Two weeks ago I was assigned Mangia! For my Secret Recipe club assignment. I mentioned that a couple of things caught my eye. One in particular was Chelsy’s 3-Ingredient Coconut Body Scrub. I didn’t make it because I didn’t have coconut sugar and, well, it really isn’t a food recipe (even though it’s completely edible). […]
Some things have become a quest for me, perfect mac-n-cheese, the best pie crust and a buttery yet light biscuit. It seems that I goof around with recipes, tweaking them here and there hoping to hit that sweet spot of right ingredients and technique. By what I mean when I say technique is: can I […]
How did I get so lucky? I can’t believe that for the second time in my Secret Recipe Club that I’ve been assigned to Chelsy’s Blog Mangia! I had several recipes ‘secretly pinned’ to try, one of them was non-food but a 3-ingredient Coconut body scrub (first I need to find coconut sugar), and I […]

I’m back! Last week was a doozy for me, I put myself through hell and it ended up being for naught. I was having some serious life sucks feelings these past few days. To be respective of all parties concerned I won’t be sharing the details. But I’m not one to dwell on decisions made […]
Already I’m feeling like I’m starting the new year a bit disorganized, in the month of January I have two major life events happening, one of which I can’t speak freely about till it’s done and the other, well it’s either going to rock my world or destroy it, so I’m hanging on to that […]
Did Christmas really come and go that fast? Is the New Year so close to being around the corner? Of course it’s no surprise when Christmas rolls around and when the New Year begins and yet every year I feel like it sneaks up on me. I think it has to do with the end […]
