Today started out cool but warmed up nicely. As much add I am looking forward to pumpkin pie I’m sad fall, and therefore cooler weather, is on the way. At least it was another nice day for The Other and I to take a walk.
Oh and checkout my new hat! You can’t call yourself a connoisseur of hats with out a baseball cap so decided to ads one to my collection. It has a strawberry on it!

Best Christmas gift I ever got!

I have been wanting to do something fun (and pink) with my hair for a while and I finally did it. I had a wonderful stylist who is very familar with fashion colors (her own hair was beautiful) and did a great job of understanding what I want, what would work and even did research before I arrived to make sure the end result looked fantastic!!
I told her I wanted it to look “natural” as much as pink hair can look natural and I think she hit the mark blending it into my normal hair. Fashion colors fade pretty fast (I will have to go every 2-3 weeks for touch ups) but the way its layered in even when it does fade it will still look good. Which is great cause I am a pretty low-maintenance kinda girl. The other great part of how she worked it in is that it looks better with waves or curls so its easy for me to let my hair air dry and my usually annoying waves actually work for me instead of against me!!

Made Fresh Lemon Linguine with summer vegetable sauce and seasoned ricotta tonight. I think the most surprising thing was that there was no fresh lemon in it. It was actually lemon infused pasta.
Overall it was pretty good, even without the addition of fresh lemon but it is not my favorite lemon pasta dish I have made from Blue Apron. I think others have been better.
I did like the summer vegetable sauce as it taught me an easy way to make homemade tomatoe sauce. I didn’t realize it was so easy. (Basically garlic, red onion, and tomato then simmer until thick and saucy)
I also painted my nails with the “comic book” nails. I think it was OK for a first try, need to work on my lines. It’s hard to make a thin line on your nails with your good hand so your offhand is super tough. I’m liking the matte topcoat more than I expected!

Its been mostly bike posts here lately so I thought I would switch it up a bit with some recent manicures I have done. I love love love my UV gel system that I got from Brianna – it has totally changed the way I paint my nails. I don’t think I ever posted about it – so here is the kit I received. It includes the UV curing light, prep/base/top/oil coats and polish remover. Bri was also kind enough to get me a starter set of neon polishes!
My first attempts at designs with this polish set weren’t very good. The polish is thicker so it takes a bit of getting used to. I do all my designs free-hand so far so it definitely takes some coordination. Here are two designs I did around Christmas:
The tree one turned out pretty great, the candy canes I obviously used too much polish. 🙂 After that I focused on single colors but really understanding how much you had to put on and how long to cure the polish. I also realized if you completely finished one hand before starting the other it was much easier. I don’t have any pictures of my solid colors but it did make me brave enough to try some designs again. Here are some recent designs I did as well – I am getting much better at the straight lines!
Recently I participlated in a Reddit Gift Exchange for nail polish and my secret santa got me a pretty great neurtal collection called “Oasis” from BMC. The colors are very pretty and much different than I would usually by myself (I am a sparkly glitter kinda person). The colors are really pretty though and I have already received many compliments on my purple paint:
I think I am going to use the peach color in the set to try this comic book nail design. (see example here) I will post and let you guys know how it turned out!

We went to Bristol Renaissance Faire yesterday. It was hot, then rainy, but still a ton of fun. I was in costume so I felt google glass wasn’t “period appropriate” but luckily I had my manservant available to document our journey. So all credit for this video goes to Brent Marnati for the footage and Google AutoAwesome for the editing. #ThroughGlass #BrentMarnati

The Other and I were invited to an awesome lake side Grecian dinner tonight hosted by Cacao Sweets and Treats. Everything was homemade and the food was amazing! There was a strict dress code (girls in white dresses, men in white shirts/khaki pants) and it was fun to see everyone dressed up and looking so great!
