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
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
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!

Amazon Haul: Vol. I
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).

24 Hours (roughly) in Charleston
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…

Being in nursing school is hard. But that’s because being a nurse is hard. But nursing school doesn’t teach you everything!

My Favorite Non-Traditional Wedding Details
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 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…
