BANANAS UNITE! 🍌 Make banana sushi with Benjami BANANAS UNITE! 🍌 Make banana sushi with Benjamin and me. This was so much fun! I saw it on Pinterest and knew we had to try it! 

To make banana sushi you just coat a banana in melted chocolate or peanut butter and roll it in sprinkles, mini candies, coconut, Rice Krispies, crushed granola bars or whatever else you can think of! Then you slice it up like sushi pieces and enjoy with your littles. 

We had a blast making a big mess!

Ask Hel Q & A + Instagram Round-Up

Happy Hump Day! It’s that time again..time for the monthly “Ask Hel Q & A.” You can check previous posts here, here and here. It’s really basic, I answer some questions that I’ve been asked over the past month and share where I bought the things on my Instagram. Simple! Let’s get started.

 

A post shared by Helen || Hel On Heels (@helonheelsblog) on Mar 11, 2018 at 1:01pm PDT

Vest | NecklaceΒ | White Tank | Jeans

1. Where do you get your nails done and what kind of manicure do you get?

-I go to Les Mains in Buckhead Nail Bar in Buckhead (Atlanta). It’s fabulous! If you are in Atlanta, you must go. I get SNS with tips. Here’s a fun fact about me, I bite my nails so I have tips to keep my nails pretty. Also, SNS is MUCH better for your nails. This question was in response to my posting my manicure on Instagram stories. I got the color “Taupeless Beach” and it’s my favorite nail color ever!

Similar Jumpsuit | Similar Jumpsuit | Similar Jumpsuit | PurseΒ | Earrings

2. Where did you get that mini-fridge?Β 

-LOL! I put a new teeny mini-fridge on my desk and it’s pink! I shared it on my stories. It’s so cute, holds 6 Diet Cokes and can plug into USB, wall, or car charger. Click hereΒ to see where I bought it.

A post shared by Helen || Hel On Heels (@helonheelsblog) on Mar 27, 2018 at 12:04pm PDT

Top | Plus Size Top

3. Did you use a kit to change your name?

-I did! I used a company called HitchSwitch. It was SO easy. The kit included all the forms I needed, where to go with each form, what items of identification I needed at each place, everything! It was the perfect kit to walk me through that VERY complicated process. I would absolutely recommend HitchSwitch. 150%. Not sponsored, just a bomb.com service.

Earrings | Vest | Shoes | Purse

4. Can I ask how old you are?

-Of course! Any question is free reign. I had a birthday last week (obviously since it was all over my insta!) and I turned 27. I’m officially considered “late twenties” womp. LOL!

A post shared by Helen || Hel On Heels (@helonheelsblog) on Mar 16, 2018 at 11:05am PDT

Luggage | Dress

5. What’s your favorite workout?Β 

-Right now I am LOVING some Fitness Marshall videos. This one is my favorite right now! The “party train” move is so fun. I take my computer down to my home gymΒ and dance it out big time!Β  I do like 10ish videos in a row and get in a good cardio workout. Plus it’s FUN! Way better than running.

    I love that jumpsuit! I’m always nervous to wear them because sometimes I worry they don’t flatter my body shape, but this looks super cute on you! That black dress is also gorgeous as well! You have great taste in style <3

    • Helen @ Hel On Heels says

      March 30, 2018 at 12:00 pm

      Thanks Ro! I am very curvy, and I am LOVING the wide-leg jumpsuit trend. It’s been a game-changer for me because I am defs not a size 0.

      March 30, 2018 at 11:56 am

      Thank you so much Tabitha! Hubbs and I are headed to Orlando for a few days at the end of April! I’ll be writing about fun things to do at Disney for couples. I’m super excited because I love Disney and it’s been awhile since I’ve been. πŸ™‚

    • Helen @ Hel On Heels says

      March 30, 2018 at 11:53 am

      Oh girl it was a GAME CHANGER! That name changing process is no joke. I’m still my maiden name on like three things because I just don’t want to deal with it and we’ve been married a year and a half. Whoops!
