Thank you All Modern for sponsoring this post. So it’s finally time to say goodbye to this unnerving year and welcome in the new, promising 2021. I honestly can’t believe I’m saying this because this entire year has felt like I’m in limbo, not really sure what’s going on or what’s next. I think it goes without saying that this year has brought so many changes. From the way we shop, to the way we gather with our families. We’ve…
We knew we were no sommelier when we decided to have a wine tasting for our friends. However, we knew we loved wine, loved pairing it with different foods, and overall loved the idea of being able to describe what we tasted. We’re becoming more and more curious about wine and wanted to share that with our friends, so we thought, why not host a wine tasting? I promise it sounds more snobby than it is! It was a fun…
The other day at work I was approached by one of my students asking me to answer a few questions for his Spanish class. I thought the interview would be related to culture or language, but instead he proceeded to ask me questions about the environment and what I was doing to help it. Was I recycling? What kind of produce did I shop for? I was pleasantly surprised at how aware he was of these issues and the type…
When we flipped our house, one of the top priorities we had was the kitchen. We wanted everything in the kitchen to be as perfect as we could possibly make it, and that included having a nice pantry. The first apartment we shared didn’t have an actual pantry, so the only space we had for food storage was the fridge and a few cabinets. Not the ideal situation. Our pantry now might not be the biggest, but it’s just what…
Holiday get-togethers are in full swing and if you’re anything like me, you either volunteer or get volunteered to host at least one gathering during the holidays. With the exception of the one brunch I’m about to go into detail about, this year we decided to take things easy and have enjoyed being guests at our family gatherings. Last year we hosted a New Years eve party for family and friends in our small home and while it was a total success, I…
So I hear it’s national rosé day tomorrow and I just have to ask.. does anyone care? Ok that might sound a bit harsh, specially when this entire post is related to rosé, but I do honestly wonder. I, for one, care because it helps inspire me when creating content. I love that it’s something to look forward to and honestly I hope other people feel the same. Whether you celebrate by ordering a glass of rosé instead of your…
If its not too obvious already, I am no makeup guru. But, like a lot of you girls out there, I love makeup and beauty products. It feels amazing to find the right combination of products that just work with you. It’s even more amazing when this combo of products gets you from looking dead in the morning to looking semi decent and ready for work! I’ve always had issues with acne and dark spots. Oh my gosh I look…
Entertaining is one of my favorite things to do. I love having friends and family over for a glass of wine, light appetizers, dinner or all of the above. I love accommodating our guests and have been told I’m not too bad at it. So, I’d like to share some tips I’ve learned over the past few years of having my own place and actually being able to throw adult gatherings. Last weekend we had a lovely brunch date with our friends…
Oh I can’t tell you how much I love brunching at home. Going out to brunch is great, but when you can stay in your pj’s and then watch a movie in the comfort of your own bed or couch… need I say more? (maybe I shouldn’t let my hubby see this or we won’t be going out to brunch anymore, hehe) Weekends have been crazy for us this year. When we got married two years ago, we quickly got…
Hey there! I’m so excited to share with you a few more details of our recent home renovation! Just a heads up.. it’s a lengthy post. BUT, I’ve sectioned off each topic I’ll be addressing for your convenience. 🙂 So, we finally started the process of remodeling the garage a few weeks ago. It had been something we put all the way down to the bottom of our to-do list from the beginning but the more we waited to get…
