Connect Right: Pi, Pedis & Please Send Me New Music

How is it already mid-March?! Happy hump day / pi day! YUM.

Today I am sharing where you can get a manicure that is actually good for your skin (from a local female-owned salon) , along with some food styling pictures that I have been holding onto for way too long. I have a few exciting projects in the works that you will see trickling in here and there over the next few weeks. Keep your eyes peeled and you might win something that will help you start your Spring off on the right foot ;) (get it). 

PS - I am working on my Shop My Look page too, where you can browse my styles from head-to-toe. It's a lot of work (shout out to you fashion bloggers), so stay tuned! Can't wait to share it with you.

Hope you have a beautiful day!

HOW I WISH I WAS CELEBRATING PI DAY....

RawCake7 (1 of 1).jpg

With this raw cheesecake by my talented friend Katie Marshall. I am a huge sucker for all things sweet, but it wasn't until I met my friend Katie that I realized that you can be healthy and still have cake too. Weird, right?! 

This week I was super excited to get back into my food styling game, which is one of my favorite things to do. I thought it would be a perfect day to share some other images from this shoot (from last year #TBW)! 

Holla atcha girl if you know how to snap the images, but have no idea how to style them! I am here to lend you a helping, somewhat controlling of the way things look, hand. 

(and take a look at Katie's blog to get inspired by some of her delicious good-for-you recipes)

WHERE YOU SHOULD GO IF YOU WANT TO GET YOUR NAILS DONE (SUSTAINABLY)...

Varnish Lane

Founded by the sweetest mother-daughter duo, Lauren and Carrie, who were on a quest to find a nail salon that was clean, safe and convenient.

Varnish Lane offers waterless nailcare to its customers which reduces waste, cost, and is much healthier for the customer. All of the products that are used during the manicure / pedicure services are natural and have amazing benefits for your skin. The nail polish they carry is also natural, meaning that there are no toxins being absorbed by your nailbeds or cuticles. 

Have your Insta ready because the interiors are extremely beautiful. The ambiance makes for such an incredibly relaxing experience, as though you are at home. Lauren recently told me that yes, they often do have to wake up their snoozing guests who quite literally felt at home. 

Varnish Lane is currently located at 5236 44th St. NW Washington, DC 20015, with a new location coming to West End, DC soon! 


WHAT I'M LISTENING TO THIS WEEK...

Nothing new, at all (srrrrrry). I have been so uninspired musically recently and would love for you to send me all of your suggestions! Leave them in the comments below or slide into my DMs.

See ya next time <3
