Lemon Garlic Hummus Recipe

I never even tried hummus until college - a moment of silence for all of those years without it. But once I discovered it, the love affair began! After trying a million different kinds, I developed preferences when it came to texture and flavor. No matter how many varieties I try, I always come back to this hummus recipe. This is one of those things that people don't realize exactly how easy it is to make at home. There is literally no prep or cook time - you just throw all of the fresh ... VIEW THIS POST

Nighttime Skincare Routine

If my mom and aunts have taught me one thing in my life, it was to take care of my skin! Whether it be on your body or face, you only get one set for your entire life so you better nurture it. (I can hear my mom and aunts clapping as they read this.) My aunt Patti always made sure I took off my makeup every night - she says this is a MUST- and my mom says to invest in a good sunscreen and apply it religiously.

Voluminous Ponytail Tutorial

One of my favorite ways to wear my hair is up in a high-pony! But sometimes, a plain old ponytail just isn't glam enough for a particular look or event. My go-to is a teased ponytail, which I did a tutorial for here but when I really want to kick it up a notch and add even more drama, I opt for a double pony. This technique brings your pony from blah to bam - seriously! It adds length, volume, and style without any extensions or heated styling tools. All you'll need for this look is: a ... VIEW THIS POST
