You can make donuts using biscuit dough! I used regular and chocolate chip biscuit dough here. 

Directions:
1. Take your biscuit dough out of the tubes and use a round cookie cutter (or any small round glass) to cut a hole in the middle. Put the center dough to the side.
2. Spray your air fryer with cooking spray.
3. Put as many donuts in the air fryer that will fit your appliance. If you have the Instant Pot/Air Fryer, I did three at a time.
4. Fry the donuts for 6 minutes flipping halfway through. So three minutes, then flip, and three more minutes.
5. Take them out and add your icing!
6. You can use the middle pieces to make donut holes.

Let's make the easiest clam cookies for summer par Let's make the easiest clam cookies for summer parties! These would go well with the crabby chicken salad croissants I shared a few weeks ago. 

To make these, add icing the the back of a Nilla wafer. Place a second cookie on top allowing the front to be open while the backs are touching. Add candy eyes or pearls to the icing. 

You can make these in lots of colors. I was feeling pink, but blue or purple is totally on theme for a mermaid party or a "let's shell-a-brate" party!

2018 Holiday Gift Guide: For the Travel Gal


It’s time for another gift guide! This week’s is a gift guide for the travel gal!

I’ve put together a collection of gifts that are perfect for the girl that is always on the go–that friend or family member who is constantly jetting off somewhere cool. You know the one. The girl that always has a fun and exotic Instagram feed, or the flight attendant who spends a lot of time in the air.

Some of these gifts are practical, and some are just plain cute, but all are great for the jet-setter. You can check out the opposite gift guide for the homebody here.

Let’s get to it!
travel gift guide

 

  1. 10 Piece Travel Container Set – I own this set and I love it! If you travel with a lot of products like I do, this set is perfect because you don’t have to stuff your quart size bag with 3 oz bottles when you’re going to use a dollop here and a squeeze there. I feel a little bit like a mad scientist when I’m measuring out my jars, but it’s totally worth it. When I get home, I just throw them in the dishwasher.
  2. 4 Pack Travel Bags – How cute are these?? Perfectly labeled for hair dryers, shoes, laundry and delicates. Your suitcase will love you for separating out these items and keeping it clean and dry.
  3. Lilah b’s Aglow Face Mist – Plane skin sucks. Being at that high of an altitude drys out the skin. This travel face mist is a perfect spritz of hydration to save your pretty skin.
  4. Airplane Mode Sweatshirt (Grey, White) – Is this not the cutest sweatshirt? How perfect is this for a freezing plane ride. It comes in three colors and is so cozy.
  5. Cosmopolitan Marble Carry-On Suitcase – I have this suitcase too and it fits perfectly in an overhead compartment. It’s a little smaller that a regular carry-on but I love it for short trips.
  6. Passport Cover (Available for weekends) – Obviously every travel gal needs a cute passport holder!
  7. Vera Bradley Weekender Bag – My all time favorite bag. I have it in blue, but I love this raspberry color. It fits all your things. Literally so many things. The storage is insane.
  8. 18 Piece Emergency Kit – I’m all about being prepared. This kit contains everything you need for a trip including: a headphone splitter, adhesive bandages, safety pins, a mending kit, clear elastics, blister balm, a nail clipper, blister bandages, electrolyte tablets, anti-diarrheal medication, antacids, a phone/tablet stand, dental floss, pain reliever, an emery board, breath drops, stain remover and hand cleaner. I mean come on, who doesn’t need this?
  9. Tartan + Twine Basics Clear Train Case – This is great to organize your make-up and toiletries while you’re travelling! Plus it’s clear so you can find everything you need.
  10. Eyelash Sleep Mask – While you try to get used to a time change where the light is weird, or a plane/train that’s never dark enough, a sleep mask is always a great gift.
  11. Watercolor Wanderlust Watch – This is the most beautiful watch and perfect for a travelling pal. I love the watercolor world painting on the watch face.
  12. Travel Jewelry Case  – This is such a practical gift. I never travel without mine and the color is adorable!
  13. Luggage Tag – Every basic suitcase needs a luggage tag. Plus if your luggage gets lost, you’ll be glad you had one!
  14. GoPro HERO7 – A GoPro is a perfect gift for your adventurous friend. They will be able to capture all of their memories and omg moments!
  15. Packing Cubes – I have the grey flamingo cubes, but these come in lots of colors. These are amazing and make packing in a carry-on a breeze. I love organizing all my stuff into easy compartments.

    The passport cover is very pretty. Sad that I don’t use anything made of leather :(. The emergency-kit is an absolute life-saver. Really appreciate that you’ve meticulously jotted down these essential items for frequent travelers. Thanks for sharing.

    Oh my gosh that airplane mode sweatshirt is too cute! I am also all about sleep masks, I’ve never used one on a flight but I love them at home (:

    These are all such great items! I’m loving all that pink. However, I’d just love someone to help me pay for my passport this Christmas so I can finally go overseas! They’re such an annoying expense to add on top of travelling ?
