My 10 year high school reunion is coming up and my dieting post baby has hit a plateau (as I mentioned on my Facebook page).

Fat looks better {Read More}

Ever since she first appeared on The Bachelor I have been in love with her style, but especially her hair. Emily Maynard’s hair always looks so perfectly styled, one would assume it’s professionally done every single day.

The girl is gorgeous and her hair always looks flawless. It took about 2 weeks to finally get to me, I wasn’t about to pay extra for shipping. I’m frugal, to {Read More}
