Beauty Secrets: Hair


I've discovered that sometimes in life it's good to go back to the basics. Throughout my life I've always changed my hair-- cut it, color it, chop it, grow it, etc. The past couple of months I've had my hair highlighted to quite a lighter color. I love it for summer and/or vacation, but with it being so cold in Boston right now I wanted to go to a much warmer color. I decided I would go back to my original color (or close to). As you can see on the image to the right what I difference the color makes! I also need to comment that I got some bangs! My inspiration comes from Cat Power and various images I've been eyeing on Pinterest. I'm kind of totally obsessed with the new look. What to do you think??

PS- Please excuse the mugshot look. I swear I didn't do it :)

Wander Wednesdays: Key West


First, I would like to apologize on me being a little MIA for the past 2 weeks. I took a vacation with my family down to beautiful Key West. We went down to surprise my mother for her 60th birthday. She was shocked! There were about 45 people there to celebrate how great, loving and wonderful she is. We were there for 5 days and I loved every minute of it. I made a little collage (above) to sum up our trip.

The first image is of the Blue Heaven sign. Blue Heaven is this AMAZING restaurant in Key West that my family and I love to go to every time we're down there. They have roosters roaming around the restaurant, it's outside and they have delicious southern food. The second image is of the sunset during our cocktail cruise with the company, Fury. We went out on the water around 5:30pm, had some cold beverages and listened to great music with close friends and family. The last image is a picture of my delicious Corona at our resort, Casa Marina.

With it being freezing cold in Boston right now, I really wouldn't mind going back. Key West is one of those places that never gets old. I highly suggest everyone go there at LEAST once in their lives.
