Just a Hello!
Hi strangers!
Like the new ‘do?
It’s sort of a “lob,”—a long bob. I have a friend who recently graduated from the Aveda beauty school and it was all her idea. If Gwyneth is doing it, it is automatically cool, right? Hehe.
Sorry for the unannounced hiatus…I got a little sick of listening to myself and have been enjoying reading other blogs instead! This is my first try with video blogging…you can tell I am really nervous! Really, we should do a drinking game with how many times I say “thank you,” in this video…kind of ridiculous! It’s 1:40 in length…here we go…
…I think you can tell how excited I am about winning Zesty Cook’s blog makeover!
Before I go, check this baby out:
Look for it in Angela’s Shop 4 A Cause auction on Oh She Glows this Thursday! It’s quite the stash of Cadbury candy that I really hope someone bids on so I can get it out of the house!
Thanks for reading/watching (drink!)…”see” you soon!
Cheers!

You are gorgeous! I love the LOB!
I totally feel like we have met now with our videos! I really like the mystery of trying to figure out how someone speaks or acts based on their blog and then seeing if that matches with a video!
Love the video!! How fun!
You guys are going to have so much fun in Italy. I’m really excited for you!
december 8th, chocolate brownie day
Janetha: No. freaking. way. That is so awesome! And you are awesome for knowing that.
Hooray you’re back! Your’re so cute in the video. I just started buying whole pineapples and had to watch a random tutorial on YouTube to figure out how to cut it up properly. Yours would be fun to watch too.
And have fun on your trip to Florence. Isn’t it great living in Europe, you can “easily” go to these very exotic places without much hassle. Can’t wait to see your tasty travel blogs…or maybe video???
You’re so cute – loved the video

Enjoy Florence! Ooh, not sure if you’ve been before, but you should DEFINITELY check out GROM for gelato. It’s amazing! And there was another gelato place that we loved but of course I can’t remember the name right now. Let me know if you want me to look it up or if one gelato place suggestion is enough
Congrats on winning Zesty’s challenge! … although I already love your layout, but we’ll see what’s Zesty’s magic will do.
AND – I’d love to see the pineapple tutorial. I’ve never cut one!
You are so lucky for winning Zesty’s giveaway!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to see the new layout!

Love your haircut!
Jealous that you are going to Florence – that’s where my father in law is from, and I have relatives (by marriage!) who still live there.
My husband’s uncle runs a store by ponte vecchio (have no idea how to spell that!).
Yes, please show me how to cut a fresh pineapple – it’s my daughters favorite fruit!
You look gorgeous, Lara — so chic!!! Have a blast in Florence. We got engaged there (at the top of the Boboli Gardens) so it holds a special place in my heart.
Safe travels!
OH!!! I like the hair. It looks so nice!!And you are so beautiful too.
Oh my gosh. Three things:
I LOVE your new haircut, it fits and flatters you in the best way possible.
