I'm going to keep this post short and sweet, just like my nails. I've never been a huge go to the salon kind of person, although I do enjoy the experience from time to time. I usually keep my nails on the shorter end, and I change my mind on colors so frequently, not to … Continue reading Minimalist Nail Art

Grading your skincare regime
Photo cred: misuma Getty Images/iStock photo I don't know about you all, but I get very complacent with my beauty routine, rarely switching up products and doing my research. In the past, my "research" has consisted of what is available at Target, whether I deem it affordable, and if it simply works for my skin. … Continue reading Grading your skincare regime
Easy Artichoke Caponata Recipe
The DC area didn't get blessed with snow this weekend, but is having to baton down the hatches due to extremely blustery gusts of wind and super low temps. Between that and the government shutdown, the motivation to go out and find weekend activities to do is slim to none. That's why our Sunday shaped … Continue reading Easy Artichoke Caponata Recipe

Homemade Applesauce
Last weekend, we ventured out west to Markham, VA, where we visited one of the local orchards and indulged in one of our favorite seasonal activities - apple picking. (Although, truth be told we venture out west in the spring and summer too for other fruits such as berries and peaches.) About an hour drive outside … Continue reading Homemade Applesauce
Breweries with Babes
I am a fan of simple alliteration, but how many people do you think will hit this link in search of something else?! Oh well... If you know us, patroning local breweries and wineries is our go to activity on the weekends. They are the perfect blend of "still cool enough to go out" but … Continue reading Breweries with Babes
What to expect, when you’re not expecting
This particular post has been forming in my head for months. I've struggled with what words I want to use, what information I want to share, what I feel like is just enough to say without offending anyone. In the end however, what type of platform would this be if I didn't speak the raw, … Continue reading What to expect, when you’re not expecting
