Hi, guys! As the holidays approach and I think about new dishes to serve at my own family gatherings, recipes like this emerge. It's not the usual savory dip recipe but goes well with savory dippers.

It's a hearty, creamy dip, and contains some good-for-you ingredients that will make you feel better about serving such a sweet treat! It's also great to make for those who are gluten-free, wheat-free, or who don't eat refined sugar. Keep reading for the recipe!

Hey! Today I have a fun and useful recipe for you: DIY Poo-Pourri! If you've never used Poo-Pourri, it's a spray that you add to your toilet water before you *ahem* go number two?

It's easy to make and I have a DIY version for you below along with some great scent combinations to try out + a printable label!

Hi, guys! I was actually making this Antipasto Salad for the fam this week and wondered why I'd never shared it before; It's a delicious, filling, salad-for-dinner option that can be literally thrown together in minutes and everyone loves it. It's a Romaine base topped with all of your favorites from the Antipasto tray: pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, grape tomatoes, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, and pepperoncini.

It looks like you spent a lot of time preparing it, but it's made up of mostly, if not all, pre-packaged, jarred, or canned items and the homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette is so easy, you don't even need measuring cups or spoons and it is so good! You can even leave out the pepperoni for a meatless meal option. Give it a try this week and you'll be adding it into your meal planning for sure!

Hi, guys! Summer is a ridiculously crazy time for us with trips, events, and activities, so it's also the time where I tend to let the things slide that aren't necessarily necessary, like letting my gray roots peek through for longer than usual.

I do use a root concealer, but it takes a long time to apply the powder with a brush, so when I was given the chance to try out a salon-quality temporary root concealer spray, I was so ready to save some precious, precious time. I gave the Gray Away Temporary Root Concealer Spray a try and I have all of the details for you, including a little video I made to show you how to use it!

Hey, guys! It's been one crazy summer in our house, but a few days ago I got a craving for some Jalapeño Hummus and since this was a recipe I had promised to share, took some photos while I made it! This is a spicy hummus loaded with jalapeños, lime, garlic, and cumin, and cilantro can also be added for a fresh pop of flavor. It's a great dip for veggies, chips, crackers, or even bread, and is a great healthy snack. It's vegetarian and vegan, and it takes about 5 minutes to whip up!
