M.I.A.

Sorry I've been missing for a while (not that anyone really reads this on the regular anyhow!).  Things have been hectic in my life.  I was home for a week and have also been helping Ben with his new place...including LOTS of this:

...but looking a lot less happy after the first room.

Happy Friday!

Hope everyone has fun plans for the weekend!  Enjoy the weather

Favorite hair product!

It took me until recently to finally cave in and go to the salon to color my hair.  All my life my mother instilled it in me that if I highlighted or dyed my hair that it would ruin it (mind you she's been highlighting forever!).  I've had my hair highlighted about 3 times now, and while I'm happy with the results, I feel like my hair felt more dry and a little frizzy and the soft, silky texture that I once had was missing.

I went to work scouring internet reviews for hair products to cure my issues and turned to my always trusty favorite Folica.  I came acrosse the Sedu Anti-Frizz Polishing Treatment which initially caught my attention because I swear by my Sedu flat iron.  After reading a couple reviews I placed my order and waited patiently for my package to arrive. 

This morning I used it for the first time and I am over the moon with my purchase.  After I got out of the shower I applied a small amount to my wet hair and blow dried it.  My hair is back to how it used to be...so soft and silky with no frizz, I didn't even want to use my flat iron today because it looked great without it.  Even in the heat we're having today it's still holding up.  A lot of products that I've tried work intially, but end up making my hair feel flat or greasy toward the end of the day.  I'm through my workday and my hair is the same as it was this morning. 

I HIGHLY recommend checking this product out.  It's worth every penny.

New homeowner!

So Ben bought a house and we spent the entire weekend moving (just the 2 of us) and I can officially say I'm exhausted.  I hit the snooze button this morning a few times before I finally got up (but it's okay since my commute is now 4 miles!).

One of the best/worst things that I have since discovered is that there is a Home Goods right down the road!  Best: because that is hands down my favorite store in the world - which makes me feel pretty old.  Worst: because I'm afraid that's where I will be spending all of my time and paychecks in the near future!

We've both been brainstorming for ideas how to decorate the new space so there are tons of ideas for paint, carpet and decor that I've been consuming myself with!

Here's to some more new moves and lots to look forward to!  I've already made plans to ensure that Home Goods is on my way back from work this afternoon :)

Photo Friday

Happy Friday!  Here's a photo I got this week from our first wedding of the season.

Enjoy your weekend!

Soooo Delicious!

I was having one of those early afternoon crashes where I was afraid I might start doing the head bob at my desk, so I went downstairs to Starbucks to get myself a little pick me up.  I was greeted with a massive sign marketing the new Mocha Coconut Frap which easily persuaded my choice of caffeine fix.

Let's just say I am completely in love...imagine a Samoa Girl Scout Cookie (my favorite) in a cup.  I had to control myself and not drink the entire thing on the elevator back to my office.  I highly recommend this for a little afternoon treat.....maybe an every afternoon treat since it's right outside the door of my building.
