Hey there! You guys might remember than I’m semi-obsessed (ok, obsessed) with the charcoal deodorant from Primally Pure. I’ve used it for quite awhile now, and I’m officially hooked. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever switch deodorants because I just love it so much. (I know, it’s a little ridiculous professing my love for deodorant, but it was a journey to find one this amazing!) Before officially falling in love with the charcoal deodorant from…

Thanks to Dollar Shave Club for sponsoring this blog post. As always, thank you for reading and supporting the brands that sponsor content on Carrots ‘N’ Cake.  You guys know that I’m not fancy when it comes to my beauty routine, which means I’m particular about the products that I use. They need to be high-quality and perform well. I don’t like having one million half-used products in my bathroom. I dunno, it stresses me…

Once upon a time, I wrote a post about my favorite black leggings. It was back in 2017, but I still love black leggings because 1) they’re flattering; 2) they’re no-nonsense; and 3) they don’t show sweat during workouts (because I’m a sweaty beast). More than two years later, I still love plain black leggings, but I’ve ventured out a bit into patterns and dark colors. I know, I’m sooooo adventurous! 😉 I’ve basically been…

Hi guys! This edition of CNC Instagram Live is from September 19th, and I received a great group of questions from you guys for it – thank you for sending! I love having a running list and hearing what kinds of topics you guys are interested in hearing about, so keep ’em coming! Ok, into the questions we go! 1. Is fasted cardio ok for women, specifically 20-25 minutes of interval sprints? My answer: it depends!…

Hi, guys! Good morning! If you caught me on Instagram Stories yesterday, I shared a brief anti-candida diet update. I was actually kind of nervous to talk about my experience so far because it had only been 5 days, and I didn’t want to jinx myself. But I’m happy to report that my GI symptoms have improved immensely. This is definitely TMI, but my ulcerative colitis symptoms included tons of cramping, multiple trips to the bathroom…

Hi, friends! I’m hitting publish on this post a little early this week, so I guess it’s technically the “Thursday 5,” right? It’s actually a special edition of the Friday 5 (uh, Thursday 5) since it focuses on affordable fleece pullovers. (Yes, I’m obsessed!) You might remember my (intense) love for this cozy fleece, which I can’t wait to wear as soon as the temperatures really start to cool down. It’s hanging in our hall…

Hi, friends! Just a quick hello from Arlington, Virginia! I’m actually leaving for a run at Theodore Roosevelt Island in like 15 minutes, so I need to make this post quick! 🙂 Yesterday, I did a 10 mile bike ride around Arlington with Bike Arlington, and, my gosh, was the perfect day for it! Additional details coming in a future post! And some eats and drinks from my travels… I had my first (iced) pumpkin…

Hey guys! I recently picked up some new pieces for fall from Amazon (they just make it so easy!), and it seemed like you guys really liked my fashion finds under $20, so I wanted to do another one. Similarly, everything I purchased this time was super affordable. I mean, who doesn’t like affordable Fall fashion finds from Amazon, right? All of the tops mentioned below are within the $20 range and really good quality….

Hi, guys! So, I did a little shopping on Amazon the other day. I don’t know if you have stumbled onto the world of Amazon Fashion, but everything is soooo affordable and so cute. I recently bought a bunch of different items, so I thought I’d do a little show-and-tell for you guys. It seems like you’re really into these affordable fashion finds since I’ve gotten so many comments and questions about them lately. One…

I saw this quote the other day, and it really resonated with me: “The comeback is always stronger than the setback.” I know we’ve all had highs and low with regard to our fitness journey, so I wanted to share some of mine that immediately come to mind. My lowest fitness lows: Barely recovered from a flare, I decide it’s a good idea to run a half marathon. I pretty much crawl over the finish…
