Read MoreI’m a few days away from my 28th birthday and it’s got me reflecting on the past year. So many things, good and bad, have happened and I decided that deserved a blog post.

Read MoreDoes cooking salmon intimidate you? I used to be very intimidated by the thought of cooking salmon. For the longest time, I would only prepare it in ways that could be baked in the oven. Growing up, I don’t remember us eating much salmon and I rarely recall us cooking fish on the stove so it was a big deal when I became more comfortable trying stovetop recipes. But it shouldn’t be intimidating because it’s simple! Here’s my easy recipe for fool-proof seared salmon!

Read MorePicked up this gem last night!! An early birthday present, I guess you could say! Isn’t she a beaut? This 1968 Singer was a whopping $25 on Facebook Marketplace! 😱 And it works!! I have longed for a sewing machine of my own for quite a while. In NYC, space was so limited and it just wasn’t the right time. Recently, I’ve been talking to my mom extensively about finding a good machine. At first, I just assumed I’d head to a craft store and pick something off the shelf, hoping to stay around $100.

Read MoreA new recipe for you all!! And it’s a skillet meal! It feels like forever since I created a new dish and this is a fun one because you can really change it up to fit your family’s preferences!
