NuSkin Insta Glow 🌞

One of my friends on Facebook, Renee Perkins sells Nuskin products and I saw her post about this self tanner and just had to try it! I am a sucker for a nice tan! I have tried alot of self tanners in my day and I have to say I do really like this one! It doesn't give you an overwhelming amount of color it gives you a nice natural tan. I tested it on my legs first and liked what I saw so I did my whole body and it looks great! It didn't streak at all and my hands didn't turn brown after application, it washed off just fine without leaving leftover tanner on my hands. It does smell like self tanner but the odor is very low. You get instant color but over time it does get darker, then after your shower it evens out. This CAN be used on your face but mine has been whacky lately so I decided not to try that at this time, but I plan to.. I think I may mix it in with my moisturizer! What a good time to test it out too while being in quarantine! 

Left is before application. Right is right after application 

Here is the before application. Then after a shower 

I was glad I bought this product when I did. Your probably thinking what's the point of doing that right now when your stuck inside! well...I wanted to test this out before we went back into the real world for one, and two who doesn't get instantly happy with a nice tan?? Right now it was just what I needed and made me more excited for summer! Renee does an excellent job posting on the products she sells including this one I tagged her in this post so you will be able to navigate your way to her to BUY THIS! 

Drinking, Eating, and Redecorating!

I've just been thinking of things to do and cook during this time! Hope you are all doing well and enjoy reading what I've been up to! Drinking, eating, and redecorating!

Kettle One with Sprite 0

My friend Ashley told me about this vodka and I am so glad she did. Its extremely refreshing!  We went through one of these very quickly. We mixed with sprite 0. You should do a splash of tropical OJ too if your feeling up for that! 

Ghetto Sangria 

We have been drinking this alot! It's good and we feel like we are on vacation! Which I could use right about now!!

🍷 Fill glass with ice 

🍷 Red Blend Wine (leave a little room at the top)

🍷 Splash of 0 sugar lemonade I use Minute Maid Pink

🍷 Splash of seltzer water (I used raspberry lemon) but you can use plain 

🍷 Squeeze a lemon slice and drop it in the glass 

Chicken Noodle Casserole 

Made a bunch and it was good! You make a nice white sauce so there is no need for canned soup! You can add any veggies you want. I did peas & mushrooms

6 oz egg noodles (half the bag)

1 tbsp butter

1 medium onion 

1 tbsp flour

1 3/4 cups of fat free chicken broth

1 cup of milk

1 cup frozen peas

10oz sliced mushrooms

1 cup of white cheddar cheese

shredded chicken (I used rotisseries)

2 tbsp bread crumbs 

2 tbsp parm cheese 

preheat oven to 375 spray 9x12 casserole dish 

Cook noodles. Set aside. Melt butter in a deep skillet and add onions and cook until soft. Add flour and a pinch of salt stir. Slowly wisk in broth until combined, increase heat and whisk add milk and bring to boil. Add peas salt pepper to taste and simmer until the sauce thickens. Add chicken stir. Remove from heat and add 1 cup of cheddar cheese and mix until it melts. Add noodles mix it up and pour into casserole dish. Sprinkle the bread crumbs and parm cheese all over the top Bake for 25 min. 

My Go-To Lunch 

I've literally been eating this everyday. Looks like shit but it tastes so good. I make some tuna with mayo, (you can do chicken salad or plain chicken cut up) cut up bread and butter pickles S&P mix it all up. Lay down some salad in a bowl, and I top it with Mitchell's salsa it's the best hands down! Great with tortilla chips and on salad! Then I drizzle some Ken's Italian dressing over the top! I think that day I added some leftover quinoa

What are you doing to keep yourself busy these days?

Crazy times!

How is everyone doing during this crazy time? I hope you are all safe and staying home as much as you can! I am..the only place I will go is the grocery store when needed and now that is leaving me feeling anxious when I do go. I used to not mind going to the store but now watching everyone walk around with gloves and masks is very unsettling to me.  I am careful of course but I have bought enough food to last so I am not going a lot. CRAZY to think this is the new normal right now!!

 I am still working and remotely. So my days consist of sitting in my kitchen with my laptop and monitor. Thankfully I have some funny coworkers to video chat with! Derrick set up his stuff upstairs so we have some separate work spaces. I try to take my hour break to step away. When the weather is nice I will go outside or I will go for a drive to clear my head a bit. 

I am A SOLID 7 right now lol

This week I really started to feel not normal and stir crazy! I’m not complaining because we are safer at home but it’s totally been an adjustment for me because I am not a home body. I enjoy going out for dinner and drinks and popping into TJ Maxx!!! Man I miss that place! I miss seeing my friends and hanging out having fun! Derricks fun but I miss my people! 😂

I did recently purchase an adult coloring book! I’ve been loving that a lot!

 LINK TO PURCHASE IS HERE

I am getting really sick of TV even though I've watched some series and movies but there's only so much you can watch. The other night I was thinking of other things I can do to keep myself busy....

Here's what I came up with 

💡Keep checking in with family and friends

💡Catch up with someone I haven't spoken to in a while - so if you get a random text from me you know why!! 😂

💡Compliment more people and make them feel good

💡Be better about cleaning

💡Read a few books - to love and to let go I’m almost done with and it’s really good! I think I am going to buy the Jessica Simpson book next! 

💡Less news, more music - we turned on YouTube Saturday night and listened to music from early 2000s! We had a lot of fun doing that and told each other funny stories from our past all night  

💡Teach myself something new (not sure what yet)

💡Try to come up with new things to cook that are healthy - I tried a family recipe I got from my Jamaican side! It was good! 

💡Support local businesses as best I can - I recently left my flower face on my doorstep and Flouish Events and Design came and filled it! I’ve done it 2x so far! 

💡Do at home workouts daily 

💡Get rid of some clothes- if you need anything let me know!! 

💡Remain positive- hard when things keep getting worse and worse!

💡Redecorate my place with stuff I already have! (Which is a lot) 

💡Start thinking about what I want to do for a wedding LOL 

I would love to hear from you about what your doing! Any suggestions for me?
