Cake Batter Cinnamon Roll Recipe

This recipe combines two of my favorite recipes: cinnamon rolls & cake! In the past I’ve done a lot with cinnamon rolls: pie crust, giant layered cakes, & cookie dough infused. So it was only natural to combine cake into them somehow & come up with this recipe. Clearly I’m a sucker for any food hybrid: spaghetti & meatball burger, rice krispie pie crust, am […]

DIY Flower Sunglasses & Headband Tutorial

Truthfully, I made these sunglasses about 2 years ago. Yet every single time I wear them I get endless compliments & questions on where I got them. I’m not exactly sure where I purchased the sunglasses themselves but the floral embellishments came from Moi! I’ve recreated these glasses as well as a floral headband for […]

No Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Ganache Bars

These are pretty much a new take on my granola bars except the ratio flip flopped. The only other difference is you can totally justify binging on the granola bars… How, one might ask, did I cut that ganache so smoothly that it doesn’t get all over the knife, counter, & granola? The trick to that is wetting […]

DIY Marbled Mason Jar with Birchbox

If you’re anything like me when you move into a new home, dorm, or just room in general it starts out perfect–clean, organized, & there’s a place for everything. Yet overtime things start to accumulate & there’s no longer a spot for anything–even the things that before fit in so perfectly! That’s why every 3 months […]

You may wonder how a degree in theater, a love for yoga, & a career in marketing all led Lauren of Lakeshore Lady to start her site. Those three don’t necessarily have anything in common, but for Lauren’s site it makes total sense. Lakeshore Lady, a lifestyle blog, ties in everything Lauren loves. Her degree comes in handy […]

Pumpkin Spice Milkshake Recipe

Truthfully I’ve never had a PSL. Don’t freak out now, I’m just not huge on drinking anything but water. Yet with all the hype over the drink I figured it was time I tried it. Except I was really in the mood for a milkshake so I thought why not combine them into one delicious […]

DIY Tory Burch ‘Rosette’ Slip-On Sneaker Tutorial

I first spotted these sneakers at Nordstrom & was obsessed with their plum color. It was so unique & as I noticed more details on the shoe I fell in love. Then I looked at the price tag of $225, put the shoe down, & walked away. $225 for sneakers? Not even sneakers I can work out in […]
