Fall Foodie: Espresso Streusel Coffee Cake

I want to preface this post by saying that it absolutely drives me nuts when you’re trying to check out a recipe and you have to scroll through paragraph after paragraph of someone’s autobiography or their whimsical recollections of each and every single ingredient used- because I know that many of us just want to […]

My Fall Skincare/Hair Care Routine!

One of the many perks of the Fall season here in New England is that despite the fact that it very much serves as a bit of a transitional period between the hot and humid days of Summer and the frigid, Arctic-like temperatures of the Winter- my every day/night skincare routine only ever needs a […]

Fall Foodie: Roasted Sweet Potato and Caramelized Onion Flatbread

Although I am still very much all about pumpkin and apple-flavored everything this time of year, I’ve been looking ahead to Thanksgiving and all the appetizers and side dishes that come with the main course. I feel like given how scaled down last year’s socially distanced gathering was with myself and my immediate family, we’re […]

Halloweekend!

Happy November, everyone! It’s a brand new month and the beginning of the impending holiday season. I hope you’re all ready- or as ready as you can be right now- and I especially hope this past weekend (or “Halloweekend.” as I like to call it) was a lot of fun for you and your friends/loved […]
