If I could I would SO buy everything on sale/clearance. I use to be the girl who would spend her entire paycheck on a weekend outfit... Now I try and put most of my "pay check" in the bank. One day my mom showed me how beneficial it was to save + invest my money and since then, I've been more financially efficient. I also saw influencers create amazing looks without wearing full pried items. From then on I knew that I could do the same; it might just take more work (which I'm willing to work for). Below are a few of my favorite SALE items this season. Enjoy!

Hello to that feel good weather! I woke up extremely motivated by the gorgeous weather God blessed us with so I decided to do a quick round up of my fall favorites for under $50! It was SO hard picking just five so I included a bonus piece. Comment below with your favorite!

Are you guys into baker boy hats?! I just bought one the other day and I'm now obsessed. I was hesitant at first but I'm so in love with how well they transition (jeans, skirts, and blazers). I also can not get over all this cheetah print for fall. Everyone's an LSU fan! ;)

Okay guys, another quick and easy recipe that doesn't include (making) a sauce. I know I need to eventually get over my fear of sauces, but that just means more time in the kitchen. I feel like I need to dedicate one day out of the week where I do nothing but test recipes... Thoughts?

I'd also love to know which type of recipes y'all are interested in! For me I like to keep things simple. I love cooking on a regular basis for Garrett and I but I don't want it to take over an hour, make sense?

Ingredients:

• Grape or cherry tomatoes
• Quinoa (2/3 of a bag)
• Two boneless chicken breasts
• Balsamic vinaigrette (I used a little more than half the bottle)
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350
• I prefer to let my chicken breast soak up the balsamic vinaigrette over night, using 1/3 of the bottle
• Start by cooking the quinoa and cutting the grape or cheery tomatoes in halves
• Once the chicken is baked, place the chicken in a chopper
• Mix the chicken in with the quinoa, salt and pepper
• Add 1/4 vinaigrette into the chicken and quinoa, mix
• Add in your tomatoes and enjoy!

You guys! Halloween is only 22 days away and I haven't decorated a single thing in my house yet. I did however, manage to shoot two different Halloween looks by October 2nd because #PRIORITIES! I really do enjoy expressing creativity so I love going all-out when it comes to my Halloween costumes. Is Halloween your favorite holiday?! Mine is actually the Fourth of July but Halloween takes a close 2nd.

Michelle, with Beso Makeup, has done my Halloween makeup for the last 4 years. She is extremely talented and a true artist. She also happens to be one of the sweetest #bossbabes I know. This year I wanted to serve up a scary but also affordable look, not joking. Get it?! My jumpsuit can be found here for less than $40 bucks + my shoes are under $80 (which I don’t think is that bad because you can wear them all winter long)! Don’t forget to book your Halloween makeup appointment and check out Beso's Instagram page!

I've been spending a lot of time in the kitchen trying to come up with easy yet delicious meals that don't take forever to make. For some reason creating a sauce just isn't my forte so if there's something that I can whip up without one, I'm all in.

I've also been making a ton of meals that include ground turkey meat and cheese; so what else comes to mind in an oven baked dish other than a hamburger helper?! Avocado is a favorite of mine however shell noodles is something I try and steer clear of, carbs! The shell noodles were a nice change up plus I posted a photo of the exact brand I used below.

My mom wasn't the best cook growing up but she was one heck of a baker so any type of baked dish is no big deal for me, luckily! If you're a college kid or just a meal prep monster, this recipe is spot on for you! Recipe listed below.

Ingredients:

• Lean ground turkey meat - 1 packet
• Diary free cheese (I used 3/4 of the bag)
• Shell pasta - 1 box
• 2-3 Avocados (wished I would have used 3!)
• Salt and pepper
• Any type of cajun seasoning - I prefer spicy

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350
• Start by cooking your ground turkey meat and shell noodles on the stove at a medium heat (I like my noodles *slightly* under cooked)
• Salt and pepper the ground turkey meat
• While you break apart your meat with a spatula, coat baking dish with coconut oil
• Cut your 2-3 avocado's into chunky pieces
• Once the noodles and ground turkey meat have cooked, place ingredients into columns
• Bake for 12-15 minutes
• Season with a cajun blend and enjoy!

What's pictured below may not be the prettiest but everything that's good is not always appealing to the eyes! :)
