It’s officially fall which in my book means several things, but one aspect in particular gets me excited – pumpkins, spice, and everything nice! The fall flavors and scents give me all the cozy vibes and Miami temperatures aside I’m feeling the seasonal transition full-on. And I’ve been celebrating in all the best ways – […]

Omg December is flying by!!! I absolutely adore Christmas. Everything about it. Especially the baking and the cookies. I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to share this post – things down here have been in full swing between Basel and the holidays and life.
