A huge part of my style in fashion, home decor, and even food is color. I am not one to paint all my walls beige or wear all gray & black. Adding bold color to your home (or even your outfit) can be very intimidating so it’s important to start small. Below are a few of my picks for accenting color in your home. From a simple candle to a bold accent chair, these items are very rational and delightfully bold.
Big breakfasts are one of my favorite things to do on a Saturday or Sunday morning, especially after a night out. Since I have been so busy lately on the weekends, I have not had time for making anything but toast or cereal in the morning. This weekend, however, I am going to use this go-to recipe. Last time I made these babies, they came out awesome. Very light, fluffy, and delicious. Oh & a few mimosas won’t hurt!
Ingredients
1. Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, vegetable oil and bananas.
2. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture; batter will be slightly lumpy.
3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides; serve hot.
It’s hard to find a yummy drink these days that are not filled with calories. A margarita or pina colada can be over 600 calories- Yikes! Since I love fruity cocktails, this berry drink is the perfect warm day-on-the-deck drink. 🙂
Ingredients:
1 SPLASH PINEAPPLE JUICE, 1 SHOT BERRY VODKA, 6 OZ CLUB SODA or SELTZER
Directions:
Pour the vodka over ice in a tumbler, add just a splash of juice, then top it off with seltzer. Add a few berries or a wedge of pineapple as garnish and you’ve got a deliciously unique drink with only 120 calories.

As a twenty-something newly married, working gal on-the-go, I wanted to make the most of our small space condo. I also wanted to make my space feel like home by customizing and decorating to my personal style. With a limited budget and some resourceful creativity, here is what we did to our place.
1. Bold master bedroom.
We were a little nervous at first but went for it. The color here is Benjamin Moore Miami Green. Comforter is Martha Stewart Shimmer collection. Oh, & Jingles made it into this picture, this is her fave room because we get a lot of sunlight here. 🙂
2. Beach themed bathroom.
Since beach-themed items are accessible and cheap free on the beach, it was the easiest decor to pull off in a bathroom. From real seashells to a bag of seaglass, these accents were very inexpensive & effortless.
White mirror- Homegoods, Corner shelves- IKEA,
3. Wine as Decor.
Both pretty & extrememly handy. Wall Wine racks- IKEA
4. Safari Living Room.
Why not use animal print for pillow couches? With a little real photography from a family member in Africa and some bold prints, we were able to pull of a chic looking space for our living room.
