Price Waterhouse Cooper? Fayetteville’s Hometown Utility? How about the ole post-wedding chop? Yesterday, I done went and chopped most of my hair off. I had no real style in mind, so my stylist, Sara, thinned out the bottom and added some light layers. She then tried to convince me that I need highlights. Yeah, no. So before (from ze honeymoon). Side bar: I spent most of the honeymoon with my… View Post »
How to get married in Fayetteville, North Carolina
Well, at least Cumberland County. Getting married in Fayetteville is shamefully easy. My guess is the large number of Army weddings encouraged a more efficient system.

Curried chicken salad
If you love chicken salad, you need to try this curried chicken salad variation.
