Alfredo Salmon & Broccoli with Spaghetti Squash

This dish is so delicious with a unique twist. The spaghetti squash is a great substitute for pasta. Believe me, you won’t miss the noodles. Ingredients: 1 to 2 jars of Alfredo sauce (I had one small jar so I had to build the sauce up.) 1 large or 2 small fillets of salmon Broccoli…

Come Shopping with Me at Marshalls!

Early Saturday morning, I took a chance. I went shopping on the weekend before Christmas. I was finished with my gift shopping, but I couldn’t help wondering if I was missing a good deal out there. So I stopped by my favorite hybrid store, Marshalls and Home Goods. I never go into Marshalls when I’m…

Drug Store Versus High-End Body Scrubs

Jaboneria Marianella Hawaiian Black Lava Body Caviar with Charcoal. A fancy name for a body scrub, but does it work? I received this oil and salt scrub in my Fabfitfun subscription box. It costs $48 dollars for 7.2 oz. and $86 for 16 oz. The scrub doesn’t have a scent. However, this product is all…

IPSY December 2018

This bag is stunning. The bags are what take the IPSY monthly service over the top. Definitely worth ten bucks a month. Loving this Balm Nude Beach eyeshadow in the color Bootylicious. This is a bronze and red color mix with iridescence.  It’s great wet or dry. Grace & Stella Dead Sea Mud Mask. The…

Sephora December 2018

My monthly Sephora Playbox seemed to be geared towards lips and nude lip colors. Sephora Ultra Shine Lip Gel in the color Perfect Nude. This will work as a lipgloss or a topper for me. However, this is not a “nude” shade for my skin tone.   Clearly, I can’t use this Sephora lip liner…

Mielle: Conditioner & Curl Custard

I recently discovered that my hair loves honey. It moisturizes and softens my hair which keeps the frizz away. Mielle’s Pomegranate and Honey hair product line is a likely choice for me to test out. The leave-in conditioner is like a lotion. It’s not runny but not a thick cream. It slipped right through my…

FabFitFun Winter 2018 Box: Another Winner!

My FabFitFun Winter 2018 box came. I look forward to getting this beauty and lifestyle box every season. It never disappoints. I get full-size, high-end items for $49.99 a box. It’s an incredible deal! Oribe Gold Lust Dry Shampoo. Oribe is a high-end line, but I wasn’t sure I’d use a dry shampoo. Then I…

Home Spa Day: From Head to Toes

On the weekend, I set aside some time for a home spa day.  I like to pamper myself and relieve stress from the work week. This week I’m going to use Tree Hut’s Coconut Lime body wash, sugar scrub, and body butter. These products smell amazing, and they’re affordable at around $7 each. This scent…

Turkey Sausage Gumbo

I love gumbo, but I’m a lazy cook. Here’s my recipe for a quick spicy gumbo that takes less than an hour to make. Ingredients 1 package of turkey sausage. This Garrett Valley All Natural Smoked Turkey Kielbasa was $6 which was pricey, but the taste was out of this world. 1 can of sweet…
