Today was a very fun day of family & football. I am finally able to enjoy all my new things from Christmas and spent most of my gift cards so far so wanted to share my small pleasures with you.

Tabouli is a delicious, guilt-free snack that is perfect for dipping your favorite veggies, crackers, and breads. I stumbles across this yummy recipe and had to share.

When it comes to fashion & hair, I am sort of like a chameleon–always changing. I find that since I do not take many daring risks like skydiving or gambling that chopping my hair off or dying it dark is an adrenaline rush for me. I am an Aries (the fire sign) and Aries tend to love change and get bored easily. My go-to signature look is long highlighted blonde hair and is the most “me” look, however once in a while it’s fun to completely change your look. I decided to go through a few of my different looks and see what you think!
{Platinum blonde long hair.. my college days}
{super short blonde bob}
{chesnut with long curls}
{chestnut with bangs}
{medium blonde with long extensions}
{medium brown short cut}
{highlight&lowlights with long layers}
Neon has been an in & out trend since the 80’s. It’s definitely in an “in” phase right now. The key is subtly and using neon to accent rather than define your outfit. Neon is a super fun way to really light up your look.

{Colorful accessories to brighten you up a bit}
{Even a bright yellow highlighted-color shirt looks awesome & daring with a Chanel bag :)}

It’s the first day of normalcy for me– back to work and back to reality. I know a lot of you feel the same way whether you are back to work, returning from winter break and starting spring semester, or just recuperating from the holidays. Since today was my first day back to work, I needed a little inspiration.
First, I need a breakfast for champs.
One of my favorites is a Greek Yogurt parfait shown here.
Then, I needed to dress my desk up a little. Since I still did not have a wedding photo at my desk, I added one.
Since I was still in vacation mode last night, my mom had us over for dinner and wine. So, since I was out later than expected I DVRed my favorite premiere’s last night. Pretty Little Liars on ABC Family, 2 Broke girls on CBS, & The Bachelor on ABC.
