The Magician at the NoMad

Recently, I heard a lot of chatter about the Magician at the NoMad hotel and how amazing the performance was. So, since I am on a big kick of entertainment-is-better-than-dinners-out, we went with some friends on Friday night. To say HOLY SMOKES is an understatement. It was absolutely incredible and a must see. HOLY SMOKES! Amazing, ridiculous, smart, and oh so magical. It was unclear what to expect, but I knew that the Magician, Dan White, is widely respected, and therefore, I was hopeful for a good show. And indeed, it was a good show. And has left me thinking about it since the performance. Regardless of how Dan makes the magic happen, he is a genius and oh so smart.

 

Not only brilliant, but also funny, charismatic and compelling. A+ performer. Would go again in a heartbeat.

Girl’s Hairbows

Starting with my childhood, I have never paid much attention to my hair. First, I had a boy’s bowl cut, then a perm (and a mullet), and since high school have had long hair that I always tie in a tight chignon. I am incredibly unoriginal with my hair and have never dressed it up for different occasions. I am a simple bun girl. So it may shock people, including myself, that I am totally and utterly obsessed with different hairbows and bands for my daughter, Zoe. I have no idea why, but I can’t stop buying them and dressing her up.  Every day is a different hairbow, hairband, and look. It is incredibly fun and I think she looks unbelievably cute!

Here are my favorite hairbands/bows:
