  • P is for Plated

    We tried Plated and it seems our favorite meal delivery subscription has some stiff competition. To be completely honest, we tried Plated last year, but are just getting around to raving about them. Yes, it’s one of those… so you can stop reading now and order a box to try out for yourself. Why I…

  • Creamy Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons

    So one of the things I’ve always wanted to make is soup. It’s starting to get cold and nothing fills and warms you up better than a hearty veggie soup. As I’ve never made one from scratch, it seemed tomato soup would be the easiest. Also, I don’t really know the difference between a food…

  • Is Green Chef worth all the hype?

    Since I’ve been doing these do-it-yourself stories, my apathy towards purchasing items from a store or online, has converted to wanting to at least attempt a recreation.

The gravy was on point, their moonshine strong, and those biscuits were flakey and buttery. It really did make me miss everything warm…

  • Making Ice Cream and Sorbet

    Recently, I went to an event hosted by ALOHA. Their focus is to make healthy food easy by providing powders, teas, bars, sweeteners, and so much more, that can be mixed in with your favorite dishes. Some of my favorite desserts come in the more frozen variety, but they always leave me bloated and unsatisfied;…

  • Applying False Lashes

    Here I attempt to apply false lashes by following video instructions from Kait Nichole, Hollie Wakeham, and Huda Beauty. I’m always astonished by the talent of women who make the most seemingly difficult task seem like second nature; this time is definitely no different. There is a moment of random voice over as I wind…
