Can’t Wait To Wear A Ponytail Again

Found this video today and thought it was really helpful (especially for us thin hair girls), so I thought I’d pass it on. You can fully expect to see this once my hair gets a wee bit longer. The little clip is genius!

Happy Weekend!

Snow Day Essentials

by //

JCrew Sweatpants

Well, there is a blizzard happening in St. Louis as I type. So Bob and I decided to take a half snow day. Technically, we don’t need a snow day, but since we’re still dealing with the aftermath of being gone a month (hence the crazy blog schedule), we need a little bit of chill time, and this is the perfect excuse. So, here are a few of our essentials for the day.

1: Cozy Clothes. Bought these sweatpants (here’s the updated version) in December and have worn them nearly every day since. They’re cute and oh so comfy.

2: Waffle Cookbook. Recently found this gem and will be making these for us today. Can’t wait to try all of them!!!

3: Coffee, Hot Cocoa, Tea. And a great mug!

4: A couple of fun movies.

5: A warm blanket.
