Winter Outfit

So now that Thanksgiving is over the next big holiday is about to happen...my birthday!!!!! Ok well it's not technically a holiday to anyone but me, but still it's only five days away!

So I decided to go online and look for me a new outfit. Seeing as how I'm broke some of it will have to wait till Christmas.

From H&M:

Powder Pink Wool Blend Coat - On sale for $49.95
I've not been one to favor the color pink but I absolutely love this shade of pink for a coat

Natural White Short Sleeved Blouse - $29.95
What sold me on this blouse is the metal chain at the neckline...Love it!

Black Slim Fit Pants - On sale for $14.95
Um did you see the price?? Who doesn't need a pair of black skinny jeans for that cheap

Combat Boots - On sale for $19.95
Black boots to go with black jeans. What else can I say about them except they're perfect!

From Forever 21:

Quilted Faux Leather Crossbody - $22.90
I've never really liked purses, I usually just carry a backpack but I thought this crossbody bag complimented this outfit perfectly!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Good evening everyone and Happy Thanksgiving to all my American viewers!! Everyone else, hope you have a great day anyway!

As we sit down with our families let us be thankful for all the things we have in life. Even the bad things because they have had a hand in making us who we are. To those who have to work on this holiday, I'm truly sorry you wont be with your loved ones. Be thankful though, that you have a job as others do not.

I thought I would make a list of a few things I'm thankful for.

1. A God who loves me
2. Family
3. Friends
4. Church 
5. A warm house to live in
6. A cozy bed to lay in
7. Every breath I'm given
8. All my little furry friends
9. My car
10. The wonderful food I'm about to devour

What are some things you are thankful for?

Hope everyone has a blessed day!!

Taste the Rainbow

 So the other day I discovered a new YouTube channel to watch called Good Mythical Morning. Two guys, named Rhett and Link, are over the channel and they are hilarious. Now you're probably thinking, what does this have to do with tasting the rainbow? 

On one of their videos they did a "does it cereal" challenge. They added random things to cereal to see if it was cereal material. The one that caught my attention was the skittles. They said the skittles themselves didn't cereal but the milk was fantastic. I looked at the comments and unbeknownst to me the UK actually sells skittles milkshakes. 

 Fear not, you don't have to travel to the UK to get a skittles milkshake. You can make your own...that's what I did at least.

I looked on Pinterest for recipes and there were hardly any except for one from a blog called The Fashion Visuals. I will post a link to her's at the bottom.

All you need is 

1. A bag of skittles

2. Milk 1 1/2 cup   

                            3. Vanilla ice cream (4 large scoops)

 I poured about a cup of skittles in the blender then added the milk. I blended those together first and then added the vanilla ice cream. Blended it once more until all of it was smooth. Mine didn't turn out thick and to be honest I didn't know if it was supposed to or not. Also you can add whip cream if you want. I did but I swiped some with my finger and it tasted expired. So I scooped mine off.

After it was all blended together I poured it into the biggest glass we had and took a sip. OMG! Who knew the rainbow tasted that great!

 

It kinda tasted like the nerds ice cream you could used to get. It tasted amazing! 

So if you live outside of the UK and can't get a skittles milkshake, just make one. It's a whole lot cheaper than a plane ticket. 

Go taste the rainbow and enjoy!

Hair Hack!

So the other day I saw a link that showed like 13 hair hacks. I love shortcuts and anything that's easy so of course I clicked on it.  The one that interested me the most was the one that showed you how to get waves or something like that.

The girl in the picture had three braids: one on each side and one in the back. She then used a straightener on them. The directions said to run the straightener on them a couple of  times.

Me being me decided to do multiple braids. I then went over each braid probable five different times and I did it slowly.

 Then I took out the braids and got this

Total fail. Not what I had in mind. I then went to post this blog but stopped on Pinterest and saw this:

So I decided to give it one more try but this time with only two braids.

        

 I liked this outcome a whole lot better! It was more subtle, however, it still didn't turn out like I thought it would. Maybe if I would've went over it a few more times it would've turned out better. 

It's still a good hair hack to quick waves though. If you've tried it let me know how it turned out!

#AlexFromTarget

If you were on twitter last night you saw all the craziness going on over a guy. Apparently a picture taken of an employee at Target was taken and posted to twitter. Then everyone began tweeting about #alexfromtarget. 

Apparently his phone number was posted on twitter, which meant he had to change his number. Oh and let's not forget that his girlfriend was getting death threats!! What?? That's crazy. Then began the memes.

And of course more people started trending from others posting their pictures. I will say they are cute but my favorite would have to be....

Twitter can be a little bit crazy sometimes.
