    Ever since I started working nights, I've just been spending wayyy too much time napping during the day and not enough time grocery shopping. Hubby wanted to try a food delivery service. The frugal person that I am will deep down always think these services are a waste of money. It cost me $10 for one of these meals and I was able to buy all the ingredients for all 3 recipes for $20. HOWEVER! It is well worth the price if you seriously can't find the time to go grocery shopping / just don't feel like going out. My husband definitely thinks it's worth it for our situation.

    You get to choose which recipes you want each week.
    These were our picks.


    The Pat Lafrieda burger with crispy cauliflower bites


    The little condiments are sooo cute. I love tiny things!


    I burnt the cauliflower! T.T
    But it was still pretty good.

    We've been trying Hello Fresh for 2 weeks now, and we have loved every single recipe we have chosen. The ingredients are high quality, and packaged well. Recipes are simple recipes, very easy to make. Nothing out of this world though, definitely recipes you can make yourself at home (I was able to recreate all the recipes on my own). We love the variety of eating something different each week. If I cooked, it is usually the same 5 recipes over and over. Now I can add what I've learned into my 'repertoire' ;)

    I get my brows done at Tai Brows DC by Kira. This was my 3rd time getting my brows done by her (2nd touch-up). My first session was in December 2014 - it's been 2 years (photos below)! I found her through saaammage. I fell in love with the way Kira did her 'stroke patterns'... they looked so natural! Kira had just gotten her cosmetics licensing at the time, but she had only done microblading on a few people. Her prices were still cheap, and I felt like I had found a gold mine 'cause I thought she was so talented. At the time, I had been looking for the perfect artist to do my brows for YEARS. I just hadn't found the person who could make it look natural enough, especially for brows like mine, which were almost non-existent. My favorite part about Kira is that she really takes her time with her clients, she never rushes the process. She took an hour drawing the brow shape for a friend of mine and only moved on until my friend was satisfied. Real customer service!

    Healing process


    2nd touch-up
    Dry healing. Brows untouched for the first week (no makeup, face wash, etc.)
    Day 1:

    Brows appear super dark from the redness underneath.

    Day 2:

    Brows still appear dark but redness underneath starting to fade.





    Day 3:

    I think my brows looked the best on this day.

    Day 4:

    You will start to notice some peeling...
    It is important not to scratch/pick at the scabs. Just let them fall off naturally -- VERY HARD TO DO! Thankfully for me I didn't have anywhere to go while I was healing.

    Day 8:

    Most of the scabs have fallen off... You will notice I still have some scabbing left on my left eyebrow, near the top.
    My skin looks pink underneath and the brow markings have faded. This is normal. I was told the markings will darken up within a couple of weeks. But oh how I wish they stayed as dark as they did on 'day 3' !

    2 weeks later:

    Completely healed brows. The strokes stayed super fine, and I maintained most of the pigment!
    The strokes have also darken back up as promised.

    A brief history...


    My first session, December 2014

    I was bald !!! Microblading changed my life.

    1st touch-up, 2015

    It is vital that you go for a touch-up right after your first session because it fades a lot.

    Kira's technique has changed so much since my first session with her. She supports "dry healing" now, which evidently retains the pigment better. She also uses a better numbing cream (I only felt light pressure), which I loved because I have a very low tolerance for pain. Her stroke patterns have also changed! I didn't think I could love my brows even more. I am OBSESSED with them.

    If you're interested, I also made a FIRST IMPRESSION video:
