(via How to Curl Your Hair - Lo Bosworth (Super Easy Tutorial))

I’ve been doing the Cupcakes & Cashmere method of curling for years, and it’s time to switch it up.

Lo to the rescue! It’s very similar results, but this is much easier in my opinion, since you can let the clamp close.

This is how I’ve been doing it since I went long. Never fails me.

“Spotted: A prince at the White House.

Yesterday, Prince Harry of Wales joined First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden for the Mother’s Day tea with military families.”

(whitehouse.)

[busydizzylife]

while this is great and all, doesn't anyone think it's a little insensitive to invite prince harry to all of these mother's day activities?

I did a recommendation round-up in 2011 and thought it might be good to do one for 2012 too! I didn’t read as many books this year as I did last year, but I guess that’s what happens when you start going to bed at 9:30. (Last night I fell asleep reading and dropped my Kindle on my face. Nice.) 

Here are my top five books I read this year:

Best Fiction: The Light Between Oceans by M. L. Stedman (My review) and 11/22/63 by Stephen King (My review)

Best Nonfiction: The Secret Race by Tyler Hamilton with Daniel Coyle (My review)

Best Memoir: Wild by Cheryl Strayed (My review) 

Best Parenting Book: Nurtureshock by Po Bronson & Ashley Merryman (My review)

So I don't forget...

[adulting]

Have you ever had a shitty houseguest? Ha, rhetorical question! Shitty houseguests are as tough to avoid in the early 20s as ill-conceived hookups and inadvertent racism. But it doesn’t have to be this way. No. You can be sweet and pleasant and behave in a way that will make people want you to...
