Some of my friends from grad school and I met up for dinner, and MAN! Ordering our food was a trip! Amongst the four of us, there was a serious gluten allergy, three lactose intolerances, one soy allergy, and a couple cases of acid reflux. Of course, the conversation turned […]
There’s something about monochromatic dressing that I’m into right now. Maybe it’s the ease of dressing (just throw on a few things in the same color…exactly zero time and effort expended), or maybe it’s that I get to wear my favorite colors head-to-(almost)-toe. It’s probably a little of both 🙂 Side […]
Yo. Post pause: My friends IRL know that when I start a sentence with either “Yo” or “Y’all” I’m about to say something serious. Like a couple of months ago when Similac randomly mailed me cans of formula and a note – addressed to me by my FULL name – […]
To me, Little Luxuries are those small things that don’t cost a fortune – or anything! – but that never fail to bring a bit more shiny, happy Joy and Sunshine to my day 🙂 Man, I used to be an Aveda junkie back in the day! Sap moss shampoo and conditioner, […]
Before I started trying to figure out my personal style and what it is that I truly like and want to wear, I never – ever – wore bright colors. It was all navy, gray, black, white, and tan all the time! I’ve overcome my color shyness since then (thank […]
When I’m at home, not intending to share, and not trying to be particularly cute, I tear into mangoes the fastest way I can, and get about the business of eating it. Sometimes, though, it’s necessary to have mess-free mango cubes, like when eating on the go or preparing a […]
I picked up these rust colored semi-skinny jeans a while ago, and I’ve been wearing them to pieces. Side Note: I noticed that the price of these jeans – and not just these jeans…lots of items – fluctuates considerably on the Macy’s website. I got them last year for around […]
Olive, hot pink, burgundy, and navy (not to mention wide stripes, thinner stripes, and dots)… I know: it sounds like a lot, but I really do like the drab + bright color combination. Also, olive is right up there with navy and gray as my favorite pair-with-any-and-everything neutrals, so it […]
Granola bars are the ultimate grab-and-go healthy snack. Unfortunately, many of the commercial bars are pricey and packed with not-so-healthy and potentially allergenic ingredients. I started making my own when I couldn’t find any ready-made ones that are soy-free. This recipe, adapted from this one, is quick, easy, and fully […]
Image courtesy of Gap I picked up a denim blazer from Labels, my favorite consignment store, ages ago, but I could never decide how I wanted to wear it. That is, until I saw this old Gap ad in a magazine. I even have a yellow tee – random, I […]
To me, Little Luxuries are those small things that don’t cost much – or anything! – but that never fail to bring a bit more shiny, happy Joy and Sunshine to my day 🙂 My wall calendar is still on February. Just like it was stuck on January until well […]
