Black and Gray with a Pop of Red for the New Year Holiday

We're only a couple days away from the New Year and I couldn't be more excited! There are a lot of fun things happening and I especially can't wait to go on my trip to Asia for Chinese New Year! 

There's also something about the holidays and this time of year in general that just makes me feel a little girlier than usual too (for me at least) and it gave me a chance to finally wear this Levi's Plaid Jacket I bought in the end of summer during the Nordstrom #NSale! 

How to Stay Motivated During Dark Winter Days

With Winter here in the PNW, the days have just become darker earlier and earlier. I don't know about you but this type of weather definitely makes me feel less motivated and all I want to do is cuddle up in my warm blanket by the fireplace! It also doesn't help if you live in an area that is getting colder and wetter or nearly freezing (hello Seattle!). Today, I'm sharing a few tips on how to stay motivated during this season as fall turns into winter and the days become colder and darker.

Casual in Olive Green and Cherry Red

Happy Friday to you all! Today's outfit post features some old favorite pieces that I still wear to this day. I'm also adding a touch of festive-ness since I'm wearing green and red (or at least color variations of them!) which I thought was appropriate to share for the Christmas holiday coming up this weekend =)

Dip and Sip with TaZa Design

*This post is not sponsored but I did receive the products mentioned below. I am not getting paid to write this review; all thoughts and opinions are strictly my own. Thank you for supporting the companies and brands that make KFC Loves You possible!

I was recently sent a couple of the TaZa Dip and Sip Stainless Steel Straws in their Slim & Straight and Extra Wide & Angled styles. I was intrigued about this product when they approached me mainly because of their mission behind their product; reducing the use of single-use plastic straws by using reusable, stainless steel straws to protect Mother Nature. I am a big proponent of recycling and composting and anything I can do to help the planet, no matter how small, I will do my best to do so!

Navy Blue Stormy Rain Boots

Haven't posted an outfit post in a while (sorry guys!) but here's from about a month back. It is definitely WAY too cold to wear shorts out now, even with tights, but I love this look and I wear everything in rotation in this outfit (minus the shorts!), especially these Jeffrey Campbell 'Stormy' rain boots!

Long Hair Series Part 2 || Daily Hair Care

Hey everyone! My apologies in advance for the untimely posts. I recently started a new job (yay!) but it has my schedule thrown off just a bit so I’m trying to catch up and get myself organized! Today I’m sharing part 2 of my long hair series that covers my daily hair routine! I’ll be discussing what I do to take care of it and products I use on a daily basis.
