Fajita Popcorn

During university, I perfected the art of making fajitas. I would caramelize those onions till they were good and reduced and then marry them with red peppers, chicken and my homemade fajita seasoning. Top that all off with some grated cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream and I was in heaven. I still get a little ...

DIY Candle Jar Storage

A while back, I remember seeing a tutorial for how to get that last remaining bit of wax out of an old candle jar. The idea was to get the wax out in order to be able to use the jar for another purpose. I believe at first I just pinned the idea and forgot about it for a long time. As someone who loves candles (and used to ...

Nom Nom Chocolate Fudge Brownies

As a farewell to my month of freedom from work, I made these brownies yesterday for my boyfriend and myself. I wanted a really fudge chocolatey brownie with a perfectly crunchy top, and that is exactly what I got. When I first took them out of the oven, I thought that they were way too thin.

That's not to say that my cat doesn't have any real toys, it's just that I prefer to make them for ...

The Ultimate Italian Green Beans

I know, I know, who cares about green beans? You. That's who. At least you should.

I first ate these beans back in Italy at my Zia and Zio's house, and I think as a family, we have ...

TBT - Italy | Rome

A couple days ago, I posted my DIY Travel Keepsake Boxes filled with mementos from my trip to Europe. This is the trip that inspired those boxes. I often look back on these photos and wish I was still back in Europe, specifically Italy. There's just so much culture and history everywhere you look. I don't know if it was ...

Watercolour Perfume Bottle Paintings

I love love love watercolours lately! So, since I've had time off, I've been able to experiment with a bunch of different images to paint. I did a couple makeup images for a friend a while ago, which inspired me to look into beauty inspiration for my watercolours. I think when you mix makeup, perfume or images of women with ...
