CHICKEN PARM ZUCCHINI BOATS 🚣🏼‍♂️🚣🏼‍♂️🚣🏼‍♂️

I saw this recipe on Pinterest and had to try it! I’ve been cooking a lot lately since I’ve been staying home during this quarantine. Two things I love are chicken parmesan and trying out new healthy recipes. These chicken parm zucchini boats were super easy and fun to make! The end result was a success and they were absolutely delicious!

INGREDIENTS:

Zucchini 🥒

Ground Chicken 🍗

Tomato Sauce 🥫

Salt 🧂

Pepper 🧂

Garlic Powder 🧄

Grated Parmesan Cheese 🧀

Shredded Mozzarella Cheese 🧀

DIRECTIONS:

Cook your ground chicken in a pan. I like to use ground turkey. Your preference.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

While your chicken is cooking, you can start prepping your zucchini. Cut off the ends of the zucchini and then cut them length wise. Carve out the inside with a knife to make your little boats.

Put your boats in a greased baking dish and set aside.

Once the chicken is just about done, turn the heat down to a low simmer. Add in your tomato sauce, a little bit of salt, pepper and garlic powder. I don’t measure!

Also, add in a handful of parmesan cheese and a handful of mozzarella cheese.

Gently stir it all together. You’ll notice the mozzarella starting to get nice and stringy 🤤

Add your chicken parm mixture into your boats.

Top with some mozzarella cheese.

Bake in the oven for 25 minutes.

Now here’s the most important part. Switch your oven to broil. Broil on high for about 3 minutes! This is what makes that top layer of mozzarella get nice and brown and crunchy!

Let cool for a few minutes and then enjoy!

SHEIN HAUL 👗👙

So I have a bad online shopping habit that I’m sure a lot of y’all can relate too, especially during this quarantine! I popped onto SHEIN because I needed a dress to wear this summer to a wedding, and of course I couldn’t order just one thing. SHEIN is known for having such cute, affordable clothing. I’ve ordered from them once before and was beyond pleased with my items. Enjoy this fun little tiktok I made to show some of the cute pieces I got!

ITEMS:

1. Off Shoulder Wrap Front Ruffle Hem Ditsy Floral Dress $16.00

2. Tiered Puff Sleeve Crop Bustier Milkmaid Top $12.00

3. Solid Drop Shoulder Boxy Top $8.00

4. Solid Roll Up Sleeve Crop Top $8.00

5. Square Neck Puff Sleeve Rib-knit Bodysuit $9.00

6. Tie Dye High Waisted Bikini Swimsuit $11.00

7. Tie Dye High Cut Bikini Swimsuit $12.00

**SIDE NOTE**

This site is amazing and is always offering coupon codes! These are the prices BEFORE any discounts. I used a 20% discount code, so I got these items for even cheaper!

**ALSO**

I ordered everything in a size large. SHEIN clothing tends to run very small! I am typically a medium, so I always order a size up!

REVIEWS & RATINGS:

1. Off Shoulder Wrap Front Ruffle Hem Ditsy Floral Dress:

This dress is adorable. I ordered it to wear this summer to a wedding. I think I could really dress it up if I wore my hair up and threw on some heels and nice jewelry. Or I could just wear it as a basic summer dress. It’s the perfect length and the sleeves stay in place on my shoulders.

RATING: 9/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2. Tiered Puff Sleeve Crop Bustier Milkmaid Top:

This top is SO pretty. I’m a little disappointed because the bottom of the shirt isn’t tight. It zips up in the back, but is very loose around my waist. I may be able to make it work if I sew a little hook in the back at the bottom to tighten it, kind of like how a corset would work. Only rating this low because of how it fits. It really is gorgeous too though.

RATING: 6/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

3. Solid Drop Shoulder Boxy Top:

Not much to say! Love a simple crop top!

RATING: 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4. Solid Roll Up Sleeve Crop Top:

Read previous rating! Loose and comfy!

RATING: 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5. Square Neck Puff Sleeve Rib-knit Bodysuit:

Puff sleeves are SO in this season! I love this bodysuit. I wear a lot of simple, plain colors which is why I went with the black. This bodysuit fits nicely, a little loose, but very comfy!

RATING: 9/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

6. Tie Dye High Waisted Bikini Swimsuit:

SHEIN bathing suits are amazing!! I ordered one last year and it fit perfectly and was great quality. I love how this one is high waisted and how cute is the tie dye?!

RATING 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

7. Tie Dye High Cut Bikini Swimsuit:

Of course I had to order two bathing suits. This one was a little out of my comfort zone. The bottom is high cut and a little cheeky, but it fit perfectly and I felt good in it! Tie dye is the trend this summer!

RATING: 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

OREO TRUFFLES 🖤🤍🖤🤍

Happy Easter! I hope everyone is staying safe and making the best of today during this quarantine. I decided to make my favorite Oreo truffles this afternoon and deliver them to my family members, since we are unable to spend the holiday together. Who doesn’t love a delicious chocolate treat!? These truffles are easy and fun to make! It gets a little messy, so roll up your sleeves and try not to eat too much of the batter along the way!

INGREDIENTS:

1 Package of Oreos 🍪

1 Package (8oz) of Cream Cheese 🥯

Chocolate Chips 🍫

White Chocolate Chips 🤍

DIRECTIONS:

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.

Put the whole package of Oreos into a giant zip block bag.

Time to take some aggression out! Using your fists, start pounding the Oreos. Break them up and get them as crumbled as possible.

When you are all done, empty the Oreo crumbs into a mixing bowl.

Add in your cream cheese.

Using your hands, knead the Oreos and cream cheese together. Keep on mushing it together until you see no white (no cream cheese.)

I told you it gets a little messy!

Take small pieces of the batter and roll little, truffle size balls with your hands. Place them on the wax paper. You should be able to make around 40 truffles.

Pour some chocolate chips into a bowl and microwave for about 2 minutes. Keep checking on it and stirring.

Once the chocolate chips are melted, take each truffle ball and roll it into the melted chocolate with a spoon and then place it back onto the wax paper.

Melt some white chocolate chips.

Using a spoon, carefully drizzle the melted white chocolate all over all of the truffles on the cookie sheet.

Put the truffles into the freezer for about 1 hour.

Don’t eat too many! They can be addicting!

LANEIGE LIP PRODUCTS 💋💋💋

Alright ladies, want the best products for kissable, soft lips? Well here ya go! I have seen these two products everywhere and finally made the plunge to order them. They are highly recommend by beauty influencers like Laura Lee and Tana Mongeau. LANEIGE lip products are a little on the pricey side but they are high end and totally worth it! Pucker up!

PRODUCTS & PRICES:

1. LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm Pear $17.00 (Sephora)

2. LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask $20.00 (Sephora)

REVIEWS & RATINGS:

1. LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm Pear:

What I love about this lip balm is one, the pear scent and two, the shine it gives. Also, you rarely need to reapply it. It doesn’t just dry up on your lips like ordinary chapstick. Your lips stay coated with this balm which seems like forever! This is nice because I feel like they are constantly staying moisturized.

RATING: 8/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2. LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask:

I’ve never tried any mask like this before and thought it was so cool. It comes with a tiny little brush to apply the mask with. You apply it before bed and then wipe off the access product in the morning. It stays on ALL NIGHT! It doesn’t dry up or just soak into your lips. All night long your lips are staying coated with this smooth and creamy balm. My lips always feel soft in the morning after using this mask. It wasn’t a huge, dramatic change though, which was what I was hoping for. You do get a lot of product for the price.

RATING: 8/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

CAULIFLOWER CRUST PIZZA 🍕🍕🍕

So I love pizza. My favorite food is pizza. I could eat pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I am also not picky when it comes to my pizza. I grew up eating Ellio’s and Domino’s pizza but of course am a lover of Pepe’s and BAR pizza. One thing I have never tried was a healthy version of pizza. Until now! Boy, was I blown away! I’ve never even eaten cauliflower before, so making a cauliflower crust was really stepping out of my comfort zone. Imagine being able to eat pizza and not worry about it being bad for you?! I 100% give this pizza a 10/10! Easy to make, good for you, and tastes heavenly!

INGREDIENTS:

2.5 cups Riced Cauliflower 🍚

1/2 tsp Dried Basil 🍃

1/4 tsp Dried Oregano 🍂

1/4 tsp Garlic Powder 🧄

1/4 tsp Salt 🧂

1/3 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese 🧀

1/3 cup Mozzarella Cheese 🧀

1 Egg 🥚

Pizza Sauce 🥫

Toppings Of Your Choice! 🧀🥦🥓🍗

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

For the cauliflower, I used 1 package of frozen riced cauliflower which contains 2.5 cups. I like to make my recipes easy! You could buy cauliflower, cut off the florets (whatever that means) and then “rice it” in a food processor, but that just seems like a lot of work to me! LOL

Microwave the cauliflower for however long the package says. Empty it out onto paper towels and soak up as much water as you can! I went through quite a few paper towels.

Put the cauliflower into a mixing bowl and add in all the ingredients. The basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and the egg and mix.

Using your hands, create a ball with the mixture.

Place the ball onto the cookie sheet and gently start flattening it out into a oval shape. This will be your crust. Make sure it’s not too thick or too thin.

Put it in the oven for 15 minutes. Take it out and gently flip it over. Put it back in the oven for 3 minutes.

Turn the oven down to 350 degrees.

Add your pizza sauce and toppings. I just did mozzarella cheese and pepperoni.

Put back into the oven for 4 minutes.

Let cool, slice with a pizza cutter and bon appétit!

At-Home Spa Products 🧖🏽‍♀️🧖🏽‍♀️🧖🏽‍♀️

One thing I’ve been doing to keep myself busy during this quarantine is a lot of self care. Everywhere that you would typically go to get pampered is closed for the meantime for safety reasons. What a perfect time relax and take care of your skin! I decided to hop onto amazon and order a comfy spa robe and grabbed a couple of new face masks to try. It’s spa time!

PRODUCTS & PRICES:

1. Turquaz Linen Lightweight Long Waffle Kimono Unisex Spa Robe $24.99 (Amazon)

2. FORMULA 10.0.6 Three Time Sublime $8.49 (ULTA)

3. FORMULA 10.0.6 Deep Down Detox Ultra-Cleansing Mud Mask $6.99 (ULTA)

REVIEWS & RATINGS:

1. Turquaz Linen Lightweight Long Waffle Kimono Unisex Spa Robe:

This is the BEST item I have ever spent my money on. I have had this giant, cheetah, fleece robe for years. Yes, it is warm. That is all. It is not cute or effective while getting ready. It has this huge, puffy collar so I’m not able to do my hair while wearing it. I am obsessed with this new robe. The clean, white color and the waffle pattern reminds me of a spa or hotel robe. It’s soft, light weight, the perfect length and doesn’t have a collar to get in my way!

RATING: 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2. FORMULA 10.0.6 Three Time Sublime

This mask is a 3 in 1 formula. It is a blackhead removing face wash, scrub, and mask. Right away, I loved the light grapefruit smell. The mask itself feels and looks luxurious. It is soft, creamy, and white with tiny pink jojoba exfoliating beads. I applied the mask and let it dry for 15 minutes. With warm water, I gently exfoliated with the mask and rinsed it off. It removed almost all the little blackheads on my nose and cheeks. Amazing!

RATING: 9/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3. FORMULA 10.0.6 Deep Down Detox Ultra-Cleansing Mud Mask

I loved the look and smell of this mask as well. It’s was creamy, had a pastel orange color to it, and a light orange fragrance. Another high end looking mask. After 15 minutes of drying, I rinsed it off with warm water. My skin did look noticeably brighter. Make sure to apply this mask in a thin layer so that it dries completely.

RATING 9/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Every once in a while I get a little sweet tooth. Especially for chocolate. I love chocolate ice cream, chocolate milkshakes and of course who remembers the infamous Wendy’s frosty?!

ULTA & TARGET HAUL 🛍🛍🛍

I purchased these products at the beginning of the month and I finally have had the time to get everything reviewed for y’all! Most of these items are everyday essential beauty products that I wanted to try out! Almost anyone can use these products for a little TLC!

PRODUCTS & PRICES:

1. Tree Hut Tahitian Vanilla Bean Shea Sugar Scrub $7.19 (ULTA)

2. PACIFICA After Sun Cool & Glow Facial Sheet Mask $4.99 (ULTA)

3. Tree Hut Brown Sugar Sugarlips Lip Scrub $5.99 (ULTA)

4. NIVEA Body Lotion $5.49 (Target)

5. Sonia Kashuk Filter Makeup Sponge $4.99 (Target)

6. e.l.f. Brow Comb & Brush $2.00 (Target)

REVIEWS & RATINGS:

1. Tree Hut Tahitian Vanilla Bean Shea Sugar Scrub:

I tried this body scrub for the first time and loved it! It is a gel like consistency with gritty sand-like exfoliating beads. It feels amazing! It does a great job exfoliating and has a light vanilla scent to it.

RATING: 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2. PACIFICA After Sun Cool & Glow Facial Sheet Mask:

I am always down to try a new face mask. This one is meant to be used after being in the sun. It has cooling ingredients in it like Aloe. I used it after a long, relaxing session in the tanning bed. My skin felt cool and fresh afterward. Nothing too crazy, just your average sheet mask. Good for the price.

RATING: 7/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3. Tree Hut Brown Sugar Sugarlips Lip Scrub:

As well as trying new face masks, I’ve also really been into trying new lip scrubs. This one reminded me of the Burt’s Bee’s Conditioning Lip Scrub. This scrub did a little better job of exfoliating than the Burt’s Bee’s scrub. It has a gritty feel that gently exfoliates then dissolves into a cream-like balm to moisturize your lips. The one thing I did not like about this scrub was the scent. I wasn’t a fan of the brown sugar taste. Other than that, I thought it did a good job with making my lips feel soft.

RATING: 8/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4. NIVEA Body Lotion:

I wanted to try this lotion because my skin has been very dry these past couple of months. Especially my hands with all the extra hand washing we need to be doing right now! I got the one for dry to very dry skin. It’s a thicker lotion that you really need to work in, but it feels extremely moisturizing. After using this lotion consistently for a couple of weeks, I noticed a huge difference. My skin feels SUPER soft and silky.

RATING: 9.5/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5. Sonia Kashuk Filter Makeup Sponge:

I’ve currently been using the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge which is a GIANT beauty blender to apply my foundation in a quick way. I was hesitate to try this sponge because of it’s smaller size, but as soon as I started using it I fell in love. I can still apply my makeup quickly, but because of this sponge’s unique shape and curves it has, it does an amazing job of getting my foundation in all the little areas of my face. My foundation came out flawless. It has a pointy and curved edge to get close under your eye to blend concealer and a flat side so you can carve out your contour and bake with powder.

RATING: 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

6. e.l.f. Brow Comb & Brush:

I couldn’t even tell you how many years ago I got this exact brush. It feels like it was one of my very first makeup brushes I ever had. Mine was looking very sad and destroyed after so many years of use, so I repurchased it. For ONLY TWO DOLLARS, I recommend it to everyone! It is your essential brow brush. One side is a mini comb and one side is a mini brush. You can even use it to comb your eyelashes!

RATING: 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

QUARANTINE BOOTY ROUTINE 🍑🍑🍑

A lot of us are stuck inside the house right now. It’s a sad, crazy, and stressful time with everything that’s going on in the world. We are told to “stay home, stay safe” and to “social distance” ourselves. It’s the correct thing to do at a time like this, but it can leave some of us bored out of our minds! One thing that’s keeping me sane is doing some home workouts in my living room. I’ve found some good ones on YouTube and this has become one of my favorites! It gets your heart rate going and really works those leg muscles. It’s my quarantine booty routine! Give it a shot!

My Migraine Story 🤯

I have always been someone who got bad headaches. If you’ve ever experienced a migraine, I’m sure you know how painful they are. For me, it feels like someone hit me in the forehead with a sludge hammer. My whole face hurts, my vision gets blurry and I feel nauseous. It interferes with my daily life. I have tried every over the counter medication and home remedy possible to try to get rid of them. I think I’ve even tried eating a banana every day for 2 months straight because I heard that could help! Here are some things that I have been using that do work and have helped me get through the tough times! I hope they can help you too!

PRODUCTS & PRICES:

1. 100% Pure Peppermint Essential Oil $5.87 (Walmart)

2. SOJOS Blue Light Blocking Glasses $19.68 (Amazon)

3. Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser $12.95 (Radha Beauty)

4. Warmies Cozy Sloth Scented Plush $22.99 (The Paper Store)

REVIEWS & RATINGS:

1. 100% Pure Peppermint Essential Oil:

Using peppermint oil is a home remedy that I’ve read about online. I have always been very skeptical about this theory. I was amazed when I tried this that it actually worked! All you do is take a few drops on your index fingers and massage the oil into your temples. Almost immediately, you can notice your headache starting to clear up! It really does help! I don’t know how it works, but I’ll keep on using it! Warning! Be careful not to put it too close to your eyes! It can burn!

RATING: 9/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2. SOJOS Blue Light Blocking Glasses:

These glasses are anti-blue light which help you from straining your eyes. They make the light from my phone screen not hurt my eyes as much when I have a headache. I like to wear them while I’m laying in bed, scrolling on my phone in the morning to prevent a headache from coming on. When I get migraines at work, the computer screen and the bright fluorescent lights I work under can really bother my eyes. I haven’t gotten a chance to use them at work but I’m really interested to see how these will help in the future. This brand is super cute. I got the retro round style in the color pink.

RATING: 6/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

3. Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser:

I’ve had this oil diffuser for years now and I think this is something that if it has any potential to help a migraine, I’m gonna use it. Don’t know exactly how affective it is, but it does smell good. Super simple, you fill it with some water and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil and that’s all! Your room starts to fill with the amazing smell of a hippy smoke shop. I like to use lavender or peppermint oil since they are calming and relaxing scents.

RATING: 9/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4. Warmies Cozy Sloth Scented Plush:

I purchased this product about two months ago and I already cannot sleep without it! First of all, how cute is it?! I love how it always smells like lavender and not like an overly crazy about of lavender. Just the right amount. When I have a migraine, what I do is, put my cute little sloth in the microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. It has beads in it, so it heats up like a heating pad. I rest him right on my forehead. It’s nice and warm and releases the smell of lavender which helps me fall right to sleep! Warmies don’t only help with just migraines! You can place it wherever you have cramps or pain!

RATING: 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

TUB TIME 🛁🛁🛁

It has been a rough two weeks in counting now, dealing with and recovering from the dreaded flu. It’s that time of the year. Everyone is getting sick. Your mom is getting sick, your dog is getting sick, your best friends uncles neighbor is getting sick. With the flu, it is very easy to become dehydrated. Not only was my body not getting enough fluids, but I could tell my skin was even taking a toll from me being so sick. I was feeling very dry and achy, which is why I decided to give myself a little spa night! A night full of moisturization! Everyone needs a little pick me up evening of self care after not feeling good for so long. I tried some new products in combination with some of my holy grails to help me feel a little more revived and recharged!

PRODUCTS & PRICES:

1. Dr. Teals Foaming Bath with Pure Epsom Salt Detoxify & Energize $15.18 (Walmart)

2. CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser $13.99 (Walgreens)

3. Soap & Glory Miracle Moisture Mask $4.00 (Walgreens)

4. Burt’s Bee’s Conditioning Lip Scrub $8.99 (Walgreens)

5. Vaseline Crème Brûlée .25 oz $1.99 (Walgreens)

REVIEWS & RATINGS:

1. Dr. Teals Foaming Bath with Pure Epsom Salt Detoxify & Energize:

I got this bubble bath as a gift a while ago and use it from time to time. I never was a big bath person. It has a very light, gentle smell and does a great job filling up your tub with lots of bubbles! I actually did feel less congested and a lot better after I got out of the bath. Whether it was just soaking in the warm water, or if the bubble bath helped, either way it did the trick. I even took a bath the following night because it helped so much and felt so good! Definitely a bath girl now!

RATING: 8/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2. CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser:

I’ve been using this face wash for months now. I absolutely love it! I use the one for normal to oily skin. It is a very gentle cleanser, gets all your makeup off, and makes you face feel squeaky clean afterwards. It is scent free, lightly foams, and keeps me breakout free! Highly recommend.

RATING: 10/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3. Soap & Glory Miracle Moisture Mask:

It was my first time using this mask and I am obsessed! Use this mask when you are feeling like you’re really lacking in the moisture department and by morning, your skin will feel smooth like a baby’s bottom. It’s a hydrogel sheet mask that you leave on for 30 minutes and then let the access product absorb into your skin over night. I couldn’t believe how soft my skin felt the next day! It was an amazing, huge, noticeable, drastic change! I went back to Walgreens the next day and bought two more!

RATING: 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4. Burt’s Bee’s Conditioning Lip Scrub:

This is a very gentle and unique lip scrub. It is a cream like consistency. Once you start to rub some of the scrub onto your lips, you can feel that it is a little gritty, but then it disintegrates into a smooth cream. Feels like vaseline on your lips after. You don’t need to rinse it off. I wish it was a little more rougher of a scrub. Also, I thought it was a little pricey for the small amount of product you get. Overall, I thought it did a decent job exfoliating and moisturizing.

RATING: 7/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5. Vaseline Crème Brûlée:

For some reason I was never a fan of vaseline. I just thought it looked gross. Like a giant tub of gunk! I found this cute little travel size, crème brûlée scented jar and decided to give it a try. Not only is it the most moisturizing lip product ever, but it smells good and gives an amazing shine!

RATING: 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

**SPAGHETTI SQUASH & GROUND TURKEY**

This is one of my favorite healthy meals to cook. I am a very picky eater so I was hesitant when I first tried spaghetti squash, but was amazed when it tasted just like pasta! My girl Shannon turned me on to it. Props to you Shannon. What’s also great about it is that you can get 4-5 meals out of it, depending on the size of the squash you get. This ones for the pasta lovers out there!

INGREDIENTS:

1 Spaghetti Squash 🍈

Tomato Sauce 🥫

Ground Turkey 🦃

Salt 🧂

Pepper 🧂

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Spray baking sheet with non stick cooking spray.

Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. You’ll need a real sharp knife and a strong man to help you with this.

Scrape out all the seeds and goopy stuff from the inside.

Paint around the outer rim of each side with vegetable oil.

Sprinkle on some salt and pepper.

Flip both halves over and lay the flat part down on the baking dish.

Bake for 30 minutes.

.......

While your spaghetti squash is baking, slowly cook some ground turkey in a pan on medium heat.

Chop the turkey up into very small pieces while it’s being cooked.

Once it is cooked, add your favorite tomato sauce right on top of the turkey and stir.

........

Let the spaghetti squash cool for 5 minutes.

Then scrape the whole inside of it with a fork.

It should easily break up into string like, thin noodles.

Add a heaping spoonful of your ground turkey and sauce right on top to each half.

You can eat it just like this! Using the spaghetti squash as your bowl!

Trust me, you will have plenty for left overs or to share!

BATHROOM DECOR 🧻 🧻🧻

Scrolling through Pinterest, which I do on a daily basis, I stumbled across this cute idea for some bathroom decor. I got inspiration from a photo of basically a pretty looking toilet that had 3 floating shelves above it. The shelves were decorated with some cute objects and handy bathroom essentials. I thought this would be a great way to spice up my bathroom since the walls just seemed so bare in there. I ordered the shelves online on amazon and had my dad help me install them. They weren’t too tricky! All we needed was a drill and a level. My dad is quite the handyman! I chose all the decor pieces mostly from, more Pinterest inspo and used a little bit of my own brain as well! Here is a photo of the final outcome!

***PESTO CHICKEN***

I decided to host a small dinner party this weekend and wanted to impress my friends with my new cooking skills. What could I make that was easy enough to do for about 10-15 people, (not so small dinner party), but also intriguing enough where it looks and tastes like I put in a lot of time and effort??? My pesto chicken recipe it is! It can be a little filling, so I paired it with some light buttered egg noodles and garlic bread😋

INGREDIENTS:

Boneless Chicken Breasts 🍗

Sliced Tomato’s 🍅

Shredded Mozzarella Cheese 🧀

Pesto Sauce 💚

Salt🧂

Pepper 🧂

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Grease the bottom of a baking dish.

Lay chicken breasts in baking dish and sprinkle them with some salt and pepper. I never measure with this recipe, so just kinda wing it!

Bake chicken breasts for 30 minutes.

Take them out of the oven and spread on top a thin layer of pesto sauce.

Then lay on top 2 slices of tomatoes and top with some mozzarella cheese. Enough to your liking.

Put the chicken back in the oven for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese has melted.

Serve with some garlic bread and buttered egg noddles if you’d like and volià!

REVIEWS & RATINGS:

1. Crest 3D White Charcoal Toothpaste:

LOVED this toothpaste! I instantly noticed my teeth looking whiter after just one use! Has a light, minty, refreshing taste. It comes out a gray color because of the charcoal in it. I was expecting it to be more black like those intense charcoal toothpastes I’ve seen before, but it still worked great.

RATING: 9/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2. Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Chamomile and Lavender:

I’ve used the Mario Badescu cucumber spray before, but this was the first time I tried the lavender scent. Smells amazing and relaxing! I like to use this one before bed.

RATING: 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3. Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Cucumber and Green Tea:

This is a product I’ve been using for a while now. I go through so many bottles of it! Just a few sprits and it gives my skin a refreshing, cooling, and energized feel! I like to use this spray in the morning to help wake me up or after I’ve gone tanning to cool my skin down.

RATING: 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4. The PORE fessional Pore Primer:

This is another repeat product that I’ve used before and LOVE. You can use this primer with or without makeup and you only need to use a little bit of it in your T zone. It fills in your pores and makes your foundation go on so smoothly.

RATING 9/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5. Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray:

First time using this setting spray. Jeffree Star swears by it, so I had to purchase it. Not gonna lie, I slept with my makeup on and in the morning my makeup was still flawless. My face makeup didn’t wear off at all! This product definitely lives up to its name.

RATING 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

6. Revlon Jumbo Waver:

Okay, so this is where my getting ready routine started getting complicated. I’ve heard nothing but great things about this waver, but I had a rough start trying to get it to work. I felt like it wasn’t getting hot enough and wasn’t making intense enough waves in my hair, even on the highest heat setting. You really need to clamp it down for like 10 seconds before moving down your hair to clamp it again. Took me about 35 minutes to do my whole head. Straightening and curling my hair takes about 20 minutes. It came out looking more crimped then waved. I did like the end result tho. My hair is naturally wavy, kind of how it turned out, but this waver made it look more tamed, uniformed, and not frizzy. I would definitely try using it again.

RATING: 7/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

***HEALTHY PANCAKES***

I make these for breakfast at least 3 times a week. They are so yummy, filling and healthy for you! If you know me, I’m not the best when it comes to cooking. But this recipe is so easy!

INGREDIENTS:

1 banana 🍌

1 egg 🥚

1 handful of blueberries 💙

I can’t believe it’s not butter spray 🧈

Syrup 🥞

DIRECTIONS:

Mash banana in a mixing bowl.

Whisk in egg.

Spray frying pan with non stick cooking spray.

On medium heat pour batter. I like to do 3 small pancakes at once. Makes 6 total.

Wait until pancakes start to get a little firm then add some blueberries right on top.

(If you mix the blueberries right into the batter, the pancakes don’t get firm. They get too soupy and you can’t flip them nicely.)

Flip pancakes when edges start to get golden brown.

Add a little spray butter and syrup of your choosing if you’d like.

I like Aunt Jemima syrup which is definitely not the healthiest option. But hey! I’m picky with my syrup!

Enjoy!!
