Yogurt Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hey guys!!! So here is a recipe for Yogurt Chocolate Chip Cookies! I altered it a little to fit what I wanted and what I had in my cabinet though. I'll list what the recipe calls for then list what I changed :)

1/2 C. packed brown sugar
1/2 C. white sugar
1/4 C. margarine or butter
1/4 C. Shortening
1/2 C. plain non-fat yogurt
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 3/4 C. all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 C. semisweet chocolate chips

So, instead of using sugar (which we are trying to use less of) I used 1/3 C. agave and I didn't have any shortening so I didn't melt my butter to give it the texture and just added a little vegetable oil and I used the whole cup of yogurt. So that's it, they are some of the best cookies I have ever ate! they are so yummy and fluffy!!! I think I'll go have another one now! lol

Hey everyone!!! Long time, no talk!!! I get the award for "Worlds laziesy blogger" this year! yay!!! I am going to try and get back in the groove of it though, doing something small like.........a nail post! Easy, simple, and almost no effort on my part :) So, today's choice of polish was OPI's Sparkle Yule Love from the holiday collection released at Ulta. I adore this polish! It is pink and glittery, everything that I am about!!! Pretty sure they should of named it Sammie, but maybe next time :( Anyways, I am off to bed so have some sweet, glittery dreams!!!

My mommy!

Hello lovely ladies! Sorry I have neglected blogging lately but now that I am getting caught up on youtube I decided I better tend to my blog as well. I was trying to decide what to blog about and my mom was standing in the dining room talking to my daughter so here it is.........I am blogging about my mommy! These are a few pictures I took a couple of months ago when I was visiting her in Arkansas and thats Jade, her maltese. My mom and I have always had a rocky relationship but thats another story that I won't go in to. My children adore her and that's all that matters now. She visits quite often and we love rummaging through thrift stores, sewing, crafts, and of course makeup hehe. And yes, we look almost identical and I hear "is that your sister" a million times a day when we go out but maybe someday people will ask my daughter that lol. Anyways, here's my mommy!!!

OOTN

Hey guys! Friday night I went out with a friend for a few drinks and I had planned on doing a video on my youtube channel but go figure, my video camera was dead so whats the next best thing? Pictures and a blog post of course! As always, I kept it quite simple and comfy but still tried to look cute and put together. Here's a list of what I wore:

A grey tanktop from Forever 21

A blazer, because it was snowing outside...yes snowing, which was from Maurices

The jeans were Silvers, also from Maurices

I added some black earrings from Claires

And my favorite part of the outfit? My shoes!

They are black velvet and absolutely adorable and most importantly comfy! They are dollhouse brand which I bought for $19.99 at Ross and the price tag makes them even better! lol. Well, that's about it! Hope you guys had a great weekend :)

Recent Haul Pics&Swatches

Let's start off with Creme d'nude, a lovely peachy nude with a Cremesheen formula so it has pretty good coverage on the lips but still remains to have a slight glossiness but no shimmer

This is Underage lipglass. I have been debating this one for quite sometime and finally decided I needed it for my nude lips coming on this fall. It is much peachier than I had originally thought but still very pale and pretty. It is, like most lipglasses, sticky but that is what gives that gorgeous shine and lasts long!

Now onto eyeshadows........This is Bronze eyeshadow which I wasn't sure I needed after having Mulch, but I am definitely glad I purchased it! It has a beautiful shine, not glitter, not shimmer, almost a metallic finish, I LOVE it! It is sooo pretty!

Next is Sketch. This is one of the most unique colors, sort of a blackened plum with a slight shimmer. Its so unique which I thought was going to be hard to work with but its not at all. I love it with Amber Lights on the lid and this is in the crease for everyday. This would also make a gorgeous smokey eye so I am excited to try that and will post when I do!

This is Purple Haze. Its a very smooth and soft matte shade which is hard to find. Its a beautiful lilac purple and exactly what I had hoped Vibrant Grape would be but Vibrant Grape is much more pink toned and slightly brighter. I think this shade is much more easy to work with and much more wearable. It goes with a lot more colors and can be worn so many different ways

That is it for now!

Xen-Tan

Hey guys!!! Sorry its been a while, things have been crazy and dealing with some personal stuff. We are moving in a week so things are really hectic right now, but onto the good stuff! I am definitely not afraid to admit that I am a self-tan addict. I LOVE being tan but I refuse to hit the tanning bed, it takes to long to drive there and back, I don't tan well, and skin cancer of course! Soooo I do the next best thing and self-tan. To be honest, the tanning products on the market now are much better than they use to be and I get a better tan at home than going to get a spray tan! I got one a few months ago and I ended up with dark and light blotches all over me and it began to fade and blotch really fast for around $30? No thanks! Anyways, I am always trying new tanning products, I guess I have a little tanning ADD. So far, my favorite has been Sun Labs but today I received this in the mail which I have been dying for! I have never heard a bad review on it and it was a bit pricey but I finally bit the bullet and bought it! I applied it today and I fell in love! I was using Sun Labs spray but since the weather is getting cold my skin is drying out so I needed a lotion which was the perfect reason to try this lol. It moisturizes sooo well! It feels like a dream going on and my husband keeps saying "you look sooo tan" and yes, that is after one day! What I love about this is that you put it on and it has instant color and your full tan develops within 3 hours! Some I have tried take a full 24 hours! So far, I am pretty impressed but I will update you guys as the days go on! What is your favorite tanning product?
