I actually had to search my blog to make sure that I hadn’t already posted this recipe, as I’ve been making it for years, and it’s truly one of the best damn things I make. As soon as I realized that it wasn’t on here, I got to work with typing it up. (Literally, in […]
Hey hello hi!! It’s been a good few years, but I’m so excited to be back to personal blogging! I’ve felt like I haven’t had the time or energy for much personal writing over the past couple of years, but I’m finally feeling like I’m emerging from a postpartum/pandemic/life fog with some renewed creativity and […]
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 […]
