Valentine’s Day-Looks For Staying In and Going Out!

Hey Dolls,

So it’s February and Valentine’s Day is soon approaching! I have always loved Valentine’s Day because it’s always been a day to show love to loved ones in my house. Since I was young my sisters and I were given gifts and treats by our parents. Therefore, if you do or don’t have a romantic relationship on Valentine’s Day you can still use this day to hang with friends or family and show them how much you love them!

With that being said I have come up with a few different looks to wear on  Valentine’s Day! If you stay in for a cozy movie night, head out for a romantic dinner or get apps with friends;  I’ve got you covered!

First Up- Staying Home 

I for one love a good movie and popcorn this cozy ensemble is perfect for watching Netflix or your fave movie!

Joggers and a luxe tee- Similar found at Gap, Shoes are the Billy Jean in Pewter from JustFab

Dinner with the family or Appetizers with friends!

We all know that leggings are being worn to more than yoga nowadays. Make your Look work for going out by pairing it with a tunic length denim jacket. The heels are great if you want to dress the look up a bit!
Leggings are from my friend that sells Lularoe you can request to join her group on Facebook: Lularoe Carri

Similar pumps at JustFab

Tunic Length Tee from H & M

Converse Sneakers at Kohl’s

The socks are from Free People

Last but not least- A Fancy Dinner with your Main Squeeze!

I love the opportunity to dress up in a fancy frock and enjoy dinner out! A maxi dress pairs perfectly with a sophisticated shawl and pretty baubles!

Dressing Chic In Cold Weather💙❄️

Hey dolls,

It’s been so cold the last few weeks in Minnesota. I know you’re probably thinking isn’t it always cold in Minnesota? LOL, well no, not always and it’s been exceptionally cold even for us. It can be hard to know what to wear when you still want to look chic despite the cold weather. I have put together a few looks to give you some inspiration!

I used 3 staple pieces so I can show you how just changing things slightly can totally change your look!

Top- This Is My Too Tired Too Function Sweatshirt  by my Paper Pearl Boutique 

You could use another Chic graphic Top to achieve the look

Jeans-Black Van kingpins- One Teaspoon
-I would buy a size up if you want baggy, but check size chart.

Socks- Sophia Tall Socks By my Paper Pearl Boutique 

Athleisure

It’s pretty easy to make this style of dress look sloppy if you don’t accessorize the right way. Make sure to wear a watch, necklace and/or earrings to dress the look up a bit.


Chic

For a Chic look, try to pick one standout piece and go neutral for the rest of your look!


Casual-Glam

This is probably my favorite way to dress! I love faux fur as a layering piece to add just a dab of glam. Add something sparkly like a barrette or headband for that finishing touch!

Those are the looks! I hope I have given you some inspiration and motivation to keep dressing fabulous despite the cold weather! Do make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out on posts! Thanks for reading!

My Green Drink 🍵

The Hubby says I look like the perfect, milennial hipster in this pic! Yes, I’m a millennial. Therefore, I can laugh at myself; which I do often because what’s life without laughter! Moving Forward!

I, like a lot of people have embarked on a healthy eating journey this January. I actually have been doing a detox every January for the last 4 years and I have actually stuck it out each time and come away feeling better. This is not to brag, it is a challenge for me like most people to stick to a healthy eating routine. However, I have a few tricks up my sleeve to make it a bit bearable! I will share one of them here!

I typically try to eat healthy Year-round, however, at Christmas time I indulge a lot!  Therefore,  January is the perfect time to reset my body and get it back to normal. For my detox I can’t have milk, which really cramps my style because I love drinking coffee, Tea and Flat Whites, it’s literally an everyday thing. I usually drink tea as a replacement for my coffee during this time. More specifically as of late I’ve been drinking Matcha. Which are green tea leaves crushed into a powder form.

I love drinking Matcha because to me it has a creamier texture on its own. It helps me deal with the lack of milk I can have. I also like how filling it is!

Click To Buy Matcha!

Click the pic for a link to buy Matcha. I bought mine at Lunds and Byerlys in Edina, MN. 

Green Tea has many benefits one of which is it contains antioxidants! For me, I use it to help curb my hunger during my detox and it’s also a great way to take a relaxing moment to yourself.


You can read more about Green Tea benefits here: Green Tea Facts

Back to how I drink it!

I follow the instructions on the tea’s packaging.

Then I add: Stevia( 0 calorie all natural sweetener), Vanilla Extract, and cream when I can!


I use a honey spoon to stir my Matcha!


I hope you enjoy this yummy drink! I love to drink Matcha whether I’m detoxing or not because to me it’s delicious!

Have a great Week!

Until next time, stay chic dolls 💜

Baking and Roasting:Egg Bake🍳

I absolutely love breakfast food and I was really craving this place called the Pancake House which serves incredible breakfast. However, it’s only open until 3PM and I knew I wouldn’t make it there in time to not be annoying to all the staff, so I employed my second option which was to make something myself! I decided to go with an Egg Bake because I wanted the meal to be hearty so my family and I could have it for dinner! This is perfect for a brunch and/or entertaining!

I call this recipe : ©Ruby Madison’s French Egg Bake Souffle

Total Time: 1 hr 5 min

Prep: 5 min Cook: 1 hr This dish has about 6 to 8 servings

Supplies: 13 by 9-inch baking dish

Ingredients:

1 small-medium circular block of Brie Cheese

1 pound cheddar cheese, coarsely grated

12 large eggs, lightly beaten

2 cups sour cream
1/2 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 two-pack of Refrigerated Pillsbury Pie Crusts

Rosemary, White Pepper, Thyme

Butter

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Butter the 13×9” baking dish and spread one of the pie crusts to cover the bottom of the pan. You will have to flatten crust by rolling to accomplish this. Cut the Brie Cheese lengthwise and arrange flat thin slices to cover the entire pie crust in pan.
Whisk the eggs with the sour cream and whipping cream in a large bowl until blended. Season with pepper, Rosemary, White Pepper, and Thyme, blend it evenly . Pour the eggs over the Brie cheese and pie crust bottom into the pan . Spread the cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the eggs. Roll out and Cut the second pie crust into thin strips and do a criss-cross pattern if possible over the top, and bake in the middle of the oven until golden, about 45 minutes. Salt to taste. Enjoy with coffee and bacon!

Until next time, stay chic dolls 💜

Baking and Roasting!

Hey Dolls, 

This week has been so full of cooking, baking etc. I like to call it the season of eating lol. I made two things that were especially delicious and I’d like to share the recipes with you! One is a Prime Rib Roast and the other is an Egg Bake, I will share in another post.

Let’s Cook!
Whenever, I am in charge of Christmas dinner I make a Prime Rib Roast. This year I made a Roast with a recipe I got from the Pioneer Woman as a base. However, I made a couple of changes.



Total Time:
1 hr 25 min  Prep: 10 min   Inactive:  20 min Cook: 55 min  Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

1 whole boneless rib eye (12 to 15 pounds)
Olive oil
1/4 cup tri-color peppercorns
5 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup minced garlic
My added ingredients:

Rosemary Oil
White Pepper
Add these with the other ingredients
Directions:

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

Cut the rib eye in half (roast halves separately for more controlled/even cooking).

Heat some oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear both rib eye halves until a nice dark golden color, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Place the peppercorns into a bag and crush with a rolling pin. Shred the leaves from the thyme and rosemary sprigs. Mix the salt with the crushed peppercorns, rosemary leaves, thyme leaves and garlic. Pour olive oil over the rib eye and pour on the rub mix. Pat slightly to get it to stick to the meat. Roast for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 275 degrees F and roast until a meat thermometer registers 125 for rare/medium-rare, about 20 more minutes (the roast will continue to cook slightly after removing from the oven). Remove from the oven and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.

I’ve come up with a few Outfit ideas to help you get through this busy week!

Along with Athleisure, the pajama For Day trend has been gaining momentum. Make your Look work For Day and Night with a few items you probably already own!

Pair a stylish made for day robe with leggings, Tunic tee, and boots for a more casual look. To transition the look for a night out pair it with pumps.

Speaking of Athleisure, this is one of fave styles of dress because it allows you to dress casually in an elevated way. Add faux fur and pumps to dress up the look!

Mirabella Sweatpants

 

Beatrice Slouchy Sweatpants

Tulle Top from FreePeople 

In Your Wildest Dreams 

Last but not least, the Christmas season is of course a time to dress up in your fanciest attire! Pretty much anything goes; lace, fur, sparkles, sequins, maxis, minis and of course Velvet!
