The most romantic day of the year is just around the corner, and what better way to show your loved ones that you care than with a few Valentine’s Day crafts and recipes? Sure. Store-bought chocolates could do the trick (depending on your loved one, of course), as could those fun pop culture-themed valentines that […]
Sometimes the work week gets you down and you’d basically give your right arm for something sweet. The only problem is you’re already at home in your PJs when the cravings kick in. Your options: Go out and buy a dessert, or stay in and make a last minute dessert recipe! To me, the choice […]
Let’s be real: Roses are obviously one of the most beautiful flowers that have ever existed, right? Like, that’s not really a hotly contested issue, is it? Because I love roses. And everywhere I look, I see roses in some shape or form. While I love real flowers and real life vases of red roses, […]
Yes, being single can suck, but no one likes a Valentine’s Day naysayer. If anything, forget about Valentine’s Day being about finding that extra-special someone who will spend the rest of his/her life by your side. Just be thankful that Valentine’s Day desserts exist (and that they’re absolutely glorious). To be frank, Valentine’s Day is […]
Cheese is often overlooked as a budget-friendly ingredient, often because it’s usually something we have to use in addition to something else—bread, meat, in soups or salads.

It’s so easy to come by and it’s even easier to cook with. Obviously, just because it’s not considered “high class” doesn’t mean it […]
Gold accents seem to have been everywhere lately. From fashion and jewelry to home decor and, of course, crafting, the glimmer of gold works with both neutral and colorful palettes. What looks to be a pricey finish can be easily, and often economically, achieved in your DIY paper crafting projects. Gold foil, gold leaf pens, […]
It’s no secret that pretzels make for the best snacks. They’re just the perfect amount of salty that they could be paired with pretty much anything. Savory dips, sweet chocolate, other salty snacks… So many things. I have a habit of always having at least one bag of pretzels in my pantry. Twists, rods, sticks… […]
What is it about offices that makes them always steaming hot or absolutely freezing? Maybe it’s just because we all have our own ideal temperature, and we’re never satisfied. One person’s comfortable temperature is another person’s version of Antarctica. Whatever the reason, you have solutions in the form of creamy (or broth-y) deliciousness. A toasty […]
Winter is one of my favorite seasons of the year…to stay indoors. Don’t get me wrong—there are few things more beautiful in nature than the sight of untouched sparkly snow and icy trees.
