domino

in 2009 i started this little blog with very sad, sad post (which reminds me that my blog birthday is just five days away!) but i'd like everyone's full attention for a moment....DOMINO IS BACK!!!!!!!!!! april 17th people...prepare yourselves (read this article).

how to create loose curls

just found this little tutorial via mandy's blog and i. am. stoked. my go to hairstyle for the past year has been the top knot and as much as i love the ease and quickness...it's getting boring. i've always wanted to achieve those beautiful bouncy waves but i haven't known how. i'll be testing this out today and i'll be back with results!

gardenias

during a grocery run at our neighborhood safeway i was (beyond) pleasantly surprised when i found a bucket of gardenias - five gardenia stems for $7. siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. i snapped them right up and this weekend i've been happily enjoying their delicious fragrance throughout our living room. hope you're having a wonderful weekend! xo
