My brother requested some printed pictures. (He's overseas right now with the army.)

I'm thankful to be able to grant that wish with some impromptu family pictures. This one is one of my favorites!

If you're in the service industry and are looking for some great coaching look no further. If you aren't in the service industry but own a business or want some insight for your small business/ social media... this would also be a great opportunity.

Britt has been my coach for my business behind the chair for a couple years now. And since the beginning of my career, my income from the salon doubled.

I'm trying to get more veggies in my regular diet... Aaaaand for it to taste good. (I'm a CARB-avor, what can I say?) Yesterday I made stuffed peppers. They are so yummy! I'm not sure why I had never made them before. 🤷‍♀️

A few changes I made:
1) It makes a lot of "stuffing" so next time I might cut the peppers in half and bake them "open-faced" - then you get to add more cheese too. 😁
2) to "pre-cook" the peppers I just put them in the microwave for 3 min with a little water in the bottom of my pan. (no wrap needed)
3) I used quinoa instead of rice. I like the texture and it's more protein. And currently easy to find at the grocery store. 😆 🍚

Next up is red curry lentil soup!

Classic stuffed peppers with rice, ground beef, and a rainbow of sweet red, yellow and orange bell peppers makes the best dinner idea any night of the week.

I think that I could be friends with the architect who designed this part of the O'Hare airport.

We had just made it past security and I stopped. Just in awe. The natural light. The rose gold. The flags. All of it.

I had lots of funny looks as I stood in the middle of the large hallway. But I think it was worth it. 😍

Before we left for our anniversary trip I had comments about how awful O'Hare is to get around. And while it was wildly different than my everyday surroundings, I definitely think it's all about your mindset.

So, here's to deciding you're going to have a good week before you even have lunch. 💋

This picture is brought to you by the fact that my nail polish matched their packaging and I came back to document it. 😆

In other news... I fell prey to one of my Instagram ads for Billie. I'm pretty much in love. I've spent a dumb amount of money on razors, shave creams, butters, and exfoliants, even waxing. Me and my sensitive legs are not looking back.

Here's why:

💙The blades (5) are SHARP & surrounded by a charcoal shave soap.
💙You pick your subscription - I'm at 4 blades every 3 months. But I can skip or change it anytime,
💙They give you a magnetic holder. Its fun to use and keeps your razor out of any puddles.
💙The shave butter is fabulous - and contains all good things.
💙FREE SHIPPING - what it says is what you pay!
💙Nickel-Free!
💙Made in the USA.
💙I don't have chicken-pock legs anymore 😆

Thanks for listening to my Wookie Ted Talk. - Message me and I'll send you a referral link. 😉
