4 Winter Recipes To Keep You Warm
During the winter months, we all want to eat warm and comforting food that helps us to fight off the cold weather. It is also important to eat meat during the winter period. This is because it contains a high amount of protein, which causes the greatest increase in heat production in the body. The scientific term for this is ‘specific dynamic action’, but in basic terms, it means that meat is the best food to consume if you want to keep warm. So let’s take a look at some of the best recipes for the cold months ahead… https://pixabay.com/en/potato-cook-pot-eat-food-fresh-544073/ Pot Au Feu Pot Au Feu is a comforting dish.…

Red, Green, & Gold Christmas Tree
This year with my new townhouse I got a new Christmas tree from Costco. A pre-lit one, which is new to me. I have to say it was so much easier to not have to string the lights! The tree I got is 7 ft. tall and the lights can be white, colored, or alternate – which is the setting I normally have it on since I love both white and colored lights. The small lights are classic and clean, but part of me still misses those large old school bulbs! For my tree this year, I inadvertently got an assortment of red, green, and gold ornaments. When I went…

Navy Blue Quilted Jacket
We’re getting close to the time of year where we need to break out our winter jackets for the next few months, but before we get there I wanted to share a lighter weight jacket. Back in the summer I was at J.Crew and saw this navy blue quilted jacket with gold hardware and instantly loved it. I did not love the price tag, however. It wasn’t ridiculously expensive, but it was more than I wanted to spend at the time on a jacket despite loving it. I love navy blue and the quilted jacket looked so nice. The gold zipper and buttons looked so good against the blue too.…

Restyled: Cold Shoulder Sweater + Plaid Foldover Clutch
Going back to work after a long weekend is always tough. I’m hoping today goes by quickly and smoothly! Today I’m sharing the last look from my fall photoshoot with Lauren – a restyling of two items that have been on the blog before. I thought that this white cold shoulder sweater paired with jeans, blue loafers, and my plaid foldover clutch would make the perfect fall look. Top: LOFT | Clutch: Lauren Ericka Designs via Aster Market | Jeans: Old Navy | Shoes: DSW I love the waffle knit of this cold shoulder sweater. It’s so cozy! Plaid is never not in style and it’s always perfect for fall. Foldover clutches…

Slow Cooker Boeuf Bourguignon
I love a good slow cooker recipe any time of the year, but especially during the colder/winter months because slow cooker recipes are usually heartier. Last winter I made a slow cooker boeuf bourguignon and it was so good! I didn’t get a chance to share it last winter on here so I’m sharing it now since we are just at the start of the cold weather. I don’t remember which recipe/website I followed when I made this last winter and it’s driving me crazy that I can’t find it saved on my Pinterest or in my bookmarks. This one seems like the closest to what I made except it’s not…

Love is the Foundation Brush
If you are in to beauty, you may have heard many times before that one of the most important things is that you’re using good quality tools/brushes. That doesn’t necessarily mean that they need to be expensive, but good makeup brushes are a good investment. You can wear drugstore makeup and if you have good quality brushes you can still look flawless. Likewise, you can splurge on high-end makeup and if your brushes are lousy, your makeup may not look so great. Once in a while, I like to buy new brushes even though mine are still in good shape. I wash them regularly using my Sigma glove and baby…

Book Review: The Hate U Give
Full disclosure – I didn’t have very high expectations for The Hate U Give. My students in my book club chose it to read and I thought it was going to be just a typical teenage book that was turned in to a movie. I knew the premise of the book and that it was a best seller – but that still didn’t really give me high hopes. But, I ended up really liking it and halfway through I was really hooked and couldn’t stop reading. The Hate U Give follows teenager, Starr Carter, who lives in a rough neighborhood. Her father is a former gang member who left the gang…
