Happy Easter





















*all images found via weheartit & flickr

Hiya guys,
Long time no see really. I'm sorry, my bad. Just been really uninspired and mopey and such. I'll be back later this week with some stories and pictures. I wanted to pop out an Easter greeting really quick because this just might be my favorite holiday.
I need to go to sleep now because I have to wake up super early to hide Logan's Easter basket. I'm going to try super super hard tomorrow to do the picture an hour thing. I think it would be really cute!

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

Xo!

Avon review: Ultra Color Rich Moisture Seduction in Tangerine


Ultra moisturizing maybe orange enough lipstick:
I want to try and start reviewing products that I order. I'm super not good at this sort of thing, so bear with me, I'm a work in progress.

I've been on the hunt for orange lipstick. I was coveting Revlon's Siren but it seemed silly for me to buy some when I should really see if Avon carried any. I spied the Tangerine shade in the catalog and ordered it.

I'm happy with the color. Its not as orange as I wanted, but the shade is lovely none the less. I'm really impressed with how moisturizing the lipstick is. I don't really have dry lips except in the winter but this stuff definitely felt like a lip vacation.

Its on sale right now for $4.99! and comes in 10 gorgeous shades. If you'd like to order this lipstick click here.

Music... Wednesday: TVOTR



I just learned that Gerard Smith of TV on the Radio has passed away. Super sad. I was fortunate enough to see them perform at Bonnaroo in 2009.



I need to check out their new album.

RIP! :(

Music Monday: The Postal Service

Ohmygoodness, is there a more wonderful band? Don't you just feel like the coolest thing ever when you're driving around in your car when its raining or late at night listening to them? Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Camborello created pure ear orgasm magic.

Give Up will eternally be in my top ten, maybe even top 5. There is not one single bad song on that album. I can't really say anything else, I mean, you know how fantastic they are, right? You have to! Unless you live under a rock.


I love love LOVE this video! This song is almost played too much, but the video... FANTASTIC!

You know I've never really liked Deathcab for Cutie, but I think I should give them another chance. That and Bright Eyes. Maybe my taste has changed and I'll like them.



Clark Gable is my favoritest song on that album. Mostly because I'm a Clark Gable freak, but I like the lyrics a lot too.

"And I kissed you in a style Clark Gable would have admired/ I thought it classic" = Epic!

Every day I'm .... tumblin' tumblin'

I've been trying to tumble (sp?): saltwatertiffy.tumblr.com

my face is dumb. true story.


My mom said I look like a whore and thats why I have few blog followers. Mehhhh! 
Not really, that's just how I twisted her words. While I figure out how to not look so 'provocative' here are some stupid faces I make when I'm not ready for the self timer to go off!

DIY Friday: (Easy as Pie) Vegetarian Tacos

google images: mdjunction

I wasn't going to do a diy today because I've been moving and haven't had time to diy anything, but I figured I could piece together this recipe from pictures on the internet and that would be okay, right?

I've dabbled with being vegetarian. I really don't like meat that much, so its not such a big deal. I love eggs entirely too much to be vegan, but maybe someday. Most of the time when I make a vegitarian meal I just crumble up random Morningstar patties in place of the meat. Someday I will create legit meals, but for now, this works and tastes just fine.

One of my favorite Morningstar meal creations is Vegetarian Tacos. I use the Chipotle Black Bean Burgers in place of the meat.

costco.com
Ingredients:
Taco Shells
Lettuce (I often use fresh spinach instead)
Tomatoes
Chipotle Black Bean burgers
Sour Cream
Cheese
Salsa
AVOCADO! (definitely the best ingredient)

Directions:

Chop up veggies

Cook bean burgers in microwave or whatever. Crumble them up.

Warm taco shells. Taco shells are so much tastier when they are warm or toasted.

Put bean mixture in taco shell, top with cheese, veggies, etc. 

Nom down. 

So simple!
