Bad Martha Stewart!

I was a little maddened by the Martha Stewart Show last week. They did a great Earth Day show with a wonderful segment on which plastics are good versus the absolute worst ones. They then talked about switching to reusable bottles for water and how this would alleviate the pressure on the environment. Imagine my surprise when the show just 2 days later was sponsored by Nestle Life Water. Water bottles everywhere and each studio audience member also got to take home a case of the bottled stuff. Ugh.

Hair inspiration

I am not a high maintenance girl in any way shape or form. I found these photos in an old In Style magazine and I think this is the hair style I would like. My hair is halfway down my back and it is just not doing it for me anymore. Now if I could just find a hairdresser around here that will not butcher me, I think I am going to just do it! Keri Russell is a cutie by the way!

Update, I took these pictures to the hairdresser and asked for something like this - it has been two weeks and I am still crying. Worst haircut EVER.

Pavlova

I love pavlova. I love meringue and I love berries and I love cream. Pavlova is a no brainer. My mother would make it for me growing up and I never bothered to get her recipe. I found an exact replica in the strangest of places - Geoffrey Rush. Yes, that Geoffrey Rush, Oscar winning actor Geoffrey Rush. He appeared on the Martha Stewart show some time ago and they made his recipe for pavlova. It seemed vaguely familiar to me so I gave it a shot - perfection. Absolute perfection. I crave it on a semi regular basis and if you feel like giving it a go, the recipe can be found here. I do occasionally like to make mini pavlovas but for pure joy, nothing beats a big pavlova sitting on a cake pedestal just waiting to be sliced in massive wedges! Joy

Cool Lamp

I really like this little table lamp. Cool and funky!
