Popcorn is my absolute favorite snack—there’s just something about its light, crunchy texture and satisfying buttery flavor that makes it irresistible. For the longest time, I thought nothing could compare to movie theater popcorn. That warm, freshly popped goodness, drenched in butter and perfectly salted, was my ultimate treat whenever I went to see a film. It had that signature aroma that filled the air, instantly making any movie feel like an experience. But then, I discovered how to make delicious popcorn at home, and my whole snacking game changed. Not only does homemade popcorn taste better, but it’s also fresher, customizable, and a fraction of the cost. Plus, there’s something incredibly satisfying about hearing those kernels pop and watching them transform into fluffy, crunchy bites of perfection. It’s safe to say that my popcorn obsession has only grown stronger—except now, I don’t have to wait for a movie night to indulge in my favorite snack! 🍿✨

I started baking sourdough a few years ago with some starter I got from my sister!

These are my favorites from Nespresso. I personally have the Vertuo Next Machine and I am in love with it. I purchased mine in 2021 and never had trouble with it. I love that I can connect it with my phone and lets me know if needs cleaning or if something is wrong with the machine. For me the cleaning part notification is a huge plus because let's be serious who remembers to descaling their machine every 3 months? Another reason why I choose Nespresso versus other brand is because they always have deals or promotions. I always get 10 or more sleeves and I usually get free mugs, glasses, plus every order comes with free samples. Recycling is free of charge as the UPS label is prepaid.
