Spot me
I’m all over the web lately, on some of my favourite blogs!
See this picture of me eating cake here over at Kate’s blog Eat the Damn Cake. Send over a picture of yourself eating cake and she’ll post it in her cake gallery. I really wanted to send in a picture of me eating my 25th birthday cake. Remember this beauty that my sister made for me?
The coconut birthday cake that was the best cake I’ve ever eaten in my life. And I’ve eaten A LOT of cake in my day, so that’s saying something.
Unfortunately (yet pleasurably) I devoured the whole thing before I remembered to take a picture for the cake gallery. When I woke up the morning after the beach party I jumped out of bed and into my gym clothes with the best intentions of an AM workout. When I opened the fridge to grab my water bottle, there was leftover cake staring me in the face. So I sat in the kitchen, in my gym clothes, eating birthday cake for breakfast. What a picture that would have made, eh?
Oh well, instead I sent in this beauty from my cousin’s first birthday:
Once you’ve thoroughly check out Kate’s blog, find me over a No More Dirty Looks sporting a No ‘Poo Do (I’m #59).
This was part of their No More Dirty Looks Summer Hair Challenge which involved sending in a picture of your natural hair with the following rules: shower, use only natural shampoo and conditioner (I used none), comb it, and let it dry.
The reason for the challenge, according to their website: We all wage war with our hair on a semiregular basis, and we want to see what happens when we switch to nontoxic, nonstripping products, and then leave our manes alone. We already did the challenge—those are our pics up top—and we want you all with us. One day! Please?
Finally, check out my recipe for Rosemary Sea Salt Bikini Bars on Meghan Telpner’s blog, Making Love in the Kitchen. I posted this recipe here on Bikini Birthday and now it’s making it’s way across the blog world
If you’re not an avid reader of Meghan’s blog, you should be. You probably recall Meghan from her guest post here in the Bikini Confidence series. I’m so happy to have had the opportunity to guest post at Making Love in the Kitchen!

Your natural hair is beautiful!
Any idea what they mean by “natural” shampoo???
Gorgeous cake eating photo!
That photo is beautiful. If it were me, I’d be stuffing my face
LOVE cake – carrot the most.
Your Mrs. Popular around all these blogs!
Thanks for your comment – I wasn’t sure if it was positive or negative about the borrowing kitchen pizza pan?…we’ve always done that where were from…different story if it were a sketchy building or weird people, etc…but it’s just a clean pan? Then I washed it, etc. and returned it that night…
Your hair is really pretty! I like curly hair
That’s such an interesting hair challenge. Yours looks amazing naturally! Do you happen to have any recommendations for a natural shampoo? I know that my hair gets very greasy if I don’t wash, so no ‘poo is a no go here :/
Rock that curly hair girl!
I really like your natural hair! And I am kind of in love with the cake from your cousin’s birthday too…
Wow, you’ve been all over Samantha! And I have to say, I think your natural hairstyle is beautiful. I’ve wanted naturally full hair like your for a long time!
I a huge fan of coconut, so that cake looks wonderful.
I like your hair. I like that mid-length look.
