Any one who knows me knows how ridiculously crazy I am about this gel -
Ouidad : Climate Control Gel (Remedy Line)
And anyone with curly hair knows what a PAIN in the arse it is to find something that actually works with the texture of your hair. This stuff is a lifesaver.

Packing, Rain, Unpacking, Toilet Paper.

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

So, I’m officially alllll moved into my new place, thanks to my sista and my momma. It’s a bit 70s, but I’ll just call it shabby-chic. You can see pics (pre-furnished) here.
We rented a U-Haul (against my wishes), but it was good idea because it was definitely raining on Friday when we [...]

Another idea.
I love these Fornarina Nico Boots.
And, if you tell me you’ll get them for me, I’ll hook it up with the employee discount, so you get 35% off! See how generous I am when it comes to receiving birthday gifts?
I know, right?

Dinner Party at Chez Emma

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

Emma decided to host a little dinner party at her casa, which I love because that means I can cook and not have to clean up after.
Our friendly host for the evening.
You can’t start a dinner party without opening the vino first. No one had actually arrived yet, but you can’t cook without [...]

whine and cheese fridays

Friday, February 8th, 2008

… also known as WAC Fridays. It’s been a couple months since we’ve done it, but alas, it was one of those days.

One brings the wine. One brings the cheese. And we ALL bring the WHINE.
Today was good old garlic and cheese spread, some camembert, those ranch pretzel thingies and some garlic melba toasts [...]
