I had no idea how incredibly easy it is to make bread at home. You don’t need a bread maker, any hard to find ingredients, or sophisticated kneading skills. All it takes is 4 ingredients and a dutch oven to make fresh, delicious, crusty bread that you won’t be able to stop eating.

Tips + What to Pack for a Beach Picnic
We’ve been talking since winter about going on a picnic at the beach the first chance we get this summer, so I’ve been bursting with much anticipation for what might be my favorite summer tradition of them all. I love a beach day on its own, but bring your favorite foods and people and it becomes a breezy celebration at one of the most beautiful free venues there is. The beach takes care of the scenery, and all we need to do is pack the right things and keep it simple for the best time possible. Partnering with my friends at Uber to share my tips for throwing a beach picnic, using Uber to enjoy the ride and have peace of mind utilizing their new safety features. Read More

Admittedly summer is not my favorite season. In comparison to fall and winter holding the best holidays and spring gifting me with my favorite weather, summer doesn’t receive the most excitement probably because I dread living through the heat with AC units that cool only parts of our home. This is not to say that I dislike summer either! Summer brings longer days, more frequents trips to the beach, outdoor movies, and barbecues, but despite all that fun I find my creativity tends to go through a lull during this time. I’m not sure why and wonder if this is common among others, but to get myself hyped for the season I compiled this mood board that’s part inspiration on colors, textures, and feels and part summer bucket list. What kind of things are you looking forward to this summer? Read More
