Coconut Almond Smoothie

May 16th, 2016Tina0 Comments

Hello Monday and hello new smoothie recipe. By show of virtual hands, are you a smoothie person? I could drink a smoothie every day and be a happy camper. (I could also eat a bagel every day and be in heaven, but I digress.) My husband is not a fan of smoothies. No biggie. Thankfully it’s super easy to whip up a smoothie for one. I tend to make the same smoothie flavor for a few weeks and then I move on to another one which becomes my new favorite. Lately I’ve been into dairy free smoothies so I came …

Stuff I’m Into: Go To Beauty Products

May 11th, 2016Tina0 Comments

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

May 9th, 2016Tina0 Comments

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

April 29th, 2016Tina0 Comments

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

April 27th, 2016Tina0 Comments

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 …
