I’ve been wanting to post this DIY project for the longest time! Last fall my husband decided our bathroom needed some work so he tiled the floor, changed the paint color of the walls, and added some new bathroom accessories. Needless to say, everything turned out beautifully, but the mirror door to the medicine cabinet […]

For this juice recipe I used 4 ingredients that I pretty much always have on hand. Before I started juicing I never bought kale, but now I’m proud to say that it’s a staple in my house. This juice is definitely on the sour side so if you prefer sweeter drinks I would add some […]

I’ve never been much of a writer. I’m such an emotional and talkative person but when it comes to writing my thoughts down they just don’t come out the same as when I talk. I really want to make an effort to write more so that Emma has these posts to look back on when […]

For the last year I’ve been obsessed with buying vintage clothing. I love the fit, the fact that I am shopping consciously, and that I have unique pieces that I can pass down to Emma. I feel like there is a story to tell with every vintage piece I buy, even if it is just […]

These adorable gift bags are perfect for party favors! I made these for my sister’s vintage inspired bridal shower and we used them as favor bags at the dessert table and candy bar she had set up for her guests. Every little detail makes a difference at parties, but the more detail the higher the […]

  Couscous should be a staple in your home because of the simple fact that it takes less than five minutes to make! It’s basically granules of semolina made from durum wheat, which is what pasta is made from. See where this is going? If you like the taste of pasta, you’ll like the taste […]

You know how we all want someone to take care of us and bring us noodle soup when we’re sick? Well this recipe is so basic and easy that you won’t need to have anyone bring you soup, you’ll just make it for yourself! Ingredients 2 carrots 2 sticks of celery 3-4 teaspoons Vegeta seasoning […]

I love scones because the batter doesn’t contain very much sugar, which means if you add white chocolate chips, a cinnamon sugar coating, and butterscotch drizzle on top, you won’t feel so bad! And there you have it. These delicious apple cinnamon scones have ground up apple chips inside, white chocolate chips throughout, a cinnamon […]

It’s been about two months that I’ve been juicing everyday and I absolutely love it. Back in August, my coworker told me to watch a documentary on Netflix called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead (which I highly recommend) and after that I was sold on juicing as part of my everyday routine. I did some […]

This is the easiest sandwich to put together so I feel bad even calling it a recipe. Cream cheese and chives compliment smoked salmon so beautifully! I purchased my salmon from Sprouts Farmers Market and they never disappoint. Ingredients: Toasted bread (I used Shepherd’s Bread) Whipped cream cheese Alaskan smoked salmon Chives Lemon

It’s been three weeks since we moved into our new home in Fort Collins, and we couldn’t be happier! Although moving, packing, and unpacking are always stressful, the joys of discovering a new city outweighs all of the headaches. The first time we explored Horsetooth Reservoir was a little over a year ago when I […]

Every year when Spring arrives I crave salads! For the most part I crave salads that I grew up eating in Romania. My family would always serve a tomato and feta salad at the table or a fresh red cabbage salad. Just thinking about it brings back memories of summers at the dinner table outside in my […]

  I’ve been making breakfast smoothies for so many years, the only thing that’s changed is that I was making them with whey protein in the past. I have nothing against whey protein and I know a lot of people love it for the extra protein in their diet, but most of the time it […]
