Homemade Ice Creams and Frozen Treats

So friends, I have gone a little crazy on my Pinterest–pinning homemade ice creams and frozen treats .

I also really love making my food–allows me to know exactly what’s in it :). Here are a few of the recipes I’m really looking forward to trying! Pistachio Ice Cream-from Blender Babes //… View Post

Hi friends! I took an impromptu break from Made-to-Travel due to work and my dad’s visit…I just had no time at all! So because I’ve been away for a bit I decided to say HI! to you all with my foray into layering dresses. I’ve been trying to create new outfits from what I have and I’m totally loving wearing double dress!

Good Habits: How to Drink More Water

So confession– I’m really bad at drinking water! I rarely feel thirsty, it never comes to mind to hydrate throughout the day, and typically I only think to drink water while I’m working out or with meals. Sadly, this is NOT enough water according to every recommendation ever on drinking water. Last month I decided to get proactive and get into the good habit to drink more water, and so far it’s been working great, so I thought I’d share my tips… View Post

(photos: 1, 2, 3, 4) So what do Anne Hathaway, Blake Lively, Jessica Biel and Carrie Underwood have in common? Obviously the Campana collection by Melissa Shoes!

John Oliver on Fast Fashion

I was watching HBO with my dad over the weekend and was thrilled to see a 17 minute segment on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver that took on fast fashion in a brilliant way. Oliver makes some really great points my favorite being: This is going to keep happening as long as we let it, so we need to show clothing brands not just that we care but why they should… WORD, Mr. Oliver…word! John Oliver made a point… View Post

Who Made My Clothes–Fashion Revolution

/ / 1 Comment
Fashion Revolution is a response to the Rana Plaza tragedy two years ago. This movement that takes place on April 24th every year is really a call to the fashion industry to beg the question: Who Made My Clothes?  Retailers who are exploiting people to produce their products really rely on us to not ask that question, so I encourage you to participate no matter what you’re wearing ask who made your clothing! The truth is retailers will not change if we do not prompt… View Post
