Thank y’all so much for your sweet comments about my hair!
I really like it. I think I shocked my date pretty good last but he seemed to like it. Apparently I look older and more mature now 
Gosh, dinner was SO GOOD last night!!!!!! For months I’ve been sort of talking down about Dry Creek Kitchen because I heard it was overrated but dang, last night’s meal was fabulous and totally proved me wrong! Right when we sat down our server brought out a tiny cup of the most amazing coconut curry soup as an amuse-bouche….I could have eaten bowls of this!
I ordered the green salad to start with caramelized goat cheese on top. Holy wow….caramelized goat cheese……enough said.
And then had the gnocchi for dinner. Probably the best gnocchi I’ve ever had!
With my meal, I enjoyed a glass of Quivera Grenache. Went perfectly with my wee potato dumplins 
. We were both too full for dessert but the server brought out a little tray of sweets regardless and, obviously, I couldn’t say no!

This morning was a cold cereal morning:
And then I rushed to the studio to work the desk for a few hours. It’s gorgeous out again and I’m hoping to squeeze in a bike ride later on this afternoon!
Happy President’s Day!

Second day as a brunette! New hair, new life!
It’s amazing how a small physical change can impact how we are perceived by others. So fun to play with!

So exciting with the new hair, it looks great! Glad you had a nice dinner out and can’t wait to see who this prince charming is
nice yoga pose
yum blueberries! happy president’s day!
Your hair is really great! I LOVE IT!
Either you are a lesbian and your date is a girl (there is a girl behind your plate) or your date takes the photos of the food. haha! Just kidding Jenna!
Your hair looks great! You are beautiful any shade. Glad you had a great Valentines Day.
so cute jenna… i love your hair!! it’s fun to be able to change it up.
ZOMG!!! I luurrve caremalised goat cheese (it’s pretty much the only cheese I ever get being intolerant to cow’s milk).
Glad the date went well – will there be a second?
Dark = you hair. Mysterious = your date : )
D- I think it’s Adam too!
Can’t wait till “the date” comes out of hiding!
tiny portions of heaven.
Always makes me want more too!
Dinner looks amazing – and I love that little plate of sweets!
K
your hair looks awesome – and it looks like you had a great date last night! they food looks amazing!
Hey, Jenna!
You do look more mature now. And I don´t say it just because I´m brunette, hahaha.
Such yummy eats! Looks live you´ve had so much fun on V-day
Have a great Monday!
Brazilian XOXO´s,
Gabriela
Your hair looks great! The food looks great too. Just made my tummy rumble. Are those frozen blueberries from TJ’s? MMMMM
Love the dark hair! Took me a minute to recognize you; definitely chic! What did you think of ‘Lunch in Paris’? Good book to read or nothing special?
I’ve always wanted to go to a restaurant that served and amuse bouche. So chic. And so is the hair
Jenna, can I ask you what color you did or if you did a two step process? My daughter is going to do the same, especially after seeing how adorable you look. She also has darker eyebrows and think this would look good on her too..
Oooooooooh a date!! Fun!! Who is the boy!!?
Glad you shocked him, I think surprises are always fun. I can’t wait to see more pictures of the new ‘do! I love gnocchi, I am thinking of venturing out to make some. I received the “Simply Organic” cookbook for Christmas and they have a delicious looking recipe in there.
I love your hair! Power to the brunettes!!!
You look awesome as a brunette! I think brunettes do have more fun…but then I’m brunette so…yeah. I have a random question for you…how did you learn to ‘flip your dog.” I’ve been practicing yoga more seriously in the past year, but that one still throws me all out of whack!
hello, you look HOT with your new hair! really, you look so great brunette. =)
Love the new ‘do! Brunettes have way more fun.
And, might I add, you’re so brave to drastically change a color. I can remember battling it out with myself over whether I should add in highlights to my hair. I didn’t actually end up doing it because I was way too chicken at the time.
I think I’ll use you as my inspiration for the next time around. 
I love that you shocked your date! Your dinner looked awesome!
You still look good on day two!
Do you have any idea how they caramelized the goat cheese? Wouldn’t it melt if they’d put it in a frying-pan or in the oven? I would love to try it at home…
I love cold cereal – so refreshing. I also really like the dark hair – it makes your eyes POP. The Boy has dark hair and blue blue eyes and it’s a lovely and striking combination – I love it
ooo that sounds decadent! nothing as good as really yummy gnocchi!
That looks like a delicious meal. I love it when you get bonuses in fancy restaurants like an amuse bouche and those really cute sweets!
Jenna you are friggen adorable. I never comment but always read your blog! I loved that pic of you in the yoga pose:) You seem like such a sweetheart!
p.s. Love the hair!
LOVE the brown hair and you’re currently inspiring me to change my hair!
That dinner sounds amazing! I’m so jealous.
Sounds like a lovely Valentine’s Day

Your V-Day dinner looks amazing! My heart skipped a beat when I read the caramelized goat cheese bit.
I guess Adam too. You can see somethings there in previous pics.
CJ
Your hair is awesome, and you’re gonna do us all proud on your book jacket photo.
And oh my god, did you finally get a couch???
Cindi
It really does make you look older!!! And gosh your dinner sounds delicious as usual.. caramalized goat cheese.. how does one do that?!
What a nice dinner out! And will we be hearing more about this mysterious date?? haha glad you had a nice time
Ok, I’m going to be honest…i think the brunette hair really works on you but i LOVE your blonde locks!! lolol okay I said it haha.
You are definitely rockin’ the new look….It actually makes me want to dye mine! ha….So cute!!! Glad you had a good Vday!
Jenna, I think you’re beautiful no matter what your hair color is – but I’m so glad you’re enjoying the fresh change and I only wish you the bestest!!!
Glad you had a fantabulous Valentine’s Day!!!
Hugs,
Michele
LOVE THE HAIR BABE!!
I’m so glad I chopped my hair and went back to dark. I am LOVING it. And, you wear it so well! Saucy!!!
Love the dark hair!! Pretty sassy!! The Valentine’s dinner looks amazing. Don’t you love it when places we think aren’t going to be that great, surprise us?!
Your posts always make me want to eat! That looks soo good!
Sounds like a great date and yummy food. What more could one ask for??
your hair looks great!! Are you naturally a blonde or were you dying it blonde and went back to your natural color?
Hmmm…like someone mentioned – will you be a blonde or brunette for your book’s photo?!!! Eating out is always so exciting for me – I always want everything and can never decide – hence the beauty of appetizers, entree, bread basket, main meal and dessert
That restaurant had such beautiful presentation of all the food! Yumm! Question: Do you like bike riding as much as you’d hoped? Just curious because I know how much you loved running and your passion for yoga
Andrea,
I’m still getting used to it!!! Its just totally new and foreign to me right now…
It’s definitely 100% Adam.
Yummm that salad looks amazing! I’m glad you had a date
Is your new haircolor Aveda?
