Fall nails are my fave 🍂

I wanted something a little different for fall. Not quite burgundy, not quite chocolate brown, but somewhere between cinnamon, chestnut, and a deep autumn red. I went with Royal Nail Art Thu Collection, Shade 144, and I absolutely love how it turned out! Depending on the lighting, it shifts f

THESE FAJITAS ARE MADE WITH LOVE. ❤️🤍💚

Pechuga Chicken Fajitas Juicy air-fried chicken, caramelized onions, melted pepper jack cheese, fresh vegetables, and fire-toasted tortillas. The secret to this recipe is cooking the chicken in the air fryer first. It comes out perfectly juicy without drying out, and everything else comes tog

🇫🇷WHAT EVERYONE IN PARIS IS WEARING🇫🇷

I love finding affordable basics that look so much more expensive than they actually are! I picked up this 4/5-pack of MLYENX long-sleeve mock-neck bodysuits on Amazon for $35.99! That’s only about $7–$9 per bodysuit, depending on the pack size. The colors are perfect for fall, and they’re so

🇫🇷DAY 6- WHAT I DID IN STRASBOURG AND PARIS🇫🇷

This was honestly probably my favorite day of the entire trip, mostly because for once I wasn’t rushing from one thing to the next. I got to Strasbourg early and started with breakfast at Le Rive Gauche, a little corner café near the station. I ordered their classic breakfast — eggs, orange juic

🇫🇷DAY 4 PARIS- DID NOT GO AS PLANNED!🇫🇷

Day 4 was supposed to be a fairly easy Paris day. Paris had other ideas. We started with breakfast at Les Chenapans. Cute place, but honestly, breakfast just wasn’t very good. So afterward we stopped at Stohrer, the historic pâtisserie on Rue Montorgueil, and got croissants—which was a significa

WHAT WE DID DAY 2- Brussels 🇧🇪 & Paris 🇫🇷

✨THINGS TO DO IN PARIS- Day 1✨

I landed in Paris for my 50th birthday trip, met up with my daughter Reagan, and apparently decided airplane sleep was enough to power 16,000 steps in four hours. My taxi ran late, so I missed my Louvre admission. Annoying? Absolutely. But we still saw the Louvre from outside and spent the day e

✨MY FACE HAS A FAVORITE COLOR: BLACK HONEY✨

Black Honey came to Paris with me. Black eyeliner can drown out my brown eyes and make the whole look feel heavy. Brown—or this Black Honey shade—gives me definition while letting my eyes actually pop. For this look, I used Clinique eyeshadow and eyeliner, Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, and
