Taste for Tuesday: Pepper Chicken

What's cooking? Pepper Chicken! This super easy meal can be prepared in about 35 minutes tops! Well, after preparing the meat and veggies. Originally, I was inspired by Campbell's Pepper Steak recipe on the back of the beef gravy can, but I did a little modifying! Give this quick and healthy recipe a try:

Friday Favorites: bareMinerals

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This week, let's switch it up to Friday Favorites! I bring to you bareMinerals. I purchased the bareMinerals "Try. Believe. Love." kit from Ulta a few weeks ago during the Beauty Steals for $10 instead of $20. This was perfect because I've always wanted to give these products a try but strayed away because I wasn't sure if I'd get the bang for my buck. So I found this trial kit to be the perfect way to test it out. So this is what I got...

Thought for Thursday: The Way I See It

In honor of Throwback Thursday and the first day of Starbucks' Frappuccino Happy Hour, I'm bringing back a favorite quote that I once found on my very own cup...

Years and years ago, I purchased a Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks. Not only did I enjoy the delectable warm content inside of the cup, I indulged in the wise words on the outside of the cup. Believe it or not, it actually helped me through the times of doubt. And to this day, I still have that exact cup sitting on a shelf in my room! It reminds me that even when people do not invest their time into you, it doesn't mean you shouldn't invest your time into yourself. Because in the end, you are worth it.

Thought for Thursday: What Do You Crave?

A craving is a hard thing to resist. Whether it's the company of someone we love, happiness, freedom or peace of mind - it comes to us naturally. We can try to fight the feeling all we want but it won't call it quits that easily. So like I've been saying, INDULGE. However, when it comes to the craving of emotions, feelings and the need to belong to someone, the only way to get it is to give it. It isn't a one way street, it's a two way street that will leave both parties smiling and delighted in the end.

If you want to find love, give love.

If you want to be happy, make someone happy.

If you want to experience freedom, let others break free.

If you want to find peace of mind, help others relieve their stress.

And if you want to satisfy a craving, indulge -- as long as it brings you no harm.
