Happy Friday! I am wrapping up the week with my gift guides for teenagers. They can truly be so hard to shop for, but I have rounded up a few things that are sure to please any young adult in your life. I did categorize them into boys and girls, but there are some that work for every gender and age, so make sure you take a look at both. For more inspiration, feel free to take a look at last years guide. There are some great ideas on there as well. If you are donating toys this year, I ...

THE BEST HOLIDAY CRANBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS
All of this gift guide writing made me hungry and I needed a snack, so I am sharing this recipe for the best holiday cranberry cheesecake bars with you today. I am not a pumpkin pie person and this is my go-to dessert every Thanksgiving. It is also great for holiday parties and lets you use any leftover cranberry sauce. You can also make them into individual cheesecakes by using cupcakes liners and a muffing tin. These always go fast in my house, as everyone loves them. They have a buttery, ...

Maryland Orange Crush Cocktail
Happy Friday! Chances are, if you have ever visited the Maryland shores during the summer, you have had an Orange Crush Cocktail. This drink is quite famous around these parts and a staple cocktail at restaurants, crab houses and dock bars around the state. I had never heard of it until I moved here a couple of years ago, but boy, do I love a good Orange Crush Cocktail these days. I am generally not a huge vodka fan (another story for another day), but for some reason, I have been obsessed with ...
Macy’s Backstage Review and Grand Opening!
I am excited to share with you my Macy's Backstage review. I was recently invited to the grand opening of the new Macy's Backstage, right here in my hometown of Annapolis, and I was thrilled to check it out. Shopping is always more fun with a girlfriend, so obviously, Megan from Take Time for Style, and I made a day out of it. I honestly was not sure what to expect. All I knew was that Macy's was offering designer goods at discounted prices, so we were eager see their offerings. ...
