I’m a girlie girl when it comes to make-up. My husband can shower and get dressed during the time it takes me to apply everything (and sometimes… okay, all the time… he’s still waiting for me). However, on the weekends my beauty routine is not as high maintenance. It really boils down to cream, powder, blush, mascara, and lipstick. What else is left? For the sake of this post, you’ll just have to trust me that there’s more. Here’s my go to beauty products (in other words, the products that I cannot live without and have a backup ready for when I run …

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars
Last week was a total bust on the blog front. We had eight straight days of clouds and/or rain which made me feel lazy and unmotivated. I did manage to push myself to try one new recipe but it was a flop so obviously I was not going to share it with you. By the end of Wednesday I decided to write the week off. I was super productive over the weekend though. My husband and I went car shopping. (You know, test driving, sitting through salesman schpeals, etc.) I hate car shopping but it didn’t turn out as bad …
Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Where are all my peanut butter and chocolate lovers at? The other day I was flipping through my binder of recipes to look for some inspiration. I was never a fan of recipe cards so I used a binder instead. Do you remember the days before the internet was full of recipe pages and food blogs? Anyway, I came across this cookie recipe and I realized that it had been too long since I had last made them. So here I am making them for you. I definitely recommend buying more mini peanut butter cups than the recipe calls for. You …
Stuff I’m Into: 10 for $10
With Mother’s Day coming up I thought I’d do a roundup of some great low budget gift ideas. Each item is less than $10! You could also buy a bunch of them and place them in a decorative basket for your mom. 1. For anyone… Candles Candles are always a good idea. I’ve owed several scents from Bath and Body Works, including one of these mini candles. I’m a huge fan of their candles because they actually smell the same when you burn them as when you smell them in the store. 2. For the home decorator… Bud vases I own three …
Classic Rice Krispies Treats
Are you ready for a blast from the past? I’ve been wracking my brain to try to come up with a fun take on the original Rice Krispies treats recipe. (I blame the food blogger in me.) Nothing seemed to sound nearly as good as the originals. In fact, a few years ago I made triple chocolate Rice Krispies treats in an attempt to be creative with the cereal. They were tasty, but they were just not the same as the real deal. At the end of the day, I decided to put my creativity aside and go with making the recipe that …
