Be Mine Valentine

 







Valentine’s Day is less than a month away and I’ve put together my first collage of some of my favorite products to celebrate the day! I’m a sucker for novelty so it should come as no surprise that there’s tons and tons of heart products!

Macarons: Obviously, I had to include one of my favorite treats on this list! The great thing about these particular macarons is you can have them shipped right to your front door! I’m also stalking my local Costco hoping they bring back their heart shaped macarons again!

Pizza: Let your favorite pizza lover know they have a pizza your heart! Being in Norcal my chances to get authentic deep-dish pizza are far and few in between. I LOVE when a loved one sends me some hometown love!

Pot: If you are more into cooking for the ones you love Le Creuset has brought back their Valentine’s Collection, including this L’Amour Soup Pot. This sold out FAST last year so if it’s catching your eye- treat yo’self!

Waffle maker: How much do I love waffles? Enough to own FOUR waffle irons including this heart shaped waffle maker by dash! I could not resist the hearts and the mini size. Side note; these mini waffle irons are usually under $20 and can be used to make chaffles if you’re looking to try keto!

Heart pie dish: Chocolate Pie is the way to Gray’s heart and this year I upgraded my heart pan to this Emile Henry pie dish. You could even use these to make a charcuterie board! I’ve also seen a Martha Stewart version at TJ Maxx for under $15!

Starbucks cup: Am I a coffee drinker? No. Have I still become a Starbucks cup fan? Absolutely and I blame my coworker a little bit. These cups are kind of like unicorns- elusive and magical if you stumble upon them. That being said if you see one you like, get it- it won’t be there when you come back.

Clear heart mug: If you prefer your coffee at home this Williams and Sonoma latte mug is for you! Once you fill up with your coffee or tea you have a heart! 

Heart crossbodies: No surprise that these are making this gift list. Last year the Love Shack Fancy bag went viral and this year she’s back and in more colors! This bag can be found at Kate Spade Outlets. Specialty stores are also carrying a heart bag this year- which is extra puffy and has a cute strap with more hearts!

Heart shoes: Dress the part head to TOE with these cute embroidered heart sneakers also at Kate Spade!

Sweater: I just ordered this sweater from Draper James and can’t wait until it shows up! Why not be cute and comfy?

Necklace: Kendra Scott has new colors of their every popular Ari necklace this year! You can mix and match metals and stones to find your perfect match.

Candle: Voluspa candles are a great add on to any gift. Not only do they smell great but they last forever! 


What’s on your Valentine's wishlist this year? 














Jan 3, 2022

I don't know about you but I'm feeling 2022

It’s a new year and time for some New Years resolutions. While I’m not typically big on resolutions, I thought this year I’d give it a go. Maybe making a list will keep me honest and motivated 🤞


  1. As soon as Harvest approached I went MIA on here 🙃 So a goal this year is to not do that 🤣 I’m hoping to post at least once a month and that it will give me some accountability.
  2. Work on our house 😑 We have some house projects that have stalled out once Covid hit and we ran into inflation and chain supply issues. This year I’m hoping we can get some of these projects finished.
  3. Work on a healthier lifestyle. This is a double edge sword- both fitness wise and food wise. I am definitely an emotional eater, with a major sweet tooth so I have definitely landed myself in the pandemic 15 club 😵‍💫 I am lucky to have the fitness tools available to me and need to make a habit of using them! 
  4. Read more! I LOVE a good book but hate having to find “the next one”. I loaded up my bookshelf and am ready to start diving in. 
  5. Make time for hobbies! 
  6. Go on more hikes and adventures! We’ve got some new friends around here and I can’t wait to hit the trails with them! 
  7. Go on vacay!! Please be kind to us Covid  🙏
  8. The rest? Who knows! Let’s just hope 2022 will be a step in a better direction than the past few years!


What are your New Years Resolutions?
