Closet Tour

I would say one of the most common comments and questions have to do with my closet! “How big is it?” “Where do you put everything?” “What are your organizational tricks?” Well, here it is, ladies – a peek into my closet. And yes, I am wearing my pajamas! I refused to take these soft things off my body this day!!! It’s Christmas break, and I am living the dream of being in comfortable clothes all day! I use these hangers to hold all of my clothes. I love them because they are velvet, so my clothes don’t slip off. They also take up half the space of a traditional plastic hanger. Here is another similar version that are less expensive.

The Scoop on My Hair


I have had tons of questions lately about my hair! Honestly, my hair didn’t used to be something I received questions about! It was thin, stringy, and couldn’t hold a curl!

But then in August, reader, Amanda, reached out to me to try a new product – Monat! Amanda wanted to send me a full size shampoo and conditioner because she was just sure that I would love it! I will admit, I was skeptical at first, but I figured I had nothing to lose. I told her I would commit three months to using only the shampoo and conditioner. After the three months, I would get back to her with what I thought about the products.

The Most Delicious French Toast

So…. let me start by saying, I am HORRIBLE at photographing food! But don’t let that scare you away from the deliciousness of this make-ahead dish!! Not only is the dish DELICIOUS, but it is also easy to make and can be made ahead – all wins in my book! I first made this 4 years ago when I hosted my sister and brothers for Christmas because my parents were in Hawaii for their 35th wedding anniversary! Everyone loved it! And every year for Christmas with my family, it is always a hit.

Fall Decorating

It’s no secret that I love dressing for fall! But I also love decorating for fall too! Here’s a peek into our house all ready for fall! Pumpkin spice and everything nice!

A Great Summer Meal

A love a good steak for dinner! In the summer time, my usual choice was grilling! That was until a couple summers ago when my best friend, Brooke (the most fabulous cook!!) told me that I should try making my steaks in the oven in a cast iron skillet!! This totally changed how amazing my steaks tasted!!!

Chocolate Torte

To say Henry and Lucy LOVE Chocolate Torte would be an understatement! I love this recipe because it is pretty easy and is always a crowd pleaser! For those of you with any gluten sensitivities, it is also flourless!!
