it's that time again

last time my hair saw scissors was in december.
it needs a little snip like woah.

my sister works at at gioia hair salon & gets a great friends and fam discount so i'm going in tomorrow for a cut & blow dry. one of my favorite parts of going to a hair salon is when you walk out the door feeling like a million bucks because of the amazing blowout you just received, it's like the icing on the cake. not to mention the head massage while getting your shampoo! i love my long hair and am going to keep the length, but definitely need to cut off the ends & shape it up a little bit. 
here are my inspiration photos:

but secretly i would like to have this sophisticated cut:

weekend plans

starting our weekend off right with a couples massage this morning. yay! 

i have to work later today, but tomorrow we will be running a mock set-up for the "booth" we will open in the wildflower festival where we will be vendors. we basically just want to open the tent we bought & make sure we have enough tables, signage and ways to display our products. mel is bringing over jewelry trees and other ideas we have, can't wait to see how it turns out! the festival is next saturday, and since it's our first time being a vendor at a festival, or any event for that matter, we are both nervous and excited. having no idea what to expect definitely makes it all the more curious. pictures to come, but in the meantime here is a pretty one from my pintrest of pink tulips & a lovely farmhouse :)

what are your plans this weekend?

fit is not a destination, it's a way of life

a quote from my friend sammi, who works at crowbar cardio "fit is not a destination, it's a way of life." i love that! she kicked my butt the other day in a barre class that she taught; it was my first time & i loved it! 3-days later and i'm still feeling the pain. it was a high-energy, low impact workout, which i loved. it really pushed my to my limits and i just kept going. today my friend, dandi, and i are going to try indo row, which should be fun hard.

dek & i saw divergent last night, which was pretty good.

 dekel & i enjoyed one of the BEST breakfasts we have had since moving to dallas last year at coffee house cafe this morning. i had the a breakfast sandwich with bacon, cheddar & egg whites on cinnamon-infused french toast, which was completely decadent and amazing. dek had a ginormous breakfast burrito with beans, egg, jalapenos, potatos, cheese & salsa, which he devoured.
