Once a year, the red carpet is rolled out for the people normally responsible for dressing it. I’m talking about the CFDA Awards – the awards ceremony put on by the Council of Fashion Designers of America. The best of the best fashion designers are recognized while editors, models and celebs strut their trendy stuff in […]
Book Review: Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
“If she packaged the perfect Facebook life, maybe she would start to believe it herself.” – Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies If you’re a diehard Real Housewives fan like I am, this book by Liane Moriarty is the perfect read.

Avotoast at Home: Quick, Delicious & Picture-Perfect
Over the past several months, my Instagram feed has been bombarded with tons of artsy, edited photos of a certain food item. No, I’m not talking about overpriced fresh-pressed juices from jugofresh in Miami. Not sinful slices of crack pie from the trendy Momofuku Milk Bar in NYC. Not even pastel-colored macarons arranged strategically on the plate […]
Smoothie Queen: My Strawberry Green Machine Breakfast Bowl
Forget Smoothie King. I’ve been blending up a storm of healthy smoothies for breakfast the past few weeks.

If you’ve seen my Instagram lately, you probably noticed a picture of a brownie with green flecks inside.

Quick & Tasty Buffalo Chicken Quinoa
I’m a Patriots fan. I’m a Miami Hurricanes fan. But I am not a football fan. Don’t be mistaken – I’m not a bandwagon fan. Being a bandwagon fan would require me to at least watch when my teams are doing well. Hey, I love the whole experience of going to games – the tailgating, the camaraderie, the spirit, […]
Sweet Treats, Zero Guilt: 10 Healthy Dessert Recipes
Moving back home to the suburbs of Massachusetts has given me quite a bit of free time. In less than seven months I’ve gone from a full-time college student and sorority sister to a part-time worker with zero social life.
