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...

Crustless Savory Breakfast Quiche With Veggies and Bacon

Like the rest of the recipes I've posted lately, this one is an attempt to incorporate more vegetables into my diet.

I used to think that eating well had to be all or nothing. You either threw away the entire day stuffing your face with bacon cheese fries, or you subsisted on veggies and broth. There was no in between!

I spent a good portion of last year counting calories, and what I found out was that couldn't be farther from the truth. So during a time of year that we associate with indulgence, it's the perfect time to try and balance things out with lots of vegetables, proteins, and good-for-you fats. That's where this crustless quiche has got you covered.

Cheesy, crustless breakfast quiche is packed with veggies and protein


It's cheesy. It has bacon. It's packed with vegetables and protein. And it's SO EASY to make.


Crustless Savory Breakfast Quiche with Veggies and Bacon

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 1/2-1 cup of sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup brussels sprouts
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • salt and pepper
  • 10 slices bacon, cooked
  • gouda, for topping (swiss or parmesan would work, too)

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until combined. 
  3. Chop the bell peppers and brussels sprouts into bite sized pieces.
  4. Mix together the egg and milk, cheddar cheese, garlic, salt and pepper, chopped bell pepper, mushrooms, chopped brussels sprouts, and pour into an 8x8 baking dish or similar.
  5. Chop the bacon into bite sized pieces, and layer on top of the quiche, along with the gouda (or similar cheese) until quiche is close to covered.
  6. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the center is no longer runny. 
  7. Enjoy!
You could customize this to your liking, or to whatever vegetables you have on hand, but this is super filling, and clearly packs a ton of veggies into the first meal of the day. Plus, it's pretty enough to serve to a crowd!

Curly Girl Routine for Wavies: My Secretly Wavy Hair

My hair has been straight for my entire life. Puffy-straight. "Needs time to calm down" after blow drying it, straight. Works great with extra heavy conditioner, straight.  Sure, occasionally I'd wake up with a few curls here and there, but after brushing my hair-- because brushing is a must!-- they would disappear into a puff of frizz, so I'd add some serum and calm it down. It literally never dawned on me that my straight hair struggles were happening because my hair wasn't straight. Sure, it had some  wave, sometimes, but I just assumed straight hair was the default. Mine was puffy and needed help all the time, but it was straight. It turns out, I'm not alone. In fact, this blogger  had the same realization, and the descriptions of her hair rang true for me as well. I've always had "damaged ends" or "a texture issue", even right after a major haircut. So what gives? About two years ago I decided it was time to do a big chop, and cut ...
