I love to cook! But I'm also chronically ill/disabled, which means that there are many days when I'm not well enough to do so. My husband and I also don't have kids, so each recipe I make usually leaves some leftovers! Generally we save half of the leftovers in the fridge for later and freeze the other half. These are the recipes we make regularly that hold up best after a freeze and defrost!One Tip: Refrigerate your leftovers before they freeze! It helps prevent bigger ice chunks and freezer burn.

If you're looking for your next obsession and you're anything like me (a millennial woman who loves a good laugh and an even better book), this list is for you!

I am a former overpacker who never would have thought that I could travel internationally without checking a bag, but here we are! These are the items that I always bring, that have really helped me!

I'm a disabled millennial American doing my best to stay politically aware AND maintain my mental health. I'm trying to soak up as much joy as I can these days. Here’s where I’m finding it this month!

My partner and I attend Bonnaroo (and camp) every year (I think this our 8th? 9th?). Here's everything you need, from someone who's been there!

I'm chronically ill and spend a lot of time in bed! Here are some activities I enjoy that aren't just Netflix & Candy Crush.

I drink non-caffeinated tea literally all day. They're hydrating and flavorful and make me feel cozy. These are my favorite teas and my favorite ways to brew them!

I've lived in East Nashville for nine years! Here are my very favorite spots.

I have chronic migraine! These are the things that have made my life easier.

I'm chronically ill, but I still love to exercise whenever my body is up for it! Whether it's taking a walk, restorative yoga or doing a full weightlifting session, I try to move as much as my body allows on a given day.

While I'm a summer gal through and through, I do love blankets and giant mugs of tea and fresh school supplies, and of course, a seasonal book rec! So Welcome to Diversifall, where I'll be recommending autumnal books written by or featuring BIPOC, queer, and/or disabled folks, starting with these back-to-school/academia/education recs!

If you love a found family/chosen family trope, this list is for you! It's mostly made up of BIPOC and queer stories to help you diversify your reading.

Bookish recs for bookish people! Level up your reading habits.

I'm a sucker for a good memoir on audiobook, and I especially love the ones that are narrated by the author. It feels like having a friend tell you their life story over coffee. Because diverse books are my thing, these books are mostly by BIPOC, queer, and/or disabled authors.

Is there anything more beautiful than a fall wedding? The crisp air, the COLORS, it's lovely. October weddings are especially my favorite. Here are a bunch of versatile cocktail and formal options in gorgeous fall colors and florals, perfect for an autumn wedding! #FashionOver30 #MillennialFashion

I feel most myself in dresses, and I am obsessed with finding the very cutest ones every year. These are dresses that will look amazing layered or on their own, depending on the fall weather!!! #FashionOver30 #MillennialFashion

I basically only wear sundresses in the summer (it gets hot in Tennessee)! And I feel like my cutest self in a dress. I'm a sucker for a unique detail, a fun print, and bright colors.

I have naturally curly/wavy hair, but I also like wearing it straight! You can see both versions in my profile photos. For naturally curly hair, it's extra important to protect your hair from heat and dryness. These are the products I love and recommend!

My full washday routine! I have wavy hair with some larger ringlets, and through a lot of trial and error, I've found a routine and products that consistently work for me!

Prescription retinoids are notoriously drying and make skin a little more sensitive and peely! Here are the products I've found that work for me. I also have brown skin, which makes me more prone to dark spots.
