Things I LOVE Thursday

WOOOP WOOOOP! Its Thursday and there is a huge pork loin cooking in the oven! MMMM its going to be so good yall.



Since I am cooking with a Paula Deen Marinade, it made me think of this HIGHLARIOUS site. Paula Deen riding things (and that is just what it is). See her in the hats from the royal wedding. LOL


AHHHH one more. LOVE EM!


Bananna Nut Bread! NOM!


Finally got our AIR FIXED!! WOO WOO!


Cut one of these up today! Watermelon, cant wait till the ones in our garden start to grow!! &&& Check out this recipe for Watermelon Ice. YUM


1/3 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
a 3-pound piece chilled watermelon
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice


In a small saucepan simmer water with sugar, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Transfer syrup to a bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and stir syrup until cold.
Discard rind from watermelon and cut fruit into 1-inch chunks. In a blender purée watermelon, syrup, and lemon juice and pour through a fine sieve into a 9-inch square metal baking pan, pressing hard on solids. Freeze mixture, covered, until frozen, 6 to 8 hours, and up to 2 days. Just before serving, scrape watermelon ice with a fork to lighten texture and break up ice crystals. Makes about 5 cups, serving 6.

Have a great one!! :-)

Review: Mac Charged Water


MAC says: "Charged water, fused with vital ions from rhodochrosite to create a powerfully protective hydrating mist to help defend the skin from environmental aggression. Packed with anti-oxidants, its peach-toned hue is imparted by the rhodochrosite itself. Its aroma, is a gentle blend of grapefruit mandarin.”

This stuff is the kick in the pants I need! I have had this in the refrigerator the whole weekend so it is super chilly. Two spritz's of this is all I need. Smells delicious. I am really using this for the refreshing aspect of it.

Some of the uses are:

*to seal in moisture
*sets foundation after applying
*anti-oxidant benefits

The only cons to this is the price. I did get mine at the outlets, so it was half price, 13.00. Sad, they are so far away though. I think I will just let myself indulge for a while.

Happy MONDAY!!

Up early this morning....

Not by choice.....I was was forced awake by B (from here on out I am going to refer to my husband as B) who was wondering where this strange sound was coming from....apparently when I was filling the water bowl up for our dog, I forgot to turn it off. heee heee oops, I distinctly remember standing by the faucet saying "lefty loosey, righty tighty". I guess I just said it in my head and never acted on it. Anywho, since about 6:30 I have been helping B with the farm. We snuck off though so I could check Facebook, get some grub, let the lil one nap, and holla at y'all.


yummmm....

Hope y'all are having a great Saturday!! &&&& congrats to everybody who is graduating this weekend! Gotta show some love to my NC schools!!! Go BLUE DEVILS...heeee heeee

Things I LOVE Thursday



My breakfast this morning! Bojangles oh how I adore your delicious chicken biscuits!!


I was in Walmart this morning and I found a rack of baby clothes for $1 !! My best friend is having a baby in July and I got her 3 super cute outfits. Of course I had to get a few for my little one too. It was AMAZING....oh and did y'all know that walmart has a whole clearance section? I was not aware of this, they tuck the isles all the way in the back near the garden center! I have yet to find the one at the walmart here, but in my hometown my bestie inlightened me!


Can you belive this dress is made out of Duct Tape? There is currently a "Duct Tape Prom" Contest for couples going on. So its dress and tux, the winners get $5000 each!! Check it the dresses here!


This is a $1 MILLION DOLLAR Hello Kitty painting. A friend of mine just got a Hello Kitty tattoo, and it got me searching through other peoples tattoos of the adorable little kitty. I stumbled upon this site called hellokittyhell. Some people are OBSESSED, it is really neat to look through.

*Hope y'all are having a great Thursday!!!*

Facial Mist

I don't know what happened to me after giving birth but these days I can't stand the heat. I sweat like a mule, my face mostly and my hair is drenched a lot of the time. Plus to top it off our air conditioner is broken. So it got me thinking about Facial Mists. These are a few I am looking into. Have yall tried anything like this before? Suggestions?





I want to try all of them. Heee heee. I can just see each of them sitting in the refrigerator waiting to cool me off. I really hope we get this air fixed soon. Lord have mercy it is hot and it is only going to get hotter.
