More Than Just A Hairstylist
Everyone knows that when you find your forever stylist it's about so much more than just hair. We're a little bit like friends, but not quite. We're a little bit like therapists, but not quite. We have the ability to listen, commiserate, and help you look like the best version of yourself.

Recipe: Vegan Flourless Chocolate Cake
Years ago, before I knew what I was actually allergic/sensitive to, I had to go on a pretty extreme elimination diet. No eggs, no dairy, no gluten to name a few. Which made birthday cakes near impossible! I tried every vegan and gluten free cake I could find, from store bought to recipes, and this is what I came up with. It's moist, rich, and oh-so-chocolatey! The best part is, it's also customizeable based on your dietary preferences. This is how I make it!

Recipe: Mashed Chickpea Sandwich
I love egg salad. Like LOVE. Unfortunately, eggs don't like me so much. I found out a few years ago that I have a mild allergy to eggs, and since then I've kept them at a minimum. Which means, no egg salad. I've experimented with so many "substitutes," but this mashed chickpea sandwich tastes like the real deal. It's SO good and even more nutritious than the egg salad (win-win!).

Recipe: Avocado Chicken Salad
With warmer weather right around the corner, I always tend to crave salads. This one came about one day when I just threw together some ingredients I had in the house. Since then, it's become a staple in my warm weather meals! Even my avocado-hating husband enjoys it!

Recipe: White Bean Chili
This is one of my favorite meals. It's nutritious, filling, and so tasty! The best part though is that it's quick and easy to make! Just throw it all in the crock pot and go about your day. You'll come home to the most delicious smelling kitchen, your belly won't be able to help but rumble.
