Since it’s National Chocolate Chip Day…

(and yes, that’s really a thing) I had to celebrate. Any excuse to eat chocolate chips, am I right? So I baked a batch of my favorite cashew butter chocolate chip cookies. Not only are these cookies yummy and satisfying, they’re low carb and Keto friendly, as well as being grain and gluten free.  And […]

Cheap and easy Amazon beauty finds

I’m super excited about this promo and giveaway that I’m running with Annmarie Skincare. I’ve been posting it all over my social media and just realized it wasn’t up on the blog yet.

My new fave workout clothes…

are super cute, functional, and don’t break the bank. Listen, I like my Lululemon jackets and Spanx leggings as much as the next girl. But they can get pretty pricey. And with all the pics I take for Insta I like to be able to update frequently. Recently I discovered some workout wear on Amazon […]

If you own an Instant Pot…
