Today I’m talking about my trip on the Disney Dream and answering the most popular question I always receive: What’s Included on a Disney Cruise?

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to go on a Disney Cruise Press Trip! I was my friend Jenny’s plus one and I am so lucky to have gotten the opportunity to experience all that Disney Cruise Line has to offer.

I’m taking a food break today to share some of my Winter Favorites!

So January was the longest month to ever happen, and February is definitely the shortest, both literally and figuratively. I’ve taken a break sharing my monthly favorites with you guys since November, mostly because I’ve been lazy about it, but also because I do share favorites every week in my newsletter! Do you subscribe? If not, you totally should.

I’m sharing my October Favorites with you today! This month I’ve got beauty and lifestyle favorites for you and not a ton of foodie stuff! My diet has consisted mostly of Halloween candy that I bought in advance, “so I was prepared”…which is really a thin veil for I bought candy ahead of time so I could eat it all month.

Please do NOT ask me how many Reese’s Pumpkins I consumed this month.

September went by in a flash and I am sharing all my September Favorites today. I’ve got some beauty, baking, reading, and lifestyle faves!

Well, September was a busy month. I feel like it’s the month that never happened, like it went by so fast I don’t even know!  I spent most of September chauffeuring my kids to and from activities. It’s literally a second full time job that starts at 3:00 pm, so I’ve had to make sure I get all my website work done early.

Better late than never! Coming at ya with everything that I loved in the month of August!

The last month of summer was a super busy month around here….I tell you, August has a way of doing that. You feel like you have ALL the time in the summer, then boom it’s August and you have to cram everything in quick!

We spent the first week of the month on an Alaskan cruise, which I will be posting all about soon, The rest of the month we were in full get ready for school prep, while cramming in beach days and trying to stay dry because it literally rained almost every single day here in NJ.

Continue reading August Favorites at Cookies and Cups.

Another July in the books! How could this possibly be true? The summer is in its final hurrah, and I’m ready for it! August is my BIRTHDAY month so bring it on!

This month I’ve been focused on vacation plans. We have a big one that we’re on right now…an Alaskan cruise and I can NOT wait to share all the details with you. We started planning it last October, so it’s been a long time coming.

Continue reading July Favorites at Cookies and Cups.

Here we are…June is just about over and July is right around the corner! I’m in full summer mode, which means I’m spending more time doing things than buying things, which is fine by me! This month’s list is a short one, but I am pretty sure there are some things you will love!

I feel like my wardrobe this month has been very VERY boring! I feel like I wear a version of either leggings and a t-shirt, or denim shorts and a t-shirt on constant repeat.

My Skin Care Routine is one of my most requested posts! Today I am sharing my everyday skincare ritual with high-end and drug store products, so there are options for every budget!

A lot of you follow along with me on Instagram, and you KNOW I love all things makeup/beauty related. It’s definitely a second passion behind baking and cooking, which is why I started doing monthly favorites. I asked you guys a while back if I should start another instagram page for lifestyle stuff, but overwhelmingly you said no to keep it all in one place.

Can you believe May is OVER? I did some damage this month shopping for clothes, and I’m including some of the best in my May Favorites this month!

It’s finally getting warm here in NJ. May is a tricky month here…it usually starts out chilly, and as the month goes on, it gets warmer. We’ll get a 90 degree day, then a 70 degree day, until June comes and it evens out a bit.

HEY!! Here we are, another month in the books! Today we’re talking about my April Favorites…things I was loving all through the month…AND a few things I did NOT love!

I don’t know about you, but April literally flew by. Every other month so far of 2018 has dragged on foreverrrr, but I feel like I blinked and April was over. WHICH is part of the reason it’s May 7th and I’m just not getting my favorites list up!

Attention makeup junkies! We’re taking a break from our regularly scheduled recipe today, and talking SEPHORA, my home away from home. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I regularly do make up hauls, purges, and reviews over there…anyhow Sephora does their VIB sale a few times a year, which is basically the only real store-wide sale they have…so it’s time to take advantage!

So many of you guys ask me makeup/skin care questions.

I’ve put together a list of everything I was loving in March that (mostly) didn’t have to do with food! If you follow me on my Instagram stories, or subscribe to my newsletter, you know that I am a shopper, a make up junkie, and the girl always on the search for the perfect pair of jeans (even when I think I’ve found them).

Let’s talk about some fun girlie stuff.

Continue reading March Favorites at Cookies and Cups.

February is over and I am READY for Spring. I mean, the temps are still pretty cold here in NJ, but March just feels like the light at the end of the winter tunnel.

I have some great things that I was (and still am)  LOVING this past month. I shared my January favorites HERE, and got a lot of great feedback from you guys! I’m already thinking about my March faves…and I one thing I am super excited about is my hunt for the PERFECT white tee.

Continue reading February Favorites at Cookies and Cups.

Hey HEY! So January 2018 is officially in the books. It felt like the longest month to ever happen. We’re still in the thick of winter here in NJ…January and February are my least favorites of the year BY FAR. All the cold with no end in site. So basically online shopping keeps me sane. Kinda kidding?

So I don’t have any new food related favorites. January is typically a slow baking month around here, like I am sure it is in a lot of your kitchens after the holiday burn-out.

My Fall Favorites list is one of my favorite lists to put together every year! Plaid, pumpkin, and cozy are all right up my alley! Plus, this list isn’t a gift guide, unless you’re into giving yourself presents…which I, actually, am!

Today I’m sharing all my fall favorites. I mean, some are repeat favorites, but most are brand new. When the weather starts to turn a little chilly, the basic girl inside gets all sorts of happy.
