I’ve been missing lately. Well not really missing, just absent from the Internet. If you follow me on Instagram you may already know that I was in California for the week at a conference for school. The week was chock full of new information, interesting presentations, tons of free pens, meeting new friends, good music, Disneyland, and very little sleep. Here’s just a small taste of what my week looked like.

Good Friday morning!  Today is normally the day that I reveal my baking friend for the month.  Well, things happen.  Life happens.  So I promise to share my lovely goodies really soon!

This weekend Josh and I are going home for Easter and I am so excited.  As much as I hate driving endless hours home, I love spending time with both of our families.  And what a reason to celebrate too.  Easter.  Jenna wrote one of the most beautiful posts about the Easter season yesterday that you guys have to check out.

And for some reason this morning, my excitement made me think of this video.  I love Kristen Wiig so much!  Enjoy.

1. Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Dry Shampoo – LOVE this stuff!!!  With winter’s cold dry weather and classes being busy as ever I can’t afford to wash my hair every day.  (All honesty here folks, no judging please)  This stuff is amazing!  I’ve tried several dry shampoos and this one is by far my favorite.  First, it’s like 3 dollars at Target.  Second, it smells amazing.  Third, it lets me go at least a day longer between shampoos.  Soaks up the oil, gives amazing texture…  They says it’s as good as Bumble and Bumble and I would have to agree.

2. Fage Total 0% Greek Yogurt – We buy 3 giant containers of this at a time at Costco.  1 6oz serving has 18 g of protein and 100 calories.  I used to be a Chobani freak, now I’m a fah-yay convert.  I always buy the plain, then use it in recipes, or add vanilla stevia drops and fresh fruit to make my own yogurt creations.

3.  Blood Oranges - I love blood orange season.  These pink/red gems are only in season for a short time each year.  They are slightly sweeter than normal oranges, and look absolutely beautiful in recipes.  Perfect for Valentine’s day coming up.

4.  Rose Gold Heart Ring – Speaking of Valentine’s day.  I am in lust with this dainty rose gold ring.  I’m normally not one for jewelry with hearts, but this ring is just so dainty and beautiful.

5.  YOLO – Personally I think that SNL has been a little lacking this season, but this digital short with Adam Levine had Josh and I in stitches (do people still say that???) last weekend.  My favorite part was around 0:35 – protect your ears people!!!
