This may seem pretty basic, but learning how to properly do things is something I’ve been focusing on lately. It all started when I purchased my first fennel bulb (I usually used dried fennel seed), and realized I had absolutely no idea how to chop or prepare it.

Saturday DO: Be Less Freaked Out By Wheatgrass
Dec 29, 2012Ok, so this isn’t the most appetizing item to add to your diet, at least from a visual standpoint. Personally, I’ve always been a little freaked out by wheatgrass.

Saturday DO: Create A Centerpiece
Nov 03, 2012I don’t know about you, but I’ve always sort of cringed at Thanksgiving Centerpieces.

Saturday DO: Plan A Trip
Oct 27, 2012I’ve been thinking so much about travelling lately. What excites me most is that travel can happen on a large or small scale. The photo above is from a trip I took to Paris. I was there for only 24 hours and I’ve wanted to go back ever since. It’s not always easy to take (…) Read more »
