Days Like This

I love occasions that call for dressing up. I spent my Valentine's day in this dress my mother had purchased for me from Francesca's Collection. I had spent the day gliding through halls without a care in the world.

Of course I was a bit overdress. I, however, hardly took that into account. Some outfits are meant to be worn all day. If it looks and feels good I don't see why an individual can't do so.

It's always better to be overdressed than underdressed in my opinion. Fashion is meant for expressing one's self and having fun!

I loved this outfit so much that I admittedly wore this dress twice this month (both pictures uploaded here) with the only difference in nail color and a few added rings. 

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!!!) :)

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.
