Jenna and I spent the day at the Philadelphia Art Museum, or as the 12-year-old boy inside of me likes to say, the "Phart" Museum. We walked around for hours and then went out to the front of the museum and acted like TOTAL tourists and took Rocky'esque pictures on the infamous steps. Don't regret it at all! Sorry if the pictures are a little crooked and whatnot. There were security guards EVERYWHERE and I was afraid that they'd see my larger-than-life Nikon and confiscate it somehow. (It's happened before.) After a day full of walking around in Swedish clogs and looking at art, it feels good to sit on the sofa. I had one of those "you don't realize how tired you are and how much your feet hurt until you finally rest" moments. Whew. Hope all of you had as fun of a Sunday as I did!
Everybody is making these precious braids so when I saw my sister sporting them I stopped her in her tracks and asked her to do a tutorial for the blog. I think they're so cute and such a great look for summer. I'd wear my hair like this on a date night with a nice sundress, how would you wear them?
If you can make a regular french braid, you should be able to make this braid with no problems. As with most braids, this one works best with second or third-day hair. If you try it right after you wash/condition, the hair will be a little more difficult to manage because it'll be slipping out everywhere. The first thing that you're going to do is to take three small sections of hair in the front. You're going to braid these in a normal braid. Once you get to the temple, begin a french braid. While making your french braid, however, leave out the last section. Let it fall naturally and then pick up a new piece. Keep doing this until your waterfall braid reaches the desired length. To end it, just clip it back with a bobby pin. (Or whichever kind of clip you choose!) 
Today my little sister graduated 8th grade. We had so much fun taking some pictures, an activity which my brother was "too cool" to participate in. What's up with that? It was another crazy day in another crazy week so it as nice to finally sit down with my family for dinner for the first time in what seems like forever. (It was a good one too, We went to Bertucci's, MMM!) I can't wait until my life isn't packed away in storage and I can get back to life and blogging as usual. Between the move and CJ being up in Brooklyn and some other things going on, I feel like I'm in a constant fog. It's no fun at all. I just want my craft box and my juicer. Only two more weeks though! Two more crazy weeks...
Today was a day that I look back at and sigh. I was MIA from blogging today mostly because I realized how precious these next two weeks will be. I realized today that my friends won't be 5 minutes away anymore and was saddened for a second! My friend Jenna and and few of her friends (well, now mine too!) went on a shoot in Vincentown, a nearby rural area. Jenna showed off her sweet modeling skills and I demonstrated to the world why I mostly belong behind the camera instead of in front of it. I'm basically a giant ham. We had fun, we saw Moonrise Kingdom, we ate some (dairy free) yogurt. It was a lovely day. I know I'll miss these days in a few months but I'm glad that although it meant kind of neglecting my blog today, I got to spend time with my friends.
