PRIME TIME CHIC!!!

So I love to travel.  And I love to experiment.  So while I traveled I experimented with Blue.  Now my instructor in Make-Up class said blue is not good for pictures, but I beg to differ.  I love that pow!  I get my pow from eye primers....I have on Urban Decay that I got from a nice lil set from Sephora.  There are other primers NYX, Too Faced, and MAC.  Good Stuff! Prime and you will shine all the time.  How do I look? Ooh, I primed my face too! And my lips.  And my....just joking.

NAWLINS!!

I had the privilege of dinning at Nawlins on a Restaurant.com coupon.  Love it!  Although I make a pretty good gumbo (and probably healthier one) the gumbo was delicious.  Puhleeeeeease don't tell me it was in a bag, can, or frozen because I would be distraught.  My tropical tea was the best hooked up long island ever.  I gotta duplicate it.  Oh yeah, whatever I like I try to duplicate, so look for recipes for the things I talk about.  I haven't failed yet.  My scallops were a little tough, garlic parsley potatoes were just right, and my hush puppies....ba-bee gal!  I could still see and taste the onions in it.  My dinner partners Scampi looked really oily, but well herbed.  I really didn't get a chance to view the lobster tail because Hoover inhaled it.  To top it all off, they didn't have any crab legs, their order was short, and they didn't have the turtle cheesecake we were to share.  The cheesecake we did received probably shut down the one we had our hearts set on.  And they took the dessert off the bill.  Good comp.  Will be returning.  Ciao and Chow!

Metamorphic rock

Def:  Any of a class of rocks that result from the alteration of preexisting rocks in response to changing geological conditions, including variations in temperature, pressure, and mechanical stress. i.e.  ME!! The alterations are a stronger version of the previous me. 

The Beginning.....

Everyone always teases me about taking classes for everything.  Whatever I want to know, I will find out how to do.  I've learned to knit, crochet, make-up artistry, sew (tailoring), cook (degree), and host of other things.  I love DIY, travel, fun, and I'm a foodie.  So I decided to post my travels, treats, and treasures.  This will take you on a ride of my nonsense and mayhem I indulge in on a daily basis.  I hope you will enjoy.
