It’s been a little over one month since we packed our bags and moved to Germany. Looking back on our first week here seems like ages ago in a lot of ways. We've learned so much already, made a handful of mistakes, and embarrassed ourselves more times than I'd like to admit.

The thing I love most about this dish is the fresh, lime taste that is in every bite -- it just taste like summer. Also, the lentils bring a lot of protein to this that you could eat this on its own for a meal. It'll store in the fridge for a few days, but I don't believe mine has even made it to see day 2. If you're interested in making this, the recipe is below!

Today I am sharing a simple, delightful cocktail recipe. I must admit, I am definitely not an "expert" in the liquor/fancy drink arena, but I do enjoy a fresh, mixed drink here and there. I partnered up with one of my dear friends, Chelsea, to create a delicious cocktail that makes ya feel like a professional mixologist.

I have constantly struggled with my skin since I was in middle school. Still not quite sure how I survived that awkward stage with frizzy hair and Abercrombie hoodies. If only I had these products 10+ years ago, I think it would of saved many bad make-up days trying to cover blemishes and feeling conscious. Nonetheless, Proactive was the only solution back in the day, and Jessica Simpson just didn't quite sell me on the fact that was the only product that solved her acne woes.

I am all about testing out the newest craze, whether it be a Smoothie Bowl or somehow making pancakes out of bananas and egg whites -- I've got to try it at least once. Lately, I've been seeing and hearing a lot of people rave about zucchini, sweet potato and carrot noodles. I love a good, dense noodle, so turning a veggie into something similar? Yes, please!

June is Elderflower Season -- who knew? 

Sharing a light, summery cocktail recipe today with you guys. It's easy and so refreshing.

This weekend, Erin and I decided to head over to the Oak Ridge Farmer's Market, which also included a Lavender Festival. When we arrived in the parking lot, you could smell the lavender from a  mile away --  it was glorious. Of course we had to capture the beauty of all the bundles we purchased. Excited to use my new lavender in a recipe!
