Mascara Musings

I typically keep my mascara confined to my top lashes, but yesterday I decided to mix it up a little and coated the bottom ones as well. Immediately after applying, I remembered why I don't usually let my mascara venture south. I can't seem to wear mascara on my lower lashes without looking like a doll. And no, I'm not talking about a doe-eyed baby doll with plump, rosy cheeks. I'm referring to the creepy doll every girl had at some point as a...
A Simple Solution to My Hair Predicament

I rarely regret my decision to avoid shampoo, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't occasionally miss the scent of freshly-washed hair. Hair that smells like nothing can get pretty boring, and without that just shampooed look/feel/scent, I often forget when I last used baking soda and apple cider vinegar. Because of this, I tend use baking soda more frequently than is necessary. This is both wasteful and not so great for my already dry hair.
Amber, my talented hairstylist, often mixes a few drops...

It's impossible to go wrong when you throw a mustache into the mix.
Because an anatomically correct heart being pierced with an arrow is way romantic.

When Easy Canvas Prints agreed to send me my very own canvas print to review, I was thrilled. I had just the picture in mind! You guessed it; it's the dreamy one you see above featuring my sweet dog Clementine. I'm so happy with the way it turned out! I'm seriously considering treating myself to a few more to hang in various places around our house. I also won one recently on the lovely Sandy's blog, so I'm well on my way to having a collection. And guess what?! Easy Canvas Prints has generously...
Foody Friday: THE Best Hummus

I'm usually inept when it comes to deviating from recipes, but I did exactly that with this greek yogurt and artichoke dip recipe...and what resulted was the creamiest, tastiest hummus I've ever tried. Here's the recipe: 1 can of chickpeas, drained (I know, BPA is bad news. I didn't have the patience to soak them, though, and dealing with me when I'm hungry is also bad news). three heaping tablespoons of greek yogurt (for what it's worth, it was rBGH-free). 3 artichoke hearts (also canned...I'm an awful person). 3 medium...

I recently began using Sophyto's Daily Skin Rejuvenation Collection, so I'll be reviewing some or all of the products individually in the future. It's far too soon to give a definitive opinion, but my skin isn't revolting against me yet (which is always a good sign). Be on the lookout for the reviews!
And be on the lookout tomorrow specifically for a recipe that will rock your worlds.
