🍗Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner (To-Go!)🐔  Nuggets, Nibblerz & No Regrets: The Chicken Showdown     When life gets busy and your stomach’s growling louder than your to-do list, nothing hits quite like a quick meal. Chicken has always been my preference over beef or pork ever since I was a little girl. This summer, I taste-tested four popular to go chicken options that are beloved across the South (and beyond): Zaxby’s Nibblerz Meal, Chick-fil-A’s Nugget Meal, Publix’s Chicken Finger Sub, and Raising Cane’s 3-Piece Box . Whether you're team sauce, team crunch, or team “whatever’s nearest,” here’s the breakdown of where each shines and where you can find them. 🍗 1. Zaxby’s — Nibblerz Meal Where You Can Find It: 900+ locations, mostly in the Southeast and Midwest What I Ordered: The Nibblerz Meal (includes 3 mini chicken finger sandwiches, crinkle fries, and a drink)--Shout out to my husband for trying the chicken strip meal so a girl could have options! He re...

Throne of Glass: The Fantasy Series That Broke My TBR List (No Spoilers, Pinky Promise!) Like a lot of people, I found myself craving an escape during the pandemic. With so much uncertainty in the world, I turned to something that always brought me comfort my whole life: books! At first, I just wanted something light to pass the time but then I did what any curious, book-hungry person would do... I opened TikTok. And oh. my. gosh. I fell straight down the rabbit hole of BookTok  and I did not come out the same. Suddenly my FYP was filled with passionate readers talking about enemies-to-lovers, morally gray characters, tropes, and fantasy worlds I had to experience. One series kept popping up over and over again: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. Everyone was raving about it. The drama. The magic. The characters. The plot twists. I was intrigued... and slightly intimidated (hello, eight books?!). But I gave it a shot and let me tell you, it took over my life in the best way. Y...

🧴Screen Queens☀️ 5 SPF-Packed Skincare Products That Do It All & Are A Must In My Skincare Rotation Even if you live under a rock (which if you are, I need to know....is it cooler under there??) and haven't seen the headlines about the heatwave that is sweeping across most of the United States as we wrap up this month, all you have to do is step outside to know that the sun's out, and it's HOT! 🥵 Sun damage doesn’t just happen at the beach, it happens every day. Incorporating SPF into your skincare routine is one of the most important (and easiest!) ways to protect your skin from premature aging, dark spots, and skin cancer. I put beauty products to the test, and implemented them over the course of the past year into my routine to have more SPF in my daily line up. Until I started digging into what all these alphabet soup acronyms are and mean (UVs....SPF....), all I really knew was: Sun=bad for skin. Let me share with you some of the important things I've found o...

Sweat, Soothe, Repeat: Why I Love My Infrared Sauna Blanket   My Secret Weapon Against Pain & Burnout Over the past 2 years, I have struggled to find time to make it to the gym and I've learned that I much prefer working out at home. While there's only a couple pieces of machinary that I actually miss, the biggest thing that I miss from the gym is the sauna. My coworker told me about a sauna blanket that they used and how they feel like they get all the same perks as going to a gym sauna. I decided I needed to check it out and see if they hype was really worth it. I bought this in February 2023, and I'm happy to report that it's still going strong! Let me share some of my thoughts on it from the past 2 years. 🛏️ First Impressions When the sauna blanket arrived, I was curious...would this at-home spa gizmo really deliver or was I falling for another trend? Unrolling the sleek grey shell, I saw a compact, thoughtfully designed blanket with a handheld controller and m...

  Carry-On Goals: Charging Ports, Chic Looks, and Compact Power It's summertime and you know what that means...time to travel! Let's be honest though, when doesn't the travel bug crawl up and bite me? While road trips are fantastic, there's no denying that certain trips are better suited for flying. My husband is the absolute best when we travel because he insists on doing all of the heavy lifting and keeping up with the suitcases, so when it's time for me to travel alone, I'm more mindful of what I pack as my carry on item. That's where the  French Connection 16″ Underseat Carry‑On Luggage with USB‑C Ports comes into play. It's lightweight enough that I can lift it into the overhead bin by myself if I have a smaller bag with me that I plan on putting under my seat, but it's also small enough to fit under my seat. I put this luggage piece to the test recently when I flew to North Carolina for a week. Literally 24 hours before the flight, I decided I ...
