It’s officially summer which means it’s time for tan lines, barbecues, street fairs and fireworks. Summer also stirs up a crazy itch in me to do something nutty and funky to my hair. So, I had my hair colored PINK (pastel pink to be more accurate)! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been anything…
New Orleans: Delta disaster to the Dirty Thirty
HELLO! K. Bendy here 🙂 Apologies for the small hiatus. Life for the KB ladies has been a little hectic. Moving, job personnel changes, outside work obligations, and a new kitten (stay tuned for my next blog about the cuteness). But, without further ado, let me tell you all about my  trip to The Big…
Paris Gets my Stamp of Approval
A few years ago, I wrote up a list of things I’d like to accomplish before I turned 30, which is this April 17th (feel free to send positive bday wishes if inclined). This was a relatively short list including: go horseback riding, which I did in the Pisgah National Forrest with my mom last…
Birthday Wine tour: Yadkin Valley, NC
Day Trip to Yadkin Valley vineyards.
Planned Pooling: Controlled Chaos or Complete Cluster??
K. Bendy here! So, remember a few weeks ago when I showed you my yarn stash, and promised to update  you when I decided which project to start up again? Yeah, me too. The funny thing about trying to get inspired to crochet (or any diy craft) is you go searching around the internet. For…
Coffee Cream Delight
Many nights I come home from work and watch TV while eating my left overs from earlier in the week. I especially love the PBS Create channel, mostly for the cooking shows with impressive international chefs. Its mindless entertainment that I can unwind to and really enjoy seeing new recipes. The other day, the queen…
Getting back on the Hook
Back in 2010 or 11, I had to have a second knee surgery. It was summer, and I was an undergrad with no optional summer courses. IE, bored out of my mind. I was working in a lab at the time, but not full time, and had more free time than I would know what…
Thin and Fine is a Bad Thing?
I’ll just go ahead and say it, having thin and fine hair is a pain in the you know what. Those of us who are lucky, YES! lucky, enough to have it are often annoyed by the limp and lackluster strands. However, I’m going to share my 5 favorite products for styling your otherwise meh…
Volunteering ROCKS!
This past weekend was JAM PACKED for this little introvert. Luckily, Friday night was really chill. Stayed home and made (more) sweet potato cookies, as well as a sweet potato/chicken/black bean/enchilada sauce casserole. Am I during orange yet?? Saturday during the day I was able to charge my social batteries. Sat in the yard with the…
Date Night in the Queen City
This weekend my boyfriend and I decided to have a much needed date night out in Charlotte. We wanted to wear something nice, sip on fancy drinks, eat new and interesting foods. Thankfully, his awesome parents surprised us with a gift certificate to one of the coolest Asian/American restaurants in uptown, Fahrenheit. Located on the…
Sweet Potato COOKIES?!
I’m a fanatic of sweet potatoes. I could eat them every day. Nothing fancy either, I prefer them plain. Just a fork please! In fact, it irritates me when people over sweeten them. Once a year (for Thanksgiving) I make “candied yams” with an insane amount of butter, dark corn syrup, and brown sugar. BUT…
Burn Baby Burn
I am what most people would call a yo-yo dieter, I am either 100% or zilch when it comes to working out and dieting. As of late, I’ve been extremely lazy and my pants have been getting tighter every day. And because I refuse to buy bigger jeans (or wear leggings every day), I’ve decided…
