My First Birchbox!

My very first Birchbox arrived last night and I was so excited.  If you are a beauty product freak like me, you will love this company.  Every month they automatically charge you $10 and send you a box of 4-5 beauty samples from luxury brands.  It's a great way to find amazing new products.  Plus it comes in an adorable box!

Feierabend

We went to this new-ish German place downtown a couple weeks ago for my birthday dinner and I can't stop thinking about the delicious food (and giant steins of beer).  I'm obsessed with their red cabbage and I want to try and make it at home soon (I found this recipe).  It's not going to happen this weekend however...I'll be busy make fondue for my book exchange/fondue party tomorrow night and a turkey for Friendsgiving on Sunday. Whew!

Wiener Schnitzel vom Schwein mit RotKohl und Pommes Frites (Breaded & sauteed porkloin with red cabbage and french fries)
My parents had this ham hock thing....the potatoes look good

Holiday Inspiration

Okay I know it's a little early to get excited about Christmas, but I always decorate my place the day after Thanksgiving so I have to be ready.  I'm really leaning towards getting a pre-lit white Christmas tree in the day after Thanksgiving sales, but I have to get boyfriend on board first....

Waterfall Braid

My friend Katie is amazing at braiding and I'm super terrible at it.  She did my hair in this waterfall braid over the weekend and I'm in love with it!  Thanks Katie!  Here are some instructions on how you can do it too!  Happy Monday....is anyone as tired as I am? Uggghhhhh.
