✨THIS PASTA IS YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND ! ✨

Okay, first of all, YES, I put ALL of this on one plate! 😂 Not because I planned on eating it all, but because I wanted y’all to see just how much food you actually get with these egg-white vermicelli noodles! This is EASILY two meals. If you want to eat the whole thing in one sitting, GOOD L

✨MIRACLE PASTA DOES EXIST! ✨

Okay, I was seriously skeptical about trying these Miracle Noodle Egg White Vermicelli Noodles for the first time. 😂 45 calories, 10g of protein, and less than 1g of carbs for the ENTIRE bag! I wanted something quick and light, so here’s my incredibly complicated recipe: 🍗 Added some rotis

🇫🇷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

✨1ST TIME TRYING BO KHO✨

Vietnamese Beef Stew (Bò Kho) 🍜 I’ve been sick, and this is exactly the kind of meal I want: warm, light, and comforting. The broth is clear and delicious, with super-tender beef, carrots, onions, cilantro, green onions, and egg noodles. It’s a really generous bowl, too—one order usually gives m

🇫🇷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 5- WHAT I DID IN. PARIS (WHILE SICK)!

DAY 5 — PARIS 🇫🇷 Sick in Paris… but apparently still incapable of staying in bed. I woke up feeling absolutely horrible and officially canceled my day trip to Rouen. The reasonable thing would have been to stay in bed. Naturally, I did not do that. I headed out to explore some of the oldes

🇫🇷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

✨ DAY 3- WHAT WE DID IN PARIS & MONTMARTE 🇫🇷🇫🇷

I turned 50 in Paris with my daughter Reagan, and apparently my idea of celebrating is eating, walking across half the city, and taking approximately 900 pictures. We started at Holybelly with coffee and a proper breakfast: eggs, bacon, potatoes, bread, and a chicken-and-egg plate with tortillas

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

Day 2 was brought to you by poor planning, excessive confidence, and comfortable shoes that were NOT comfortable enough. We started the day in Brussels, ate, explored, saw some absolutely beautiful architecture and art, and somehow convinced ourselves that coming back to Paris and doing the Louv

✨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

🍂ALDI, EMBRACING THE PUMPKIN SPICE!🍂

I was literally walking through Aldi, saw these little Belgian Boys Pumpkin Spiced Pancakes and thought, how cute are these? So obviously I had to do something with them. This might be the easiest little fall breakfast ever. I popped the pancakes in the air fryer at 360° for 5 minutes. While

🍂 RICH CARAMEL BRONDE HAIR FOR FALL🍂

I’m heading to Paris Fashion Week, and after spending basically all my money on clothes, I really did not feel like dropping another $300 at the hair salon. 😂 So I decided to handle the color myself. I picked up Madison Reed Color Reviving Gloss in Honey Gold, but I was honestly skeptical becaus

✨BURGUNDY 💅 FOR PARIS FASHION WEEK✨

I’m going to Paris Fashion Week, so obviously the manicure required some thought. I wanted a deep burgundy that felt classic, polished and very fall in Paris—not too red, not too purple. I chose OPI Malaga Wine, and it is PERFECT. In bright light it reads as a rich wine red, but in lower light i

✨KNITS THAT WORK FOR EVERYDAY OFFICE WEAR✨

I ordered this short-sleeve knit sweater from Amazon and, truthfully, I didn’t have especially high expectations for a $19.99 sweater. I was blown away when it arrived. It’s incredibly well made with a substantial knit—not thin or flimsy at all—but somehow it isn’t hot. It’s super soft, has enou

✨THIS SANDWICH IS SOLID GOLD!✨

🍂FALL FOOD AT ITS FINEST🍂

If you’re looking for something super savory, rich and delicious for fall, this is an excellent sandwich. It has just enough sweetness from the figs and orange fig spread to balance all that buttery, melty brie without turning it into dessert. And holy hell, is it good. I started by melting s
