A trend I’m really embracing at the moment is crop tops with high waisted skirts. If it gives me yet another way to sport a maxi, AKA blanket-sweatpants disguised as a fancy ensemble, I’m totally on board. Continue reading “Crop Top Chop DIY Sewing Tutorial”
By popular demand I was asked to write a post on home decor this week! It just so happens that I’d been meaning to do something about the sad lampshade I had on my desk. Over years of moving it into and out of storage during college, some odd stains and dents had really distressed the shade, and not in that cute way people are always looking for. I could have just bought a new one, but I really wanted to find a way to reuse the one I already had. Continue reading “Lamp Revamp”
The two things I try to never keep around the house are Oreo cookies and Reese’s Peanut butter Cups. The speed at which I can scarf either of them down is comparable to a college frat boy chugging beer. Either delight really kills the effect of any sort of workout regimen I try to keep.
That being said, sometimes I break my own rules. Especially when it comes to putting the two of these heavenly treats together into one angelic dessert. I have creatively named these godly desserts Oreo Reese’s. I don’t want to brag and say that they’re amazing. But I wouldn’t want to lie to you either.
The basic idea is to take an Oreo cookie, fill it with Reese’s Peanut butter Cup filling (from my Homemade Reese’s Bars post!), and dip the cookies in white chocolate.

This past weekend was absolutely incredible. With the arrival of homecoming weekend at my alma mater, so came the arrival of all of my long lost soulmates! Such excitement called for cocktails, and anyone who knows us knows we love margaritas. Blood orange ones to be exact. But one of our favorite happy hour joints took them off the menu!

Summer is coming folks, I can feel it. Or at least I’m being really gung-ho about the idea of summer coming. Either way, it’s almost time to pull out some hippie headbands for music festivals, trips to the beach, and leisurely bike rides! Continue reading “Hippie Headbands DIY”
During a hard time for my family, we said goodbye to my amazing and wonderful grandmother. She was always the most adventurous woman with more self-control than I can ever imagine having. While she held an incredibly slim figure, there was never an absence of sweets at her house. One of my favorite treats she used to make me were her homemade Reese’s bars. She really perfected the texture of the peanut butter to taste just like a Reese’s candy, and the recipe is quick and simple to make! It’s also no bake!

With all the cold weather heading out the door and the sunshine pouring through my windows here in Houston, I was inspired to squeeze some citrus! And what goes better with lemons and limes than raspberry, am I right? Continue reading “Raspberry Topped Lemon-Lime Squares Recipe”
I have a confession to make. I really do enjoy boxed cake. It’s easy, cheap, and failsafe. The main reason boxed cake can be so amazing though, is because of homemade buttercream frosting! It’s to die for and really not a huge deal to make. Making your own frosting takes a boxed cake to the next level and really gives the cake an overall homemade taste. Skip the old canned frosting next time and try this homemade buttercream frosting. I dare you to not lick the bowl!
