Who doesn’t love Chinese food?! But take-out Chinese is just so unhealthy that sometimes when the craving hits, we decide to make our own. *Warning – this is a very involved process, not really an after work cooking project, I suggest making this on a weekend or day off. My husband and I also divideContinue reading “Homemade Chinese Food”

2-week Mani, the Final Day
So last night I finally removed my 2-week mani. I had enough of the nail growth “look” and went through the process of soaking my fingertips in straight acetone and the polish just started chipping off tiny piece by tiny piece (you can see it all at the bottom of the bowl). Overall, it tookContinue reading “2-week Mani, the Final Day”
Pizza Toppings
By now, everyone has a pizza stone and makes their own pizza at home, right? We love to use regular dough from the deli section of the grocery store or the herb dough from Trader Joe’s. The only hard part of homemade pizza is thinking of a delicious, creative topping! Cheese is so boring, pepperoniContinue reading “Pizza Toppings”
2-week Mani, day 9
Ok, so today is day 9 of my 2-week manicure and things look good, but I am starting to get disappointed. The tips of my nails are still perfect, you would think that I just got a mani. However, since it’s been over a week since I got my nails done, they have grown andContinue reading “2-week Mani, day 9”
Pulled Pork Sandwich
In honor of President’s Day (really, having nothing to do with any of our Presidents but all to do with having a day off) we made pulled pork sandwiches today. It’s such a long process, it’s best to do on a weekend or day off. The results are BBQ Heaven! Pulled Pork Sandwich adapted fromContinue reading “Pulled Pork Sandwich”
Fish Tacos
I love fish tacos so I thought I’d share how we make them at home. They’re so easy to make I don’t even follow a real recipe with measurements. For the tacos, tilapia works great – we like to use a white fish that isn’t too flaky since we don’t deep fry (the deep fryContinue reading “Fish Tacos”
2-week Mani, day 1
Sunday afternoon my friend and I splurged on the new trend in nail polishing – a shellac manicure! They say it lasts 2 weeks without chipping, can that be true? We went (to Miniluxe in Newton) because we had a $10 off coupon but I’m thinking now it is completely worth every full-price penny. HereContinue reading “2-week Mani, day 1”
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Edible Valentine
I decided to do something different this year and send out edible Valentines rather than my usual homemade cards. The Valentines were little heart sugar cookies packaged in cutely decorated boxes. I thought, what a treat to get a box of cute cookies in the mail for Valentine’s Day! For the packaging I wentContinue reading “Edible Valentine”
NYFW
In honor of the first day of New York Fashion Week I thought I’d share the official Pantone colors of Spring, 2011. I can’t wait to incorporate these colors into my spring wardrobe. I particularly like honeysuckle, peapod, and regatta! I am thinking about outfits with both beeswax and lavendar, too – that would beContinue reading “NYFW”
