WOMEN'S ARTISTIC MOTHERHOOD | bonappetempt.com In honor of the Olympics, in particular the USA Women's National Team, Amelia Morris - a former gymnast - pens a beautifully articulate essay that parallels the unrealistic expectations of motherhood and womanhood with the complicated scoring for gymnasts that includes, not only the skill, but the artistry of how the skills are performed..."In other words, gymnastics is a sport where you have to do it all.

#TBT: How to get beachy, relaxed waves (a hair tutorial)
On Thursdays, I post from the vault. This is from January 2012. Whenever I go in to get my roots touched up, my stylist always gives me these really loose, natural waves that I can never seem to replicate on my own. She uses a flat-iron to do it, and she has made a considerable effort in trying to teach me how to do it myself. Yet no matter how much we go over it, I go home and I am all thumbs with that flat iron. I’ve also watched friends giving tutorials on the matter. My . . .

DIY: get ombre hair with rainbow tips at home (cute color for girls)
Over the summer I tend to take an “anything goes” approach to my kids’ hair and let them choose a fun color. Last year, I let them choose one color in either a streak or the tips of their hair. This year they were begging to do “rainbow hair” so I decided to try to experiment with that, and I’m loving the results. Here's a simple way to get colorful ombre tips at home using products you can find on Amazon.com. You will want hair dye in a couple colors. I recommend Jerome Russell Punky . . .
