Pea and Mint Soup p.132 of Jamie's Food Revolution
Two of each: carrots, onions, celery, and garlic cloves, chopped and cooked lightly in olive oil. Brought organic vegetable broth to a boil. Mixed together and added frozen peas and mint leaves, allowing to cook for 15 minutes. Puréed with a hand mixer. Really nice, healthy, easy to make, and refreshing soup. Tastes better as recommended with toasted foccacia!

Great Finds: SS Big Locks
My awesome hair stylist at WorldSalon uses hair clips like the SS Big Locks to section my hair. These hair clips are the best ever! Normally hair clips for sectioning while drying can't properly hold thick hair. The SS Big Locks however, flex around the hair to grip it in the clip to hold it in place. An essential tool for easy sectioning for blow-drying and styling long and mid-length hair. (Dannyco makes a similar product described as "Jaw Clips".)
