Hair Products - Toni&Guy and Vatika


I am not a particularly high-maintenance person when it comes to hair either, and I find that adding product to my hair just makes it greasier and weighed down. I wash my wavy/curly hair (it has a mind of its own) (I used to hate my hair so much in high school!) every 3-4 days on average. My scalp gets oilier the quickest, and my ends can get pretty dry. Since cutting my hair, however, I've tried taking a bit more time to style it and take care of it. And here is where these products come in:

Raw Tuna Tostadas


I'm apparently quickly turning into a food blog. Or, it might just be that with all my new free time, I have been cooking (and eating) far more than I should be. Either way, I made tuna tostadas and they were absolutely delicious. Some people might not be too keen on raw fish, but everyone at my house happens to love it so....here it is!

Vegan Orange and Chocolate Cookies


During a quick run to Jewel to get condensed milk for the rice pudding my mom was making that evening for a class she tutors in (though she ended up not taking it!), my brother and I found some chocolate chip cookies we could enjoy ourselves. After all, that day was national chocolate chip cookie day (so that definitely excuses our indulgence, right?!) and we had to partake in such a holiday! Organic, dairy-free ones were bought, and that got me thinking about how much better it would be to make them at home. Enter this: Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe from a site called Daily Rebecca.
