Ancient methods keep finding their way back. I’m loving these slow and intentional baking days. ✨

See how the Kitchenaid makes it all work out? I can do the easiest and the hardest jobs with my Artisan stand mixer. Bread can be difficult to mix, but my Kitchenaid is thriving. The key is to never mix above a speed of 3. Once that happens, the dough risks getting overworked. Don’t want that! My favorite place to get Kitchenaid mixers is @Williams-Sonoma 💙

One mole thing: a Pullman loaf pan is my favorite vessel to bake bread. The sides are straight for an amazingly stable loaf that rises beautifully. WS has an eight inch one. Get these soon, they don’t tend to stay in stock!

The Le Crueset creating the perfect evening mood. ♥️

Dutch ovens from Le Crueset are the truth. They’re so deep that they’ll never boil over, large enough to make large batches of soup, stew or whatever you’re serving a crowd. And the heat retention is unmatched. You can never go wrong with one of these! Crate and Barrel has them in lovely sale currently, so now’s your time. They might sell out in this color and others, so definitely jump on this one soon. ✨

Sneak peek from a video I’m creating about my favorite activity. Making bread is a superpower, I’m convinced. Plus I adore this cutting board Don’t know when I decided checkered everything was my favorite, but I’m here now and never leaving. There’s just something so charming about it. ✨

And here’s the thing: you can find this stunning chopping board in multiple stores online! My fave is from @MacKenzie-Childs , but you can also get a similar style in two lower price points ! For a mid range option, check out @Wayfair ‘s beautiful board from Modern Luxe, and if you’re looking for something truly handmade, check out my recommendation from @Etsy ♥️ All three are linked ! Let me know what you pick up. ♥️

My kitchen standard is my Kitchenaid stand mixer. I’ve had it for years and it still kneads bread, blends cookie dough and whips Swiss meringue buttercream like an absolute boss. I have the Artisan version and really can’t wait to upgrade to a pro. Ask the things that give you a headache in your kitchen will be solved with this sweet addition. It helps mornings stay meaningful and slow and nights a bit more efficient at dinner time. I’ll link this below, tell me what color and model you gave or are going to get!

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKfoodie #LTKHome

Iconic palettes that deserve more of our attention? This one’s a forever favorite. @anastasiabeverlyhills Soft Glam palette is one of the most versatile eyeshadow collections ever. A transition/skin tone shade for everyone, plus shimmers for the inner corner and eyelids and an inky black for dramatic smoked lash lines. All in sleek, artist and vanity friendly packaging that feels elevated and chic. There have been a million palettes since this one came out, but I’m still reaching for it. I will always recommend this one to any glam makeup lover. ✨

The most affordable lip liners you’ll ever love. ❤️ OG style wooden pencils that line, fill, define and stay put. These are available on Amazon, cruelty free of course! There’s a nude shade for everyone, and also a pink, berry and 90s style brown. One of the best beauty purchases you’ll do this year. They come in sets of 6. Worth it. ❤️

The ultimate setup for making maple sugar! A stainless steel stockpot (always look for tri ply so that the sides do their job to hold in heat), and a candy thermometer to help you track the heat progression!

Studying the depth, warmth, contrast & balance of these beauties from @beautycreations.cosmetics before they enter my pro kit. Neutral, rosy, rich & toasted tones for every skin tone + undertone. 🖤

My two fave tea kettles! I use the Mackenzie-Childs one is the best, it’s so beautiful and whimsical. I just can’t use it on my induction stove (seriously never try it, you’ll ruin your stove and kettle!) . So I painted another one and the same checkered pattern and ended up loving it! I got a similar gold accent from a craft store and attached it. I love that I get the same feeling, but can boil water on my stove with my diy version. ❤️

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmorningroutine

Morning ritual. ☕️ @mackenziechilds
Low stock on all these beauties. Grab what you can, as soon as you can. ❤️

All my grains together, veggie they so get made into flour for breads, cookies, cakes, muffins and whatever else I can dream up fo my family and I. From left to right I use hard white, hard red, kamut and einkorn. Spelt isn’t pictured but I love it just as much ♥️ Storing grains in airtight glass containers is way better than keying them sit in plastic bags or open air. Linking the large mason jars I use. ❤️

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKfoodie #LTKOver40

The Mackenzie-Childs Creamer in Sterling Check. So so beautiful and it’s not just for coffee creamer! It can be used for gravy, syrup, hot fudge and more. It’s my first MC piece with the Sterling Check shade, and I actually really like the neutral tone of it!

If you bake bread, a Danish dough whisk is one of those quiet upgrades that changes everything. ✨
It cuts through dense dough effortlessly, blends flour and water without overworking gluten, and gives you that perfectly shaggy, artisan-style mix-no sticky hands, no overmixing, no fuss. The open coil design keeps dough from clumping, so every stir feels smooth and intentional.
It’s simple, beautiful, and honestly… essential.

The silicone blue inserts for yet Kitchenaid are my favorites. Today I proofed bread anx pita dough at the same time, and I didn’t have to keep washing the same bowl. So genius and convenient, plus they were easy to wash! I have a 7 quarter Kitchenaid and it’s the best workhorse I’ve ever had. This setup will make all your baking easier.

If you’re building a kitchen repertoire that works for you, the Cuisinart Tri-Ply 5qt stock pot is one of those staples you’ll reach for constantly.
I use mine every single week for homemade stock + cozy, nutrient-dense soups - it heats evenly, holds temperature beautifully, and cleans up easily (which matters when you’re cooking often).
But it’s not just for soup! You can:
• Simmer grains like barley or rice
• Cook beans from scratch
• Boil pasta or potatoes
• Make sauces or small batch broths
• Even poach chicken or blanch veggies
It’s that perfect in-between size: not too bulky, but big enough to make real, satisfying meals. If you’re trying to cook more at home, this is one of those pieces that makes it feel effortless 🤍

#LTKHome #LTKmomlife #LTKfoodie

I recently upgraded to the Large Wonder Oven from Our Place, and it’s been such a worthwhile step up from the original smaller version I had. The extra capacity makes a noticeable difference-you can fit more in at once without sacrificing that fast, even cooking it’s known for.
It still has that beautiful, streamlined design, but now it’s even more functional for everyday use. Whether I’m roasting, toasting, or reheating, it handles it all efficiently and helps simplify my time in the kitchen.
If you loved the original but found yourself wishing for just a little more space, this upgrade really delivers in a thoughtful, practical way. Pick one up now via the link below! And if you have the Pro version, let me know! I’ve got my eye on it. 😀

If you don’t have a vacuum sealer in your kitchen yet…this is your sign 🤍
It’s one of those tools you don’t realize you need until you have it-and then you’ll never go back. A good vacuum sealer keeps food fresher so much longer, helps prevent freezer burn, and makes meal prep (and leftovers!) feel effortless instead of wasteful.
I love using mine for everything from portioning proteins and storing freshly milled flour to keeping produce and soups sealed and ready to go. It saves time, money, and honestly just makes your kitchen feel more organized and intentional.
I’m linking a few different options from Amazon so you can find one that fits your space and budget, whether you want something compact or more heavy-duty.
Trust me…once you start sealing, you won’t stop! ✨

I love these silicone bowl inserts for the Kitchenaid stand mixers. I got a set of three and they're such workhorses. It really comes in handy when you need to make multiple doughs in one session, cake and frosting or egg whites to fold into batter. They're driest m sturdy enough to stand up on their own and come with tops. Amazing for bread proofing and overnight cold fermentation. Such a cool set for bakers!

Morning juices are beautiful with my Nama J2. This is one of my favorite morning rituals. ♥️

Outdoor gardening is life. 💙 Toast I harvested some lettuce, Swiss chard and spinach for a juice. Vego garden beds are such a delight. You can grow (and eat) all the produce in them!

Milling your own flour at home? More important than you may think. I just scored a Wondermill on Amazon and I’ve hit the ground running. Allyou need is a grain mill and some grains to start milling your own nutritious flour at home. I might make a video on why this is so important later. ❤️ And pro tip: this model will come in and out of stock on a loop, so keep checking this link to see when it comes available.

Try the viral lemon olive oil drink with me! One whole organic lemon, a chunk of ginger, two tablespoons each of extra virgin olive oil and organic honey, blended with three cups of filtered water. Top a four ounce shot with a sprinkle of Ceylon cinnamon. Drink it in the morning on an empty stomach. Great for digestion, mood and removing excess water from your body!

#LTKActive #LTKfoodie #LTKgrwm

You could be juicing every day in style with the Nama J2. It’s the very best. ♥️ The juicer is quiet, strong and the pulp is always dry. Amazing!

Faux lash suggestions. 🤍

These are incredible lashes! If you haven’t yet tried the Ardell Naked lashes, I know you’ll love them. The wispies are forever classic. The Eyelure ones have been discontinued now, but I’ll link the lowest duplication below. ❤️ All the varieties mentioned in this video are super lightweight and comfortable, easy to apply and stackable for more definition. ♥️ Are lashes a part of your beauty routine?

Extra strength, high absorption turmeric capsules! So great for taking down inflammation, which doesn’t belong in our bodies. It’s great for joint support and overall wellness. It also has black pepper, which is what helps turmeric absorb into your system. I love this one and will keep buying it! Walmart has the lowest price. ❤️

A super simple way to enjoy protein shakes more? It’s the cup. Yeah, the cutesy glass jars with lids that are all over social media. They really are just a way to elevate your daily protein smoothie consumption. Not root expensive either, so you really have nothing to lose. If it gets you interested in getting in more protein or water, it’s worth the buy. I’m linking an inexpensive set for you here. 🖖🏾

The King Noble Flock is a standout tree from the King of Christmas portfolio. The shape of it is just so unique, with its thinner but still sturdy branches. The styling options are endless, because it’s such a versatile piece. I’m so excited to bust this out for demos in the summer. This tree is on sale. If you’re still missing Christmas, buy this one now and you’ll have it fresh and ready for unboxing in December. 🖖🏾
