This has been the week of building a spring wardrobe! If you haven’t already started, this is a great time to ensure you have all the basics you need for the spring season.

This black dress is a fabulous basic for the spring season; and it will work for summer and fall too! It’s a comfortable and easy to wash fabric, plus it has a flattering drape on most body types. The silhouette allows this dress to be worn casually with a basket bag and sandals, or dressed up with block heel slides and a baguette for dinner. It is also a great dress for travel since it is so versatile. I love mine, and plan to wear it throughout the spring, summer, and fall seasons!

Black IT bags are hot right now! IT bags from the 1990s are on fire right now, as well as this ’90’s inspired Prada bag. By the way, this Prada bag has been sold out for months, but it is currently in stock here. If you have been trying to get your hands on one, do it now! I love mine so much. It’s lightweight, comfortable on the shoulder or forearm, and ultra chic. Love!

Easy potato wedges recipe

Easy potato wedges recipe you can bake in the oven! My kids love French Fries, and anything made from potatoes. That is why these potato wedges are such a hit in my household! They are like wide-cut fries, but healthier and yummier. Love!

Baked potato wedges make a great side dish for a wide variety of entree’s. Basically, if you are thinking of French Fries, or any potato dish, these baked potato wedges will work perfectly; and kids will love them.

These easy to make potato wedges only require three potatoes, a cutting board, a baking pan, and an oven! You don’t have to be a chef to make these, they are super easy!

So, without further ado, here is how to make baked potato wedges.

What you need:

  • Baking pan or sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Potato peeler
  • Cutting board
  • Knife or mezzaluna

Ingredients:

  • 3 russet potatoes
  • Salt
  • Paprika
  • Basil
  • Oregano
  • Parmesan Cheese

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel your potatoes. Using a sharp knife or a mezzaluna, cut the potatoes into small wedges. Line the wedges on the parchment paper (see photo below). Sprinkle basil, then oregano, then paprika, grated parmesan cheer, and finally salt over the potatoes. Voila! They are ready to bake!

Bake your potato wedges for 35 minutes at 400 degrees. This recipe will serve six people as a side dish. If you need to serve more people, add potatoes. One potato serves two people.

That’s it! These potato wedges are super easy to make, and they are delicious. I hope you enjoy them!

Spring is official this upcoming weekend! If you haven’t already updated your makeup bag, skin care routine, and hair care-it’s time!

Makeup for spring uses bright versions of classic hues, which offer a timeless yet cheery look for the warm weather season. Love that! I’m crushing on this bright and sparkling red nail polish, as well as this bright yet timeless lipstick hue.

Spring skin care

spring skin care routine

Spring skin care from top left: neck cream / face cream / eye cream / anti-aging serum / hand cream / body butter / eau de parfum (ok, not technically skin care but makes skin smell good-so it’s related, right?? haha) (review here)

The spring season is when skin care starts to change. As temperatures warm up, we need to make sure our skin is getting the attention it needs. I love making sure I have spf in my face cream, as well as ensuring I am keeping my skin tone even as the sun starts to give me a base tan.

I also love this body butter to ensure my skin is properly moisturized. Also, this hand cream is fabulous; especially with all the hand washing we do these days!

Spring hair care

Spring hair care from left: conditioner / shampoo / oil treatment / hair dryer /

My hair has been dry and brittle, so I switched up my shampoo! I have been using this shampoo and conditioner for two weeks now, and I already notice a difference. My hair is getting healthier and less brittle. Love that!

Also a huge fan of this oil treatment and hair dryer. If you are going to splurge on anything, this hair dryer is worth every penny. It is so gentle on the hair; yet it does the job quickly! Love it!
