Loving Lately

Hey there! Sorry for the hiatus this week. I am finally getting the hang of the new laptop. I forgot how much work it is to set all your settings, organize all your documents, bookmark your favorites, transfer everything from the old to the new, etc. Also, thanks for all of the "back up" recommendations.

Okay, let's get right down to business. A few things I'm loving lately...

L'Oreal's Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stain: I am a total sucker for good commercials, so when I saw L'Oreal's new lip stain advertisement I immediately had to have it in “Pink Resistance.” I love how much longer it lasts on my lips than other lip glosses. Even after a full meal, the shine fades but the color definitely stays. For $7.99, I highly recommend picking up a tube during your next Target run.

Guacamole: I cannot stop eating this stuff lately. I have been making it as a “side dish” for dinner, like every night. You know, tacos and guacamole, pizza and guacamole, pasta and guacamole. The perfect complement to any entrée, right? Okay, fine. Maybe not.  Regardless, here is the recipe: 

Ingredients:
4 Ripe Avocados
2 Limes, juiced
1 Roma Tomato, diced
1 Small Red Onion, diced
1 Jalapeno, deseeded and diced
1/2 cup Cilantro, chopped
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Kosher Salt to Taste

Mix all of the ingredients together until well blended.

Snow! We had our first {and probably only} snow in Charlotte last weekend. It was so fun to see our home covered in 3 inches of white powdery snow for the first time. And I wasn't the only person excited for a snow day…

That boy looooves his football!

 New laptop: When did Toshiba start packaging their laptops in pizza boxes?

Bagel Sandwiches: My new lunch go-to for the week, sans turkey. I start with an everything bagel thin and add a layer of Trader Joes White Bean Hummus, a thick tomato slice, alfalfa sprouts, a thin slice of provolone, avocado and whatever else I can find in the fridge.
