While I’ve long been a fan of Almond Joys, only recently did I realize that coconut was more than just something awesome inside my candy bar.I’ve been using pure coconut oil as an overnight deep conditioning treatment on my hair twice a week. My damaged, color-treated hair feels smoother and more moisturized and my split ends are jumping for joy at ...
What to Wear in the Air
I'll never forget the time I was at the Toronto's Pearson airport just relaxing, hanging out at the gate when suddenly I realized that just a few rows down were Robert Buckley and Shantel VanSanten from One Tree Hill (yes, I watched that show and yes, I cried every episode). Unfortunately, I was wearing bright turquoise, cropped, ...
Out with the old, in with the new!
Today is a momentous day in this blog's history. If you're here, you obviously know what it is---a completely NEW design---and I couldn't have done it without Meg- momma and blogger extraordinaire! When I first started this blog, I had a stock template and then I tried to make my own header (which was so not good)…case in point: ...
So maybe I did a little more shopping…
In Toronto, a Saturday is always best spent walking around and exploring--- you can shop, eat, people watch and overall just take in the energy of the city. That's exactly what we did that sunny Saturday. We walked to Queen street, the Eaton's Center and ate lunch at a restaurant across from the new Trump Hotel.The night before, my friend Heather ...
29.
Today is my 29th birthday. It's an age that has always made me feel nervous because when you're younger, 30 tends to be the age you assess all of the expectations you had in your twenties and contemplate whether or not they were met. You hope to accomplish certain goals by then---and 29 is the age where you sort of start panicking about what you ...

Sunday Houston Blogger Brunch- May 2012
I think brunch was invented so that people would look forward to Sundays. Once a month, a bunch of us Houston blogger gals get together for brunch and this month it was at Haven, a restaurant described as a "seasonal kitchen"---they use fresh, local foods and their menu changes all of the time because they use what's in season. ...
Glorious Green

Tunics as Tops
Happy Friday! H and I are relaxing, catching up on our DVR and enjoying Chinese food!So, this morning, I went to put on my new white Zara pants (that I also have in jade and black) and the fit was completely off. I didn't try them on when I bought them because they were the same style and size as the others I bought, so I figured they would fit ...
