Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer Recipe

I was sent this coffee by Shuffle Bean in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own. Fall is so close I can feel it. Pumpkin flavors are officially out in stores and coffee shops nationwide, and that makes me a very happy girl. Fall is my favorite, and I am very basic when it comes to my love of pumpkin. Pumpkin coffees can get expensive. It comes in K-cups, ground coffee, creamer, and many different coffee shop concoctions. I’ve teamed up with Shuffle Bean Coffee to bring you a recipe for a creamer you can…

Remus’ First Valentine’s Day

If you missed my Life Update post, I talked about changes to the blog. I lost most of my content. You can check out the post here to find out more details. That content included a Valentine’s Day shoot with Remus, and it’s the cutest thing ever. I wanted to share those sweet baby pictures of Remus again, for those who missed it the first time or wanted to see them again. Sorry not sorry for bragging on my little boy. There are also some photo shoots coming up soon – At Halloween and Christmas I…

Pool Day Essentials

This weekend was beautiful. Well, Saturday was. I spent the morning volunteering with some girls from my small group. The afternoon was so pretty, so I headed to the pool. I’ve teamed up with a few Etsy shops to show you my pool bag essentials – and they’re so fun! First, a cute bathing suit is of course necessary. I picked this one up at Old Navy last year. I love the scalloped edges – it adds a fun and classy look to this suit – check out similar ones from Target *here (this one comes…

Halloween 2016

I’ve had some pretty good Halloweens in the past, and this year was no exception. This may go down in history as my favorite so far. I celebrated Friday through Monday, and Halloween did not disappoint. My best friend since second grade got engaged a few months ago, and wanted to host a Halloween engagement party. The theme was Heroes & Villains. I already had a costume, but I had another party Saturday night, so I wanted to do something different Friday night. I already had a cat mask, so I decided to be Catwoman (seiously, such an…

My First Fragrant Jewels Experience

Fragrant Jewels recently released Wicked Gift Set, a limited edition bath bomb and candle set for Halloween. Oh. My. Gosh. It definitely went on my wish list. I ended up getting the set as a late birthday present, and I was so excited. The way Fragrant Jewels works: you burn the candle, or take a bath using the bath bomb, and a little plastic container will appear as the substances dissolve or melt, containing a ring. You can order the size you need, or say surprise me and get a random size. There are a variety of 10 rings, which…

Weekend at the Local Orchard

Why is there such a magic about Fall? The whole season just has a comfy, relaxed feel to it. One of my favorite things to do every fall is to head to the local orchard for some fun. It’s great for all ages, and is a fairly cheap day. It’s also a great way to spend some time outside and enjoy the Fall weather. Evan’s Orchard is the closest orchard to me, although there are a few more in Lexington that are pretty good also (I may have to visit a couple more by…

Fall Bucket List

IT IS FINALLY FALL (I know, I’m a week late, but it’s still fall, and I’m still excited)! If you’re like me, you look forward to Fall. It’s my favorite time of the year. My birthday, Halloween, deer season… I love it. With Fall, comes Fall things, and they’re definitely some of my favorite things. Pumpkins, witches, Fall decorations, PSL, black cats… My heart is happy. I plan on completing this entire list this Fall (check back throughout the fall to check on my progress…

Fun Halloween Playlist

Some people love Christmas, and start playing Christmas carols very early in the year (there is definitely a time when playing Christmas carols is too early). Anyone who knows me knows that I love Halloween. To get myself even more excited, I made a Halloween list on Spotify (and no, I don’t just listen to it in the fall). If you’re planning a Halloween party, or just love Halloween, a playlist of fun, spooky Halloween music is a must. Here are my must-have Halloween songs. “Monster Mash” -Bobby “Boris…
