Cranberry Orange Loaf
What better way to wrap up 2020 than with a loaf recipe. Loaves of all kinds (special shoutout to banana) have been the people’s choice of homemade baked goods of 2020. In fact, statistically speaking, my Earl Grey Yogurt Cake recipe was a huge hit when I published it in March 2020. As we enter…

On The Last Month of 2020
This morning, I flipped the last page of my 2020 calendar. I vividly remember buying this desk calendar last December. It was a little errand I managed to squeeze in between the Holiday shopping, the planning and the socializing ahead. I couldn’t wait to use this 2020 calendar – to flip over each month, revealing…

The healing touch of sky and water in November
It’s funny how things turn out sometimes. I was just telling my friend the other day that this week has felt so dreary. So unmotivating. So…depressing. Surely, this doesn’t sound like anything new for all of us living (read: surviving) in 2020. But for those of us residing in the Northern Hemisphere prone to the…

October Snapshots
October 2020. A bittersweet month. A milestone month. An unexpected month. A month when, a year ago, my best friend asked me to marry him. The month we were supposed to have our Fall wedding at a rustic restaurant physically surrounded by our close family and friends. Instead, it has become a month nearing the…

Mystical Unicorn Makeup and Costume
This Halloween was definitely a different one, but I personally think that was more of a reason to dress up and have fun, even if it’s just for a virtual Halloween party. This year, I dressed up as a unicorn. It was a fun, magical and easy to put together. There are many crafty ways…

September Snapshots
Does anyone else feel a shift during the month of September? To me, the shift feels deeply internal, almost like a cosmic pull. September is my birth month, so maybe that’s when Virgo energy is in full frequency as the sun and moon live in its constellation. Or maybe that’s just the magic of September.…

Taking The Summer Off
I have to say, this summer is one for the books. Truly one of the best. Certainly, the highlight of this summer was getting married and the enjoyment of planning our mini wedding. A “fun project”, as my Mom put it. And it’s true. I’ll always look back at planning our wedding as being a…

Preserving My Wedding Flowers
One hard truth about wedding expenses is that flowers add up more than you think they would. I learned that years ago when I worked in the wedding industry, and I was certainly reminded of that when planning our own mini wedding. I consider myself a Budget Bride (have you seen my DIY flower veil?)…

Wearing My Mom’s Wedding Dress
Like many brides planning their wedding in early 2020, I didn’t get too far with wedding dress shopping by the time lockdown happened. Like many around the world, we postponed our wedding, and dress shopping was put on hold indefinitely. That is until we eventually changed our minds, and decided to still get married this…
