I’m a lifestyle blogger, who over the last few years, has morphed into a travel-centric blogger. For my last two jobs, I had many opportunities to travel nationally (Seattle, Miami, New York) and internationally (like South Africa, Buenos Aires, Italy, Turks & Caicos, Puerto Vallarta). This spring, I was supposed to visit Montreal, Slovenia, and a few other U.S. cities too.

How are you celebrating the 4th of July this weekend? Since my family is still practicing social distancing as much as possible, we will definitely stay close to home. We’ll probably have a little bbq at our neighborhood park. I was hoping to take my kids to see fireworks this year, but all of the events near me have been canceled. We can still have a fun time at our house with the old fashioned at-home fireworks.

One of my all-time favorite low carb recipes is my cauliflower breadsticks. I make them at least a couple of times a month. Although I love them, I decided to try to swap out cauliflower for zucchini because I had a bunch of zucchini on hand. Let me tell you, this zucchini pizza crust recipe turned out even better than I expected! If you want to try this delicious low carb pizza recipe for yourself, I’m going to show you how.

Who’s ready for the 4th of July? How are you going to celebrate this year? And most importantly, what are you wearing? I wanted to share some red and white outfit ideas with you that I think are perfect for the 4th of July!

Have you ever tried baking with Butterfinger® candy bars? I’ve always wondered how it would be to bake with them, so I decided to try making Butterfinger blondies. To my delight, these turned out even better than I expected, so I wanted to share them with you.

Back in March, I had the chance to go to Huntington Beach with the Travel Mom for her first-weekend getaway. She had many fun activities on her weekend itinerary, including fancy dinners, parties, and some amazing speakers. One thing I never expected, was that I would learn how to surf.

One of my favorite summer trends is matching two piece sets. I recently ordered a few different matching sets from Shein. If you haven’t shopped at Shein, one of the reasons I love it is because you can try different trends without spending too much. That way, if you only wear it for a season or two, you won’t feel bad about donating it or sticking it in the back of your closet for the next time the trend comes around (and it will).

My name is Stacey, I’m a Millenial(ish), and I’m addicted to TikTok. When I first told my friends and family I joined, they told me I was too old for TikTok. We joked about how ridiculous our older Millenial friends looked doing the savage dance. You know what I’m talking about – your friends who share their TikToks to Instagram and other platforms.

It’s strawberry season and my family is so happy. Strawberries are my son’s favorite fruit, so I always stock up on them when it’s the prime season. This year, I went a little overboard and had way too many. That’s why I decided to try baking with fresh strawberries this time around.

I’ve seen so many friends, influencers, and acquaintances posting online lately. They want to know how to be an ally in #blacklives matter.

I recently participated in a few zoom interviews for a few different positions. Since they were all via zoom, I didn’t have to worry much about what I was wearing on the lower half. As I wrote in this post about preparing for a video interview, you should focus on how your upper body looks. I chose to wear blouses and blazers for those interviews. But what about your hair? Have you considered how to wear your hair for an interview?

Yesterday, the day when many people chose to be silent in solidarity and to amplify Black voices, I spoke out. It’s not that I don’t support Black voices, I absolutely do. I will be sharing Black voices on my social media and blog now and moving forward. However, as a white mom to bi-racial children, I feel I must be vocal. My kids’ futures depend on it.

The biggest shock to me about George Floyd’s murder is just how surprised so many Americans are. To me that means one thing, they haven’t been paying attention. Honestly, I’m angry that people are suddenly outraged when African Americans have been treated inhumanely for, literally, centuries.

Back in February, I had another opportunity to visit Miami. I’ve gone the last three years in February for work reasons, and it’s absolutely the best time to visit the city, in my opinion. Now that Florida and many other states have reopened after lifting their coronavirus stay home orders, I thought it was the right time to write this long-overdo story. Today, I want to share with you some fun things to do in Miami this weekend, or the next time you visit.

It’s officially white dress season people! I mean, I don’t really buy-into not wearing white before Memorial Day, but a lot of people do. Although, I definitely do tend to break out the white dresses a lot more when it’s summertime. There is something so clean and summery about a crisp white dress. I recently got this new white eyelet dress and I love it! It’s so whimsical and flowy. It feels just perfect for summer.

I got this black and gold dress before COVID happened. I definitely bought it with going out in mind. Its the type of dress I’d wear to a nice dinner, or to a wedding. It’s fancy, but not that fancy. It can definitely be worn for a night out or wedding, but it can also be dressed down for work with a long blazer.

Believe it or not, video interviews are not that new of a concept. I was actually hired via a video interview back in 2011. At the time, the video technology was pretty decent, but it’s definitely come a very long way since then. Today’s video interviews are almost as good as being in person.

I don’t know about you, but I miss the days of being able to go out to dinner. I’m not a big drinker, but I do always like to order a cocktail or glass of wine when I do go out. One of my favorite drinks to order is a glass of red sangria. I’ve loved sangria ever since college when I traveled to Madrid.

Like a lot of moms, I’m extremely busy. I have two kids under 8, I work full-time at a University, and I also somehow manage to maintain nearly a full-time side-hustle as a blogger, while trying to also fit in family time and parenting duties.

Now that we’ve all been spending so much time at home, I bet you’re feeling a bit tired with most things at home. That’s why I’m sharing these 4 easy stay home self-care ideas so that you can feel more luxurious in your home.

The weather in LA lately has been quite warm. We were in the 80s the last week, so it’s definitely time to break out the spring and summer clothes. I love wearing maxi dresses because they are so easy to wear. They breathe and flow so well. I found this red floral print maxi for under $30, so I decided I wanted to share some of my favorite red floral maxi dresses with you.
