Now that summer is here I usually spend more time outside enjoying the sun. This year I'm trying to be more cautious about protecting my skin from sun damage. So that means wearing more sunscreen, sunglasses, AND hats!! I never realized how fun hats could be and I wanted to put my own personal flair… Continue reading The Fancy Navajo Hat

I Love Pink
Some of my favorite things include pink, sweets, and coffee. I tried my first meringue around Easter and I have been hooked ever since. I've seen meringues around before, but they didn't peak my interest until I saw them in the new Cinderella movie. There is just something  very cute and feminine about them.  I'll… Continue reading I Love Pink
