Week/ends

Been road biking a lot lately, took this shot while in motion. Ya.

My cousins farm fresh eggs

My mother skied Tucker man's ravine. Bad Ass Bitch.

Naughty.

Braids and Bread








        I have always been a huge fan of braids; however, I didn't have sisters to practice on or patience to learn.  I did learn to fishtail this summer and it was life changing.  There really is nothing like a messy braid on a hot summer night or cool spring day.  Which made me think of bread...I love bread and I love braids and here are some breads that could inspire some fashion friendly hair!

This is a regular blondie braid.

This is an ombre hair bread...so in right now!

This is a fishtail  hair bread, stuffed with fruit and cheese could you die?

Toad Stools!

Happy Easter/passover/spring equinox...I made meringue shrooms.  Although I am no baker, these little guys were too cute and festive not to try and make.  They are time consuming, but people got a kick out of them so they were worth the pain in the ass.
Little spring toad stools!

Some resembled mushrooms
