We’re celebrating Hanukkah with my fam tonight... a latke cook-off and exchanging gifts secret-Santa-style, can’t wait! 🎁✨If you’re working on holiday gifts for friends and family, making something homemade is always a fun and thoughtful way to go. Infused olive oils are one of my favorite homemade gifts - they’re festive, practical, and super cost-effective to make. The perfect gift for anyone who loves to cook or for the hostess with the mostess! Head to the blog and search “infused olive oils” for the full post and instructions on how to make them! __ 📷: @currentlykristen
What could possibly bring on the holiday feels more than baking (and eating) chocolate peppermint cookies (while singing along to Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas)? Speaking from experience, the answer is... nothing! These Chocolate Peppermint Cake Mix Cookies (yes I said cake mix!) are the ultimate cookies of the holiday season and you're going to LOVE them! Obviously I wouldn't use just any chocolate cake mix in these cookies. When it comes to a boxed mix, the only brand I love and trust is @simplemills because it’s made with just a few simple (obvi!) ingredients like almond flour, coconut flour, and coconut sugar. It’s the perfect upgrade for this recipe! These cookies are super easy to make (they only require 1 bowl & a few ingredients), they’re gluten-free, paleo-friendly, and they can be yours within 15 minutes. I’m pretty sure when Mariah said all she wants is YOU... she was talking about these cookies! 😉🍫✨ link in bio! #SimpleMills #SimplyBright #ad
How do you guys deal with anxiety? To be honest, I don’t usually run that anxious, but lately, I’ve had some anxiety creeping in about things that I can’t control and I’m really trying to let it goooo and focus my energy on what I can control! Easier said than done, but what always helps me feel better is getting outside for a walk while listening to a podcast. The walk clears my mind and the podcast is a nice (and usually inspiring) distraction. Another thing that helps me ease anxiety is acupuncture, which (for me) is basically just the worlds best nap. I’ve never really tried meditating, but knowing that a lot of people swear by it, I’m going to give it a try - 10 minutes of @headspace a day for the next 30 days (I figure if I say that here, it will make me stick with it!). Any tried-and-true tips for managing anxiety? Please share! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
