This little corner of the internet is where hot glue meets healing. I believe crafting is a form of self-care, flower arranging is basically therapy, and turning chaos into cozy is an act of love. These DIYs aren’t about perfection — they’re about creating joy with your own two hands (and maybe a little glitter along the way).
So light a candle, turn up your favorite playlist, and let’s make something beautiful — for your home, your heart, and the version of you who still gets excited over fresh paint and a good thrift find.
One of the most classic pieces of clothing is the basic white tee. You can dress it up or dress it down; it never goes out of style. I love to pair it with a leather jacket and pumps. It just always makes me feel a little edgy and boosts my confidence. This is a look I contributed to the FYI Network. They have a new series called Style Unzipped that goes on every Monday at 10/9c. On the show they discuss the history of iconic fashion pieces. Stay tuned for the episode on the T-shirt.
Read MoreI’ve had bar cart envy for a while now, it’s kind of hard to ignore all the beautifully styled and well stocked bar carts out there on Pinterest. I love mixing up cocktails for friends when they come over and it always gets a bit messy when not everything is in one spot. I recently rearranged my office and created the perfect spot for a bar cart which gives me something nice to look at, although it can be a little distracting when Friday afternoon rolls around.
Read MoreSo this recipe actually started with a recipe I found for raspberry sorbet. It was so refreshing I thought it would be perfect in a summer cocktail. I figured mojitos are always a summer go-to cocktail, so there you have it. A match made in heaven.
Read MoreI love grilling up some hot dogs during the summer. Sometimes you don’t want to worry about dinner and just throw some dogs on the grill. I was having one of those days, but I figured I should make use out of some produce I had in my fridge. You can literally throw anything on a hot dog and not screw it up that much lol.
Read MoreThis salad is perfect for any summer dinner. It’s so light and refreshing; you won’t feel bad going back for seconds or thirds. The salad is so easy. It’s really all about the strawberry vinaigrette that brings it all together. You could top your salad with any fruit you’d like but I would recommend having a few strawberries on it. I also like a little crunch to my salads so I added sliced almond, but you could also substitute them for other types of nuts. I think walnuts or sunflower seeds would pair nicely.
Read MoreOkay, so I always get a weird look from people when I say, “I’m not a big ice cream person”. I know, I know. There’s that look. It’s not that I don’t like ice cream, I just don’t crave it all the time and it’s not something I can eat on a whim. But, when I do crave it, It’s gooood… real good. There is nothing like a scoop of good ole fashioned vanilla ice cream.
Read MoreI think every once in a while everyone needs a little change around the house. I get the itch to change things up about every 2 months, and you can imagine that's not so nice to the wallet. So I've learned to embrace the DIY revolution by using common objects that can be useful in other ways when I'm just over the previous use. The artwork above my bed is something that I did because I've been searching for a really cool art piece and just haven't found one, so I was inspired by this print that I can't find anywhere anymore. Also these wall sconces I made out of $4 wall brackets. I saw this wall sconce that I was about to buy two of and a light bulb went off. Just make it! I actually love the way it came out and I can always put up a self somewhere in the future. Win-Win!
Read MoreSummer is calling and so is this refreshing twist on the margarita. The secret ingredient is Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur.
Read MoreThis Valentine’s Day I wanted to create some really cute treat for my girlfriends and our annual ‘Girl’s Night In: Valentine’s Edition’, but I didn’t want to spend a ton of time baking and getting all technical. So I bought some cake mix, frosting and red food coloring and just figured it out on the way.
Read MoreEveryone knows that I love to entertain, so I was thrilled to partner with Ritz Crackers to create this festive treat for the holidays. It's easier than it looks, however it will take some time and love to assemble the almonds. Your friends will totally be impressed.
Read MoreThis month I'm partnering with JCPenney to share some of my favorite things about the holidays and #1 on the list is giving. It is so important to me to give well thought out gifts to my loved ones, so naturally I'm off to Pinterest to spark my inspiration for the best gifts. Come follow along and see some of my favorite items of the season. Happy Giving!

Read MoreThese cookies are super fun and easy to made and will pair perfectly to your Halloween crime scene.
Read MoreLately I've been hearing a lot of buzz about The Line Hotel in Koreatown and a greenhouse bar they have. Hearing greenhouse and bar in the same sentence is enough for me to get excited and I wasn't disappointed. It is exactly what you think when you hear greenhouse bar. It's called Commissary and their focus is on farm fresh dishes, all with a very unique Korean twist to them. Now, me being a beer girl, I was a little disappointed about their beer list (it was very small), but their food totally made up for it. I am a sucker for details when it comes to design and branding and this place nailed it. From the menus to the mix matched farmhouse china, it was all so perfect to their concept. If you're in the area, you should really go check it out.
Read MoreLately I've been in a hairstyle rut. Most workdays it starts off straightened and by the end of the day it goes up in a bun, but I need some style. So I thought I'd keep it simple. I love these Knot hairstyles to try out that are look so fast and easy.
Read MoreI'm in love with these summery white styles. White on white can be tricky to put together and even trickier to stay clean, but I've been going for it lately. I looks so clean and refreshing, especially on a hot day.
Read MoreThis weekend I’m going on a much needed girls trip to Vegas. It’s been years since I’ve been, so needless to say I am definitely gonna let loose a little (okay maybe a lot).
Read MoreCrostinis are my new favorite snack. They are so easy to make and I usually already have ingredients in the fringe that will go well. The best part is you can get as creative and daring as you want. Whether you’re feeling sweet, savory or both almost anything goes well on a piece of toast. Here are some variations I came up with yesterday when I was having a mid-day craving.
Read MoreNothing says 4th of July like a festive red, white, and blue treat. This is the perfect cocktail to sip all day by the pool and you won’t feel guilty about it. Not only is it low in calories but also it’s super easy to make. Just toss all ingredients into a pitcher and serve on ice.
