With Halloween fast approaching, many of us are preparing to host friends or attend parties of gatherings of our friends. Of course, we want to impress our guests and not show up empty handed to others, so today I’ll be sharing some cute and easy halloween theme treats you can whip up in minutes!

What Will We Be Making?

For the sake of efficiency and not making it too difficult, I’m going to share 2 different treats you can make. One is a spiderweb pretzel and the other is a ghost strawberry. Both are super quick and easy to make and can be customized or changed however you prefer!

What Do I Need?

• 1 bag of pretzel sticks
• Strawberries (organic if you can)
• 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips or melts
• 1 cup of white chocolate chips or melts
• 2tbsp of coconut oil
• parchment paper
• toothpicks
• piping bag or ziplock bag

Strawberry Ghosts

To begin with, lay out your parchment paper on a baking tray or cutting board and wash your strawberries. As you leave your strawberries to dry, add in a cup or more of your white chocolate chips or melts to a bowl with a tablespoon of coconut oil and melt it in the microwave in 30 second intervals for about 2 and a half minutes, stirring between each interval. Then, dip a spoon into the chocolate mixture and make a streak on the parchment that resembles a ghost tail. All that’s left is to stick a toothpick in the strawberries, dip them in the white chocolate, and place on top of the previous smear to dry. This way it’ll stick onto it and form the tail. Simple melt some regular chocolate in the same way to add dots for eyes and a mouth and you’re done!

Pretzel Spiderwebs

Align your pretzel sticks on a parchment sheet of paper so there are 8 of them in the shape of a spiderweb for one single web. Then melt your cup of semi-sweet chocolate with a tablespoon of coconut oil by microwaving in thirty second increments, mixing in between, for 2 and a half minutes. Once melted, spoon it into a piping bag with a thin tip. If you don’t have a piping bag, let the chocolate cool slightly and pour it into a ziplock bag, cutting the tip to use. All that’s left is to circle around the pretzels with the chocolate to attach them together, starting from the center and reaching out only until 3/4 of the pretzel. Then you’re done!

Whether you are hosting a party or attending, try out these simple treats that will be a crowd hit because of how adorable they look and how great they taste!

With halloween approaching and many of us being so busy, it is hard to find a halloween costume that is quick, efficient, and not pricey. We still want to look cute and participate in the halloween tradition, but we also want to ensure its not just a one-time wear. Today, I’ll be sharing a very quick and easy costume you can pull together in minutes.

What is it?

It is a theme that is very in style right now with clothing especially, you guessed it, cheetah/leopard Print! In a matter of moments, you can put together the most adorable cheetah/leopard costume and attend your halloween party or go trick-or-treating feeling good.

How do I Pull it Together?

Wear your simple animal print t-shirt or top with a pair of matching or black pants. Then get ready for the fun part, the makeup.

Starting with the forehead and cheekbones, I’d do some heavy contouring and bronzing to bring in that feline look. Then, use some eyeshadow and your fingers or a brush to apply medium sized irregular dots across the sides of your forehead and cheekbones. Using your eyeliner, make two half circle type of shapes on the perimeter of the circle to get that cheetah/jaguar print look. For an added sense of spice, do a cute eyeliner on the eyes, starting all the way from the inner corner until the outer. I would also put on some mascara, focusing the majority on the outsides of the eyes to get that cat eye look. Finally, use either some black shadow or eyeliner on your nose and eyes. On the nose, shape out half the tip to shade in with the black color. Then, connect it down the cupids bow down to the lip where you can outline your top lip in black.

For the hair, if you have naturally curly hair, I would leave it down and curly. The wilder it is, the better. The next option could work for all hair types, whether curly, straight, or wavy. It is to make cat ears out of your hair on your head. I’ll attach a video below on how to do this, but essentially, all you need are a few of the small, elastic hair-ties. Simply braid two pieces of hair on the middle of your scalp on each side, then secure the top braid to the bottom in a triangle shape using another hair tie.

Final Thoughts

This is an adorable look/costume that can be made to look more spicy depending on what it is that you are doing. It is super time efficient and won’t have you spending large sum of your paycheck on a one time wear. It can also be easily adjusted to any other animal print you may have in your closet. If you try this out, please let me know in the comments and send in a picture!

We all love being engulfed by a delicious scent when we enter a space, especially if we feel our tension melt as we continue to stay. Today, I’m going to be sharing just the product that can help you achieve that, whether for yourself or for another as a gift.

Creating a Calm, Inviting Space

The best tool for creating a calm and inviting space is none other than an aromatic diffuser, preferably oil. This diffuser specifically uses essential oils of jasmine and lily to help create a soothing atmosphere that’s ideal for entertaining guests or relaxing after a hard day. Because of its soft but long lasting scent, it ensures that headaches and migraines with this fragrance is not an issue. Instead, you will likely feel yourself relaxing the more you are surrounding by it.

How to Maximize the Lifespan of Your Reed Diffuser

The best thing about reed diffusers is that they don’t require any care and can emit a constant scent for several months. Place your diffuser in an area with a relatively good amount of air movement to get the most out of it. For a stronger aroma, flip the rattan sticks every few days. By preventing light exposure, the amber glass vase helps maintain the essential oils and prolongs the scent’s freshness.

Thoughtful Gift Idea for Any Occasion

Reed diffusers are a wonderful option if you’re searching for a straightforward yet heartfelt present. This diffuser can be given as a considerate gift basket filler or used as a housewarming present because it brings style and calmness to any kind of household. Its elegant, minimalistic design and amber glass jar ensure that it blends in perfectly with any decor, and the relaxing aroma makes for a memorable experience. It is also a huge plus that it is unisex, being as anyone would enjoy such a gift without you having to worry.

Final Thoughts

Buying a reed diffuser is an investment into your life, bringing style, cleanliness, and a sense of calmness to your life. With so many different scents to choose from and so many varying styles, it makes for the perfect gift for yourself or others!

We’ve all been seeing older trends come back to life, some great, and some not so much. Today we’ll be talking about an accessory trend in particular that is both chic and edgy in all the best ways and will help to elevate your looks. The upper arm cuffs!

The History

For generations, accessories have carried great cultural and personal significance, making them more than just an afterthought in the world of fashion. Bold accessories were fashionable in ancient civilizations like Egypt and Greece where they represented protection, power, and status. Particularly, arm accessories were popular. The use of eye-catching accessories has changed in the modern day, but the main idea has not changed: a statement piece can reveal a lot about a person’s style and personality.

How to Style

The ease with which this accessory can be styled is what makes it so beautiful. Wear it with an off-the-shoulder top or a flowing sundress for a carefree midday style that accentuates your arm’s natural curve. To create a contrast between the textures and shapes, it can also be worn over long sleeves. Choose a sleek metal design that goes well with an attractive gown or cocktail dress for a more put together evening appearance. The secret is to let the statement piece take center stage without overpowering the overall ensemble by striking a balance between its boldness and the simplicity of your outfit. You could even add it to a mini skirt and tank top outfit to give it that boost that elevates it to the next level.

Most Importantly

The secret to styling any accessory, no matter how trendy, is confidence. The purpose of this statement piece is to draw attention and elevate your style, so it might feel like a statement the first time you wear it. You’re not just accessorizing when you embrace its individuality and allow it to become a part of your own style statement. Fashion is about expressing who you are, having fun, and taking chances. So, flaunt it, try out various styles, and allow it to give you more self-assurance each time you go out.

Final Thoughts

Upper arm cuffs are a unique and stylish way to boost confidence and make a styling statement. Head over to sites like Amazon or Etsy and order yourself an arm cuff that matches your personality and get ready to receive so many compliments.

If you’re like me at all, you enjoy having a sweet treat every day to compliment your meal. Unfortunately, we often refrain from it due to health concerns. Today, I’m going to be sharing a sweet treat you can make that’s both delicious and incredibly nutritious!

What is it?

It is a cottage cheese spread that you can use either as a dip, or as a topping on top of toast. Either way, it’s delicious!

Why?

Cottage cheese and honey, the two main ingredients for this spread, are both incredibly nutritious while also tasting delicious. Just a few of their benefits are:

Cottage Cheese: 1) an excellent source of protein, particularly casein, a slow-digesting protein that helps with muscle repair and provides sustained energy 2) contains important nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, selenium, and B vitamins (such as B12 and riboflavin), which support bone health, metabolism, and overall bodily function 3)if it’s made with live active cultures, can promote gut health by supporting the balance of healthy gut bacteria.

Honey: provides antioxidants like flavonoids and phenolic acids, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, reducing the risk of chronic diseases 2) prebiotic properties, helping to nourish beneficial bacteria in the digestive system and improving digestion and gut health 3) anti-inflammatory properties can support overall wellness, including bone health

When combined together: the protein from cottage cheese with the natural sugars from honey creates a snack that offers both quick and sustained energy. The protein slows the absorption of the sugars, preventing a rapid spike in blood sugar levels

How Do I Make and Use it?

1. In a small bowl, add 2tbsp of cottage cheese and about 3/4tbsp of sour-cream (your measurements don’t have to be exact). Combine the two with a spoon simply by mixing. The sour-scream is just there for texture, so adjust to your liking.
2. Add in your 1tbsp of raw honey (you can adjust the sweetness to your liking), preferably without clumps, and mix together again with a spoon.
3. You’re done! It’s that simple and that delicious. You can use it as a dip for sliced fruit or you can use it on top of some toast for a delicious bite. I also like to drop in some blueberries right into the bowl and eat it by the spoonful. Experiment to your heart’s desire! Also, to make a larger portion, simple double, triple, etc. all of the original measurements of each ingredient!

Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy snack that is so so delicious but also so so good for you. If you try it out, let me know how you liked it and how you experimented with it!

A Brief History

Since ancient times, black nail polish has been a part of fashion and society. With the emergence of the punk and goth subcultures in the 1970s and 1980s, it became even more popular in the modern era, often representing nonconformity and defiance. From celebrities to high fashion designers, black nail polish has transcended its stereotypical associations and gained mainstream acceptance over time. Black nails have stayed popular despite shifting fashion trends, which shows how timeless and classic they are.

Versatility

Black nail polish’s adaptability is one of the main reasons it endures over time. There are endless ways to style it, depending on whether you want to go for an elegant, bohemian, or edgy appearance. The variety of textures provides even more play and fun, with glossy and matte finishes available. Whether you’re in casual streetwear or dressing up for a formal event, black always goes great with everything. Its versatility ensures that it will always be relevant.

Black as Neutral

Despite being frequently linked to rebellious and fearless design, black nail polish has transformed into a versatile neutral that enhances nearly every look. Kind of like a little black dress, black nails are classy and universally flattering. Black is still the go-to color since it can be both subtle and striking, unlike other colors that come and go in style. If you can resist the conventional belief that it is “too dark” for daily wear, you can instead recognize it as a timeless neutral that works for any setting. Simply dress it up or down with different varieties of jewelry, and you’ve got a piece that can be a classic or a statement.

A Statement of Confidence

Wearing black nail paint gives off a certain amount of energy and confidence. It’s more than just a color choice; it’s a show of independence and is frequently connected to people who don’t mind pushing limits. Black continues to feel bold and contemporary despite its lengthy history, making it appealing to people who wish to show their individuality through something as simple as nail polish. Black nails are always striking, whether worn plain or with rings of different textures and colors. It is simply ageless and powerful because it exudes confidence, strength, and elegance regardless of fashion.

Final Thoughts

Step out of your comfort zone and grab yourself a black polish, you won’t regret it 🙂

We all love to grab a snack to keep ourselves occupied or help suppress our hunger until the next meal. Many of these snacks, however, prove to be terrible for our health and bodies. Today I will be sharing a delicious snack that will help you stay mindful while also enjoying yourself.

Why?

The Lesser Evil popcorn is one of the very few snacks that does not contain harmful ingredients that irritate the gut. To list a few of the bonuses, it is:

-NonGMO certified

-Organic

-Vegan

-Minimally processed

-Sustainably packaged

-Made with coconut oil

-Salted with Himalayan Salt

Explain?

The popcorn has several benefits many of us are already familiar with; being non-gmo, organic, vegan, and minimally processed. I believe the biggest bonus is what most people would not realize. By being made with coconut oil, it is ensured that this product will not irritate the gut and cause health issues that many other heavy-duty oils cause. Usually, brands use the cheapest oils like canola and seed oils which have several adverse effects on our health. By swapping that out for a safer oil, a huge deed is done for the body. There are also so many different flavors, even some holiday ones such as pumpkin spice, which makes snacking all the more fun. Lastly, TW for calories, it does help that it is only 40 calories per cup, making for a high volume and low calorie snack.

Final Thoughts

It can be so hard to find snacks that are good for you while also being tasty, but Lesser Evil popcorn and their other snacks make it all the easier for us. If you want a healthier alternative to many of your favorite snacks, Lesser Evil is the one for you.

What are the Benefits?

There are several, but here’s three big ones:

Oil Free: this moisturizer is oil free, meaning it won’t cause you to wake up to a break-out if you have oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin like I do. It also means that this moisturizer is quite lightweight and seeps into the skin quickly, giving beautifully plump skin.

Gentle Hydration: this product contains niacinamide that calms the skin and gives a boost of hydration that does not irritate it. It also has hyaluronic acid that helps lock that moisturize in all night long.

3 Essential Ceramides: the three essential ceramides ( 1, 3, 6-ll) are all included in this moisturizer to help restore and maintain the skin’s natural barrier. Ceramides are also found naturally in the skin and make up about 50% of the lipids in the skin barrier, so this product works to enhance that further.

Final Thoughts?

An important part of waking up to skin that is ready for the day, whether it be bare face or ready for makeup, is a nighttime moisturizer. This moisturizer has ingredients that your skin will love and results your eyes will notice, so do yourself a favor and go grab the CeraVe PM Moisturizer.

Working out isn’t always our favorite thing to do, but when you look good, you feel good. Finding the perfect workout top that both stylish, and easy to move in is no easy feat, but I have found just the top for you!

What is it?

I personally always wear a sports bra when working out, as do most of us, but I do find that I like having a top to cover up or prevent spillage while I move. This top does just that. I found this top on Amazon and it is called the Mippo Womens Workout Top. Now, they have a variety of different tops, but my favorite is the long-sleeve, open back one.

What are the Pros?

Efficiency: this top is really great for working out as it covers all the areas you’d like it to, but also shows off others. It is super lightweight so moving in it is no issue. The thumb holes are also very comfortable if you have hyper-hydrosis like I do and struggle in exercising with sweaty palms as this will help curb it.

Breathability: because of its open back style, this top is super great for exercise and making sure you don’t overheat. Exercising in the winter can be tricky as you don’t want to get cold, but you also don’t want to overheat. The material and style of this top makes sure you get the best of both worlds.

Style: this top is so unbelievably chic. The open back adds such a nice look, especially if your sports bra has a cool design in the back. It shows off the back while keeping your front covered, which really gives that elegant but toned and fit look to you. Also, by looking good, we also tend to perform well.
