I get so many emails asking, ‘How do you keep your hair looking so bright + blonde?’ Well, it took me quite a few salons, many stylist and plenty of money. That I do know. But, I finally landed into the arms of two pretty talented women at Parlour 3.  Meet Oxana Meade + Melissa Schleicher, they […]

This is a summer favorite of mine. There are many variations out there, but I love the kick that the jalapeno brings. I seriously can’t get enough of this salad. It’s the perfect side dish for your next outdoor BBQ. It’s a dreamy combination of sweet + salty with a touch of heat. Enjoy! Xx […]

It’s almost SUMMER and I wanted to share with you two products I go back to year after year. I love them and they give me that little glow I crave after a cold + cloudy winter. I’m from South Florida originally, so this girl knows a thing about the beachy look. Here’s two products […]

It’s SPRING Y’all! Time to hose off the font porch, kills some spiders, plant some pretty flowers and spruce up the entry. It’s my favorite season and something I look forward to all year long. Nothing feels better than a fresh new start. I have to admit when I go to someones home, I check out the […]

YES WE ARE! Or at least we’re all trying. Nobody said it was easy, nobody said it would always be fun and nobody could have ever prepared us for the amount of LOVE + JOY motherhood would bring into our lives. Most days we are overwhelmed + tired + impatient + underpaid + un-showered + hungry […]

This one comes from my mother-in-law, Sandi. Which she got from one of her dear friend/co-worker, Brenda. She’s been making this one for as long as I can remember, and don’t forget I’ve been eating at her kitchen table for about 25 years now. I remember being invited to my then boyfriends house for dinner, and this […]

I’m so tired of the fighting and arguing when it comes to picking a place for dinner out. One kid wants pizza, the other a burger and as the parents, WE JUST WANT PEACE + QUIET AND A DRINK! Ultimately WE are the parents and WE have the final say. I mean, who’s paying, right? Sometimes […]

If you’re anything like me, you HATE washing + blowdrying your hair. That’s probably why you’re reading this. Good. I love to share a lot of things, but THIS, it’s life changing. I’ve tried a few dry shampoo’s over the years, but  LIVING PROOF Dry Shampoo is my absolute FAVE. I’ve tried plenty and at […]

I’m always trying to come up with side dishes that incorporate vegetables. One that is filling enough for my ex-NFL hubs + flavorful + healthy. I think I scored with this one! I love this recipe. Couscous is a yummy grain-based starch, with protein, low in fat and taste really similar to pasta. A registered dietician suggested […]

Today I’m sharing my love for the tote bag. Ahhhh, the beloved tote. Probably the most important bag in my closet. It certainly gets more milage than that cool clutch or weekend cross-body. For me the BIGGER the better. Yes, traditionally they lack pockets, multiple zip pouches and dividers. But let’s be honest. I’m usually the one left […]
