Things I Don’t Really Buy

Happy New Year. I’m starting the year with a review of things I have successfully changed over the past few years that have grown into consistent habits. I really do not even think about these things as conscious daily decisions because I am just used to not doing them. I love these habits because it makes me a more mindful…

All the best things. Almost Burlington, VT? Spotify’s wrapped end of year music review showing your top artists, songs and now which city you vibe with the most is a good starting point for a year end summary. I did not land in Burlington, VT, as seemed to be the most popular, but rather,randomly, Vancouver. I’m so close, yet so…

Barça

April in Barcelona. This was a pleasant surprise of a trip. We did not have any plans to visit Spain, but my mom and aunt were planning a month long trip and offered all the kids free lodging if we met them out there. They visited several cities along their journey, and we opted to meet them in Barcelona. It…

It was very convenient and easy to warm it up for a quick snack. Back in the day, I loved watching the Food Network, and I remember watching an episode where they recommended covering…

Weddings, children, graduations or buying a new house are all grand celebratory moments in life. But these events are one time events, or maybe even things you are not interested in, causing long lapses between the high moments. But,…

Wedding!

Yay, I got married. Planning a wedding was so fun, exciting and expensive. Probably three expected words, but the surprise is probably that it wasn’t stressful. I really wanted my wedding day to be my vision, not what was expected of me. I am not necessarily a people pleaser, but it can still be difficult to feel confident in your…

Personal Style with Kibbe

Fashion, as I understood it, was about expressing your personal style in a way that flatters and likely alters the perception of your body. If you’re short, make the illusion of height. If you have narrow shoulders, make them larger. Combining tricks to create the illusion of an hourglass figure. Before shopping, I would find reference photos for inspo, and…

Weekend in Review

Happy April. Here’s a quick round up of some fun weekend activities. This focaccia, from Dessert Person, was the most beautiful loaf I have made, probably ever. It was a same day bake so I was nervous about how much flavor I could develop, but it was amazing. The King Arthur dough enhancer along with their 10 grain flour blend…
