Waterfall Braid Tutorial
One of my favorite last-minute work hairstyles has been the waterfall braid. It keeps my hair out of my face and is a great option if I don’t have time to wash and blow-dry. A little dry shampoo, waterfall braid, freshen up the curls and G2G. It also looks insanely complicated. When I first saw…

[Said in my best Barefoot Contessa voice] Socks that actually match: (Just picked up a few packs at Target. At work it’s pretty much assumed that my socks never match, and then it got to the point where I was lucky to…

Hey everyone! A while back I asked if there was anything in particular you guys would like to see on the fashion page. I got some wonderful responses, many of which mentioned nails! I love a good mani and since leaving Sbux, I’m officially allowed to wear polish! So, I’m basically obsessed with all things…

Wild animals
While I was shaking my booty with a room full of hooting and hollering women + live drummers (not a bad way to wake up!) the Pilot took Liv to see the animals. We have annual zoo passes and figured we should start using them more, especially since the zoo opens early (to beat the…

Healthy shrimp fried rice
For real. After being in a little bit of a dinner food rut, I feel like I had my mojo going this week as far as trying new things goes. First the chicken caprese salads, then the tempeh taco lettuce wrap things, and tonight: homemade spring rolls. I used to experiment with dinners all the…

I was conjuring up a new recipe that I wanted to try for dinner last night, but when I got home and took a look at the Pilot, we knew. Eclectic it was 😉 I was absolutely fried from teaching yesterday. Cooking just wasn’t going to happen. 3 days of Zumba again this week (whoo too!)…
