Halloween Orange Cupcakes
When Kristofer told me his coworkers were going to bring in food on Halloween, I started ranting about how we weren’t going to bring in another dessert, but would instead make a savory dish for everyone to enjoy! …then the deadline started creeping up on me, and I realized that I needed to use my Halloween…

DIY Spray Painted Bronze Headband
Our last 14 for the 14th is a super easy DIY project! This bronze headband was made with some left over spray paint and an inexpensive headband I fell in love with at Claire’s. It’s just, once I put it on, it blended in with my hair too much! So I decided it needed a…

Red & Gold Heart Nails
Nails, nails, nails! Would you believe I actually haven’t done mine in like — a whole week?? I know, what! These fabulous heart nails were probably my favorite of the 14 for the 14th series, just because they are super easy. And also I love bright red nails. This probably has something to do with my mother never…

Raspberry Pink Lemonade
Today’s 14 for the 14th is a variation on an old homemade lemonade recipe I had. It’s pink lemonade though! Which is my favorite, because it’s not done with any kind of dye, it’s naturally a bright, bold color because of the infused raspberries. And honestly I love it. I may be biased though, because…

3 Minute All-Day Hair Twist
I’m not sure why I enjoy doing hair tutorials so much. I have to be honest, I don’t actually bother to do my hair that often. I think it might just be my purple walls. Taking photos in front of them is fun! They sure are cute, huh? In fact, this is a different wall than…

Cute Little Apple Pie Rose Bites
Have we started noticing my trend, that I think Valentine’s day is really just about me? I mean, Kristofer’s great and all. But holidays are just excuses for him to be sweet to me, and me to be sweeter to me. Right? Since I love apple pie, making a bite-sized apple pie rose seems like an obvious…

Black & Pink Pre-prepped Nails: DIY Adhesive Nail Design
It’s no secret that I love to paint my nails. I had to stop posting them on instagram, because my friends just don’t care that much. So no wonder I think Valentine’s day is a great excuse to do them some more! This was even easier, because I made some simple DIY adhesive nail designs while I…

Red Velvet Raspberry Filled Cupcakes
I am especially pleased with myself for today’s 14 for the 14th: delicious raspberry filled cupcakes given that extra love with a red velvet color. Yes, I slaved away over these in the kitchen. No, they aren’t actually all that hard. Especially when I give you the best time-saving instructions ever. My trial and error is…

Keeping it casual Valentine’s Day outfit
Here’s another fashion post, with a more casual Valentine’s Day outfit. Combine a fun red shirt with some winter-white corduroys and pull back the top half of your hair, teasing it just a little. Give yourself a break and look I-didn’t-try-all-that-hard-but-I-am-still-messily-adorable next Friday. I’m wearing white corduroys from Gap and a 70% off red ruffle shirt from Banana…

Recipe: Cheesy Risotto for Two
The first time I ever tried risotto was in Ireland, when I went to see Giant’s Causeway! Um, YUM. I ordered it again and again during my time abroad, even suffering through some really strong mushrooms in Paris. So here’s a date night suggestion: cheesy risotto for two. Ingredients 1 tbs olive oil 1 medium chopped…

Getting Fancy with Beaded Caviar Nails
To create this beaded caviar nails effect for our 14 for the 14th, you can buy the original from Sephora, get a small kit from another nail brand, or be frugal like me, and just head to your local craft store and buy some micro-beads – it may not cost you any less, but you’re…
