Reconciliation

To the naked eye this looks like a simple roast beef and potato dinner, served on lovely china; but it is much more than that. It’s 2 friends- best friends- reconnecting, after letting something as foolish and inconsequential as food come between them. It’s shared laughter after months of silence; and that feeling of knowing- deep down inside- that this friendship is real; and strong- able to withstand hurtful exchanges and bruised egos; transcending the trivial and rooting itself in love- in its truest form; loving someone having seen their ugly side.

It’s as if we haven’t skipped a beat, like we’re back to last summer, when things were easy; and there was no business and no pressure, just 2 friends with an undeniable bond.

I wrote in a card “ friends first, friends forever” and- truthfully- at the time, I wasn’t sure if that was true, if that was a commitment I wanted to make, a feeling based solely on anger; but time mends all and after a summer of silence and a much needed cooling off period, we’re back!

Chris, I couldn’t be happier!

House Wears

I struggled trying to get my first outfit post; in fact, I posted my first attempt but then quickly realized that it was horrible; my clothes were wrinkled, my camera had smudges and I was super unfamiliar with the whole tripod/timer thing. So I deleted it.



So for the second act of my first outfit post, I took my time, put on my newest purchase and got comfortable. Meaning, I took thousands of shots- not really, but it was around 50 or something. After this attempt, I’m starting to feel like I’m grasping this outfit post thing!



This dress is super comfortable, I wore it whilst lazing around the house working; and if you ask anyone who knows me, they will tell you that I ALWAYS have my hair covered- this time was no different, this blue hat is my favorite- my hair and I are going through a rough patch, my hair does one thing and I want another- this hat has helped bridge the gap.



First outfit post- done!

Dress- Value Village
Hat- H&M

Chicken Bruschetta Salad

I was salad crazy all summer, making up all kinds of salad creations; but this is by far my favorite. It has all my favorite things- chicken, almonds, sweet butter lettuce and bruschetta; and it’s beyond healthy.

I love salads that deliver both on flavor and benefit; because let’s be honest, some salads don’t. And although those wonderful calorie laden salads have their place, why would I waste a day and half’s worth of calories on one salad when I can have this salad in its place? And, with all my caloric savings, I would definitely be having ice cream for dessert!

Saturday Sounds

Saturdays deserve a few things 1) sleeping in until nature rouses me gently awake 2) a lazy lunch, preferably prepared by someone other than me and 3) good music.

Dj'ing forces me to dig for music at least once a week; and let me tell you, finding gems can be a really tricky task at times. This is why I love finding mixes! A good mix can be like 60 minutes of the best sex of your life, but instead of an orgasm you get an eargasm- oh yes, I just said that!

Because I want your Saturday to be filled satisfying sounds, I present to you Aeroplane's late July mix. It's good, trust me!

Aeroplane- Late July Mix

Have a great weekend!

I collect lots of kitchen things; from bowls to plates to knives and forks, I don't discriminate- I love them all! But, my dining room table resembles that of garage sale table- you know the one, with piles of things on it, that showcases none of them. With that being said, it's time off load some of my wares; as much as I will miss them, I must make room for the next generation.
