"I wish my hair looked like Merida's," I told my BFF, and I wasn't just talking about the color. Every time I watch Brave, I get curl envy. This simple sentence had me contemplating my hair more so than before. A few nights later I messaged another friend of mine asking what products she was... Continue Reading →
Hello everyone! How was your weekend? I spent Saturday resting and rejuvenating then spent most of Sunday cleaning. It's like once I started I could not stop.

If you want something simple, delicious, and (mostly) healthy then I have found the perfect dish for you! Of course I can’t take the credit for the actual recipe, that goes to Ree Drummond, aka The Pioneer Woman. Her Teriyaki Salmon and Kale Sheet Pan Bake is one of the best in my opinion. But...
