Three Ways To Get Pink Hair

Why should Easter eggs have all the fun? There should be PASTEL for EVERYONE!

While I may have disregarded the pink trend last year, thinking pink hair went out of style along with bands like Simple Plan, the thought of wearing a dainty Easter frock with a candy pink french braid this spring is just too tempting to resist. And so…

Three Simply Ways to Go Pink:

1. Chalk it up!

Some People Should NOT Celebrate Black History

And the person who put this display out is one of them. 

I knew Black History Month was going sideways when Borders Bookstore decided to make a bookend display of insightful works such a book written by a video-hoe turned gold-digger and another by a newly out-of-the-closet Basketball player. 

If the death of Soul Train guy and my love Whitney Houston wasn't proof that we need to re-think this whole Black History Month thing, then my not knowing Soul Train guy's name should seal the deal. 

Just saying. 

Whitney Houston: The Girl Who Was On Fire

I'm having a "I need a moment" moment, buried in an igloo of covers listening to the Whitney Houston Vevo channel. Ehem...I'm getting verklemped and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I just wanted to take a moment to pay respect one of my all-time favorite singers. The soundtrack to The Bodyguard will forever remain one of the greatest movie soundtracks for me. That movie got me to view Kevin Costner as the sexiest man on the planet! I digress... Honestly, that girl was on fire. She was absolutely gorgeous with this powerfully hypnotic voice, and I'm so sad that we all had to watch her lose it all.

Anyway this is me saying R.I.P. to Whitney Houston. I hope she's "dancing with somebody" (preferably a good-looking angel) in a Bobby Brown-free heaven.

Potato Gratin with Thyme & Tomato: Improvising from Pinterest

I ate like a queen today, thanks to the many recipes on Pinterest. I dont need to tell you how obsessed I am with pinning. Every girl worth her salt has got to be a pin-head by now. The original recipe can be found HERE but I made some changes. The original recipie is creamier and more decatant. My recipie is a little bit healthy and rustic

Ich Bin ein Berliner Does Not Mean What's in Your Wallet

German Bread Haus- The most amazing bakery in South Florida

There are two completly different realities of what happend yesterday. Yeserday I decided to make a blog trip to THE best bakery in South Florida, or at least Broward County: German Bread Haus. This little hidden gem is tucked away in Fort Laudedale, about a stoplight east of I-95 and Commercial Blvd. 

Yesterday I boarded a train in Berlin, likely headed for some clandestine mission to an ex Soviet country and armed with a stun gun and a wallet full of fake identities. 

Orgasmic Poppy Seed Pastry

I discovered this bakery last weekend and I've been raving about it ever since. Freshly baked treats sprinkled with whole grains and organic goodness. The fresh bread is delicious and the desserts...gah! The desserts are honestly too fantastic for me to even attempt to describe. Everything is baked fresh with love and organic flour. Walk in and the scent of warm sugar and wheat envelope you. 

The two realities converged somewhere between me biting into a warm, coconut filled, chocolate cookie delivered fresh from the oven by a young man I like to call "real life Peeta", and perusing the adorable little comic book store next door. 

Well you haven't made it big until someone in Europe has hacked into your bank account. And apparently while I was picking out gingerbread men at German Bread Haus, my card was actually racking up charges in Germany, boarding trains in Berlin and all that jazz. My adorably dorky friend (Dan) reminded me that only spies board trains in Berlin (that's how much TV we watch). He's right. Obviously there's some serious espionage going on. Espionage involving Eastern European thugs in tracksuits. 

Fresh Apple Strudel. Hot out the oven

While my bank investigates I plan on living off of apple strudel. 

I'm going to keep updating with weekly post as part of my new Broward County Treasures series. As you know, I spent the summer discovering cool things to do in South Florida like the Art Walk and grape stomping. Now I'm going to focus on discovering what there is to do around these parts (Broward) besides dying of old age! 

Stay tuned.
