Happy Haunting, Amelia Bedelia!


Happy Halloween, peanuts!


Anyone out there fans of Amelia Bedelia? She was one of our favorite books growing up. Apparently, there is an actual Halloween story called "Happy Haunting, Amelia Bedelia" but when I was little, we had just the self titled "Amelia Bedelia" by Peggy Parish and my mother would read it over and over with me.

Miss Semi Sweet's Goblin Cookies - Veganised!


I've been watching Miss Semi Sweet's YouTube channel for years now, loving how much she loves to explore retro recipes and dares to try even the worst ones for our entertainment. We share a love for the kitchen (as well as retro style!) and love her quirky and silly personality in each video she shares.


As I was putting together my Halloween posts for this week, I watched one of her videos with these cookies as the star and originally just wanted to try them for myself. Then I noticed they would be fairly easy to make vegan and then I thought, why not adapt the recipe and share my version here on homage to Miss Semi Sweet herself!

French Kiss (Lady V London Elsie Dress)


I never ever thought in a million years that I'd love a wiggle style dress as much as I love this Elsie dress by Lady V London. I bought it in August in preparation for my big trip to Europe to add to my booth uniform wardrobe.


The green and blue hues in the dress match our corporate colors and the more corporate style of the dress fit the business casual attire we decided on for staff in the booth. All the while being a super pretty dress? Winner winner!

Oh Bite Me: (Vegan) Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites


Know what the best day off is? It's not setting any alarms, staying in bed all cozy-like while looking at wedding stuff until noon, dragging ourselves out of bed just to go get lunch somewhere not so healthy for us, running a few errands (and getting started on Christmas shopping!), coming home and blogging while Cody plays whatever video game he's currently into, and only getting up from the couch to eventually make dinner and continue binge-watching a Netflix show (currently it's the hilariously inappropriate Big Mouth).

Parading in Paris (Bernie Dexter Mari Dress)


You know what I love? When Bernie Dexter offers 70% off sale items. You wanna know how this girl has so many Bernies? THIS IS HOW, PEANUTS! You gotta pay attention. You gotta subscribe to newsletters if brands/companies/stores offer them and be aware. Because when designers like Bernie offer 70% off, you jump.
