Hey, It’s Megan!
I’m a 9-5er Art Director in Chicago who loves vacations, peanut butter and champagne. I am not a big fan of: waking up early, salad, voicemails, and slow walkers. Adventure is my calling, and I love to be entertained (broadway shows, concerts, movies, etc). I’ve made a goal to read 30 books this year (I am on #6/30). Follow along!

How to Get Volume with Thin, Fine Hair
I have the most thin, fine hair out there. I would even go on to say my hair might be finer than "baby-fine" hair. The double-whammy. Can't a girl get some volume??

Weight Watchers French Toast
I need hot breakfast in the morning. I've tried smoothies – and I can't do them.

It's 35 calories and 9 net carbs for [...]
