How to Do Dip Powder Nails

 Staying at home means avoiding the nail salon, and as someone who always  smudges regular nail polish (seriously, how is it possible that they can still  be ready to smear by the time I go to bed?), I have a newfound appreciation for the variety of modern manicure solutions available. I previously reviewed Ohora's at-home gel strips , which are a great option for hassle-free designs. Another option that I really like, even though I am far  from a pro, is dip powder. Dip powder is essentially an acrylic powder that contains pigments or glitters. You purchase a set of liquids that can be used with the powders of your choice for a quick and clean manicure that requires very little dry time. Dip powder is easily accessible, and if you're new to dip nails in general, I'd suggest a reasonably priced option for practice. I started with the Lavender Violets brand on Amazon, which comes with a set of powders + all the liquids you need for a beginner. I did find that the l...

Mustard Panko Crusted Flounder

I've always liked mustard with fish. I had it growing up, and thought this was a common thing, but according to my husband this is not the case.

Weird or not? I'll let you decide. There's no better to try it than with this super simple, gluten-free optional, mustard panko crusted flounder.

However it came about, I decided to incorporate that mustard flavor into this flounder recipe to make it look a little more appealing, and to incorporate a few great, simple flavors and textures.

The measurements are all approximate, and this recipe is easy enough to have on your table in about 20 minutes, tops!

Mustard Panko Crusted Flounder

  • 4 flounder fillets, thawed
  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard
  • thyme, to taste
  • 2 tbsp gluten free panko breadcrumbs (I used gluten free, but there is no reason regular would not work if you are not eating gluten free)

Instructions

  1. Start by greasing a baking pan, and preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Lay the flounder fillets on the baking sheet.
  3. Top with 1/2 tbsp of mustard per fillet, and spread evenly over the top.
  4. Sprinkle with thyme.
  5. Top with breadcrumbs.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes. If not golden brown, feel free to broil for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve immediately.
    8.

Yum! Read on for the recipe. Apple Cinnamon Sheet Pancakes Ingredients: 1 cup gluten free bisquick 2 tbsp cooking oil of choice, plus a little for greasing the pan 1 egg 1 cup milk 1/2 tsp cinnamon, plus extra for...

Sustainable Style: Are Rothy's All Hype or Plastic's Happily Ever After?

If you're a woman who has spent any time on social media, you've likely seen the ads for Rothy's. These sustainable flats have been seen on the feet of Silicon Valley tech professionals, celebrities, and politicians. There are Rothy's fan clubs that trade and sell "unicorn" shoes, or those discontinued but highly coveted colors and patterns, who share pictures of colorful shoe collections. But do these plastic shoes live up to the hype? It took me a while to take the plunge, and I think it's worth sharing the good, the bad, and the confusing so that you can make a decision about whether or not this shoe brand is right for you. I am just a consumer and am not being compensated in any way for this review. All opinions are just that-- opinions, and should be treated as such. Now, on to the fun part! About a year ago I tried out Rothy's new-at-the-time Chelsea boot, which is honestly less of a boot, and more of a high top slip-on sneak...
