A few weeks ago, I ran a mile without stopping for the first time in my life. Depending on your attitude toward fitness, this might be impressive—but more than likely, your reaction is: “Really? How on earth did you make it 31 years on this earth without running a mile?” Well, I’ll tell you. I’ve […]
This is inspired by a random recipe that I pinned on Pinterest ages ago. I bought portobello mushrooms over the weekend to add to fajitas and forgot about them, so I decided to finally try this recipe to use them up! When I pinned the recipe, I kind of assumed that it would be a […]
I am very lucky in that I didn’t even become aware of my weight until somewhere around college. Meaning that my body just so happened to fit societal standards during my childhood and adolescence; I was naturally tall and thin. I ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted—actually, during middle and high school when I […]
Adapted from Ina Garten’s recipe For some reason, I feel like people think of risotto as being this difficult dish that they’d never attempt at home—and honestly, I kind of get it. The recipe that I based this one on is pretty damn complicated and involves dirtying way too many dishes (sorry Ina, I love […]
Hey guys! I’ve had a few friends ask about how I air-dry my hair, so I thought I’d write up a post on it! A quick note: my hair is fine and wavy, so my goals are always to increase volume/definition of my waves, without having it end up frizzy. This is my current method […]
So, FINALLY—let’s talk skincare! Some background: I was lucky enough to have pretty good skin growing up, other than a very normal bout with acne when I was a teenager. My mom always taught me good skincare habits, but I kept things pretty simple: washing with a gentle cleanser, using a moisturizer with SPF, and […]
I have this tendency to doctor up/butcher recipes on the first try. A lot of times, this turns out poorly, especially when I’m baking (which is why I rarely bake other than easy/simple pancake, muffin, and banana/pumpkin bread recipes). Sometimes, it turns out perfectly, which was the case with this Moroccan chicken. I was originally […]
So. After many of you seemed to enjoy my blog post on (essentially) how to suck at decluttering, I thought I’d follow it up with a another potentially useless-to-you-but-hopefully-entertaining post on how to semi, kind of, half-heartedly diet. Ha. In all seriousness, I’ve been feeling like it’s time for me to move my health up […]
While I detest eating the same thing over and over again, at any given time I’m typically rotating through ten or so meals for dinner (and three or so each for breakfast and lunch). I love trying new recipes and getting ambitious in the kitchen, but most of the time I’m just trying to get […]
This photo was taken in the bathroom of the Airbnb that we stayed in during our recent trip to LA. It was perfectly clutter-free…because I don’t live there. Decluttering (and organizing in general) is a difficult thing when you are a mother of a toddler. Really, anything requiring more than 10 minutes of attention is […]
