This weekend, I went to visit my brother and sister-in-law in Richmond, VA (RVA). Our weekend was full with just the right amount of activity. We also did some of my favorite things! I love visiting farmers’ markets when I’m in other cities. (Or in my own city!) This was my first time at the […]
Indie Beauty Expo 2016 Recap
On Wednesday, August 24, I went to the Indie Beauty Expo at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City. You guys. It was AMAZING. I had such a blast walking around, meeting all the vendors, and chatting with a few brands a bit more in depth. I picked up several new-to-me products and I can’t […]
Cherry Banana Almond Butter Smoothie
I make a smoothie for breakfast almost every day. My love of smoothies started when my husband gave me a Vitamix for Christmas three years ago. The Vitamix was a game-changer for me. (I have the Pro Series 300.) You definitely don’t need a Vitamix (or a Blendtec) to make a good smoothie, so if […]

two current hair care favorites
I wanted to share two of my current hair care favorites. I first heard about Yarok a few years ago and my entry into their line was with their “Feed Your Volume” shampoo. I still love that shampoo, but I was recently given a sample of the “Feed Your Moisture” shampoo by Integrity Botanicals and I […]
