Watching the world awaken

Hello Lovelies~

 In the past month I have started my new job and been working crazy hours, but it all worth it. It's not even about the money, which is wonderful. Not going to lie. But! This is why I love working graveyard shift.....

The clouds in the morning a SO beautiful. Everyday I work I get to see the sun rise over the river and....it is so inspirational.

As a bonus, I have added a few extra pictures of me and the boat I work on ^_^

Thanks for reading!

'Snap' to it! (Picture Heavy)

Hello Lovelies~

 I was looking through my computer the other day and realized I had tons of photos I have taken, but never actually blogged about. As I was wondering what to do with them all, other than keep them and leave them on my computer because that is a given ^_~, I thought to myself, 'Why not just do a large photo post?'.

So...I am ^_^

 Some are outfit shots, some are outings with friends, and some are random! So let's get to it!!

Dinner out wit my mom!  Isn't she adorable?

And Me! I did my hair up in a giant side bun that night. I should do that style more often.

I have a hard time finding good Chinese food in my area, but I recently found 'The Panda House', which has been there forever, and it was SO good! I even got a cute little carrot and radish flower with my meal. I love food art.

And this was my hair and makeup for the day I found that wonderful restaurant.

Strawberries are big this season. I am really enjoying all of the desert offerings.

 Here we have a Strawberry infused cream puff with real strawberries.

And here we have a strawberries and cream topped pound cake. The cake was dense and soaked up the juice from the strawberries perfectly.

I decided to go a bit casual and got to wear my hair in pigtails! I love pigtails.

This is my friend Alyssa. She is so tiny!!! I sold her my Meta Happy Cake skirt and I loved it, but it only had a 20" waist, so I let it go to a better home.

We all went out to a pizza parlor and we asked for a special made dessert. So this is what we got and it was HUGE!

So big in fact, my mom decided she wanted to Om Nom Nom it, lol.

The other day I came home and found a package on my front steps!

It came with two full sheets of stickers. One from Lisa Frank and the other is Hello Kitty.

The main this was this Beautiful Baby, the Stars Shine Bright dress. It is pink and blue tartan, released in 2006. I am the second owner, but you know I'm not one to mind.

Here is it worn with a light petti. It has room for three without looking silly, I swear it!

Look! New Camera!!!I can't wait to Deco it.

My mom just got her Master's Degree!!!! Isn't she beautiful!!! I am so proud of her.

Here she is before the ceremony.

Us at the ceremony.

And later at the party....

My friend Alyssa in her new to her Meta Skirt.

My friend Den.

Alyssa and me! Strangely enough....this is our only picture together o.o

My friend Cj.

Cj, my mom, and a friend of mine Jon.

Me in my pajamas later in the evening. The Pajamas are from Betsy Johnson before she was such a huge name in fashion.

A small treat from a great friend! It's a tiny eraser in the shape of a Japanese doll.

Thanks for looking though my pictures!!! As a special bonus.....look! My roses are in bloom ^_^

A Sweet Savory Snack and the Recipe

Hello Lovelies~

 When the clock strikes midnight, do you ever suddenly get a craving for something? I know I do. I usually crave something sweet, but last night I saw a can of tomato soup and I knew I had to have it. And what goes better with tomato soup that a grilled cheese sandwich!

 Only....I have no bread right now, so I got creative! What you'll need for this snack is as followes...

* 2 flower tortillas
* 1 wedge of soft cheese
* A few slices of harder cheese
* Butter

Where we go!

I am using soft cheese from 'The Laughing Cow'. Mozzarella, Sun Dried Tomato, and Basil flavor.

Use one wedge and spread it out on the first tortilla.

Then use a slightly harder cheese and slice thin strips until you are happy with the amount.

 You can use shredded cheese as well, but it might melt faster than slices from a cheese block, so keep that in mind when trying this out yourself.

Place the second tortilla on top and spread butter over it. Then carefully flip it over and place the whole quesadilla butter side down and spread butter over the top. Not to much, just enough to toast either side.

Wait until heated through, then enjoy! The soft cheese will melt faster, which will then blend with the melted cheddar, or colby jack, or what ever other cheese you wish to use.

When paired with tomato soup, this quesadilla has a gentle, sweet, and mild taste!

 Happy Snacking!

Day wear Tutorial - Pink and Neutral

Hello Lovelies~

 How many of us put on make up everyday?....well, some do, some don't, but I am one of the few that do. I don't like to go wild with the colors, because I have never been one to put on to much, I wanted to share my everyday routine with all of you. ^_^

It's a simple Day wear look. I hope it inspires you. It's rather simple, but makeup doesn't have to be complicated.

I hope you liked it ^_^

Yeah. That's right. Adam Baldwin!!!

 Ok.....geek moment over...ish. ^_~

I wore my new Baby, The Stars Shine Bright Headbow and it added a new twist to an old outfit. I enjoy getting accessories. They are a cheaper way to own the brands you want, but stay within your budget.

My make up for the day.

Autographed picture!!!!

This is Craig. He is a sweet guy I made friends with while in line for Adam's autograph. I love making new friends!

 I didn't get a picture with the group I actually went with, but I did get a new camera!!! I'll have pictures of it up soon.

So that was my weekend!!!!
 
 How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun?
