Gluten Free...

For those of you who know me well know that I have had a history of stomach aches and headaches...

Lately they have gotten worse and no doubt that it is probably due to my insane 75hr a week schedule and too many runs through the fast food window...last week I decided to do a cleanse, restart and try to eat better. I did a healthy grapefruit cleanse that included a half a grapefruit at the beginning of each meal, eggs and bacon for breakfast, and salad and meat for lunch and dinner. There was also a list of things I could and couldn't eat.

During the week that I was on the cleanse I didn't have a single stomach ache or headache - amazing!!! but I missed bread and sugar and all the delicious foods that life offers - 

After the cleanse I went back to normal eating habits but no fast food. This also meant that my stomach and headaches came back. After much research and observing eating habits I'm suspecting that I might have an allergy to gluten... 

so here I go - - - Gluten Free - - - 

it's not going to be fun or easy, but it would be better then dealing with the constant stomach and headaches that I deal with daily! I also found this blog: gluten free goddess with tons of delicious recipes so this week I'm trying her chicken soup - wish me luck!

It's Official!

I have been accepted into LDSBC for Fall 2010 

Classes will start Sept 13th

so...I will be moving up to Salt Lake, living in the Avenues 
in a house with 8 girls! Yikes!

I can't wait!

Salon of the Week #1

I know I put up a salon yesterday but I'm going to start a salon highlight of the week. And this week's salon of the week is...DEXTERITY salon in Salt Lake City!
Located at 777 E 300 S Salt Lake City UT 84102

Their name Dexterity means 1) Mental skill or quickness 2) Skill and ease in using the hands 


Service List: Woman's cuts $30-$85 Men's cuts $20-53 Colors starting at $40 or $50 and up. They also offer chemical straightening, perms, extensions, bridal services, and make-up. They also have some really creative photo shoots, I think I found the hair cut I want someday when I go short, someday.


They use dermalogica and bumble&bumble, Jeff Martin (one of the stylists) teaches classes to salons, they have an apprenticeship program, and you can even volunteer to be a model for their weekly classes. Their most recent event involved participation in a Holiday Coat Drive during Nov. and Dec. donating coats to the Salvation Army. Sounds like a cool salon don't you think? 

So check it out for yourself...DEXTERITY

bored online...didn't know it could happen did ya?!

I was looking at Salon equipment and came across this really cool salon, it looks like it would fit perfectly in Portland don't you think??

The natural lighting - the bright white - the open windows!

ahh I'm inspired!
