Playing around in the kitchen

Yesterday, after looking in the freezer and not being able to decide between chicken or beef I thought, hey why not shrimp?  So, i decided to try my hand at  making shrimp fried rice and Yum Yum sauce ( I cannot eat shrimp fried rice without it) Surprisingly, everything was easy to make. The only thing that gave me a little trouble was the Yum Yum sauce because after making it you can't eat it right away; It needs to be refrigerated overnight, or else it tastes kinda funny. And when i say funny i mean as in have you ever wondered what shit tastes like funny so trust me when i tell you this.  Refrigerate the Yum Yum sauce overnight before you serve it so that the flavors have a chance to blend.

 
 





Today, some of the stuff I'd previously ordered online came in the mail today!! It felt like Christmas all over again because I love, love, love getting things in the mail. Here is a pic of the sweater i ordered online from Forever 21. So far, I'm loving it. It's comfortable and super soft. Can't wait to wear it!


Then, it was off to the store to find things for the Polar Bear :) to hang up because right now i don't have anything on the walls in my apartment. I found this cute 4 piece framed wall art set, but i'm not too sure about it. What do you think?   Oh and below is also a pic of what i wore to the store. My new crossbody bag i got on Christmas and taupe colored boots that i bought online. The boots were actually an accident. I thought they were brown when i ordered them, but when they arrived i saw they were actually Taupe, which is not what i wanted. I was going to return them, but the closest place to return them is 60 miles away so guess who has a new favorite pair of Taupe colored boots?

The Unthinkable





I did the unthinkable today. I went to the store without makeup on!! I know you're thinking, why is that unthinkable. Well it's unthinkable because makeup is what makes us girls LOVELY and without it we look like ZOMBIES. Ok so maybe i'm exaggerating a bit, but it does make a world of difference when you're suffering from acne scars and pimples. Right, girls? So with all that being said and after having thoughts of "please don't look directly in my face" while at the store, i successfully made it through  my first makeup less trip to the store. Yay me!!

Happy Holidays

My Christmas was pretty awesome. I spent quality time with my family and got exactly what I'd wanted for Christmas: a new cross body purse!! I already have a Coach one, but I've kinda outgrown it. I'm a big bag type of girl so i always want to to stuff everything in my purse no matter what size it is, which of course does not  always work when you have a crossbody. That's where a BIGGER cross body bag comes in. The pic below is the actual purse i have. I  must say I love it and another plus is that it matches the cowgirl boots my sister bought me for Christmas, which are also shown below.





 


Last, but not least here are the cupcakes we had for Christmas dessert. I did not make these, which surprises everyone because I love to bake/cook. However, I was a lazy bum and didn't feel like baking so i instead ordered two dozen from a coworker who owns a local restaurant. One dozen were red velvet and the other dozen was caramel.

Tis the Season


Tis the Season for  baking...


Well tomorrow is Christmas Eve so I decided to get a start on making my cheesecakes, which is a tradition in my family. Growing up, my mom would always make me and my siblings our very own cheesecake and since then i always have to have one on Christmas.  Below are a couple of pics of my first attempt at making a couple myself. I made one cherry and one strawberry.













Since we're talking about Christmas, I figured i would also share something on my wish list. Chocolates from France!! These look so yummy and I would love to try them, however they are only shipped in France. Plus, they cost 25 euros, which is equivalent to 32 U.S. dollars so I'll have to wait until i'm in France to try these.



Now on to my recent purchases from my now favorite store Forever 21.. of course after New York and Company: a cardigan, two coats and a pleated skirt.
