Hey friends! I'm feeling pretty swamped with schoolwork lately, so I'll go ahead and apologize for how infrequently I might stop in these next couple of weeks. I promise I'll be back to stay eventually, and I'll try to at least share some fun links with you guys every other day or so (if I have time for little else). Speaking of links, here are a few: 5 Things to Give Up During Lent to Improve Your Health-Meat, excessive sitting, cigarettes, fast food, and oversleeping are bad for you?

Link to Homemade Toothpaste, Love It or Leave It?

I recently read an article that put 5 Homemade Toothpaste Recipes to the test, and the author seemed to hate each and every concoction for one reason or another. I'm not sure I even gained any valuable information from the article, but it did leave me with the following questions: Does anyone like homemade toothpaste? Are there any recipes that aren't too salty, harsh, and/or nasty? Should we, as adults, sacrifice taste for performance? All the homemade toothpastes I've tried in the past don't freshen my breath as...

Link to Foody Friday: These Three Teas

I've made a habit of mixing teas lately. Below are three I've been enjoying both by themselves and all together.

The Get Smart Tea that Christina got me for my birthday is my absolute favorite way to begin my morning. I've been filling up my tumbler with this stuff and taking it to school with me each day, and I love that the flavor reminds me a little of ginger ale. It's also nice with a little green tea (if I'm feeling particularly sleepy)...

Link to Foody Friday: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner & Dessert

Below are the highlights of my week in the categories of breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert (respectively).   Fyi, the toast ideas weren't entirely mine. I was inspired by a toast post I saw over at A Cozy Kitchen, which happens to be the only food blog I frequently read. I swapped the ricotta for chevre on the avocado toast and the almond butter for the dark chocolate version on the strawberry toast. I also snapped a few Instagram pictures at the Farmer's Market this week, but I really should've taken more. There were so many colorful fruits and...

For me, one of the best parts of vacationing is being able to eat delicious food nonstop without feeling the usual amount of guilt. My vacation mode internal dialogue- "Two pieces of pie and a cookie for dessert? Well, I am on vacation. Why not? And maybe I should wash it down with a tub of melted butter... " Below are some of the tastiest dishes and treats I've been allowing myself to enjoy this week.
