It's also the perfect dish to make if your kitchen is under construction like mine was for this video. It's a cold dish so nothing to heat up. 

First, mix together two cans of drained whole-kernel corn, two cups of mexican blend cheese, one cup of light mayo, diced red pepper, pepper and a bit of cilantro in a bowl. Then, add crushed Chili Cheese Fritos and mix well. Serve and enjoy!

This is my favorite way to make a regular drink feel fancy! Sprinkle a little edible glitter in a silicone mold and fill with water and freeze. When it melts, your drink will be cute and sparkly.

My drink today is two ounces of bourbon, one ounce of peach syrup, lemon juice and club soda! Stir and watch it sparkle.

First, either make or purchase cupcakes with green frosting. My kitchen was under construction for this video, so I purchased mine. But you can easily make your own and even use the grass piping tip to make grass. 

Then I found these golf-tee toothpicks. Place one in each cupcake. 

Then use cookie icing to secure a white chocolate truffle to each of the tees. 

Allow the icing to harden, serve and enjoy!

Spring 2022 Fashion Finds from Express

Today I’m sharing what I loved from my recent spring fashion haul from Express. I am loving some of the spring fashion trends for 2022! Express has some great spring pieces from monochromatic blazers and shorts to blue and white trapeze dresses. Here are some of my favorite fashion finds for spring 2022!

As a reminder, I share midsize fashion. I am typically a size large or a 10/12. I am also 5’5″ for reference.

Speaking of spring and summer, check out these swimsuit finds for under $50!

Spring 2022 Fashion Finds from Express

Monochromatic Sets

blue blazer and shorts from Spring 2022 Fashion Finds from Express

First up is this adorable monochromatic short, blazer and bodysuit combination. I have been loving the short and blazer trend in spring 2022. I love that people have been pulling together these brightly colored monochromatic pieces to create fun, but tailored looks. I have also been loving this bright blue for spring. So I purchased these tailored shorts, this scoop bodysuit and a boyfriend blazer all in danish blue. I am wearing a large in everything and it fits true-to-size.

While I like all three pieces a lot, and I really love them together, the shorts are my favorite of the pieces I purchased. I am definitely getting the shorts in more colors. I can see myself wearing them all spring and summer in so many outfit combinations.

Fun tops

I love the color of this faux wrap peplum top. The cut is incredibly flattering and the pink is just perfect for spring. I really think this would be a flattering color on anyone. I paired it here with jeans, but you could pair it with a pencil skirt, or even white denim. I am wearing a large and it fits true-to-size.

floral top from Spring 2022 Fashion Finds from Express

The next top is this floral print, ruffle tie, peplum top. I wanted to love this one so much, but honestly, the fit is not great for me. I have a very long torso and it just kind of cut me weird. I also think this would be great for my smaller-chested friends, but it was not my favorite. So, unfortunately, I am returning this one, but I think it would be so cute on a different body type. I am wearing a large and I do say it runs true-to-size, it’s just not for me.

black off shoulder from Spring 2022 Fashion Finds from Express

To be a satin, off-the-shoulder crop top, this top is surprisingly flattering even for a curvy girl like me. I paired it with high-waisted jeans so I didn’t feel over-exposed, and I was actually pretty comfortable in this fit. I said in my reel that I am going to return it, mostly because I don’t really have anywhere to wear it, but I am kind of on the fence. Maybe I will make a date night with Stephen so I have an excuse. I am wearing a large and it runs true to size.

Wedding Guest Dresses

printed dress from Spring 2022 Fashion Finds from Express

I am loving blue and white dresses for spring. This sweet, floral trapeze dress is the kind of look I am running to right now at full force. This would be a beautiful dress for a more casual wedding, but I have so many places I am going to wear this. I have baby showers and spring parties, so this dress is going to get a lot of wear. If you live somewhere where it is still a bit colder, you could wear this with a denim jacket. If you are in warmer weather, like me, this is a great stand-alone dress. I am wearing a large and it runs true to size. I did adjust the straps a good bit, but it runs true to size.

Pictures and videos of this hot pink satin cowl-neck dress do not do it justice! This was my favorite piece from my spring haul. I LOVE this dress. It has an asymmetrical hem, adjustable straps, and is such a flattering fit. Again, pics and videos do not do it justice. I can’t wait to wear this to a wedding I have coming up this summer. I am wearing a large and it runs true to size.

What is your favorite spring trend for 2022?Β

I'm saving Ben's 2-year-old portraits for his birthday so that made it a little easier, but every picture Jennifer sent us is just perfection.

Love these two with all my heart. So grateful for this life. πŸ’•
