It's my birthday! I am so thankful for this life.

I'm celebrating by posting some ridiculous photos of myself to my blog (see above) and visiting The Strip Club for dinner.

Don't forget about this guy! I'll be emailing the winner this morning.
The giveaway has closed, but all ads are still 75% off today with the code HAPPYBIRTHDAY.

Today I have a how-to/recipe for you, and it comes in the form of a video! My mom makes the best homemade mayonnaise (and Paleo ranch dressing, too...oh my goodness) from Well Fed, and now that I'm on my own again, I have to make it myself. I thought I'd show you how to do it, too! Mayo Party. Let's do it.

This batch wasn't as thick and creamy as it usually is, maybe because I used a mixer. Usually we make it in a blender, but for some reason, our blender is lost somewhere between Minnesota and Virginia. I love my mixer, but I'll probably continue to make mayo in the blender as soon as we get a new one.

Good luck! Happy cooking? I need a catch phrase or something.

PS I've started a YouTube channel where I hope to post more kitchen how-to video as well as some hair and maybe makeup tutorials. Any other ideas? You can subscribe here.

PPS That dress is c/o Jigsaw and can be found here!
