I love playing with makeup & doing fun colors & dramatic eye looks, but let’s get real….. “ain’t nobody got time for that” on a busy morning! I save the fun makeup for special occasions (when I actually do have time) & stick to a basic routine on “normal” days. This is my go-to look for work or school; when I want to look put together, but not overdone. It gives me…
I love picking up seasonal veggies when I’m at the grocery store. They’re brighter, tastier, and more likely to be grown locally.

Sometimes we all just need a little dessert. Long day, special occasion, sweet-tooth moment; whatever the reason may be. This is what I turn to when Iām craving a little guilt-free (seriously!) indulgence. Itās full of clean & simple ingredients, and just tastes amazing. Sweet, warm, chocolate cake goodness with rich coffee flavor, all in your favorite mug & ready in less than five minutesā¦. what?! Ingredients: 2 Tbsp unsweetened…
