One of my very favorite things to do during the holidays is to bake. I love trying different cookies, cakes, bread, and bar recipes. Over the years, I’ve tried to find different Italian recipes as a way to learn more about my cultural heritage and feel a connection to my Italian roots. My grandparent immigrated to the U.S. before my dad was born. They died when I was quite young, so connecting to my heritage through food and travel is how I’ve tried to make that connection. This Italian fig cookies recipe is the newest in a line of Italian recipes I’ve made lately.

When quarantine hit, the thing that shocked me the most was how much I missed going to the gym. I’ve always been a gym-goer, but only begrudgingly.

If there is one fashion trend that I absolutely love right now, it’s matching sweatsuits for women. The last time I personally remember sweatsuits being this popular, I was in elementary school. Sure, there’s been periods where Adidas pants or Nike pants are super trendy. I definitely had two pairs of Adidas pants in college that were on constant rotation. But the monochromatic, totally matching sweatsuits I haven’t rocked since I was a little girl.

Do you do Christmas nails or holiday nail art? I generally don’t do much in the way of nail art, but every now and then, I do like to change it up. Instead of shopping on Black Friday, I went in for a fresh gel mani/pedi. I stayed away from nail salons for the first 6 months of quarantine, but have since returned because I do love the longevity of gel manicures.

For the last 6 months, I’ve had a giant box of honey nut Cheerios in my pantry. Although my kids do love Cheerios, it usually isn’t their first choice. I’ve kept the pantry too full, so they opt for one of their other favorites instead of the Cheerios. Thus, I needed to find a way to get them eaten, so I decided to make marshmallow cheerio treats.

I decided to try going vegan for a week. I’m on day 4. So far, it’s actually much easier than I imagined. I’ve already noticed my digestion has improved dramatically and I have also noticed less food cravings. The one thing about any healthy eating program – you have to get used to cooking a lot more. Plus, meal prepping takes the guess work out of what you’re going to eat each day, so you’re a lot more likely to stay on track.

If you don’t already own faux leather joggers, this is the post for you. I’m pretty obsessed with the jogger trend, honestly. It is so comfortable, but can still look really put together. Vegan leather joggers help to elevate what can be a very casual look.

This was my first trip to Denver. I visited Boulder when I was a child, but that was a long time ago. When my friend XOXO Terri told me she was heading to Denver, I asked her if I could meet her there. Our friend, the Travel Mom, suggested we stay at the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center. Thankfully, the Gaylord Rockies in Denver agreed to host us.

One of my favorite fall fashion staples is sweater dresses. That’s why I decided I should also try out sweater two piece sets. I wasn’t sure that sweater sets would work on me since I thought the skirts in sweater material would be too clingy. I was pleasantly surprised that they worked even better than I imagined. These matching sweater skirt sets are a new wardrobe staple for me and I think you should try them too.

Have you ever made scones before? I know it might seem complicated, but I’m telling you, it is so easy! This orange scone recipe took me less than 20 minutes to make. Scones are super straight-forward baking, even for super novice bakers. The other great thing about this particular recipe is that you can use any type of citrus or you could even swap out the orange for another fruit if you don’t like orange flavoring.

Given my experience, I assumed other people might want to know more about options and styling tips for winter vests for women, so here goes.

One of the coolest things about visiting Sitka Alaska was getting to learn the history of this tiny island. Prior to arriving, I didn’t do much research on the place. I’ve always been a fan of history. When I travel, one of my goals is to really learn about the place and it’s culture. Sitka has a really interesting story, so I was excited to get to learn more about it while visiting the Sitka National Historical Park – also known as Totem Park.

I’m also sharing some of my favorite picks at affordable prices.
