Although this season looks a little different and there aren’t many places to go or parties to attend, you don’t have to skip out on wearing what I consider to be a wardrobe staple this season: The Sweater Dress. There are many styles of sweater dresses that fit almost every occasion. I happen to own a few different styles that I’ll be sharing with you today. I also found a ton of similar styles that you can shop below that are under $100, so if you’re like me and enjoy having options, click the product widget below to shop!

GROUND TURKEY SWEET POTATO SKILLET

I love starting a new week off right by preparing a quick, easy, and healthy meal. In my world, it really sets the tone for the entire week and keeps me on track with my productivity, health, and wellness goals. This week, my top meal is this super delicious Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet! I love sweet potatoes and try to incorporate them as much as possible in my weekly meals. I don’t just reserve this sweet vegetable for dessert. I enjoy mixing them up in my breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals too!

Since the last few months have consisted of me doing quite a bit of online shopping, I figure it’s only right for me to start sharing all of the great finds I’ve come across. If you’ve noticed, I’ve been sharing quite a bit of my favorite online finds lately. Amazon, especially, has been one of my ‘Go-to’ online shopping destinations for a lot of my essential items.

EASY APPLE CIDER SANGRIA

Apple cider has to be one of my favorite fall drinks and with it being the holiday season, it’s only right to put a twist to it by making it a cocktail. I love this drink before dinner with a light snack and it’s also really good along side a a slice of apple pie or any cobbler as a dessert.

EASY FALL CHARCUTERIE BOARD

One of my favorite memories as child when visiting my grandparents was observing my granny’s down time. I can remember spending a quiet Saturday afternoon with her as she prepared to watch her ‘cowboy shows’ (Western Tv shows). This was all after grandpa finished watching Soul Train of course, lol.
