...pinning


Well if you are like me at all you know all about PINTEREST... and if you don't, take my advice and DON'T check it out! It is so addicting, T R U S T me! Also take my advice and prepare yourself for your significant other to ask you what you are doing all of the time...which brought me to this little saying :D Enjoy!!! 


And, Happy Pinning!


Until next blog...

OH shoot!!!!

Sometimes you follow a recipe to a T...other times you make changes that you want...and on occasion you have no choice but to make substitutions because you can't find what you need! The latter happened to me today. Earlier this morning I was feeding my Pinterest addiction. (is there a support group for that yet?!) I was making my list for Target (just a quick run for a few things, rarely do I or you, make it out of there with a "few" things but I make a list to help...) ANYWAYS, making my list & pinning all at the same time, when I came across a Smore's cookie recipe...one click led to another click & before I knew it I stumbled upon a Oreo Pudding Cookie Recipe. Sounded pretty good & really quick, plus easy. I thought they'd make a nice addition for after dinner tonight.


So added to my list 

  • Instant Oreo Pudding Mix
  • Hershey's Cookies n Cream Bars
  • Chocolate Chips

Easy enough, Target has a little of everything so I'll just pick those up....WRONG! No big deal, I figure I'll just swing by the Walgreen's not too far from our house, because it's never easy to just run into Walmart...ehhh, F A I L. For the record Walgreen's does NOT carry chocolate chips or the Oreo Pudding Mix, just the standard vanilla or chocolate. So I start to make substitutions...I grab Oreos, Vanilla Pudding Mix, & Hershey Drops (chocolates without a candy shell)..so the ever so friendly cashier asks what I am making, I tell her well, Oreo Pudding Cookies, but I am substituting almost everything because I can't find this or that. She says you should just get one of those Jello Instant Oreo Desserts...I like the way she thinks, I said do you have it? Of course they don't, but she said that Dollar Store right over there will! So we put everything back & off I go again. Last stop I tell myself or we aren't having dessert tonight.


So as you probably can guess they had the No Bake Oreo Dessert & the chocolate chips or I wouldn't be writing this blog right now. I must admit though I was nervous to make these substitutions since I've never made the original recipe, but I must say in the words of my sister "OH shoot these are good!"


Hope you enjoy! Until next blog...

...mascara magic!

If you are still stuck in the "old" days of reading a magazine (not everything has to be online and for me, there is just something about holding it in your hands, flipping through the pages...)anyways, you know how they do not skimp on the subscription cards. Almost as soon as you pick a magazine up, a couple fall out and almost always hit the ground. Well today's tip will help put some of those cards to good use!


Now I am sure the magazine companies wouldn't appreciate this tip, but those who are "reduce, reuse, recycle" might! These little cards work magic when applying mascara! Not only does it help prevent the occasional lash blot, but it really helps you coat the lashes from base to tip!




So there you have today's Tips-y Tuesday! Go ahead, give it a try, pass it along, & don't forget to bat those lashes when you are out and about:D
