In March, Kooper and I went to Italy for his birthday. We had the greatest time! I wanted to break down an Italy recap for you in case you are planning a trip yourself starting with our time in Venice!

Hi friends! Happy Monday. I hope this post finds you well, and by well, I mean off for a long weekend :). I saw that Athleta was having a good sale over this holiday weekend, so I thought I would round up some of my most recent Athleta faves. Some on sale, some that aren’t (more on this below) but all good options for Athleisure or athletic wear!

Happy Tuesday! I am here again with another great fall recipe for you! Today, we are making pumpkin oatmeal cookies. These are so yummy, and versatile. The great thing about this recipe, is that you can mix in whatever extras you want to make these even better, the base recipe still stays the same! For example: you could add pecans, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, etc. If you choose to do any add ins, use 2.5 cups of oats instead of the 3 the recipe calls for, and add in a cup of whatever extras you might like. You seriously, can’t go wrong!

I am back with book recs this month! I have been reading a ton lately, but to be quite honest, a lot of the books that I have read have not been books that I would necessarily recommend to anyone else to read. Not that they were terrible, they just weren’t “have you on the edge of your seat” good.
The GOOD news though, is I have three (yes, THREE) good books for October. I had it narrowed down to one, and was planning to leave it at that. However, since October brings cool weather and Halloween, I thought what better time is there to give you three scary books to make your Halloween season a little spookier? :)

Happy Sunday, friends! It is finally starting to feel like fall outside. Even though it still gets hot in the afternoons, the fact that there is essentially NO humidity makes every day 100x more enjoyable.
With fall kicking off, you know that means I have to come through with alllll the fall recipes to make you feel warm inside and also make your house smell like a dream, win-win!
Today I have a pumpkin bar recipe with a brown sugar cinnamon frosting that is to die for. The pumpkin bars themselves aren’t too sweet, but the frosting definitely makes up for it. Alright, let’s get to it!

Hey guys! It’s that time again for the Nordstrom anniversary sale. I know the social media space is SUPER saturated with posts about this. I have intentionally decided to wait to post about it (and for a while, wasn’t even sure if I would). Fact is, where I live - I don’t have a Nordstrom nearby to shop in person. In addition to that, most people who are shopping it, don’t get to shop until later in the sale. I wanted to wait to post so I could post more of a “what’s still in stock” post for those of you that the sale is just now opening up to.

Okay… if you’re new around here it probably won’t take you long to figure out just how much I love eating sweets. (or just eating in general, ha!) I stay looking for great recipes, especially for dessert! My last almond cake I posted was pretty labor intensive with layers, fillings, etc. This one - is one of the EASIEST and YUMMIEST cakes you will ever make - especially if you love an almond flavored cake like I do!

Happy hump day, friends! Like I mentioned earlier this week - it has been a MINUTE since I’ve been on. Trying to play catch up. Regardless of posting on here, I think it is super important to move your body everyday but I always like to post a wellness/workout post if you’re looking for ideas or to switch things up! Today I have two videos for you - one is a 15 minute arms and shoulders circuit and the other is a 10 minute core workout. Although neither of these workouts are what I would call “hard”, doing them outside had me sweating buckets!

This upcoming weekend is Father’s Day! I wanted to round up some last minute gift ideas and thought “who better to help me with listing desirable Father’s Day gifts than my dad himself??” If you are lucky enough to know my dad, you know that 1. he is the GREATEST dad ever and 2. he is bougie and extremely high maintenance. Because of that, we can trust that he knows quality and any gifts he suggests would be a hit with your dad as well :). No tool sets here! This gift guide really caters to the tech savvy dad. Let’s get to it!

Hi friends! I have been MIA for a couple of weeks. Work has been crazy for me lately. I’ve been traveling a good bit, which I am thankful for as I did not get to during COVID’s reign of terror. Wanted to pop in and make sure you all knew about the sale going on in the Like to Know it app. If you don’t have the app, you should definitely download it. The sales going on right now are only accessible to ltk users. Once you get the app, you can follow any influencers you love - along with me - and follow everything they link to their blogs and instagrams :). If you have any ltk questions, feel free to reach out to me directly!
