Berry in the Burgh

As promised on Instagram, here is the blog to match my post from a few days ago! The big move has kept me on my toes so I am just getting around to posting it now! I styled a plain white tee for work with two outfits for everyday looks and two for casual Friday looks. One of my favorite things to do is use items from my casual wardrobe for my work wardrobe. I feel like combining the two helps save some money and brings so much more creativity to my fits!

Charcuterie Boards have become a staple for my family gatherings. We are Italian so of course, we LOVE to eat. I always use Italian meats since my family prefers that, but these boards can be filled with literally almost anything in the fridge. I broke down my 3 favorite boards I've made so far. My top recs for specialty items to pick up are the honeycomb, fruit paste, and cheese curds. Check out all 3 boards below! I added a list of ingredients that I didn't use in these boards, but definitely still recommend using to construct your charcuterie. 

Keeping up with economic & financial news has always been important to me and has been part of my daily routine for about 3 years now. Entering college, I was a marketing major and ended up graduating with a degree in finance & economics. I felt like switching my major gave me some of the most valuable knowledge not only to bring to the work force, but also knowledge I can use in my own personal finance. Financial literacy is important for all individuals, not just those in business or finance. Slide in my DMs with any questions!!!

This is one of my favorite quick and easy desserts. After a long day at the office, these brownie bites are NEEDED. I only use a brownie box mix and cherry pie filling, but you can add a layer of creamy chocolate filling too! I low key bring these to parties and work events since I'm such a last minute human and usually running late!!!!

I got so many questions yesterday on the products I got from Target so I decided to make a quick blog post about them. I grabbed some SmartSweet snacks, a Birkenstock dupe, sterling silver earrings, and some new sunnies. Shipping only took about 3 days, which has been much faster than many stores during this time. I'll throw the links at the bottom of the page!

In Corporate America, we don't have time to make dessert BUT we do have time to make this Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding. It's only 4 ingredients that you probably already have at home. I make it real quick in the morning before work so that it has time to refrigerate all day and then after dinner, it's ready to serve. I literally felt so boujee eating this for dessert. It has such a classy presentation and is just sweet enough to curb the dessert craving.

Mother's Day on a Budget: Gift Guides Under $20, Under $50, and Under $100. Guides include quarantine comfies, kitchen appliances, a purse, and coffee gifts. Due to COVID-19, I'd focus on gifts for around the house or something to make working from home better. Luckily, comfy clothes, fuzzy socks, robes, and blankets are all usually budget friendly. I tried to find lower cost items since many of us are out of work as well. I linked all gifts down at the bottom.
