It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged. There has been so much going on in my life…some good, some bad. Life has definitely been lifing.
I have so much to catch you up on. I still have to talk about my wedding, which happened 2 years ago. We’ve traveled a lot. Grieving over the loss of my dad… Grieving over the loss of our fur baby, Wally… Revamping my jewelry business… Going through our fertility journey…
And so much more!
I’m excited to get back to the things that I loved to do. One of those things is getting back into blogging.
Until next time my friends, I will talk to you soon 💋
Have you started thinking about outfits as we start preparing for those holiday galas, work events, New Year’s Eve or family holiday events?
I haven’t either. I don’t know about all you women out there, but I like to start with my shoes then work my way up to the actual outfit.
There are so many gorgeous styles of heels to choose from. You can go the affordable route or splurge on designer heels. Right now I want to show you 5 stunning evening shoes that will guarantee you will get compliments for days. And the best part…they look expensive, but are affordable.
All of these evening shoes can be purchased on Amazon.
Cape Robbin Stiletto Heels
These heels are absolutely stunning. They are very much on trend with the vibrant red color and jewel tone heels. They are 4 1/2 inches. If you love stiletto heels, these are a must have at only $39.99
Betsy Johnson Nobble Pump
I love these champagne color pumps because they are so classy looking, but the pop of gold heel gives it a festive look. These heels are 4.25 inches. They are a little bit pricey at $79.66, but after your event you can still wear them. You can dress these pumps with an event attire or keep it casual and dress it up a bit with these heels.
Elisabet Tang Sparkly Stiletto
These for me will always be a must have. These heels are a bit on the higher side at 4.7 inches and are $56.99. There are other sparkly heel options with lower heels.
Vince Camuto Andrequa
I don’t know what it is about these heels, but it definitely gives me sexy vibes. These heels are 4 1/2 inches and are a bit pricey at $71.40.
Vertundy Asymmetric Lace Bow Heels
And last but not least, these heels have been popular for some time now. If you’re a recent bride such as myself…if you know, you know. Definitely a statement shoes that you need for all the girly girls. These heels are 3.14 inches at $49.99
I hope you all agree that these heels are stunners.
In honor of National Donut Day, I wanted to share my coconut vegan donut recipe with you all. The best part…it’s an easy recipe.
Here’s what you need:
1 cup Flour
1/2 cup Sugar
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1 tsp Almond extract
1/2 cup Coconut milk
1 tsp Baking powder
Pure coconut oil melted
Coconut flakes
1 tbsp Vegan butter melted (preferably almond)
1 tbsp Apple sauce
Glaze
2 tsp coconut milk
Confectioner sugar
1 tsp Almond extract
Let’s get started…
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray donut pan with coconut spray or canola oil spray, then set aside.
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
In a separate bowl mix the wet ingredients… coconut milk, applesauce, almond extract and melted butter.
Start mixing in the dry mixture into the wet mixture
Pour the batter into the donut pan
Bake in the oven for 8-10 mins.
While baking, let’s make the glaze. Pour one cup of confectioner sugar in a bowl, then add the tsp of almond extract and tsp of coconut milk. Mix until all blended together. You’ll need to add the second tsp of coconut milk because you want a syrupy consistency.
So now you have two options with your donuts: you can leave the donut baked and begin to dip it in the glaze while still warm, then dip into the coconut flakes…
Or you can place the donut in a heated coconut oil. This option gives you more of a traditional tasting donut. Once removed, follow the same directions as above for topping.
