5 Ways to Use Leftover Strawberries

If you’ve ever found yourself with a handful of strawberries that are just starting to look a little too soft, don’t toss them just yet. Those perfectly imperfect berries are actually bursting with flavor—perfect for adding a little cozy magic to your day.

Here are 5 lazy-day-friendly ways to turn those leftover strawberries into something delicious:

1. Smoothie Bowls That Feel Like a Hug in a Bowl

Toss those strawberries into a blender with a banana, a splash of milk (or your fave plant-based option), and a handful of ice. Pour it into a bowl and top with granola, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and maybe a drizzle of honey. It’s like dessert… but breakfast. And it’s so pretty you’ll feel like a food stylist without trying.

2. Freshen Up Your Salad Game

Strawberries in salads? Trust. Slice them up and toss them on mixed greens with a little goat cheese or feta, some chopped nuts (almonds or pecans are ✨chef’s kiss✨), and a light vinaigrette. It’s sweet, savory, and perfect for a lazy lunch on the porch.

3. Layer a Quick Parfait

Got yogurt? You’ve got a parfait. Layer strawberries with vanilla (or strawberry!) yogurt and granola in a jar or cute glass. Great for a cozy snack while watching your comfort show or scrolling in bed. Bonus: it looks adorable.

4. Bake Them into Something Cozy

Muffins, breads, or even strawberry crumble—baking is a mood and leftover berries are perfect for it. Chop ‘em up and fold into pancake batter or bake into a strawberry loaf. Your kitchen will smell like magic, and it’s the best kind of lazy day treat.

5. Make a Small-Batch Jam

A handful of strawberries + a little sugar + lemon juice = instant cozy jam vibes. Simmer it all in a pot until thickened, and spread it on toast or biscuits. You can even swirl it into oatmeal or spoon it over ice cream. Pure strawberry bliss. Whether you’re turning them into something cozy or just finding an excuse to snack a little fancier, leftover strawberries are a lazy day win. 

Got another go-to way to use them? Tag me on IG or drop a comment—I love seeing your magic in action.

Until next time, stay cozy

Adorable Five Below Computer Mouse

Let’s be honest, we’ve all been there. You walk into Five Below for a quick errand, planning to grab just one thing... and somehow, you walk out with an armful of treasures you didn’t even know you needed. That’s exactly what happened to me on my most recent trip.

While wandering through the tech section (because, obviously, you have to check every aisle), I stumbled across the cutest Bluetooth mice I’ve ever seen. And let me tell you, they were so irresistible I couldn’t choose just one.

The first was a sleek, minimalist pink eclipse mouse — clean, simple, and oh-so-chic. The second was pure kawaii perfection: a pink mouse with an adorable little cat figure inside. Yes, you read that right. Inside! How could I possibly leave either of them behind?

The Beauty of Wireless Mice

If you’ve ever worked from home, you know the importance of having tools that make your space functional and cute. A good wireless mouse is one of those small joys that just makes everything easier. No tangled cords, no fuss — just grab it and go.

Whether I’m editing designs, gaming during my downtime, or scrolling through Pinterest for my next big inspo board, having a mouse that’s lightweight, easy to use, and (most importantly) adorable is such a vibe. It’s the perfect little accessory to brighten up your desk and keep you in your happy place.

Giving Them Both a Try

After much internal debate (and by debate, I mean standing in the aisle trying to rationalize buying both), I ended up taking the plunge and bringing them home. Spoiler: No regrets. Both mice are super responsive, comfortable to use, and — bonus — they pair effortlessly with my devices. Plus, they’ve made my workspace look extra cozy.

If you’re on the hunt for cute and practical tech, definitely check your local Five Below for these Bluetooth mice. They’re a steal for the price, and they’re perfect whether you’re working, gaming, or simply scrolling your way to bliss. If you can’t find them at your store, you can grab them here: Pink Eclipse Mouse

Have you seen these in your Five Below, or do you have a go-to favorite find from there? Let me know — I’d love to hear about it!

Okay, so I love trying out different snacks. They're the perfect companion when I'm glued to the couch, binge-watching another season of whatever my current hyperfixation is.

While I was out at Dollar Tree, I spotted this new flavor and knew this little guy was the snack for the night.So... how did it taste?It wasn’t quite as I expected.  It was more so a buttery blueberry? — probably from the marshmallow. I definitely was waiting for that burst of blueberry, like when you bite into your favorite childhood candy or those Sunday morning waffles.

Verdict? I'll give it a 3 out of 5 stars.It got me through the end of the episode, but I didn’t feel fulfilled. It’s not bad, but it’s not great. I probably won't be trying it again.Favorite Moon Pie of all time? Chocolate! For sure.

DIY Money Bouquet: A Thoughtful Gift with a Creative Twist

Looking for a way to wow Mom this year? This money bouquet is beautiful, elegant, and surprisingly fun to make! It looks fancy, but we’re breaking it down step-by-step so you can recreate it with ease.

What You’ll Need:

40–50 crisp dollar bills

Floral wire or pipe cleaners

Hot glue gun (optional)

Artificial roses (foam or silk, 5–7)

Tissue paper or bouquet wrap

Ribbon

Decorative extras (butterfly clip, feather, pearls, etc.)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Fold the bills: Fold each dollar into a pointed petal by making a slight “V” shape or accordion-style fold, then pinch at the bottom and wrap with floral wire to hold.

Layer the petals: Start layering your money petals in a circle, adding each petal like you’re forming a giant flower. Use more wire to connect clusters and shape the bouquet.

Add the roses: Nestle artificial roses in the center, spacing them out evenly. Secure with glue or tuck into the bouquet tightly.

Build volume: Keep adding bills around the outside until it looks full and lush. Mix in greenery or small accents if you’d like!

Wrap it up: Wrap the whole bouquet in tissue or bouquet paper, add ribbon, and give it a little fluff to make everything pop.

Finishing touches: Add a butterfly clip, some pearl pins, or a cute feather for a magical little touch.

Gift it to Mom—or anyone who deserves to feel spoiled. It’s thoughtful, fun, and a creative way to give money that feels extra special.

Regrow Green Onions Like Magic

Let’s talk green onions. Yeah, those random grocery staples that end up on top of baked potatoes and in your stir fry. What if I told you… you could regrow them right on your windowsill with almost no effort?

🧪 The Lazy Day Project Vibe:

This is one of those zero-stress, high-reward little experiments I tried during a “me moment” while the kids were asleep. I didn’t need soil, just a glass, some scraps, and a windowsill. And guess what? It worked.

What You’ll Need:

A handful of green onions (with roots still on)

A small glass or jar

Tap water

A sunny-ish windowsill

Your effortlessly curious self

What To Do:

Chop like you normally would, but leave about 1–2 inches above the roots.

Drop those ends in a jar and fill it with water just enough to cover the roots (don’t drown them).

Let the sun do its thing – Place the jar on your windowsill.

Change the water every 1–2 days to keep it fresh and clean.

What Happens Next?

Within a few days, you’ll start to see those little greens reaching for the sky. You can snip and use as needed—and they’ll keep coming back for more. It’s giving: ✨sustainable ✨low effort ✨a lil' bit magical.

Why I Keep Doing This:

It saves money

It makes my kitchen feel alive

Try it on your next lazy day...

Whether you’ve got five minutes to yourself, a nap window to fill, or just wanna try something that doesn’t scream “productivity,” this one’s for you.

Let me know if you try it—and tag me in your green onion growth chronicles!

The Ultimate Pyro's Pizza Creation: A Flavor Explosion

Let’s talk about one of my favorite indulgences: pizza. When it comes to crafting the perfect pie, Pyro's Fire Fresh Pizza in Memphis is the place to be. With multiple cozy locations across the city, including Union Avenue, Germantown Parkway, and Ridgeway Road, Pyro’s offers the perfect setting for a casual meal with friends or family.

One of the best things about Pyro's is their unlimited toppings option. You can pile on as many fresh, flavorful ingredients as you want without breaking the bank. It’s like a blank canvas for your taste buds—and you’re the artist.

My Perfect Pizza

The other day, I decided to get creative and build my ultimate pizza. Here’s what I came up with:

The Base

I started with a pesto base and pepper jack cheese. The combination of creamy, herbaceous pesto and the spicy kick of pepper jack set the tone for a bold and flavorful experience.

The Toppings

Now for the fun part! I went all out with:

Italian sausage for that hearty, savory bite.

Pulled pork, adding smoky tenderness.

Roasted broccoli for a satisfying crunch and a hint of sweetness.

Spinach, because a little green never hurt anyone.

Zucchini, thinly sliced for a fresh, garden vibe.

Roasted onions for a mellow, caramelized touch.

Feta, sprinkled generously for a creamy, tangy finish.

The Final Touches

After it came out of the oven, I couldn’t resist topping it off with:

A drizzle of BBQ sauce ranch for a smoky, tangy twist.

More feta because, why not?

A sprinkle of parmesan for that extra cheesy goodness.

Fresh spinach leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

A drizzle of herb-infused olive oil, tying everything together with aromatic perfection.

Cozy Vibes, One Slice at a Time

This pizza was a warm, comforting hug in every bite—perfect for a chilly day or a cozy night in. Pyro’s makes it easy to create something that feels like home, no matter how adventurous your toppings get.

Build Your Own Masterpiece

What makes Pyro’s so special is the freedom to make every pizza your own. With their unlimited toppings policy, you can get as creative (or classic) as you want. Next time you’re in Memphis, treat yourself to a custom creation at Pyro’s. It’s the perfect way to satisfy your cravings and make any day a little brighter.
