It only took the first cold front of the season to start the transition of my skin going from oily to dry. It has barely gotten below the 50s over here, so I can only imagine what my skin will be like come winter. If I don’t give my skin the extra care it needs during the dry cooler months, it will instantly become dull and lose any natural glow it had. I don’t want that to happen, so…
Meal Planning Made Easy with Dinnerly
Some week nights call for a quick take out meal while others are more suitable for a nice home cooked meal. The truth is, I wish every night could allow for a home cooked meal, but life gets in the way and time is of the essence…
How to Prep Your Home for the Change of Seasons
I love the change of seasons, but I’d be lying if I said I’m not jealous of those of you that get all four seasons and feel that change much sooner than I do here in the south! I jokingly like to say we have four seasons here in Louisiana: hot, hotter, hottest, and a little hot! We don’t get a real fall — and I’ve had my fair share of real falls while living in New England to compare it to — and our winters usually consist of a mix of hot and cold…
5 Ways to Recharge Your Day
Sometimes it seems impossible to overcome the afternoon slump, but when you have a huge to-do list waiting for you to tackle, you’ve got to get past it and get things done! While I absolutely LOVE coffee, I can’t drink caffeine everyday, so I’ve had to find other ways to recharge my day…
The Ugly Side of Adulting
Y’all know I usually like to keep things happy and positive around these parts, but can we get real for a second? We’re all forced to face unwanted circumstances in life. Today, I want to talk about one of those unwanted circumstances we’ve all been affected by…
Positive Habits to Add to Your Morning Routine
I believe how you start your day lays the foundation for how the rest of your day will go. In my experience, unbalanced mornings usually lead to unbalanced and hectic days, and nobody has time for that! The same goes for food. If I start my day off with a bad “cheat” meal, chances are I’m more likely to let myself slide the rest of the day since the damage had already been done. Nobody has time for that either…
Adventurous Ways to Step Out of Your Comfort Zone
Comfort zones are our safe space, and reasonably so, they’re hard to step out of. It seems the older I get, the more I’m wanting to step out of my comfort zone and try something new, but sometimes it’s easier said than done. I know I’m not alone when it comes to working on this! Every time I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone, I’ve never regretted it, so it’s something I want to continue working on…

How to Get the Perfect Smile on Your Wedding Day
When you’re the bride, you want everything to go as perfectly as planned. I knew that feeling all too well when I was engaged. I wouldn’t consider myself a bridezilla, but I did tend to overthink and worry about every single thing about my wedding day. Will the vendors arrive on time? Will the weather be nice? Did I get enough decor? Will the band be fun? Will I reach my weight goal? How will my makeup holdup? Will my teeth be white enough? All of those thoughts ran across my mind many times…
How to Save Money While Preparing for a New Pet
Preparing for a new pet can be a lot of work, and even more so when you already have a full house! When we made the decision to get our new puppy, Charley, we knew it was going to be a lot of work since we already have 2 dogs at home, but we also knew we could handle it. Now we’ve got a full (dog) house of 3, and the humans are officially outnumbered by the dogs, but I wouldn’t have it any other way…
