Honey + Baking Soda

source

I tried an all natural face wash this morning made out of honey and baking soda I found on No More Dirty Looks' blog. I feel like such a crunchy hippy but when I read the ingredients on my typical facewash bottles, I get a little freaked out. So today is my first day of trying a mixture of raw honey and a little bit of baking soda to add some texture for exfoliating. 

Hopefully this turns out to be a good alternative to the store bought stuff! 

New Look for Pinterest

I'm digging the new layout for Pinterest.

What "About" You?

source

Earlier today I was working on my "about" page for my website for Oneleven Wedding and realized just how hard it is to put into words what I want my business to be about and who I am. This quote gave me some insight into what to write about. 

And did anyone remember that in the last season of Lost Jacob says to Ben "What about you"? Well, probably not, but it's something that is said around the Brady house quite a bit with tons of laughter following.

I never thought a houseboat could be an architectural beauty, but after taking a tour of this one on Apartment Therapy I changed my mind. Homeowner, Sue, docks her 1,000 square foot house in Seattle, Washington. Get the details on her home and the design aesthetic on the Apartment Therapy. 

Chipmunk Cheeks

I've been absent the past few days because I look much like this chipmunk and I've been busy stuffing my face with ice cream. My wisdom teeth surgery went well but I've been taking it easy.

Happy Friday Links

It's Friday, Friday, Friday. My day started with my silly husband singing a custom version of "Friday" by Rebecca Black - and that's how I knew today would be a good one. I have a few picnics and family stuff this weekend to celebrate Labor Day. And I'll be busy cooking lots of soft food to get ready for recovering from my wisdom tooth surgery scheduled for next Tuesday. I hope everyone has a great long weekend!
