Happy New Year

In honor of the new year, I wanted to write a quick post about what I'm most thankful for. And that is my wonderful family. They are truly my best friends and I could not love them more than I do.

They are the most amazing people and I'm beyond thankful for them.

HAPPY 2013! 

Christmas Treats

Last night I stayed up making Christmas treats to take to my co-workers, and painting my fingernails to look more festive. I made some chocolate-oreo truffles. They are super easy and really, really good. It's just a box of oreos (crushed), a box of cream cheese (softened), mixed together and rolled into balls. Then I dipped them in melting chocolate and rolled them in crushed candy canes. Some of them I just put different Christmas-looking sprinkles on, because I'm not a huge fan of candy canes.

 

 

 

 

Those are some pictures I took on my phone while I was getting the treats ready to take to work! Merry Christmas!

Make-up Obsessed... Again.

My obsession with make-up is apparent by now, I'm sure. My favorite thing to do is eye make up. I love eyeshadows and mascaras. Eyelashes are my favorite thing in the world.. haha. I decided to post some of my favorite make-up brands for different items that I've used.

MASH make-up brushes. These are a steal- like $25 on Amazon!

 

bareMinerals foundation, easily my favorite I've used.

Crown Brush eye shadow palete. SO pretty.

Tarte 'Amazonian Clay' Mascara.

My collection of make-up.

 

 

Clearly, I have an excessive amount of make-up in my collection. But it's because I always look for sales! Then when I can find it on sale for super cheap, I buy as  much as I can.. haha... I have a problem. Anyway, I just thought I would share some of my favorite make-up for anyone who might be looking to try something new- the stuff listed above is great!

2 Best Things in Life

I'm sure we all know that the two best things in life are Peanut Butter and Chocolate. So with that being said, one of my friends gave me a delicious and suuuuuper easy recipe for peanut butter-chocolate cookies. They literally take 5 minutes to prepare and they are divine.
The recipe is:
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
As soon as they come out of the oven you put a chocolate kiss (or any kind of candy you want, really) on top, and ENJOY!

In this case, I used plain Hershey's chocolate candy bars. And it turned out really well. My next project will be to re-create this recipe using nutella in place of peanut butter... so we'll see how that turns out.

 

 

These pictures obviously aren't the best quality (they were taken on my phone) but these cookies are delicious!
