If you’re SE Asian like me, you know that larb is a staple dish at any family gatherings, parties, weddings and funerals, etc. AND if you’re a girl, you know we are the ones responsible for shredding green onions for this dish. Shredding green onions make you cry and not so cute looking. Long and behold, I walked into Daiso and was astonished that they have a green onion slicer!! It’s made my job a lot easier and I’ve bought almost every Hmong girl I know one. Trust me, it’s much faster and efficient! Definitely something cool to have as part of your kitchen tools. You can find one similar on Amazon here.

Today is the #firstdayoffall🍁 and we’re kicking off by sharing recipes that put us in the fall mood.

Fall made me crave chocolate and I made a layered cake for the first time this weekend and it turned out amazing! I don’t have a lot of space in my kitchen so I picked up a hand mixer @target + googled a recipe = voila ➡️ Yummy chocolate 🎂 for my friend’s birthday. Share your fave fall recipes with us all week! 😋

I was excited to learn a while back that @chrissyteigen and @quayaustralia were collaborating on some sunnies. So when the line was available, I purchased a pair of blue light glasses, the ALL NIGHTER. If you’re like me and sit in front of a computer all day, grab a pair so you can look stylish and protect your eyes at the same time.

I think I have finally admitted to myself that summer is over and fall is officially here. The air is getting chilly, it’s getting darker sooner, and I’ve already had two pumpkin spice lattes this week 🤷‍♀️

I know it’s only a matter of time before I need to break out my favorite jacket from Uniqlo. This packable down jacket is my best friend. It’s comfy, light, warm and so cozy. It’s versatile for both chilly and super cold days. It also packs in to a tiny bag for travel, which is great for when i fly during the holidays to visit my family on the east coast ❄️

True story, I love this jacket so much that I actually own two. One in size L for when I’m feeling a sleeker look, and the other in XL for when I want something cozy 💜

With new iPhones coming out, I started shopping around for new phone plans too. I came across this @tmobile-official deal for TWO lines for $55/month! Unlimited data, text and talk! Small catch, one of the lines has to belong to someone over 55 years old. Signed up for this for my mom and I yesterday. Amazing cell phone deal for a solid national network. Excited to use it with my new iPhone!

I heard and read some really good reviews about the new smashboxcosmetics Studio Skin Full Coverage 24 Hour Foundation, so I decided to pick it up from sephora this weekend. I generally only wear concealer on my face, other than my facial products, so I was concerned about the “full” coverage and wearing way too much #makeup. I have used it for 2 days applying just a little bit of the foundation with my beauty blender. It blends well, does not smear after it sets (and sweating thru Zumba) and provides enough coverage. I like the texture and how my skin still can breathe after using the product.

Before I had my first child 8 months ago, I always told myself I would never co-sleep with my baby. I was going to establish a sleep routine right off the bat that did not include a baby in bed with us. Welp, fast forward to present day and that could not be farther from my current life. Our baby wakes up at least once a night and will not go back to sleep unless we bring him in to our bed. 🤦‍♀️

When I researched co-sleepers, I was shocked at the price tag associated with the top name brands. Dock-a-tot’s Grande model (for Stage 2/ 9 months + babies) starts at $275! With a little effort, I was able to find an alternative for a fraction of the cost. Cubby Cove Infant Lounger starts at around $120 and we LOVE it. Breathable mesh fabric, portable, durable, and super cozy. The Cubby Cove was created by a group of parents and entrepreneurs in the US looking to develop a better, safer and more affordable baby lounger. This is one of my top recommends for new parents looking to save a little money while not sacrificing in quality.

Ever look in the mirror at the end of the day and wonder where your eye shadow went?! I ❤️ this Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion because it helps my eye makeup stay put all day long. My lazy girl cheat is they come in pretty shimmery neutrals so I use it as eye shadow too. 😉 Macy’s is having 15% off beauty today (code: VIP)!

I’ve been traveling a lot these last few months. Everyone who knows me know that I travel light, organized and fast. As I usually do not unpack all my clothes and gear when I check into my hotel room, these packing cubes have been essential in organization, reducing clutter, and making packing and unpacking super easy. Another plus is that all of these items fit perfectly in my carryon suitcase! Link in bio!

I have a confession to make. I am a skin care junkie. I have piles of half-full and unopened jars of creams, moisturizers, serums and cleansers scattering my bathroom counter. So, when I actually buy something and FINISH the bottle, you know it’s good stuff. I've purchased two bottles of Bioderma micellar water and I'm hooked.

As a busy new mom, I don't have time for 12-step skin cleansing routines. Lately, in the evenings, I simply soak a cotton ball or cloth with this delightful liquid and massage my face. I get instant gratification washing all of the day's dirt and grime from my face. The liquid leaves my face soft and rejuvenated - without a filmy residue. Perfect for all skin types. Happy cleansing, friends!

Confession: My first bottle I bought at a pharmacy in France. I thought I was discovering a rare gem (LOL). Little did I know, it's available on Amazon!

Ever see overnight oats on Pinterest and think ‘I can do that!’  You can! I used these cute wide mouth mason jars from Target. Recipe:

- Fill the jar with some oatmeal (add optional tummy friendly items like chia seeds or flax seeds)

- Cover the oatmeal with milk (or soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk...)

- Add seasonal fruits cut up in small pieces

- Optional: Add thin layer of yogurt

- Add 2nd layer of fruit

- Optional: Top with honey and/or nuts

- Put it in the fridge overnight
