Meg: On-the-go mani
Hi friends! I’m embarrassed to say I’ve been walking around all week with a hideously chipped pink manicure. My unsightly nails were driving me crazy, and I knew I had to do something about it. There was only one problem: I haven’t had ANY free time this week due to friends and family being in…

Can you believe it’s September already?! (turning leaves or bad watering job? I’m gonna go ahead and guess the latter) While it’s definitely bittersweet to see summer ending as fall begins -even though Fall doesn’t reallllly start in Tucson until at least Halloween- September always makes me think of football games, apple recipes, jeans and……

A week that the Pilot will be home for dinner! He was gone for two weeks, then flew nights for three including last week- it’s always more fun to make dinner for two. Or, two and a half in our case 😉 Last night was Liv’s first time trying salmon and she went CRAZY for…

– I took tamales to work today. They were a huge hit, and while everyone was gushing about how amazing they were, I couldn’t take credit for the work. All I did to contribute was the tamale deal in the Taco Bell parking lot. Nana picked them up from our tamale man, and I picked…

Baby smoothies
I’ve heard it said that babies will usually want to eat what the parents are eating. It made a lot of sense, but I got a glimpse the first time Liv made a grab for my salmon salad. Like the swiftest salad ninja, one second I was taking a bite, and the next, my plate…

Chili Mango Slushy
I have a delicious summery treat for you today, inspired by my heritage: chili mango slushy. My love of spicy food could be explained by many different factors, but I really think my addiction is hereditary. My nana eats jalapeños like they’re baby bell peppers. I live for green corn tamales -our tamale guy makes…
Read More →Meg: Sock Bun
As much as I love rocking a top-knot, it’s not always polished enough for dressy occasions. Here’s a simple and lovely upgrade that looks much more put together. The biggest tip I can give when trying the sock bun is to practice. You probably won’t get it perfect it the first time you try, but…

Sometimes, late at night, the Pilot and I will look each other in the eyes and we know. Froyo. “Do you want to go, or you want me to?” Thank goodness BTO is open late, aaaaand they have an awesome variety of dairy-free flavors and tons of toppings. I think we’ve mastered the art of…
Read More →Focus On: Dance Trance
With all of the Focus On posts in the sea, I CAN’T BELIEVE I haven’t written one about Dance Trance. I have no idea how I skipped it- Dance Trance is one of my favorite cardio workouts! I used to own the license to teach here in Tucson (the info on why I stopped is here).…
