Just cause I said it doesn't mean that I meant it. People say crazy things.

Tomato Salad!

Ingredients:

Peach vinaigrette dressing


About 2 lb. tomatoes


3 ounces crumbled goat cheese


1/2 cup coarsely chopped toasted pecans


Optional freshly ground pepper

Peach Vinaigrette Dressing:
1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil (I reduced it to 1/2 tablespoon)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 large fresh peach, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Whisk together balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, brown sugar, olive oil, and salt.
Then stir in diced peach and chopped basil.

This recipe is just a guideline.
When putting it all together, make it to your own taste.
To begin:
Start with however many tomato slices you plan on eating.

Sprinkle the toasted chopped pecans on next.

Follow the pecans with goat (feta) cheese crumbles.

Add as much of the Peach Vinaigrette as you'd like.
Possibly follow with ground pepper.
And...
Bon Appétit!

Forget about your house of cards

LIE: When going for an elegant look, the hair style must be ornate, like a statement of its own.

LACE:(The beautiful, yet delicate truth to the typical hair myths that girls often buy into) When attempting to achieve a certain look, don't confine your hair to one style or another. Instead incorporate several
different styles to make up a completely new style of your own.

The loose curls dressed up an otherwise typical half up half down do.

Don't let the seemingly simple front fool you. Although this style is pretty basic, the pieces pulled back and twisted lend the back view of this half-do an elegant simplicity.
Make sure to hide the bobby pins by crossing the second section over the first and then pinning that second side underneath the first and out of sight.

Out of sight out of mind...
Your hair style becomes a magic trick!
I finished the look with simple pulled back bangs with a couple loose strands.
Depending on your hair cut, do what fits best with your style.
Happy styling!
