I’m always trying to up my protein intake…and always in the mood for a sweet treat. I have Pinterest boards full of lightened-up dessert and snack recipes that’ve been collecting proverbial dust for years. I finally put two of them to good use and was pleasantly surprised with the results. First up are these Banana […]
Nana. Nan. Virginia. Vee. Ma. You went by many names, but the one I feel luckiest to have called you is “friend.” Lots of people are close with their grandparents, but it feels like a rare privilege that I was able to call my grandmother my friend, too. Nowadays, people in my generation seem to […]
Just in the nick of time, I finished my 50th read of the year! I didn’t have an initial goal in mind, but I decided to count a few weeks ago and realized how close I was to that milestone—so why not reach it?! Don’t forget to catch up on Part 1 and Part 2 […]
Since my initial 2021 book review post (“Everything I’ve Read So Far in 2021“), I’ve knocked 25 more off my to-be-read list, so I was long overdue for a part two. To keep this post manageable for both me and you, dear reader, I’ve kept it to about half that and plan on posting a […]
You probably know by now that I have a *bit* of an addiction to buying wall art. I’m close to running out of space for it in my small apartment, but that hasn’t stopped me yet. So, when Mapiful reached out to tell me about their new LineArt prints, I couldn’t resist. Here’s a snippet […]
I moved into my “new” apartment five months ago…but I’m just finally getting around to sharing it with you. To be honest, it took me a long time to get it exactly how I wanted it—from waiting on backordered items to moments of indecision and pure laziness, this apartment was certainly not built in a […]
It’s no secret that I’m a bookworm. That’s why book reviews have always been a feature I’ve tried to keep up with on the blog. Since January, though, I’ve been breezing through books and keeping note of titles, but haven’t taken the time to sit back and talk about them. I recently did a poll […]
I was far too young to understand—or even notice, for that matter—the stardom Princess Diana held toward the end of her life and in the years after her untimely death. I hadn’t even turned six when she was tragically killed. The one thing I always associated with the Princess was the iconic royal purple Beanie […]
Here I was, tweeting away about a new Netflix holiday movie I was hate-watching, when my friend Mackenzie asked where my blog post was. I had completely forgotten that last year, I rated the streaming platform’s cheesy yuletide flicks. How could I?! I know today is Christmas Eve so it may seem like I dropped […]
So you just finished that epic show you got super into. Whether it took you one night or two months to finish it, you still have that familiar, incomplete feeling. That “now what?” moment. Since we’re going to be spending even more time than usual at home this winter, I wanted to lend a helping […]
