Over the past few years, I’ve significantly pared down my stash of toiletries. Seriously, I used to have so much that I never used. We can thank moving across country multiple times and many episodes of The Minimalists, one of my favorite podcasts. But if there is one thing I will never give up, it’s …
While I’m all about fall flavors like pumpkin and cinnamon, I can’t get enough of peppermint mocha, a wintry classic. I am obsessed with Coffee Mate’s Peppermint Mocha creamer (although I started making my own) and the drink is one of the very few things I don’t mind ordering from Starbucks. Plus, I love the way the coffee and chocolate …
Pumpkin spice season is back, and naturally, the Internet is freaking out. Personally, I prefer homemade pumpkin spice-everything over the classic Starbucks PSL for the obvious reasons: real pumpkin, less sugar, and personalized to perfection. Apparently, that preference of mine has even transferred over to DIY beauty products. This pumpkin spice lip scrub is crazy addicting, …
How do you feel about chai tea? Personally, I love it. There is just something so cozy and comforting about the combination of zesty spices and flavors. And when the autumn season comes around, my obsession with chai tea basically doubles in size. This year, I knew I just had to make a chai-infused body …
Homemade beauty products are some of my favorite things to make. I mean, once upon a time, I was obsessed with makeup. Sephora and Ulta were my version of candy stores (after Michaels and Jo-Ann’s, of course). Yet, I never liked a full face, and I rarely used the products I owned! Thankfully, my makeup …
From DIY makeup to cleaning supplies, homemade is having a serious moment right now. It’s also no surprise, considering the growing awareness (and curiosity) of things we use on the daily. We’re beginning to question what’s really in our shampoo, salad dressing, and everything in between. (Rightfully so, because why should ingredients be a mystery?!) Top it …
Natural skincare is having a serious moment right now, and I’m all about it. Beauty products and DIY… it can’t get any better than that. Plus, I’ve been on a slow and steady personal mission to use entirely homemade toiletries and makeup. (For the things that I don’t make, I turn to the wonderful sellers of Etsy.) …
Autumn might be all about pumpkin-flavored everything, but we can’t forget about all the other fall drink flavors. And after a few weeks of sharing pumpkin crafts and recipes, I decided it was time to share something a little different. This boozy beverage brings together fizzy ginger beer by Bundaberg, local apple cider, and whiskey. …
Another pumpkin project? You bet. Autumn officially began a few days ago, and I’m already diving head first into the seasonal recipes and tutorials. Plus, I’ve been obsessing over new veggie burger recipes lately. Just last week I made cauliflower, chickpea, and red pepper burgers on a whim, because those were the exact ingredients left in …
