Easter

Happy Belated Easter Everyone! I hope everyone had a lovely holiday (if you do celebrate it). Mine was pretty cool. It wasn’t the traditional, let’s-get-dressed-up-and-paint-some-eggs; sort of Easter but I liked it nevertheless. Late afternoon we went to see an awesome movie (I cried at the end which is a rarity among rarities!) and later on got some Red Lobster Take out. As I said before, it wasn’t the typical traditional Easter but it was pretty great. Time spent with my family is time well spent to me. Overall, I enjoyed myself.





I spent part of my Easter and most of my Saturday doing Spring cleaning with my family and found quite a few things. One box in particular was filled with old childhood items such as my beloved first teapot set, one of my most prized Easter bunnies (I used to love the coat on it!), my recorder (I used to sing my heart out in that thing!), and so much more! It defiantly brought back some memories. I’m never going to get rid of this stuff!

What I wore:

Dickies checkered pants, white nine west heels, Hot and The Gang Deniem Vest, Icing gold hoop earrings as bracelets

Btw: Everything I'm wearing I got from the thrift store (there was a 50% off sale!!!) :)

Class

What I wore:

Mom’s peasant Chico’s maxi skirt, various bead bracelets, Claries peace ring, old white tee, dream catcher necklace (found at gas stop)


For my AP US History class we were discussing the Vietnam War and those that were either against or for it. Those that were against the war and wanted peace were doves, or better known as hippies. Those that wanted to continue with the war were hawks, a sophisticated bunch (honestly do not know how else to break this term down). For extra credit my teacher gave us the option to dress as either a dove or a hawk for extra credit. Of course I was all for the peace so I dressed as a hippie. Bellow are two of my friends dressing up as doves as well.




This is the beautiful fashionista Marla. I swear one day she’ll become a fashion designer; she’s got an eye for clothes and has a great personality.





This is the kind hearted, intelligent, and gorgeous Elizabeth. She’s an awesome person, a true frined, and a great baker.

Casual

What I wore:

Forever 21 v neck tank top, dark blue skinny jeans, mom’s ridiculously old brown boots (I’ve had my eye on them since I was three), It’s Our Time white sweater (a thrift find), silver Indian dream catcher earrings

Fairies Do Exist

The other day I saw a beautiful picture of a fairy and from that picture I was inspired to make myself look as I do in the pictures I’ve provided. As I’ve mentioned before I am a big kid, and as a result I am into fairy tales, and as I have also pointed out, I love to dress up. So you can only imagine how I felt once I saw the picture of the fairy and decided only moments later that I, Jasmine, would indeed have my moment to feel as such. I am aware that I do not have wings in this picture but in my opinion the look sort of gets the point across.





By the way, my face is supposed to be red in the top two pictures :).

April Fools and the Lost Breakfast

I’m well aware that this holiday has passed yet let me have my moment to say, “April Fools”!  I didn’t lose my breakfast! I just made green eggs and pancakes for fun. Well, in reality I wanted to make rainbow pancakes with green eggs and ham but fate wouldn’t allow it that morning… Okay okay, you got me, I woke up late so I only had enough time to make green pancakes and eggs, bite me. But it worked out didn’t it?

First off let me state that I am by no means a five star chef, but I’ll try to tell you how I made it. First, let me point out that you can use whatever brand you like and as much pancake batter and eggs as you want. I used enough batter for twelve pancakes and I used four eggs.

Once I added the appropriate ingredients for my pancake mix, *cough cough* water *cough*, I added some green food dye. At first I only dipped about three toothpick ends worth of dye into the batter simply because of how concentrate the dye is. Then I realized that I wasn’t getting enough so I dipped the end of my butter knife in there two times to add to the color of my batter ( make sure that each time you dip something in the dye that the object is clean). I still think I should have added more dye because the pancakes didn’t end up as green as I would have liked but it was my first time so I guess it was alright.




Once I made my pancakes I moved onto my eggs. After I cracked my four eggs into a small bowl I added some green dye into there as well. I realized the eggs took better to the dye than the pancakes did so I was pretty pleased with this. Yet, I will admit, I kept forgetting what I was really making because of the color.





About halfway into the frying process of my lovely green eggs I realized I had to add my seasoning. If you want to do this it doesn’t really matter what you use I guess. At the end of the day it’s only eggs so you’re usual routine should work. The brown spots in the eggs is the seasoning salt that I used (I love that stuff!).

Once I was finished I moved onward and graciously put my green eggs and pancakes onto their plates and voila, a masterpiece was born! The color green is usually a sign to not eat anything within the bread or meat family but the meal tasted really yummy despite the strange look.

Journey to the Past

Aaliyah, may she rest in peace, was a beautiful person and singer and I will always respect her for her voice and work. Even as a little girl I saw her as an inspiration and admired her. As I was going through some old music videos on youtube this morning I came across this video and felt a wave of emotion. I just wanted to share this anyone that may be interested.
