Sunglasses Hoarder

by 2 Comments

I have a pretty sweet collection of sunglasses growing! I always seem to forget my shades when I go places where I really need them (i.e. the beach), so I generally pick up a cheap pair on the way to my destination. The other day my dad commented that I have a different pair on every time he sees me & then I turned around to see my boyfriend posing like this:


So I went a little crazy & taught myself how to make a .gif in PhotoShop so I could showcase the whole (well at least the ones I could find) collection.

Corn Tortilla Quesadillas

by Leave a Comment

Awesome looking meal numero dos from Women’s Health Mag received a slight modification to remove the lactose & ended up looking a little something like this:


I fed my friend Jessica with this as well. We each had 2 quesadillas and were surprisingly full. Easy, healthy & filling? Win.
Also, since I started my 32-day health kick, I have not had a single soda – diet or otherwise. I may have missed a couple days at the gym, but I’m also having some knee issues. I’m really keeping my fingers crossed that this knee thing will simply go away. Less than a month now until the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon. This guy needs a miracle.

Goodwill Shopping

by Leave a Comment

I scouted out Goodwill the other day in hopes of finding THE perfect Woodstock 2011 outfit to celebrate a good friend of mine’s 21st birthday. After trying on many pairs of white washed, button-at-the-rib-cage jeans, I finally found an old school Express pair I liked (They buttoned right at my belly button & only gave me a slight mom butt) so I went ahead and coughed up the $5 to buy them. After cutting them into jorts, I didn’t end up wearing them to midtown because I couldn’t find a worthy top, but I do plan on wearing them everywhere else.

Pro-Craft-ination

by Leave a Comment

The other night i was feeling artsy. I got my crafting supplies out & even brought a huge canvas out to the living room table. I didn’t like the way it was staring at me. I was too overwhelmed, so I got out the nail polish instead. This was the result.

I’ll get to the canvas eventually.

Mack’s Commercial Awards (MCAs)

by Leave a Comment

Ever since I moved back to my parents’ casa I’ve been watching tv. I didn’t realize how much I had missed cable over the past two years living in a cable-less apartment. I’ve been watching all kind of trash, movies &, of course, commercials. Most of them are extremely unpleasant, but one day I came across this gem & I fell in love. It’s a PacSun commericial (which is a store I happen to love anyway) but it is filled with feel-good, adventurous awesomeness set to Sinatra. What more could you ask for?



Here are a couple of other cute ones.



Austin turns 23

by 2 Comments



Today is Austin’s birthday! And since I’ve been on a cooking spree lately, I decided to take a stab at making him his favorite dessert: Banana Chocolate Pie.

Since he does not lack the enzyme necessary to digest dairy products like myself, I went all out (even though I knew I’d have to try it later). I’m talkin’ cream cheese, whipped cream, pudding, the whole shebang.











Happy Birthday, Austi!

Cashew Cheese

by 2 Comments

Since I’m a devoted cheese lover and also, very unfortunately, lactose intolerant, I am always looking for awesome substitutions for dairy products. Usually it fails. If you’ve ever tried dairy free cream cheese, you know what I mean; if you haven’t, don’t.

I got the idea to try out cashew cheese from my vegan boss because he made some sick lasagna with it. The recipe I tried was more tangy and salty than his was, but I dig it. Also, I think it tastes better the longer it sits in the fridge, so that’s a plus.

I found the recipe here, but I couldn’t find any yeast so I skipped it.

Wyatt The Exterminator

by 1 Comment

My nephew Wyatt turns 7 today! In honor of the big day we threw a “Billy The Exterminator” themed party at my parents’ house over the weekend. There were creatures and extermination weapons of all shapes & sizes. It was epic.



Britni, Wyatt’s other aunt, is responsible for this sweet sign.



I made this here wig & t-shirt out of yarn & random things found at Target.



The creativity award, however, goes to a great friend of the family named Brooke. She managed to make disgusting creatures like snakes, maggots & rats taste delicious.

Happy birthday, Wyatt!

32-day Health Kick

by 3 Comments

I’m challenging myself for the next 32 days – at least. I heard some rumor (probably when I was 10) that it takes 32 days to form a habit, so I am convinced that I am going to spend from now until the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon running, gym-ing, eating healthily and not drinking coke zero (or any other diet soda I’m addicted to for that matter).

Every. Day.
So far I have run 10 miles in the past two days and drank (drunk?) copious amounts of Gatorade/Sobe/tea in lieu of soda. Also, I hit up Publix and shamelessly bought all the ingredients a May issue of Women’s Health Mag told me to ($28 for five awesome-looking meals sounded too good to pass up). The first one I tried was the Chicken Lettuce Cups.



They were delicious. I was/am very excited because it was easy to make and really, really fun to eat. You know, I might not be so bad at this cooking thing!

More cooking experiments to come.
