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”

Snow Day Cookies

In celebration of being stuck in our house for almost 36 hours with this snow, freezing rain, slush storm, we decided to bake a 1/2-batch of cookies. We used the traditional Nestle Toll House Cookies recipe on the back of the chocolate chip bag, also found here. Since chocolate isn’t my favorite, we split theContinue reading “Snow Day Cookies”

I love this meal – light, healthy, filling, and best of all delicious! You can substitute tuna if you’re not a fan of swordfish. We usually serve this with rice. Enjoy!

His & Hers

My husband and I took a little long weekend to Florida this past weekend. As we sat sadly in our hotel room getting ready to come back to the freezing/snowiness that is Boston, I looked over and thought our suitcases looked so cute sitting by the door together. I got these luggage tags as aContinue reading “His & Hers”
