Slow Cooker Butter Chicken
I love butter chicken and I found the best slow cooker recipe for it. It is so good that I’ve made it multiple times since I found the recipe last year. I think the key is that it’s a slow cooker recipe because it really allows those flavors to develop. I follow this recipe that I found via Pinterest. I follow the recipe exactly, except I don’t garnish with cilantro cause yuck! I’m one of those people that can’t stand cilantro. I tell this to everyone who asks me about it, but there have been studies that show that for some people they just genetically cannot stand cilantro and it…

Knitting with LoveCrafts
Do you like knitting? A lot of people find it relaxing and a version of self-care. Time to yourself. I find it relaxing too, although I can’t do anything fancy. Like at all. I’ve tried looking at patterns, but they confuse me so I basically can only make scarf and blankets because they’re straightforward. It’s basically the same for crocheting for me. LoveCrafts reached out to me at the end of the year and told me about their community for all things crafts such as sewing, stitching, and of course, knitting. With the start of a new year, and an ever growing trend of self-care in this high-anxiety times, they…

Emerald Pull Chain Bracelet
I love pull chain bracelets because they’re customizable to your wrist size. I have small wrists so unless bracelets are adjustable or stretchy, they’re usually too big on me. And even if they have a lobster claw closure or toggle unless there are enough links, it could still be too big for me. But, pull chain bracelets are completely adjustable – you just pull until it fits! I had my eye on these emerald and crystal dangly pull chain bracelet from Alex & Ani all during the lead up to the holidays. I’m pretty sure I shared it on Instagram Stories multiple times. I was going to buy it for…

Restyled: Loopstripe Sweater + Faux Leather Leggings
Faux leather leggings have been everywhere for months. I contemplated getting the infamous Spanx ones when they were on major sale a little while ago, but I couldn’t bring myself to spend like $70 on leggings. Plus, I’ve never bought Spanx leggings before so I didn’t even know if I’d want the leather ones. However, I did still want to try out the trend, but for less money in case I had a Ross Gellar moment and I hated them. Hopefully you all know what episode I’m talking about! I found a pair of vegan leather leggings at Express that were on sale for Black Friday and my mom actually…

Dining Room Update
I’m back with another renovation/update post and today it’s my dining room. It’s not really a “room” per se since my condo has a pretty open concept to it, but it’s the dining area, let’s say. This room didn’t go through major changes – it’s not like I changed the whole layout or gutted it all – but I did do a few things that changed the whole feel of the room in my opinion. So one thing to note is that since the layout is pretty open, things like the paint color and floor changes are the same for my living room, hallway, stairs – all of which I…

Dusty Sage Oversized Pullover
It was ridiculously warm over the weekend. Like spring temperatures warm! It was so nice to be outside, but extremely weird considering it’s January in the northeast! It’s back to being cold though and this weekend and next week is supposed to be pretty cold. So to wear this oversized, dusty sage cozy pullover over the weekend was a little warm. But, I was comfy so it was comfortable to wear with leggings, a tank top underneath, and I wore it without a coat so I was good. I got this pullover because so many people were talking it up on social media and how amazingly soft and cozy it…

3 Reasons You Should Look After Your Hearing Health
We have lots of aspects of our health that can often get neglected, and your hearing health is one of them. Be honest with me, when was the last time you ever got your ears checked out? Have you ever had a hearing examination in your life? Most of us won’t even step foot in an audiologist’s office until we’re in our sixties! By that point, the damage could already be done, and you suffer from hearing loss. It’s easy to think that we shouldn’t worry about our hearing health when we’re younger. However, there are many reasons to be concerned. Losing your hearing can affect your life in so…
