brunch time.....

Confession time, I'm not much of breakfast person. I know I know breakfast is the most important meal of the day but I just can't eat very early. I'm that girl that scarfing down a bowl of cereal before I head out the door just so I have something in my stomach. I do love brunch though, maybe it's cause I get to sleep in till 10:30 & still eat an omelet. So the other day when I was day dreaming about my brunch menu I knew crostini's would be perfect! They are so light but filling @ the same time, & this smoked salmon & scrambled eggs crostini is the best yet. Plus it takes no time to make them, which is even better for me!

Giveaway is open until Friday March 2nd at midnight. Good Luck!

stepped out in...Posh Party!

 

Can we be honest for a minute? Is there anything better than having a night with awesome bloggers, drinks and Cuban cuisine? Well the answer is yes. It would probably be becoming a millionaire and owning your own island, right? But a night with bloggers is a close second! So we didn't get rich or buy an island, but we definitely had a fun filled night with the Poshmark gals for the Spring Dresses posh party, and of course some fabulous SA bloggers (Linda, Tanvii, Sarah, and Tyesha) check them out if you haven't already. Seriously they are AH-mazing (that was so Rachel Zoe of me!) While your doing that go ahead and download the Poshmark app on your iphone now...go ahead ill wait. Its a great way to buy and sell clothes or any items you have that you can bare to part with. 

We also want to thank Poshmark for inviting us and of course all the ladies for making our first Poshmark party experience a success. We loved every minute! All you ladies are so POSH!!

(and I don't mean posh spice, she hasn't joined the next Spice Girls reunion tour and I'm still bitter)

How to get a Golden Smokey Eye

I usually leave the makeup tutorials to Mandy but this was too good to not pass along. I was recently looking for a totally different smokey eye & thanks to Smashbox I think I found it. It's totally rockerish & totally easy!

I'm the type of girl that will spend a lot of time on my hair but I only want to spend 10 minutes on my makeup. That's why this golden smokey eye is perfect for me! I wore it for a night out & this look took me about 10 minutes but my hair took 45 minutes, go figure?

Step 1. Line your eye with a cream eyeliner
Step 2. Use your brush & blend the cream eyeliner  up onto your eyelid until you reach your crease
Step 3. Take your black eye shadow & place it over your cream eyeliner. You want to make sure the eyeliner stays put
Step 4. Take your cream eyeliner & line underneath your eye. The eyeliner should be a tad darker on your outer corners of your eye. When you reach the inner corner it should almost dissapear
Step 5. Take your black eye shadow & go over your eyeliner just like in step 3
Step 6. Take your cream eyeliner once again & line your waterline. You don't want ANY white to show through, you want to see all black
Step 7. Take a gold shadow & tap it just on your inner corner of your eye

This look was so fun to do I'm already picking the next place to wear it out to :)
Have a great hump day!!

Loop it up!

I'm not a big ponytail girl. But when I do wear a ponytail I love to wear it in a fun, totally different way. This ponytail was featured in a magazine & it looked so cool & interesting, needless to say I wanted to recreate it. It was one of those looks that I spent a LOT of time playing with my hair. Realistically though it's the easiest ponytail ever. When we were taking pictures for this look it literally took no time @ all. It's a cool looped ponytail that adds just enough pizazz. I hope y'all like this totally fun totally different ponytail!

STEP 1. Put your hair into a side ponytail
STEP 2. While your hair is still in the side ponytail separate your hair so that there is a hole in the middle, above the rubber band
STEP 3. Take the bottom half of the ponytail & flip it through the hole
STEP 4. Keep pulling your hair through the hole until it feels nice & secure

I always love finding new ways to do a ponytail. If y'all know of a fun new way pass it along, I'd love to recreate it!

Peanut Butter, Chocolate Cupcakes

This recipe has been on my "to make" list for a while, ok for a VERY long while. This recipe is a spin on peanut butter & chocolate. Little fact I'm a huge lover of reese's peanut butter cups. Easter is one of my favorite holiday's partly because of the reese's peanut butter eggs, you know you love 'em too. I could eat a whole bag all by myself (I'm not proud of that)  If I can't have my own little bag of reese's peanut butter cups this chocolate cupcake recipe holds me over. It's perfect for a quick sweet bite.

Frittata-tamata

Happy Friday! With the weekend coming up all I can think about is brunch & TGIF :) Confession time, I've been a little obsessed with frittata's lately. I've been looking up lots of frittata recipes, mainly just choosing which ones I want to make. I settled on this smoked salmon recipe. It sounded delicious not to mention it was incredibly easy. I love frittata's you just throw whatever you have in the fridge with a bunch of eggs, fry it up & voila'!

Fried Strawberry Pies

Frozen pie crusts have been living in the freezer since thanksgiving, so i decided it was time to put them to use. I found this recipe for fried strawberry pies in a Southern Living cookbook and knew immediately i had to make them! It must be my southern roots because anything fried is good in my book!

These have just enough filling and crust & are absolutely delicious! If you didn't get your sweets fix from valentines day, theses should fix that!        

Happy Valentine's Day!

If your single and feeling sorry for yourself....DON'T! Whip yourself up a scrumptious souffle, sip on some Haterade (vodka, whiskey, triple sec & your favorite juice) and remember tomorrow is on it's way! As 3 single gals were gonna enjoy some nice girl time with our single friends! Do you have a hot date? We wanna know....  

Valentines dessert made easy

Valentines is just around the corner, can you believe it. Even though I don't have anyone special I do have one thing to look forward to, chocolate chocolate chocolate. There's one thing I've been dying to bake but I've been really scared to attempt it. Just the word souffle makes me nervous! So when I found this extremely easy chocolate souffle recipe I figured this would be the perfect time to make it. I mean whats Valentines day without a little chocolate?   
*i got so excited to make these that I over filled them, i apologize for the way they look but they tasted AMAZING

Stepped Out In (Blogger Style)

On Saturday we went to meet up with some fellow San Antonio bloggers  (shout out to Natasha and Tanvii)These ladies were just as great and fabulous as we thought they would be. So glad we made new friends! We were sad we couldn't meet all of them, but that just gives us another reason to meet up, maybe with some drinks this time?

So we did a little shopping after the meet up and decided to snap some pictures with our new tripod, behind a random buliding of course. These were fun!

Attempting jumping pictures is a lot harder than you think, or maybe it's just us?

How to curl your hair with a flat iron!

I can't tell you how many people ask me how I curl my hair. Well ladies here ya go! I love to curl my hair lots of different ways but this way is by far my favorite. It's so easy & it takes no time @ all. It may seem overwhelming @ first but trust me it's worth learning. When I curl my hair with a flat iron the curls last all day, without hairspray. Who knew a flat iron could be so useful

Super bowl Recipe-Sliders

Hi y'all! We have one more super bowl recipe for your eating pleasure. Well technically we have three more recipes. We put together some sliders that were sooooo delicious. We made caprese burgers, a caesar salad burger, & a shake shack burger. They were all very scrumptious & yes they were super easy to make. All we needed was a nice cold Woodchuck beer to wash them all down. Oh & one more thing GO GIANTS!!!
