Easy: White Chocolate, Raspberry Oatmeal

Howdy!
Have you ever wanted to "spice" up your oatmeal?
I know we like to make something bland, delicious! Therefor, give it a try!
I decided to play with stuff I had around my home, and came up with this delicious mixture!

Lets get started!
You will need:

-2.5 Cups of Oatmeal


-2 Cups of Milk.

-1 Cup of White Chocolate Chips

-1 Cup of Raspberries


******Any other fruit! May I suggest: Blueberries, Blackberries, Apples, Strawberries...etc.


Well, let me just say....I use the quick oats that cook in one minute, but you can use any kind that have or prefer. Now, you will add 2.5 Cups of oatmeal mixed with 2 cups of milk into a pan on low heat. You will keep the oatmeal and milk cooking for about 10 minutes or until it is nice and soft. Once the oatmeal is pretty much done, add in the chocolate chips. I say to add one cup, but you can use more or less if you want. Give it a good stir and let that cook for about another 2-3 minutes until the chocolate chips melt. I personally do not like to add the raspberries in the mixture when it is still hot, but that is just me. It just tastes weird for me! LOL but if you want...DO IT! Once that is done, serve it in a bowl and add the raspberries and mix it in there. I like to mix it until it the raspberries fall apart.....it just tastes sooooo good! When I made this recipe, I had blueberries on hand and decided to throw them in there. Try it out, it is soooo creamy and delicious!



And we will like to announce our new puppy! His name is Luke! 



Hope you give it a try and you like it!

Fun Spring Makeup Look!

I know it is now spring time, and it is quite fun to see all the bright colors coming back! I soooo missed that! Therefor I decided to make a really fun and bright makeup look! And I decided to try out one of NYX new colored mascaras! They had really fun colors like lavender, blue, lime green, pink, and the normal brown and black. Well, without further a due, here is the tutorial!!











 So, I started by priming my lids with the NYX Jumbo Eye pencil in Milk, and put that all over my lid and used my finger to spread it out. I then used the NYX wonder pencil under my brows, between my eyebrows and on top to just give it a nice highlight. I then used the Glam pallet (pictured down below) and used the bright pink on the corner of my eyes and blend it upward towards the corner of my eye. It is really pigmented shadow, but I kept playing with the shade to really just give me that super bright and vibrant color. As soon as that was the way I wanted it to be, I used a nice shimmery bronze shadow from the corner of my lids to 1/2 of my eye. As I was done with that, I got the NYX jumbo eye pencil in milk and re-applied the color underneath my brow bone. I then proceeded to curl my lashes and on my top lashes, I used the Kat Von D mascara and on the bottom I used the NYX colored mascara! I mean LOOK AT HOW FUN IT IS!!!! It is very well pigmented and very blue! haha but it is gorgeous! OH MAHHHHH GOD! It gives it an awesome color pay off and it really gives it a nice pop of color! GO GET IT! you will NOT regret it! After I was done with my eyes, I put my foundation on (pictured down below)  and added the TINNIEST amount of blush! (also pictured down below) and added this amazing MAC lip gloss! It really tied down the look! AHHHHH! It was a really fun look! and really different and unique, I reaaaaallllyyy hoped you liked it!









I hope you liked it and try to recreate it!

Kimono Outfit of the Day!

I am going to be honest, when I first saw the Kimono style...I was so confused on how to dress one... Until I found the cutest Kimono at Burlington, not only was it super cheap..but it was something that I could see myself wearing a lot in the spring and summer. I was quite nervous to go out like that because I have never worn anything like that before, but I got the courage and gave it a try and boy did I get a lot of compliments that day! I know there are a lot of fashion trends that are quite scary for someone who is not used to it, but give it a try! It is fun to try out new things!
Here is how I styled mine!

Shoes: Nordstrom Rack
Kimono: Burlington
Jeans: Target
Tank Top: Moms Closet..LOL sorry mom!
Flower Ring: James Avery
 
 











 Hope y'all liked it......try new things y'all!

Easy and tasty Vegetable fried rice!

Have you ever wondered how to make your own fried rice?!
Well, now you can make your own vegetable fried rice! The reason I make vegetable fried rice is because I do not like the smell or texture or of meat, but I will eat it if someone else makes it. Any who, here is a quick and easy fried rice! 
 
You will need to make the white rice before hand so....here is how I make my rice.
 
You will need: 
- 2 cups of White rice
-  4 ish cups or water
- 1 teaspoon of butter
- Medium sized pan

*****You will put the teaspoon of butter in the pan and let that melt, as soon as it melts you add in the water. Let the water sit there until it starts to boil, as soon as it starts to boil bring down the heat and to a medium high heat, and add the rice You will let that sit and cook for like 15-16 minutes. Make sure to keep checking the rice, to make sure it does not need any more water.
 
As soon as that is done, you will set it aside and start on the fried rice!!!!!! 
Now you will need:
-1 to 1.5 cups of Soy sauce
- 1.5 Cups of frozen Corn
-1.5 Cups of frozen pees with corn
-1 Tablespoon of garlic salt
- 2 heads of peeled and chopped Garlic
- 1 Teaspoon of pepper flakes
- 1/4 Cup of Siracha sauce
- About 4 Tablespoons of Olive Oil


 
 
You will put the olive oil in a pan and add the garlic. As soon as you see the garlic release it's magical juices,  you will add in the garlic salt, pepper flakes, frozen corn, pees and carrots. As soon as that is all satueed and soft, you will add in the soy sauce. And let that boil for like about 2-3 minutes. As soon as that is good, you will slowly start adding in the rice and mix it together.  You will notice, depending on your taste, if you want to add more soy sauce. I like to add more, and a little more siracha sauce. We like to have it a little spicy. It is sooooooooo good! As soon as that is all mixed together, and it taste how you like it....you are done!!! Isn't that easy?! I think so! down below you will see how I did mine! 







 
Hope you all liked it, and will try it! Until next time..
