Beauty & her Budget

 This small but mighty little fish, the @luckyironfish could be one of the simplest solutions to a widespread issue: Iron Deficiency! 🐟 . I just received this party pack from @tryazon with my own Lucky Iron Fish and I can’t wait to see it at work, adding Iron to my daily recipes. The Lucky Iron Fish is designed to release 6-8mg of iron off its surface when it’s boiled in liquid that has been slightly acidified. So just by plopping this tiny iron fish into boiling liquids—Soups, Pasta Sauce, Tea, etc.— you can add up to 75% of your daily required iron intake! 🤯 . And if used correctly, it doesn’t even change the flavors of your recipe! . I love that this party pack was not just going to be a fun party but that it also impacts my daily life and health! 🎉 . . I made a yummy Squash soup from scratch last weekend & added Iron by using my @luckyironfish !! 🍁 . . It was a perfect fall party and it was so incredibly easy! I simply boiled the Lucky Iron Fish in the chicken broth before

I love Argentinian Alfajores! These shortbread cookies melt in your mouth and are as beautiful as they are delicious! I also really love fall and all things pumpkin spice. So I thought, why not combine the two? SO I introduce you to Pumpkin Spiced Alfajores . This recipe is adapted from a recipe from En Casa Contigo , it is simple but does take some time and preparation. The ingredients are not all daily household baking ingredients and you will likely need to make a trip to the store for these! The key to making the cookies crumbly and soft is the Wheat Flour & Cornstarch. I tried this recipe with regular flour and "Whole wheat" flour at first, but then I finally found the right flour and it made the world of a difference.  Prep Time: 35 minutes Chilling Time: 30 minutes Baking Time: 8-10 minutes Ingredients: • 1 cup - Wheat flour • 1 cup - Corn Starch • 1 teaspoon - Baking powder • 1/4 teaspoon - Baking soda • 1/2 cup - Unsalted butter at room temperature • 1/2 cup + 1

These Fall flavored popcorn snacks were the perfect compliment to a Fall birthday party 🍿🥳🎉 . . This past weekend we celebrated my cousin (basically sister💞) with a lot of laughter & a lot of GOOD food!! We played dominoes, caught up on life, and talked about the upcoming holiday season ! 🦃😬 . . We also got to enjoy these super yummy fall flavored popcorns by Sweet Chaos!! They were delicious, crunchy, and tasted really fresh! My favorites were Vanilla Chai & *no surprise* Pumpkin Spice!! 🍁 . .  If you’re anything like my family you’re probably reading the labels and thinking WOW, that’s a lot of sweetness 😳 honestly, I was not sure what to expect before trying these. With flavors like Candy Corn & Maple Brown Sugar, I thought these could easily be overwhelmingly sweet. But they were not!! I mean they are Sweeeet, but it’s definitely not overly sugary and you can eat a good handful without getting sick of it. 😋  . . These were a definite hit for me and my family an

 GUESS WHAT?! I have found the BEST brushes for every single hair type. Say bye to the hair pulling, hair ripping, frizz creating brushes of the past. (Sorry Wet Brush, this Flexy Brush left you in the dust 🙈) . . I received these products from @curlkeeper for a @tryazon Mommy & Me party and I am blown away with the softness and variety of products they have. I had received a previous party pack from this company and was already so in love with this brush. But this time I had the chance to see it work it’s magic with the little ones & I am a double fan now!  . . If you’ve ever tried detangling hair for kids, especially the younger ones,  you know they squirm and complain and sometimes it takes way longer than their attention spans can manage. These “Kinder Brushes” are miracle workers, detangling hair with ease and almost no pull! The detangler spray makes the task even easier and the definition & softening creams create beautiful, bouncy, lasting curls. . . These are hone

 This last weekend we were able to play a new game that was a huge challenge but so simple and fun!! The game is all about COLORS! You have a board with 480 colors (!!!) and you have to get other players to guess the exact hue that's on your card. This game makes you get both incredibly creative and also competitive! Only one player can guess the actual hue in each round, though others will be able to get points for being close.  We received this game as part of an awesome party pack from Tryazon! It is supposed to be for ages 8+ but I think even younger ones can get involved with the help of an adult. I also love that this game can be played with up to 10 players! My game nights always involve larger groups and it isn't always easy to find games that can be played by more than 6 people and will keep everyone engaged during each round. It makes it even more of a challenge to play with more players because the hues get taken up pretty quickly each round, but we have so much fun!

  Our @southbeachbubbles Fun Party was a total blast...or how they like to describe it WOWmazing!💥😄 . . It took a few minutes to get the technique down but as soon as we got it, it was so easy and fun! *Take a look, even the 2 year old was making some bubbles of her own 👀 * . . These giant bubble packs are wonderful for parties, gifts, or just a fun family day! Each “WOWmazing” pack brings:  • 1 set of WOWmazing™ Wands • 2 pouches of WOWmazing™ Bubble Concentrate • WOWmazing™ Bubble Trick Booklet . . There is so much fun contained in these little packs, it’s so worth it for both kids and even adults! Thank you @tryazon for providing this party pack free for us to test, share, and review! . . . #southbeachbubbles #wowmazingbubbles #wowmazing #outdoorfamilyfun #bigbubbles #giantbubbles #Tryazon #free #freebies #freeforreview #producttesting

  Ever wanted to bring the sweet smells & flavors of a Jewish bakery into your home? Well this recipe is a perfect way to do just that! When I was younger, in elementary school, my parents loved to visit the Jewish bakeries that populated Miami Beach and try all the yumminess they have to offer. The smells and taste of those pastries & breads remind me of those childhood memories walking Lincoln Road into the small Jewish bakeries and having our fill of fresh Rugelach, Challah, and of course Chocolate Babka!  Last year I went through an Italian pastry phase and learned to make Rainbow Cookies (or 7-layer cookies) & Pignoli cookies. This year I decided I wanted to jump into the Jewish pastries, which scared me a bit cause they seemed so much more complex. But I found a pretty straightforward Chocolate Babka recipe on Food&Wine and tweaked it as I went along and let me tell you, the results were a total win!! So fluffy, soft, and flavorful, it was perfect!🤤  So, if you’
