It's Friday!

1.  I had a hair appointment yesterday! This isn't the best quality picture but I did get it ombréd. It is pretty subtle but that is what I wanted. I will take a better quality picture and post it soon. 

2. I got some Converse All-Stars in Peach. My first choice was mint but they didn't have them in my size. Word of advice, they run big (like a size or more than a half size). I thought these would be perfect and comfy for walking around DC. Speaking of which. I am super excited. I leave tomorrow!

3. So...I went for a run for the first time in...lets just say a VERY long time this week. It was bad, very bad. I should say that it was more of a walk than a run. Also, if you don't have Nike+ for your phone (Android, iPhone) or iPod, I highly suggest it. 

4. I made these gold dipped feathers this week after I had seen them on Pinterest and something similar on From My Grey Desk Blog. They turned out differently than I expected but I love them. 

Oh, How Pinteresting

I should start off by saying I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest. On one hand, I love it, for a bunch of reasons. I find hundreds and hundreds (literally) of great DIY tips, makeup and hair ideas, and amazing recipes. On the other hand...I can easily spend hours and hours pinning without realizing. It has become one of my go-to ways to procrastinate.  

Zucchini Brownies

At work we've been on a "healthy" kick and have been taking turns bringing in a healthy snack each day to share with our co-workers. I made these last week and they were actually a big hit. I will admit they had a bit of a funky smell to them but they were extremely moist and delicious as far as a zucchini, applesauce, banana brownie would go.  

Dodecahedron Pendant Light

I've had my eye on this dodecahedron light for a while now.  A DIY version has been posted by View Along the Way which I would love to try and make...although it seems like there's a lot of math and angels involved.

Subtle Ombre Hair

So, I'm thinking of jumping on the ombre bandwagon. I realize that I'm about a year and a half late...and it may or may not be on its way out (or completely out) but I think I need a change. I think it's safe to say I'm afraid of commitment when it comes to my hair..but that's a whole post on its own. Lets just leave it at...I found these two really nice subtle ombre pins.  

Gold Dipped Feathers

I love these gold dipped feathers. I think they would look pretty in a clear vase. I have also seen them hung on a string like a garland. 


I'm linking up with the The Vintage Apple for Oh, How Pinteresting Wednesday.
