A few years ago I decided to go blonder than my usual highlights. I wanted to be platinum so badly and, despite every colorist's plea not to do it, I went for it anyway. And I loved it! Having a chic short bob with the platinum blonde was and will be my favorite look ever.

1. Cheer on Netflix (TV show): If you haven't seen Cheer yet, I can pretty much guarantee that all of your friends have told you to watch it. I'm joining them and shouting it from the highest of mountaintops. Go binge Cheer and then we can talk dedication and athleticism and hope and positivity. The kids in this show are absolutely inspiring and while at first I admittedly thought it sounded stupid, I was hooked after the first episode.
I had originally titled this post "The book that every woman should read" but scratch that... This is the book that every woman and man should read.

When it's cold and drizzly out, like it's been for most of this week, all I want to eat are soups and stews. Many of my soup recipes are meat-based, but Anel and I are trying to eat plant-based dinners at least 3x/week so I've been on the hunt for a vegan soup that is both hearty and full of flavor.
