Hairstyles Man and Woman

One of the most diverse hair lengths is medium length hair. It is commonly considered the perfect compromise between short and long hair in many ways. When your hair is either short or long, you are oftentimes limited to styling choices that normally coincide with these respective lengths. Medium length hair lends itself to the possibility of even more options and greater flexibility by incorporating the benefits of being not too short and not too long. When styled just right, a medium length cut can also help to frame and accentuate your best facial features. Simplified hair maintenance is another benefit not to be overlooked. Generally, the less hair you have the easier it can be to maintain. The first great look is the diffused style. Anyone can achieve this wavy style of hair even if you think that your hair does not contain any natural wave. The fact is that almost everyone contains a natural wave. The following tips and suggestions can help bring out that hidden wave. Start with ...

Its been a little while since I posted about my pregnancy, so I figured I'd give you all a break from the cooking posts for a bit and let you know how things are going so far. I'm officially more than halfway through this pregnancy, which is insane to me!  I feel like I just peed on the little stick like 3 weeks ago!  I'm not sure I did such a good job documenting how life went when I was pregnant with AJ, and I know I haven't done a good job at all so far this time around, so I think I'm going to start trying to get better about posting on a (somewhat) weekly basis. Here's how my pregnancy with baby girl #2 is going so far. Physically: I'm doing pretty well.  I feel like I'm definitely showing (bigger, sooner, faster!) than with AJ, but that is apparently normal with subsequent pregnancies.  I tweaked something in my back sometime last week and was basically an invalid for about 5 days.  We'd run our necessary errands or do some chores around the ho...

So, a few days ago I blogged about how I was going to make 75,000 freezer meals during the month of November and promised I'd come back and update you all on how they taste, how easy they were to prepare, all that.  Well, I can officially say that this weekend I made most of the recipes to which I posted links. Here's how it went. Saturday afternoon I threw a bunch of stuff in a huge stock pot to make a big batch of Chili .  This recipe is big enough that I can make a single batch and have enough for about 4 meals (one for the night I make it, and then 3 to freeze).  Since its just me and D who eat Chili (AJ refuses), the recipe itself actually makes 8 large servings.  This weekend I made a veggie version of the recipe , mostly because all the other freezer meals I made had meat in them and I didn't want to buy anymore meat than I already had.  It turned out great. Yesterday morning I set out to make the 7 (actually 8) crockpot freezer meals from this post on t...

In an effort to curb grocery costs and make life easier for myself, I've been researching and saving recipes for meals that I can prepare ahead of time that freeze well. When I was pregnant with AJ, one of the best things I did was make and freeze about 7 meals that we were able to pull out of the freezer after she was born.  In the first days of new motherhood, it was invaluable to know that dinner was in the freezer if sh!t hit the fan.  I'm planning to do the same preparation a few weeks before baby #2 arrives. In the past three years, it seems that crock pot cooking and freezer meals have become way more popular and I've found a few websites that have some great-looking recipes I'm going to test-run before the baby arrives.  One main site is the Six Sisters' Website.  They claim that you can prepare and complete 8 dinners in just over an hour.  I am planning to test their theory this month. I also have a few of my own recipes that I know freeze well that my ...
