I love the whole aesthetic and theme that both the book and the show brought. Definitely that classic beachy coastal theme. I didn't think I would get into this series as much as I have because I am not always into romance type of books or shows. However, it now has me quite invested. Here are some items that I found on different sites that screamed TSITP! May earn amazon commissions for qualifying purchases.

A great summer pasta salad, I feel, is a staple side dish with most summer meals. You can have it with hamburgers, steak, brats and hot dogs, grilled chicken, the list goes on! This is a pasta salad my mom puts together and it tastes really good! This one serves about 15 people (about a spoonful per person), so you could probably cut the ingredients down if you are just serving a small household. Preptime about 30 - 45 mins Cook Time about 15 mins 1 1/2 Boxes of Tri Color Rotini noodles: cook until soft. 1 Chopped Cucumber 1 (15.5 Ounce) Can of Chick Peas 1/4 of a chopped Red Onion 1/2 a Jar of unpitted Kalmata Olives (Could Sub for Black Olives): make sure to cut olives in half 1/2 a jar of sliced Banana Peppers 1 Bag of Pepperoni: chop up to liking 1/2 - 1 Container of Grape Tomatoes: cut these in half Lightly shake in some Salad Supreme seasoning on the pasta salad. 6oz of Feta Cheese (Could Sub for Parmasan Cheese) 1 1/2 Containers of Zesty Italian Dressing. Mix everything together. The longer it melds together the more flavor the salad has. Note: If you are melding the salad together for many hours or overnight, you may want to add the cheese right before serving so it does not get too mushy. Enjoy!

This is one of the best chili recipes that my family and I have ever made! I know it is summertime (not really chili eating weather), at least here in MN, but you are going to want to save this recipe! I can not take full credit for this recipe as it is not my own. We have tweaked a few ingredients to our liking. Hope you enjoy it! 😊 Thank you, MIGHTYPURDUE22 from Allrecipes.com, for sharing your recipe. This one is a real hit! I have included the original recipe. Our tweaked version is below. Details: Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 2 hours Ready In: 2 hours & 30 minutes Servings: 6 Ingredients: 2 pounds of ground beef chuck 1 pound bulk Hot Italian sausage 2 (15 ounce) cans chili beans, drained 3 (14 ounce) cans petite diced tomatoes with juice 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste ½ of a large yellow onion, chopped 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped 1 (7 ounce) can green chili peppers, seeded and chopped 1 ½ teaspoons bacon bits 2 cubes beef bouillon ¼ cup beer 2 tablespoons chili powder 3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 3 teaspoons minced garlic 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (e.g., Tabasco™) ½ teaspoon dried basil ½ teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper ½ teaspoon white sugar Instructions: Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble the ground chuck and sausage into the hot pan, and cook until evenly browned. Drain off excess grease. Pour in the chili beans, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Add the onion, green and red bell peppers, green chili peppers, bacon bits, bouillon, and beer. Season with chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, cumin, hot pepper sauce, basil, pepper, cayenne pepper, and sugar. Stir to blend, then cover and simmer over low heat for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally. After 2 hours, taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. The longer the chili simmers, the better it will taste. Remove from heat and serve, or refrigerate, and serve the next day. Enjoy your chili!

I have been collecting ideas from all over to start this coastal bedroom makeover, TikTok, Pinterest, watching Magnolia Network and HGTV, surfing Amazon for unique coastal items, and books I bought for inspiration, which actually double as decor. ****Note I am an Amazon Affiliate and will earn a small commission off of Amazon purchases.****

I may not be in college anymore, but I thought maybe I could list some items I had in my dorm/apartment while going to college. Hopefully, these are helpful ideas to help a college student out. Tips * Buy things that are in bulk to save some money (notebooks, writing utencils, folders, snacks, etc...). * Buy things at the dollar store if you can. * Get a college meal plan if you can. I didn't have one because time frames to eat didn't match up with my schedule, and my college apartment (owned by the college) was a 15-minute walk to campus. * I used to hate leftovers, but I really began to appreciate them more when my parents sent them back to college with me, as it wasn't always easy time wise to cook meals. ****Note I am an Amazon Affiliate and will earn a small commission off of Amazon purchases.****

I like to travel when I can, to get away from the everyday grind. When I plan a vacation I like to travel light, especially when I am going to the airport.

Hopefully, some of these items will help you for your next trip!

I wanted to share some of my favorite stores to shop from clothing, accessories, home and lifestyle, and more. Hopefully, these stores will give you new ideas and inspiration.

I like stores that have a variety as well as quality of goods and items to choose from. I hope you find something new! Some of the shops I have listed may ship internationally as well and not just the USA.
