Moroccan Morning

Mel has been working away to prepare for graduation this month, and Amy has been helping her every step of the way. What tasks have they been working so hard to finish? Coursework, final evaluations, independent study? Well, yes, but what has taken up most of their time each weekend for the past few months has been a different project for graduation- completely revamping Mel’s apartment from glorified dorm room to chic 20-something’s paradise! Finally, once all of their hard work was finished, it was only appropriate to christen the new place with a blog party!

GIRLs Night!

As our It Takes Two fans already know, for Amy and Mel, Valentine’s Day is not a Hallmark-holiday to dread, but rather a day we’ve deemed ‘Best Friends Day’ in which we celebrate having a tried and true Valentine who will always be there for us. So this year when pink and red started filling the aisles of our favorite stores, us single girls were right there along with the love birds, filling our carts with cards, gifts, and of course, chocolate. This all coincided with one new obsession, the HBO show GIRLS. We’ll admit we weren’t on the original GIRLS bandwagon… it wasn’t until we watched Lena Dunham win her Golden Globes that we were introduced to Hannah, Marnie, Jessa, and Shoshannah. We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than to spend the night with the characters who have us saying, “That totally happened to me!” Or rather, as Shosh would say, “That totes happened to me!”

Chanukah Party Success!

Our Chanukah party last year was such a success that as soon as Thanksgiving rolled around, Mel’s classmates were already coming up to ask if we’d be having another party this year. It wouldn’t be the easiest thing to do, as this year the holiday fell smack dab in the middle of finals, but how could we resist a request for more dreidel-spinning, Shalom Sesame-watching, menorah-lighting fun? It was our duty as the It Takes Two girls to spread Chanukah cheer, and by-chally, we were going to do it!

Fall Fete-tastic!

Ever since the summer, Amy wanted to have a party. Any kind of party. Finally, in the dull post-high-holiday, pre-Halloween weeks, it was the perfect time to finally invite over a smorgasbord of friends! As we sat planning our menu, which quickly became a list of pumpkin-infused recipes, we started to have flashbacks of our all-watermelon summer blog. To differentiate, we added flavors like rosemary, chai, eggplant, and caramel. Things were coming together, but it wasn’t until we took a trip to Party City that we entered ‘Fall Fete Heaven.’ We couldn’t reach for leaf garland and pumpkin baskets fast enough! A week before our party, the apartment was already transformed into an orange, red, brown, and gold wonderland!

Humorous High Holiday Treats

L’Shana Tovah to all of our wonderful It Takes Two readers! We hope everyone had a great summer! While of course our summers always feel too short, we were able to squeeze in lots of our favorite activities, such as the MUNY, trips home to visit our families, and both of our birthday celebrations! The It Takes Two girls are officially 23. What will the New Year bring for us?

Who are Mel and Amy?

Amy, your resident 22-year-old chef extraordinaire, attended a culinary high school (awesome, we know), and counts party planning and hosting as favorite activities. Mel is 21-years-old and attempting to learn Amy’s ways in the kitchen- and happy to share them with you! Currently a graduate student in deaf education at Wash U, Mel wrote a children’s book last year called “Sophie’s Tales,” which apparently gives her the credibility to write for all of you (we’ll let you decide). So, when Mel moved to St. Louis almost four years ago for school, Amy soon followed - and was thrilled to land a job at Build-a-Bear Workshop’s Bearquarters.
