During the fall, Wild Amor tends to turn into a food blog, and I’m all about it. There’s something so comforting about the spicy-sweet notes of autumn. Chai is a personal favorite of mine, so I knew I had to make a chai smoothie concoction. (Actually, this past weekend I had chai apple cider at …

Pumpkin Couscous Cake Recipe
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 …
DIY Pumpkin Spice Lip Scrub
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, …
Halloween Shots: Apple Pie & Spiced Orange (Plus DIY Silver Sugar)
September is here, which means Halloween is next month, which means I’m already knee deep in autumn DIY projects. And in the effort to share more recipes, this week’s post features not one, but two scarily tasty Halloween shots. (I’m already party planning in my brain, apparently.) Both “recipes” are super simple and really, really, delicious. I mean, …
How To Make Strawberry Basil Honey Ricotta Pizza
Summer is basically done, you guys. And as someone who despises humidity, I am pretty freakin’ stoked. Granted, I might not be saying the same thing in the dead of winter, but that’s another story. Until then, I’ll settle with the cool breezes and autumn projects. However, I couldn’t let that happen without one last summery “hurrah”… …
How Infuse Honey With Rose
My home is filled with jars and jars of dried flowers, herbs, and spices… and I wouldn’t have it any other way. These materials bring food and crafting to an entirely new level. Floral face scrubs? Yes, please. Homemade teas? I’ll take three. And then there’s things like cinnamon soy wax melts, air fresheners, and lavender …
Wedding DIY: Floral Push Pop Send-Off
From beginning to end, a wedding has so much potential for DIY decor. Think about it: as the newlyweds walk/drive/skip away, guests often shower them with rice or confetti. Usually, there are bells and whistles and everything in between. Streamers are also a popular choice, especially since they create an awesome visual. But what about flowers? It …
Review & Giveaway: Craft A Brew Apple Pie Hard Cider DIY
Over the past few years, I’ve developed an appreciation for hard cider. This likely stemmed from my indifferent feelings on beer, which I have to be in the mood for. Granted, I’ve totally become a regular at 2way Brewery here in Beacon, NY, but that’s an exception. (I’ve got friends that work there and it’s …
DIY Stone Air Plant Holder
Air plants are too cool. You can’t deny it. For starters, they defy the “typical” plant, as they don’t need any soil to survive. They can also “live” in countless containers, making them super versatile. Plus, they’re real easy to care for, and only need to be soaked once a month. (Brown thumbs, I’m looking at you.) Talk …
Wedding DIY: Monogram Twig Necklace
Now that June is upon us, it’s officially wedding season! This year, I’ve already attended one, and have two more this summer. So, what better time to start rolling out the DIY wedding projects? If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I adore these types of crafts. It’s basically an obsession. For …
Dyed Bandanna Choker DIY
Bandannas are my jam. There’s something so classic about that paisley print. (In fact, the hoodie I’m wearing right now has a bandanna back patch.) From bandanna scrap earrings to a bandanna scrap choker, I’ve been all about re-purposing this quintessential accessory. So, when I spotted these bandanna necklaces at Dannijo, I knew I had …
