✨MY BEST FB MARKETPLACE FIND YET!✨

I found this pair of vintage lamps for $75, while comparable Murray Feiss pairs are currently listed elsewhere for as much as $725—but finding that kind of bargain took nearly a month of patience. I had been searching Facebook Marketplace for the right pair of lamps, waiting for something with c

✨TODAY WE LOST A TRUE AMERICAN ICON✨

The world lost one of its brightest lights today. Dolly Parton was more than a country music legend. She was a songwriter, storyteller, actress, businesswoman, philanthropist—and proof that a woman could be soft, funny, glamorous, brilliant and tough as hell all at once. Her songs became the

✨WH- I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY.✨

For years, I thought you were simply the place where whatever started at the bar continued after 2 a.m. Apparently, while I was judging you, you were quietly entering your wellness era. I ordered the Chicken Fiesta Protein Bowl expecting it to be one of those meals that’s only “good” because the

✨FAKE IT TIL YOU BAKE IT- APPLE PIE✨

With school starting and the holidays already creeping up, this is one shortcut worth saving. You can take an ordinary store-bought frozen apple pie and make it look—and taste—so much more homemade with nothing more than an egg and a little cinnamon. YOU’LL NEED • 1 frozen apple pie • 1 egg,

✨A LOCAL SPOT WE LOVE !

LOCAL FIND: MERIBO Meribo isn’t exactly a secret to Covington locals, but it still feels like a great little hidden spot. It’s tucked back at 326 N. Lee Lane near the Tammany Trace, so it can be easy to miss if you aren’t looking for it. We went for White Linen Night, and it was such a fun ev

✨TRYING MANTRA FOR THE 1ST TIME!✨

We went to Mantra around 3:00 on Sunday afternoon, so it wasn’t very busy—although it was also the day after White Linen Night, so I’m pretty sure half the Northshore was still hungover. Mantra is in the old Desi Vega’s Smokehouse Tavern location, in the same shopping center as Mandina’s and Onc

✨THE 15-MIN.ANSWER AFTER A BUSY DAY✨

Today was one of those nonstop, super-busy days. By the time I got home, I was hungry and wanted something healthy and quick—but I had absolutely no interest in turning dinner into a production. Fifteen minutes later, this was on the table. INGREDIENTS • 1 whole rotisserie chicken • 1 sma

✨LET’S ELEVATE THOSE EGGS!✨

Sundays are usually when I try to clean out my refrigerator, so I threw this Southwest Breakfast Toast together in about five minutes with ingredients I already had—and it turned out way too good not to share. Start with a thick slice of everything sourdough and add a tiny drizzle of olive oil.

I eat hard-boiled or soft-boiled eggs pretty much every single day, and after a lot of trial and error, I’ve finally got them down to a science. If you’re tired of shells that stick or overcooked yolks, this method has never let me down. My foolproof method: 🥚 Place your eggs in a pot and cov

$20 CHANGED MY ENTIRE DINING ROOM⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had friends coming over a few weeks ago, and I was rushing around trying to get the house ready. I grabbed this stone bowl, filled it with fruit, and called it a day. It worked… but if I’m honest, I never really loved it. It just didn’t fit the room or the color palette, and every time I walk

✨TRADITIONAL ITALIAN TIRAMISU✨

I woke up craving Italian today, but I wanted something light, creamy, and not overly sweet. Tiramisu checked every box. I’ve made tiramisu before, and this is the version I keep coming back to. There aren’t a ton of ingredients—just good ones—and it comes together so easily. Ingredients:
