    The ingredients: cut-up broccoli florets, cubed sweet potatoes or yams, brown sugar, butter, olive oil, dijon mustard, vinegar. I found some recipes that called for baked sweet potatoes and broccoli with a miso dressing. I couldn't afford to purchase the ingredients for miso just for this...

I also made a small filet that had been languishing in my freezer and a bunch of Mongolian chicken using this recipe. I figured that I can freeze or use the chicken for lunches, I like...

    Stress and Anxiety

    Well, I have 2 pieces of advice. 1) Work out in some way. Stress causes a pseudo fight or flight response, so working out suck as running, lifting, or hitting a punching bag all help work out the aggression. 2)Have rituals and boundaries. Every day after work I do little yoga and sit down and...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Many of my favorite pieces are vintage. To me, it's more than finding a one-of-a-kind piece that is beautiful, high quality, and has proved it will stand the test of time. It's also kind of rebellious, anti-capitalist, and anti-fast fashion. The world is FULL of stuff that is already wonderful...

The activities I do while camping include hiking, kayaking, bird watching, fishing, journal writing and generally just...

    Beauty secrets of famous ladies

    It is the very rare bird who can shave off eyebrows and make it work. Frankly, I doubt this worked for these actresses in person. And I've never gotten the "Joan Crawfod as a Beauty" idea. I mean she's hardly woof woof material but seems rather plain and ordinary to me. My Project

    Rollers in public

    I jog/work out in the evenings, 3 times a week tops. I just pineapple my hair or put it in a very loose bun while exercising. If my hair gets sweaty I rinse my scalp/roots with water and/or conditioner and rub to remove the sweat without disrupting the style too much.

    Coconut oil is fantastic for cooking! First of all, the health benefits are outstanding, and it is more stable than most oil at high temperatures. It's also excellent for hair and skin, but a little goes a long way, for me, at least. My website

    Best beauty decision you've made?

    Laser removing! I did it about 5 years ago and am currently looking for a new place to do a few touch up sessions-- so worth it! Wearing less makeup is something that I have become way more comfortable with in the last year—and my skin is very happy about the decision, too!
