Hello Dearies!

On Tuesdays I smile

Hello Dearies! The fact that I live out in the country makes this way more funny than it is. But seriously, if a cow charges, you run. I have scars to prove this #farmlife :)

Dry Run Fun

Hello Dearies! So a dry run is basically a simple practice makeup where I skip the foundation either because I'm running low or I'm too lazy and don't want to have to do a heavy cleanup between each makeup. It's fun because I can do a lot of things in one afternoon. I can also decide quickly if an idea is working or not and I can easily fix mistakes. If a find a makeup is too hard for me during a dry run, there is little chance of me succeeding at it when I have a full face foundation on.

5 Fandom Friday: Smart Phone Apps I Cannot Live Without

1. Instagram. This should be a no-brainer. I’m a photographer and anything that takes away from the drama of other social sites and lets us focus on life makes me happy. If I could get off all my sites and just do instagram, I would. I’ve got a other apps to add to this list that I enjoy but instagram is really the only one I can’t live without.

2. Twitter. I avoided twitter in the beginning. I already had facebook and I thought twitter would be a waste of my time. But after hearing about how facebook controls my feed so I don’t always get to see what I want, and that not everyone could see me, I had to give twitter a try. I love it! Like so much! I've met more friends and also more clients (they pay my bills ) on twitter. It’s a great site and I am lucky enough that I don’t find it as dramatic as some do. I think it’s all about who you follow. I’ve been able to digitally surround myself with awesome people :)

3. Google Calendar. My memory is absolutely horrible. If I don’t write something down, it’ll be forgotten immediately. I put everything in my calendar. It has made my life so much easier.

4. Pinterest. Has there ever been a site so wonderful. I think pinterest is officially where I get all of my ideas. I don’t even remember my life before pinterest. I really don’t :)

5. And that’s all folks. I know we need five but the truth is I try to stay off of my phone as much as possible so I deleted all time wasters… You can argue that pinterest is the biggest of all time wasters but I disagree. I know a lot of people pin all day with nothing to show for but I actually enjoy doing crafty things I’ve found there. I do at least 2 a week so I call that a win :)

5 Fandom Friday: Comfort Foods That Always Make Me Feel Better

I looooooooooooooooooooooove to cook! So I took to instagram to find my versions of all of my favorite comfort foods. It took awhile to find them all. It turns out I don’t take as many photos of food as I thought :)

Oh and for those wandering about last weeks post, I decided to skip that one. You see, I recently had a baby. And while many woman getting cravings, I get anti-cravings. This means instead of wanting a food, I hate it and the smell/taste of it makes me sick. One of my biggest anti-cravings was candy and chocolate. And even though Thor is now 2 months old, the anti-cravings still haven’t worn off. Even looking at photos of my favorites made me sick. I just couldn't do it. Anyways, long story short, I love Cadbury Eggs... but I can’t look at them right now :)

Not onto to my favorite yummy comfort foods:

1. Mashed Potatoes with Chives. I make it every holiday or big family get together and then about twice a month, I’ll mash up a potato and make a single serving for myself.

2. Soft pretzel bites with Cheesy dip. These are shockingly simple to make. And now they have become a huge favorite of my friends so they insist on me making them whenever they come over for movie nights.

3. Popcorn with skittle. My cousin and I discovered this awesome treat on accident while at a movie theatre when we were kids and we’ve been eating it ever since. Except now I can’t stand microwave popcorn so a pan pop my own. It’s sooooooooo much better that way. It also tastes way better when we’re playing Scrabble. Don’t ask me why :)

4. Homemade pizza. The one photographed includes grilled chicken, mushrooms and white alfredo sauce. So so yummy!

5. Grilled Cheese sandwiches with tomato soup. I saved the best for last. This has been my all-time favorite meal since I was a kid. Now I make it whenever I’m feeling sick or unhappy. It is the all-time BEST get well meal.
