Reading List: Steelheart

Steelheart, by Brandon Sanderson, is one of my favorite books that I have read this year. I usually lean towards love stories rather than sci-fi action books but I was enthralled in this novel from the get-go.

This series is similar to X-Men  and Heroes in that some people have extended powers and others don't. But in this world, the ones with super powers are ruling the world at the expense of everyone else. Grab a copy of the book and follow a group of people who are trying to right society and level out power structures.

Be warned... this is only book 1 of a series that doesn't come out until 2014.

R.I.P. Pixie Cut

It is official, my pixie cut is dead and I've transitioned to a bob. 

The pixie and I had our moments of fun but I think my boss said it best, "it's cute on you but it changed your personality." We both may be crazy, but I agree. 

Be A Man, Joe Ehrmann at Tedx

In mid-October my little nephew will enter the world. As his parents raise him, I firmly believe that their community, church and friends also play a big role in helping to nurture and develop him. That means I too will have a small part in contributing to the man Noah becomes.

That's a lot of responsibility!

Emily's Fail Safe Dinner for 2

The other day I was at a loss of what to cook for dinner and I made the critical mistake of wandering around Safeway hoping to find inspiration.

High School

It feels like people side with either loving high school or hating it.

Unfortunately I am in the latter camp.

Crop Top

I wouldn't label myself a person that follows trends... my personal style just happens to be a little bit trendy right now.

I wear a fit & flare dress or shirt/flare skirt combo nearly every day. Although I love having my favorite style of clothing in every store and e-commerce site, I am won't mind when the trends change and I look different than every other girl on the street.

But I will admit to have a small trend crush on the crop top.

Hello old friend...
