Pumpkin Ricotta Muffin Recipe

Written with love, by Jennifer Dene

It's hard to believe that Fall has started, and we'll be swapping our workout shorts for jackets and sweatpants! Take advantage of the cooler weather to spend time in your kitchen preparing healthy meals and snacks for the busy work week ahead.

These ricotta and pumpkin muffins are one of my favorite healthy recipes, for a grab-and-go breakfast, or a hearty snack. Filled with protein and vegetables, they are a must-add to your bridal meal plan.

The Bridal Boutique | Bridal Hair Extensions from Lush Hair Extensions

Short hair or long hair, curly or straight, some of the most gorgeous bridal hair styles you see out there just take a lot of hair - a lot of hair that most people don't have. So today we are so excited to be featuring some amazing hair extensions from a company we love, Lush Hair Extensions.

For those of you with short hair, you may want a hairstyle that can only be done with long hair, and that's where extensions come into play. And even if you have long hair, that full, voluptuous look can often times only be achieved with extensions.. So I put Lush Hair Extensions to the test and they were more amazing that I had imagined! 

All I did was send a simple photo of my hair and seriously, it was a perfect match! Scroll down to see some of the amazing before and afters and if you are looking for some amazing bridal hair extensions, these are totally the way to go! And I've done all of the research for you :)

The Perfect Groom’s Gift: Make your groom feel as special as the bride!

Sponsored with love, by JORD

You spent weeks searching for the most gorgeous dress that fit your vision perfectly, spent hundreds of dollars on that stunning cathedral length veil, and picked out the perfect accessories to add a little bling to your attire.

And then there's your groom...he probably spent an hour (if that) choosing the suit or tux to wear on this special day and that was that. I get it, your future hubby may not seem as "into it" as you are but you want him to feel as special as you feel. Weddings are very bride-centered but without your second half, there's no wedding. That's all there is to it.

You've just spent $15,000 on your wedding day, so why do we need to spend even more on gifts for each other the morning of the wedding? The answer is that you don't! You absolutely don't have to exchange gifts if you don't want to but in my eyes, something to make the groom feel special, just as special as you feel, is a great way to start off your marriage. Because remember, it takes two to tango, and it takes two to marriage.

So I think that getting the groom a special accessory for the wedding day is such a great way to make him feel just as handsome as you feel beautiful. Whether you pick out that special accessory together as you choose his attire or you surprise him on the wedding day with that special gift to wear, we think that these men's wooden watches from JORD are just perfect!

And who can say no to a cool, unique watch to wear for years to come even after the wedding day? It's the perfect gift, the perfect accessory, and the perfect keepsake.
