What We Are Making For Thanksgiving Dessert

November 25, 2019

Who else is pumped for Thanksgiving?! This is one of our favorite holidays, specifically because of the food. Since we are plant based, we thought we would share some desserts we are planning on making!

Before we get into the desserts, we wanted to share about this look first! You all know we love leopard, so we had to have this leopard poncho/cape! It is so cute and warm, and goes with everything! We are wearing it with these black suede boots and black hat from Sole Society. We love this look for date night, thanksgiving, or every day. Their boots and accessories are the best, and they really last so long.

For reference, we are wearing size 7 boots, size 00 jeans, and size xs in the tunic sweater. This black tote bag is such a good work bag, or every day bag. It really holds so much, and we have been using ours as a work bag.

PS- this tunic sweater is SO warm and cozy. Love it with some leggings as well!

We have a major sweet tooth, so we love making healthier desserts to enjoy!

We found a few options that we are deciding between, so see them below:

Pumpkin Pie Squares

These pumpkin pie squares look SO good and are made with very simple ingredients like oat flour, pumpkin, and dates.

Chocolate Mousse Pie

You all know we love chocolate, so we couldn’t resist this chocolate mousse! Our dad is a major chocolate fan, too, so we will definitely be making this one! We love that this one is made with things like oats, cacao, and cashews.

Six Things I am Thankful For This Year

November 21, 2019

With Thanksgiving only ONE WEEK away, I thought I would share some things I am thankful for this year, since it is always good to remind yourself to be grateful, and why not share it with you all!

First off, this month is totally flying by, which is crazy. It was just Halloween, right? Before I get into what I am grateful for, I wanted to share this perfect Thanksgiving outfit idea with you all from Express. This cable knit tunic sweater is one I had from last year that I loved SO much that I got it again this year in a different color. I am wearing it with these faux leather leggings that can be worn with so many things. I have size xs in both for reference! *PS- Use code 8144 for $25 Off $100 in-store and online*

There are so many things I am grateful for, but here are some of my top ones:

Having the best family in the world

I have always been close with my parents and Samantha, but each year I get older I really realize how important family is. There is nothing like family to lean on, to share with, to be vulnerable with, and to look up to. I wouldn’t be who I am without them, and I am grateful for them every day, and Lucy, too!

Getting to wake up and do what I love every day

Some days, I still can’t believe that this is my job! I get to wake up and do what I love every day. My favorite part of my job is getting to interact with you all day. No matter how stressed or overwhelmed I feel with my job, I always feel so blessed that this is my life.

Having my health back

You all know that I had a few health issues, a little while ago, so I am so grateful and thankful that I feel so much better now, and have energy to workout, to work, and to feel my best. Once you lose feeling “normal”, you really learn to appreciate feeling well. Always a good reminder to take care of yourself.

Being single and getting to grow as an individual

As much as I hate being single, it really has allowed me to really focus on ME: To learn who I am, what I want in life, and who I want to be. It is not always easy, trust me I have my moments, but I am grateful for this season of embracing the unknown, and looking forward for whatever the future brings.

Forming so many great friendships

Because I have been single, and Samantha isn’t, it has forced me to make newer friendships and continue building the ones I already had. Since I have more free time, it has been great because I have built some great friendships and memories.

Things not working out

This is not an easy pill to swallow at times, but really, things happen for a reason, especially things that don’t go the way you “planned”. I am a planner, so I plan things out in my head, but usually, it is never the way I think it will go. It ends up always working out, just differently, and usually for the better!

So many things this year didn’t go the way I “wanted” them to, but they ended up being so much better this way, and I know there are more great things ahead!

Thank you all for following me on my journey through life, and I love hearing about yours, too!

What To Travel In For Thanksgiving

November 8, 2018

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and we CANNOT wait! It is one of our favorite holidays, mainly because of the food, but also it is a time when family and friends are all together, which we love! That also means all of us will be traveling a lot, whether it is by car or plane, and you’re going to need something comfy (and cute) to travel in! We wanted to share some ideas and tips with y’all, so today, we are teaming up with Nordstrom to give you all some easy outfits! In case you missed our Thanksgiving outfit ideas, you can check those out here.When we are looking for something comfy and cute to travel in, we always go for some kind of legging because they feel like the closest thing to pajamas, and they are stretchy! This pair of moto leggings from Nordstrom is a great option because they aren’t just a flat, boring legging, and the grey goes with everything. They also come in an olive color, which we have, too! We got a size xxs in these (they run a little large!)

You could also opt for a jogger type of pant that will also be comfortable, but stylish like the pairs here.To pair with the leggings, we like a breathable, looser top like this ribbed cardigan/tee. It is SOOOO soft and warm, and you could always layer a hoodie or sweatshirt like these on top if you get cold. As for shoes, we usually opt for some ankle booties like this pair that are comfortable and keep your feet warm. They are easy to get on and off through security, etc, too. We always wear this pair of socks with them! You could also do a slip on sneaker like some of these.

For weekend or shorter trips, we suggest a weekender bag like this one that is vegan and hold so much! It is also durable, and looks so cute on. It also makes a good gift for the holidays.
