Beauty Booty: My First Weave

October 24, 2011

About six weeks ago, I made a major change to my appearance — I got extensions put in my hair! People are always curious about my hair and this change has been the source of even more questions than usual. So if you’ve always wanted to know more about black women and weaves…you’ve probably come [...]

The Life: The Neti Pot

October 17, 2011

Friday afternoon, I found myself in a considerable amount of pain. It wasn’t quite a headache…like, my face hurt. Finally I realized that this must be my sinuses. I wondered if it was time to take your advice and try a Neti Pot. In all honesty, I wasn’t quite sure how a Neti Pot worked. [...]

I’m Spent: Back in the Sack

August 29, 2011

I couldn’t stay away forever, could I? I’ve actually been really good about not going to Lululemon since losing my virginity to the store back in March. I knew that that store was nothing but trouble, the retail equivalent of the guy your parents warn you about. I know it’s no good for me, but [...]

On Lesson #89: Summer Wedding Guest Dress Ideas

July 13, 2011

There have been a lot of takeaways after I wrote about weddings last week. That discussion? Was wonderful! It has inspired so many more posts, the first of which is a fun one, because it’s about fashion. Lesson #89: Reward yourself for going to wedding showers, bachelorette parties, and weddings. Eric and I are driving [...]

Beauty Booty: The Brazilian Keratin Treatment

June 13, 2011

If you know the history of my hair, it should come as no surprise that this is one area of grooming where I’m always looking for the next best thing. But I actually didn’t give the Brazilian Keratin treatment much thought for a long time because I didn’t think it was something black/half-black people could [...]

Living in Sin: To the Dogs

May 20, 2011

Eric and I have been waiting for three months to welcome our new puppies home and the big day is almost here. I could not be more excited (although I’ll admit that after all the puppy books I’ve been reading, I’m now totally nervous that I’m going to do something wrong and scar them for [...]

Living in Sin: Sofa King Cool

May 6, 2011

Over the past few weeks, Eric and I have been working on the apartment, getting it closer to feeling “done.” The kitchen was pretty boring — all white with wood accents and a couple shots of blue (the clock, the kitchen timer, and my blue butter crock). Last weekend we bought some small Texas accessories [...]

Pimp My Kitchen: S’more to Love

May 5, 2011

During the big moving weekend, Eric and I were at Home Goods when we came across this amazing product. When an infomercial product such as this is on sale for $12.99 and is the only one in stock, you don’t ask, “Why?” You ask, “WHY NOT????” The only real question we had to answer was [...]

Living in Sin: Play Ball

April 11, 2011

Saturday was Eric’s company’s softball tournament. I was on the winning team. No, really…our team’s name was Winning! and our T-shirts had a picture of Charlie Sheen on them. Besides bringing my awesome softball skillz, I decided to bring cookies! When I saw this recipe for sunflower butter cookies featuring chocolate-covered sunflower seeds, I figured [...]

Living in Sin: The Big Shopping Trip

April 4, 2011

This past weekend, it was time for the big shopping trip. You know, the shopping trip where Eric and I would buy 99 percent of the things we need for the apartment. The shopping trip that had the potential to go badly and turn Eric and me into That Couple as a TV stand debate [...]
