Dinner in

Let's have dinner at home!
Made a pretty quick dinner with my boyfriend because we were sooo hungry!
We made some clam chowder in a sour dough bread bowl (oh yeah) and some bombdiggy tortillas!

First, we made the clam chowder in a sour dough bowl <3
What you would need: - round sour dough bread
(if you can't find any round sour dough bowl then using the sliced one's are fine. Dip and enjoy =D )
                                     - clam chowder
                                     - A fork to get all the bread out of the bowl
First, we cut the top of the round sour dough bowl in circle and used a fork to get all the bread so we can fill it in with clam chowder.
Then we made clam chowder. And we are done. How easy was that?! (Tip: Making clam chowder from scratch is way better than can one's!)






TIME FOR THE TORTILLAS!!
What you would need: -tortillas
                                     - cooked shrimps
                                     - cheese


First, we got a tortilla and we put it on the pan. Then got some cheese and shrimps. Spread evenly.
Cook for about 2 min per side. Put another tortilla and you are done :)





Finished the night with some Green Tea ice-cream!

Wise Words.

Came across these stones today and thought I should share some of these simple but strong meaning words.




My Father's day fruit gift idea

Did everyone take a spot to make a dish on Father's day and there's just no more room for another main dish? Then why not go make some dessert? Something you know everyone will enjoy. Something like a fruit basket! To spike it up a bit, you can cut the fruits in all sorts of shapes. Stars, hearts, circles, flowers, etc. I prefer to get some cutters or the kit I bought to make this basket. Get your fruit cutter here! If you found other cutters then great! Use them! It's very affordable and easy to make.

I started out washing all the fruits that I wanted to make. MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT ALLERGIC TO ANY OF THE FRUITS YOU ARE PLANING TO MAKE! 

Any watermelon!
Make sure you cut your watermelon in a way so you can cut them in shapes. (NOTE: Make sure the water melon is not too ripe or else it would be harder to cut.)
 Start cutting your desire shapes! HAVE FUN!
Have a lot of left over watermelon scraps? Why not make some watermelon juice? Pop the left over watermelon to make some delicious drink that everyone would enjoy.
Finally, start getting some sticks (prefer longer sticks) and start putting the fruits together. With the left over fruits you can put it on the bottom.
YAY! You are done! Hope you have a wonderful Father's day :)

Tortilla with chicken, shrimp, and cheese! YUM!

Want something easy, fast and yummy? A tortilla with some shrimps, chicken, and cheese will do the trick! Put the tortilla on the pan and at the same time put the cheese so it is melted. After that, put the cooked chicken and shrimp so that it can stick onto the cheese. Put another layer of cheese and another tortilla to finish it off. Cheese is optional, it is just to stick to the other tortilla. BAM! A yummy snack!


Maybelline - Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Shadow in Bad to the Bronze




Okay, so I'm pretty sure that you have heard of the 24 hour color tattoo from Maybelline. I must say I am quite impressed! I got the color "Bad to the Bronze" and I just totally think it's the bomb! It has a creamy texture and it's so easy to put on.
The staying power is great! It stayed on my eyelids for 14 hours, but that's with an eyeshadow primer on. I did notice it did crease within 12 hours, but not a lot. Without a eyeshadow primer, the eyeshadow lasted 6 hours for me. (NOTE: I HAVE VERY OILY EYELIDS) If you're a person who don't usually put on primer then I'm pretty sure you'll love this.

I also tested this in water and soap and it still did not come off. That's awesome in my opinion. I guess you can wear this while swimming and still look glamorous. WOOHOOO!

In my opinion, this is a dupe for the "Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Shadow Pencil in juju"
I always love that color, but unfortunately they have discontinued it. Once I got my hands on the Maybelline in "Bad to the Bronze" I totally fell in love with it. Good job Maybelline!

 ~You can find this in your local drug stores :) HAVE A HAPPY DAY! YAY!

"Secret Outlast Clear Gel" (Deodorant)



If you're a person who sweats a lot on your pits then give the "Secret Outlast Clear Gel deodorant" a try. This products claims that it will reduce underarm wetness. From my experience, the wetness never went away, but the odor and white marks were gone. Adios foe! Since this is a gel texture I feel like it doesn't dry on my underarm like how the solid texture would. Some people just don't like the wet feeling on their underarms. I'm not saying it's REALLY wet like dripping wet, but its moist. I actually really think it's okay if my underarms are moist, just as long as it doesn't leave white marks and it still smells fresh. Odor lasted pretty good. I played basketball for four hours straight and my underarm still smelled fresh! I honestly didn't try this for 48 hours because I don't like wearing deodorant and not taking a shower on the day I applied. Overall, this product is great!

Ever had a hard time trying to apply deodorant so the white marks won't get on your clothes? Here is a video starting Bravo star, Jenni Pulos in ‘Deo Dance,’

Shea Moisture Yucca & Baobab Anti Breakage Hair Masque for thin, fine hair


Brittle and damaged hair? I was coloring my hair so much that I forgot to take care of it. Shame on me!! I recently came across this masque at Target and I thought why not give this one a try? It was on sale and I had nothing to lose. The "Shea Moisture Anti-Breakage Hair Masque" claims that it penetrates to moisturize and repair over-processed, dry, brittle or damaged hair. It thickens, volumizes & softens. After I bought this, I went home and I left this on my hair for about 30 minutes. After rinsing and blow drying my hair, my hair felt felt soooo smooth. I never thought something I never heard of would be that surprising good. This needs to be famous :) I did read some reviews and it seem like you will either love it for hate it. There's no in between. I have thick brittle, and damaged straight hair and it works perfectly for me. It did say it was for thin, fine hair but I wanted to see what will happen if I used it. Overall, I love it and it works great for my hair. Do keep in mind that it seem like this product doesn't work for everybody, so keep your receipts!!
This is available at Target, CVS, Walgreens, and Harmondiscount.com.

"Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure" (In Just Say Yes)


Hello! I am not a big fan on fake nails, but I would give it a try. As a matter of fact, this is my first time trying them. How exciting! First of all, I like how they give me many nail sizes to choose from because obviously everybody has different nail sizes. Even though I couldn't get the perfect match for my nail size, I was pretty impress that they gave me more than 10 nails to choose from. Unlike other nail brands, they give you exactly 10 nail set and they expect you to fit it. I also like how this is not messy at all! No glue! Just peel the tape or the transparent lining and you're good to go. This is best for days where you want to look nice but you forgot to do your nails the night before. The only thing I want to look forward in this product is giving us more sizes to choose from. Other than that, I am very impressed :)
Want to check them out? Here is a link (http://impressmanicure.com/)
Seen at: $5.99 for colors $7.99 for patterns at CVS, CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Reade, KMart, Walgreens, Walmart, and more!
(I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster)

The kit comes with 6 different shapes: circle, heart, flower,butterfly, sun, and star. If you have a kid who don't like eating fruits then this is a great way to change it up a bit. You can also ask them if they want to help you make these little cute mouth watering fruits. Having some guest over? Pop these right in your living room and share the love!

L'Oreal Colour Riche® Nail in "The Palace Life" (115)

Happy lazy Sunday! I was pretty surprised that the L'Oreal's nail polish line actually caught my eye. After working with some of the nail polish, I been liking it a lot so far. I am a very picky girl when it comes to nail polish. There's not a time where my nail polish will stay on for more than two days...and it pisses me off! This my friend, is the nail polish for me. The picture shown above is a picture that was taken after five days that I have worn this polish.  When I was applying this nail polish, it came out pretty sheer for the first layer. After a second layer it was the perfect pink. This is a very pretty pastel pink, no shimmer or anything. This product claims that it has luxurious shine, intense color, and a 10 day wear. OH YES IT DOES! Other then having the nail polish on for 10 days, five days is actually a really good amount of time for me already :) I have to say I am very proud of L'Oreal for making this line!
