Random everything: Catching up

So I've been mia for awhile. I recently joined a fitness center on Valentine's Day and I've been working it out ever since. I'll be sure to blog about my weight loss journey soon.  Because of that my hair and beauty routine has been suffering a bit, but it's all good.

Here are some pics of my daughter's nails. I gave her the tiny Sally Hansen polishes, so here are the teal and purple colors:



Here is a small haul from Victoria's Nail supply and 8ty8beauty:
Starboard, Sea spray, Belize it or not, Greece Blue me away, and He's my coral Friend

Nirvan and Unicorn
Crackle, Back to the beach peach, Crackle(blue), Apricota Cheatin, Wisteria and Morning Glory, and of course duri

I also tried black crackle polish over sea spray and starboard. I love crackle!

Small Haul-Literally :-)

,Here are a few items I bought from Sally Beauty Supply. I see these shadows and polishes every time I go in and always overlook them.

Sally girl Baked Eyeshadow

Sally girl polishes with Bubble White
All these items were 99 cents each, and they are usually on the racks at the register. I can't wait to try the Bubble White, after watching a few videos on youtube, it's a fizzy type powder you pour in water, soak your nails for 5 minutes and it will turn your nails super white. :-D

I can't wait to do some shadow looks, and try out the other items, I will be sure to update.

Toodles! :)

Quick meal: Salmon in a can

No don't eat it out of the can...lol (Unless you want too... j/k)

So I love buying salmon in the can, or the bag of salmon from the grocery store. It makes a real quick satisfying meal.

I use any brand salmon in the can and remove the bone, I shred with a fork in a lightly oiled pan and season well. My favorite seasonings are paprika, garlic, onion, black pepper, Tony Chachere's and a few others. I let it cook till browned really well.

If I'm using the whole salmon, I will bake in foil with seasonings.

I usually have over salad with flax seeds, shredded cheese, and as you see in this picture: crispy fried onions. My favorite salad dressing is Marie Calendars or Bolthouse Farms Blue cheese vinagrettes.

In this picture I had it over brown rice:
Salmon cakes are really good too and easy to make, however, I haven't made it in awhile. These are really quick meals, and are usually finished in less than 15 minutes. This is my favorite fish and comes in handy during the times I'm avoiding meat.

Tastebud Edition: Yummy! *Licks lips*

Drool.... lol

I just wanted to share some delicious desserts I had over the weekend. Yes, I wish I could say over the past month, but no, over the weekend.

First up we have CamiCakes, apparently very popular here in Atlanta, but I never heard of them before. Maybe that's a good thing, because I would probably visit more than I need too. It was super packed, and they have a menu of delicious cupcakes to choose from. There was one more in the picture, but my daughter attacked it so fast, it disappeared. lol


 The cake itself was super tasty and soft, but not light. I cut it in half and I was full, had to save some for later.  In the picture you see a chocolate, lemon drop, and a strawberry cheescake I believe. The frosting was delish, not too sweet and very thick. Reminded me of a cheesecake consistency and taste.

Here we have a scrumptious cake that my local supermarket Publix sells, It's an all chocolate cake with chocolate everything! lol Chocolate barks, shavings, and chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate frosting, so you get the point. lol

It does have walnut shavings, but apart from that, this cake is so good.
I'm shamed to say that we had two other cakes that week because my daughter and mother's birthday falls on the same week. So with that said: I will be documenting my weight loss and nutrition lifestyle soon. :-/ LOL!

Eyeshadow looks

Here are some eyeshadow looks I did over the past few days.

I used Wet n Wild's Snow Sprite for this look, Wet and Wild mascara, and eyeliner.
My friend Nicki, said this look reminded her of fairies. I agree!



This is a golden look using the Wet and wild Golden Goddess, Loreal Featherlash mascara in brown, and Elf brown eyeliner.



Here is a pink purple look using Maybelline Eyestudio in Purple Possibilites,
And Hot Looks Le Amour2. Wet and Wild mascara.




I purchased the Wet and Wild Color Icon palettes over the holidays when Walgreens had their 50% off sale, but never got to use them. I've been trying all my untrieds all week. I got the Hot Looks palette from AJ Wright during the after Christmas sale, and got it for a dollar. It has pretty metallic colors.

Toodles!

Eyeshadow looks & NOTD

Alright, so here is my eyeshadow look for the day:

Green shadow look using ELF 100 pallette

I really wanted to do a nail design, but didn't have time, so I polished with Duri as base and Nutra nail on top.

I've been experimenting with liners. I have some cheap ones from the beauty supply that I never used, and now I see why. :-/ They hardly showed on my skin, and I ended up using a blue eyeshadow in my ELF 100 palette to make it more pigmented.
I suppose next time I need to blot my eyes for the shininess. Lol!
It's a black liner with my pink eyeliner pencil, and a pink glitter liner on top.

In this one, I used my blue pencil and topped it with a blue shadow from my ELF 100.
I put a brown on my lid, but I'm not sure I will do that again. lol
