winter weather necessities

When winter first arrived, I thought for sure we were going to have a milder season. It's taken a cold turn recently with the snow storm we had a few weeks ago and the single digit temperatures we've had over the past few days. I thought now is as good of a time as any to share my winter weather necessities!

valentine's day chocolate desserts

Cheesecake Swirl Brownies // Molten Chocolate Espresso Cakes // Chocolate Meringue Cake with Fresh Berries // Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Oreo Pie // Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Cake // Cranberry Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies

The last Valentine's post for the week is probably my favorite. I love baking and desserts and chocolate so of course this weekend would be one of the best times to combine the three {not like there's ever a bad time} and whip something up. I've been looking around for some inspiration and these caught my eye immediately. Some are light and airy, some are fruity and creamy, and the rest are intense and decadent. None will disappoint!

If you follow me on Instagram {@sheriann_}, you may see what I end up baking for Sunday!

simple & sweet valentine's makeup look

Valentine's Day is this weekend and you may be hurrying to finalize plans and buy gifts so makeup should be the last thing you think about. I decided to try my hand at another makeup look - something simple and sweet with a little bit of pink for Valentine's Day. It's so quick and easy that you could wear this every day and is perfect as a work look! Love when things play double duty...

If you want a list of the products I used in the video, you can find it on YouTube!

favorite five: valentine's gifts for the single girl

So Valentine's Day is coming up this weekend and I've been seeing a ton of gift guides around the blogging and YouTube world. I am in that percentage of people that doesn't have a significant other to buy something for, but you know what? That doesn't mean I, and all you other single people out there, shouldn't treat yourself to something nice! I took a gander around things on the internet and chose five of my favorite gifts for the single girl.

{Also, this is my 143 post! Remember when '143' was a thing? I felt that was appropriate to mention with Valentine's Day coming up!}

50 facts about me

One of the great things about blogging is being able to share bits and pieces of life with all of you. The thing is, I haven't actually shared that much about me. I've seen this type of video on YouTube several times and thought that it couldn't be that hard {lies, it's more difficult than you think} and filmed it for you!

So here it is! 50 facts about me that I'm sharing with you...
