It all started with my obsession with Battlestar Galactica.  I was apprehensive about the show at first, until I realized it was awesome and I would kiss it on the mouth if I could.  For further understanding, please watch this Portlandia skit and you will have a glimpse of what my month of December was like. Because Battlestar proved me to be wrong about what kind stories I like to watch, I approached Game Of Thrones with a more open mind and I am glad I did.

Yeah, yeah the story is sexy, confusing and violent, but more importantly, the fashion is freaking amazing! Let us please start with the hair. Oh, the hair!

And let’s follow that up with some of my favorite looks:

I just love me some Game of Thrones! Check it out Sundays on HBO.

The Beach

Our grandparents built a summer home in Huron, Ohio in the 1950s and it has been part of our family ever since. This home has been a place to spend the summers and share countless memories playing cards, drinking milkshakes, swimming, etc. There is really no place like it. From the sprawling farms to the ice cream shops, it is certainly a place to get away from it all. After a lovely yet busy Mother’s Day weekend, Albert and I decided to take a mini-trip to the beach.

We enjoyed some orange sherbet, took a 7 mile bike ride and made a home cooked meal. It was quiet, slow-paced and wholesome. It was exactly what we needed.

Every week we ask friends to send us a picture they took and tell us a little bit about the pictures. This week, however, our awesome friend Becky sent us a couple of her favorite pictures of late so we decided to dedicate this week’s post to her. Thanks, Beck!

My little brother, Danny, as he prepares for his first flight lesson!  He starts flight school this summer and once he obtains his private flight license, he will start school for air traffic control in the fall! So proud of him.
This is the oil pastel and watercolor kindergarten art collaboration at my elementary school.  It went up in the hall for the art show last week.
A few weeks ago, I had a relaxing afternoon hiking and sitting by the water at Strouds Run State Park in Athens, OH.
Got caught by this train right next to my back yard last Friday when I was almost home from my last day of student teaching.  I really love getting stopped by trains.
Took this shot as I drove into West Virginia from Ohio for a day trip this past Saturday.

Although this image might feel like too much to take in, I do think it is important to be aware of the chemicals in your beauty products.  After slowly transitioning to all natural products myself, I have found that I have fewer headaches, less skin irritation and an over all clearer mind.

If you are interested in looking up if your products are safe or not, plug them into the Skin Deep Database. You will find that some of your products are safer than others.

If you are in search of new products, check out some of my favorites here, here and here.

I have been thinking of the concept of home lately. Sure, home is where the heart is. Home is wherever I’m with you. Love begins at home. These are all such powerful sayings. It’s true, there IS no place like home. If you use the word home as an adverb, it means deep and to the heart. As I have just recently returned home during a time of transition, I can not stop thinking about all of the places and times that I have felt most at home.

I realized two things while making this post. The feeling of home is not really about the places themselves, yet about the experiences I shared with the people there. The second is that in all of the images above, I felt deeply and to the heart, like myself.

Well friends, it’s the end of a personal era for us over here at Sister Disco.  Farrell’s bags are packed and she’s ready to hit the road.

Neither of us can believe that it has been five years since she moved to NYC.  I’d already been here almost five years myself when she arrived, and I don’t think you’ll be shocked to know, we’ve had a blast.  For the sake of our own sentimentality, we thought we’d share a little photo retrospective on some of the times that have brought us to where we are today.
