Hottieish is where I document my shift from store-bought to homemade — one recipe, one habit, and one small swap at a time.

What started with sharing homemade drinks on Instagram quickly turned into an obsession with making more things myself: the juices I used to buy, the cookies I used to grab from the grocery store, and the little kitchen tricks that make everyday food feel a bit more intentional.

Every recipe you’ll find here is something I’ve actually made in my own kitchen — tested, tweaked, and shared only when it’s genuinely worth repeating. No filler recipes or recycled content. If it’s here, I’d make it again.

You’ll find three kinds of posts here: Drinks — juices, hydration recipes, and the drinks that started this whole thing; From Scratch — homemade versions of the things I used to buy; and Kitchen Notes — simple habits, swaps, experiments, and honest thoughts I pick up along the way.

Start with the latest homemade recipes below, or explore the Drinks section for more colorful ideas.

I’m adding new recipes and ideas every week. Start exploring below, or follow along in real time on Instagram @hottieishness.
