Summer, a time when the humidity is approximately 1000% most of the time and sweating is a daily occurrence #moist. This summer, I have really tried to alter my hair care routine (allegedly it's bad to wash your hair every day), and here's what I have been doing.
Read MoreSingle Lady Food
I'm single. It's a fact and a choice at this point in my life. Sometimes that makes cooking for one difficult, I normally end up with tons of leftovers and am eating stuffed peppers all week. But, I've found some go-to Single Lady dinner staples, one of which is the Polenta Bowl.

This past weekend, I attended a larger-scale concert. I was visiting friends in an urban area, and a friend of a friend happened upon some free tickets to a band that I did not hate, but wouldn't have shelled out $35 to go see (I'm not intentionally being cagey about the details, but the band and city are irrelevant, let's not focus on that). The crowd was a mixed bag of suburban yuppies in the city for a night on the town, their young children, wealthy hippies past their prime surreptitiously smoking pot, their young children, twentysomething hipsters that hadn't realized they've already sold out, and me.
