You may have noticed cooler temperatures creep into New England this week and the need to grab a warm jacket or wool sweater.

So today, I’m going to share some of my go-to hair accessories along with how…

Location  •   Deerfield, MA

On average, I like to steer away from posts that could come off as complaining or ranting about my job or the blogging industry; because when push comes to shove I’m obsessed with this industry and my job.
