Fishtail. Rope. Milkmaid; these are just a few different types of braids that I love. So pretty, so simple, and so easy to dress up (or down). Now that it’s summertime, braids are going to be my best friend. Ok, so maybe I was already best friends with them in the first place! What can... Continue reading
I don’t know about you but there comes a certain time every day that I just really need a snack. I actually schedule in snacks throughout the day to keep me from overeating at meals. I welcome snacking into my health routine so long as my snacks don’t contain sugar or anything processed. So here... Continue reading
Green monster alert! It’s just natural to act reptilian when wearing a green face mask, right? But this mask won’t leave your skin feeling lizardly, thank goodness. Once a week I try to give myself an “at home spa day” or at least that’s what I call it whenever I do a facial. A bubble... Continue reading
It’s a happy day whenever I make homemade granola. For one, homemade granola is delicious and easy! It’s also great knowing exactly what is and isn’t in your food. Making granola also makes your house smell like grandmas (and who doesn’t love that!). This granola is very versatile and you can pretty much put anything... Continue reading
So summer is quickly approaching and I’m stoked because that means a more chill way of life is approaching; vacations, bbq’s, and beachy hair! I love the beach waves look and how effortless it appears. In reality, it is pretty effortless if you have the right tools. For my hair type, the sea sprays are... Continue reading
It’s every girl’s nightmare. You needed to leave the house 10 minutes ago and you can’t find those stud earrings you got from that cute boutique downtown. Panic sets in and before you know it, your bedroom has blown up in a whirlwind of clothes, overturned laundry hampers, and pillow feathers. You MUST wear these... Continue reading
As the weather gets warmer, I find myself baking less but still wanting dessert just as often. Banana pudding is probably one of my favorite southern, summer desserts… in addition to strawberry shortcake, cream pies….(Wait. Idea: Strawberry shortcake pops?!) Anyway! Sometimes it’s too warm to bake, sometimes I don’t want bready stuff, and sometimes I... Continue reading
Mother’s day is fast approaching and I for one feel the pressure of getting that perfect gift. It has to be sentimental, useful, and/or personal. I have stuck to the flowers and candy avenue for far too long. For the one who brought me into this world, a yearly bouquet of roses hardly seems good... Continue reading
Green smoothies are so underrated. You’d think that putting vegetables in a smoothie would not be the most appetizing but it’s actually really tasty. By using fresh spinach or other mild flavored veggies you can easily mask the flavor if you are not a huge vegetable fan. The best vegetables to use in smoothies are... Continue reading
If you ever find yourself with too many wine corks, there are many ways to re-purpose them. I chose to make a wall hanging with mine. I love the rustic feel it gives to any room. The only materials you’ll need are: a bunch of wine corks(my letter took about 50-75), hot glue and glue... Continue reading
