Today’s post is a little different than my usual “Stuff I’m Into” post because I’m focusing on beauty. I’m a girly-girl when it comes to make-up and beauty thing so I’m surprised that it’s taken me this long to share one. I love make-up, but I’m especially into my eye lashes. I want them as long and thick as possible (without resorting to fake lashes, which I’ve never tried). After years and years of trying stuff, I’ve finally found a routine that works for me. I’ve been following these steps for about six months now and I’m lovin’ my lashes. Vitamins. …

Greek Sweet Potato Fry Salad
“You don’t win friends with salad.” – Homer Simpson. Normally I might agree with Homer, but this salad has a better chance than most. I’ve been craving sweet potato fries for months and I’ve finally made them to satisfy that craving. These sweet potato fries are baked and I happen to think that they are better than some fried ones because they are not greasy. I don’t mind a “fried” fry every now and then but I’m not a fan of them if they’re greasy and limp. Blah… limp. These baked ones are nice and crispy and super simple (no fancy seasoning, just salt …
Whole Wheat Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
How do you use your ripe bananas that are about to go bad? I had some bananas to use and clearly I like to turn them into baked goodies. Hello, sweet junkie, at your service. When I bake with bananas I have one kind of important rule… I need to have all the ingredients on hand already. The timing on bananas is just too sensitive to go grocery shopping before I can make something. I need to use them the second I’ve made up mind it’s time. If I don’t use the bananas that exact second they’ll grow legs and …
Stuff I’m Into
Hi guys! What stuff are you into lately? Is there something that you’ve been obsessing over lately? Here’s the Stuff I’m Into: Turquoise Jewelry. Turquoise jewelry is classic and timeless and I especially love to wear it in the summer months. I’ve seen a few fashion bloggers on Instagram wear a variety of statement necklaces so when I found this turquoise necklace for only $38 I knew I had to have it. I usually like to wear light weight jewelry when it’s hot out but this piece is not as heavy as it looks. Totes. I pretty much own two types of …
Banana Doughnut Holes
Time to make the doughnuts. Does anyone remember that commercial? I know I’m dating myself but I always have to say that when I make doughnuts. Now when I say “doughnuts,” I use the term loosely. These are baked and not fried because I don’t own a fryer. There is a very good reason for that. (My waistline thanks me.) Every now and then my husband says that we should own one. He really wants to make “proper” fried yeast doughnuts. The problem is that we’d probably make them like every day. Plus the food blogger in me would probably want to try …
