This last weekend Taylor's family invited us to go to Santa Barbara with them. Even though I was recovering from the stomach flu and Taylor had to work a night shift the next day, we decided to tag along. There was no way we were going to let a free vacation slip through our fingers. It was just what we needed before the hectic week ahead. The resort was beautiful, the food was amazing, and the town was perfect. There is nothing I love more than sunny skies, trolly rides, and state street adventures. Thanks for the good memories SB. See you soon!

xoxo, Carly

Got a sweet tooth you just can't satisfy?

I know how hard it is (being a sugarholic) to eat 1..or 2.. or 3... or 8 calorie filled treats and feel immediately guilty afterward. Why does chocolate taste so good!? To help curve your craving, try my Skinny Strawberry Sorbet with my favorite Homemade Granola.

Homemade Granola:

2 tbsp Sliced Almonds
1 tbsp Chia Seeds
6-8 Organic Banana Chips
Handful of cornflakes
2 tbsp of Oats

Place ingredients in blender and blend to desired texture. (I like mine powdery).

If you are using a Nutri-bullet, be careful, it blends up pretty quickly. You might want to pulse instead of puree.

It should come out looking something like this:

Skinny Strawberry Sorbet:

8-10 Frozen Strawberries

1/4 cup Coconut or Regular Water

2 squirts Lemon Juice (optional)

1/2 cup of Ice (add more as desired)

1 tbsp Honey

1. Freeze 8-10 Strawberries

2. Measure out Water and Lemon Juice

3. Pour all contents into blender

4. Add ice as desired for thickness

Your Skinny Sorbet should come out looking something like this:

Now mix the two together and you'll be in for a sweet treat.

Feel free to save your extra Granola to enjoy with some greek yogurt later this week. It can be stored in your cabinet or your fridge! For some an extra sweet kick, add some shredded coconut to the batch. Happy Healthy Eating!

XOXO, CK

As many of you know I am surrounded by talented people who graciously take my picture. This week my best friend Emma asked me if I would help her with a personal project. She wanted to experiment with her style and dive into uncharted waters. I decided to hop on board and be her rocker chick for the evening. Who cares if everyone was staring at me like I was a freak? Life is about taking risks.

XOXO, CK

We had so much fun this New Year's Eve at Disneyland!! We decided to use up our wedding gift Hopper tickets before the end of the year. Even though it was totally crowded, we still managed to take a picture in front of a Christmas tree, eat churros, attend Monsters University, watch the parade, and eat some frozen desert. Can't wait to spend more of this next year with my handsomest hubby.

xoxo Happy New Year

My wedding day was the most amazing day of my life.

Our reception was under a blanket of oak trees strung in white lights.

It was full of burlap, mason jars, flowers, candles, pictures, vintage street lamps,

lanterns, lace, and precious memories.

My Aunt and cousin (who are wedding fairies) were kind enough to come down

from Arizona and decorate my entire reception.

Sure it took DAYS of preparation to make my dream wedding a reality,

But it was beyond worth it.

Unfortunately there isn't a ton of pictures of all the decor,

And the pictures do not nearly do it justice.

But here it is!

Keep an eye out for our cake.

It was the most delicious and beautiful thing to ever touch my taste buds.

About a month ago, my MIL convinced us that it would be fun to go to a Montana wedding. Boy was she right. The wedding was held at a cute old school building in the middle of the country. It made me wish I grew up in a town that had something other than buildings. I was completely mesmerized by all the cows and I found myself playing with them for about 30 minutes. There was burlap, hay, cupcakes, and rain. It was absolutely perfect.

Thank you Montana! && Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Hill!

Before I was married I guess I was "Single?" My last night as a single lady, my girlfriends took me out for a night I'll never forget. First, we ate dinner over the most gorgeous view at Duke's Malibu. It was full of laughs, Strawberry Mojito Mocktails, and all the lingerie in the world! Then my MOH surprised us with a little game. We had to hand out stickers (Best eyes, nicest smile, strongest pecks, worst dancer, etc.) to random guys we saw on the boardwalk. We strutted our stuff and almost broke our necks multiple times. Finally we finished off with what every soon to be bride needs: a milk shake. I absolutely love these dolls and want to thank them for the best girls night ever.

Thanks ladies

xoxo, Carly
