Fluffy Pancake Recipe

I have a confession to make: I am usually a total waffle addict. I know what you're thinking now - why would I trust a waffle addict to give me a pancake recipe? What you really should be thinking is, how could I not try the recipe that converted a waffle addict into a pancake lover? That's right - this recipe from Her Cup of Joy is hands down the best pancake recipe I have ever tried. It's simple, delicious, and fool-proof. I will never use another pancake recipe - these are the treat I will ... VIEW THIS POST

Splurge vs. Save: Affordable Spring Look

One of my favorite things to do when new pieces come out is to find less expensive alternatives. Especially when I know things are probably only going to be on trend for a couple seasons (if that), I would much prefer to find something that I don't have to drop a ton of money on.

Dramatic Ruffle Sleeve

It's only the third week of spring and I've already talked so much about ruffle sleeves. It is one of the biggest trends of the season and I can't get enough of it.

Relationship Advice: What I’ve Learned

This is a post that is definitely a bit different for me. It has nothing to do with the shoe of the season or which face mask I am loving right now - it is all about my relationship with Andrew and all the things I have learned over nearly a decade together. I am not saying we have it all figured out or we are #relationshipgoals by any means but we are extremely happy together and that's the most important thing. Also, we are at such a fun stage in our lives and relationship that I wanted to be ... VIEW THIS POST

Everyday Makeup Tutorial

I have been in love with makeup since I was really young. I remember asking my Aunt Patti to apply Estee Lauder black eyeliner on me "just in the corners" when I was five years old. The obsession started then and hasn't stopped since. While my fascination with makeup has stayed consistent, my makeup routine definitely hasn't. When I was in 7th grade, I used to wear brown eyeliner in my waterline only and no mascara (can you imagine?!). I would like to think my makeup skills and products have ... VIEW THIS POST
