7 Products I Use to Reduce Waste

Life

I will be the first to admit that I am not the best at being “green”. I always forget my canvas bag when I go to the grocery store, I forget to unplug electronics, and honestly I could do a better job in conserving fuel. But I KNOW reducing waste is important and so I’m always trying to find easy…

Stuffed Peppers

Food

Howdy! It’s been a while since I shared a recipe with y’all, so I’m sharing one of my favorite weeknight meals– STUFFED PEPPERS! The filling is actually pretty similar to my crockpot mexican chicken and quinoa, sans enchilada sauce– but it’s cooked in the skillet, so you can pull it all together relatively quickly. I love cooked peppers, so filling…

Favorite Things: Vol. XXI

Favorite Things

Looking back, it’s been a few weeks since I published a Favorite Things post! Between our mini-trip to Charleston, school restarting, and other content I’ve been super inspired to write, this post kept getting pushed to the back-burner. But I’ve pulled it together now– yay! Enjoy, and have a very happy Friday! 1. Silk Scarves I’ve been reading a lot…

Amazon Haul: Vol. I

Amazon Hauls· Style

Alright, y’all know my love for Amazon by now. To my husband’s dismay, I buy a lot of clothes on Amazon, so I figured I might as well start sharing what I get (the good and the bad). Sunglasses I lost another pair of sunglasses so I was searching for a cute pair for cheap. I’m really happy with these!…

A Native’s Guide to a Vacay in Charlotte

Charlotte· Travel

I have lived in Charlotte since 2003 (besides moving away for 3 1/2 years for school), so I consider myself pretty much a native Charlottean (is that a thing?). Charlotte is one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S. and constantly has new breweries, activities, and restaurants opening. It really is such a beautiful town and a lot of…

24 Hours (roughly) in Charleston

Travel

OK, actually I’m pretty much on point with saying that we spent almost EXACTLY 24 hours in Charleston this past weekend. G and I both had work off for MLK day this year so we decided to get out of town! It was a last minute decision to do so, but we ended up only spending 24 hours because we…

5 Things Nursing School Won’t Teach You

Nursing

Being in nursing school is hard. But that’s because being a nurse is hard. But nursing school doesn’t teach you everything! Mostly because it’s impossible to cram everything you need to know in nursing school– but also because, you can’t teach certain skills in a classroom. These are 5 things that you won’t learn in nursing school that are vital…

My Favorite Non-Traditional Wedding Details

Life

G and I will have been married for two years in April this year (*cue the tears*) which is blowing my mind!!! Time has flown by so fast since that day, but I recently realized that I haven’t shared a whole lot of details from my wedding (other than my wedding registry faves lol). Our wedding felt like the most…

Favorite Breweries in CLT

Charlotte

Charlotte has a rapidly growing beer scene and tbh, G and I are not mad about it 🙂 We love craft beer and hearing people’s stories behind the beer that they have created. Plus, the vibe of breweries is so much more relaxed and chill than that of a bar– much more up our alley. It seems like there is…

Honest trial of the @kristinesshair gloss in the s Honest trial of the @kristinesshair gloss in the shade Bittersweet! I actually filmed this at the beginning of October and now I can say it has faded really nicely. This hair gloss gave my hair so much shine and toned it just a bit darker and cooler. I love the results! #hairgloss #athomebeauty #diyhair

Note: I did end up donating the formula elsewhere— I didn’t want to leave it outside because extreme temperatures can mess with the integrity of formula!

I took my toddler to the grocery store so we could pick out some shelf stable foods that are also good sources of protein. We made a couple of shelf stable birthday cake kits (everything included to make a cake!) and also donated a bunch of diapers that we no longer had use for! 
I really want to start doing this more often, because it caused my son to ask a lot of good questions and we were able to have a good talk about helping others ❤️
