So yeah, it totally happened last night.
We heard a series of sirens and thought it was just a car accident. Then we heard a BOOM! that shook our windows, even making Sushi wonder what was going on.
Maks finally went outside to investigate (with Bear in tow) and discovered a fire right above us.

So, I recently did a splurge on Bear's gift. He's an only child thus far so he often gets a lot of toys and really for no reason other than he's stinkin' adorable and Mommy and Daddy are saps.
This is a toy Maks and I were contemplating getting for Bear for quite some time. While I'm a little bummed I overspent on this toy (I found it elsewhere for

As I mentioned before, finding a great leave-in can be rather a chore. You have to have something that conditions your hair but is not overpowering or sticky. It's tough in these natural streets!
I found a great leave-in for not only myself, but really, for my entire family! Yeah, when I saw this works on all hair types, I sincerely mean that.
ALL.

So, mattes and bold colors are trending this year. Kinda odd if you think about it? Two shades that are on the opposite spectrums are trending and in a big way!
Recently, I had the honor to have enough money to do some splurging (and believe me, both colors were splurges) to go drop some cash at the local Sephora. Let's check out NARS first.
I'm a huge NARS fan. I
