Indulge a little...

Sometime's I get the strongest craving for chocolate. Then again, what girl doesn't? It seems like whenever I need something sweet, I have nothing in my apartment. I am currently in the predicament and it is the worst. However, I do have all of the ingredients for puppy chow! (Or muddy buddies).  

This is something that I have been making for years. Some people tend to complicate the recipe by adding butter and other things. It's actually super simple to make with only 4 ingredients. Whenever someone asks me to bring a dessert, this is my go to. 

When I make this for myself, I have to remember not to eat the entire thing! But half of the fun is actually making it! With school in full swing things get stressful, and I constantly have to do things that are completely unrelated to classes and 100% for myself. So why not indulge a little?..

What you'll need:

9 cups of rice chex cereal

1 cup of milk chocolate chips

1/2 cup of peanut butter

2 cups of powered sugar

What to do:

Melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter together until it is a smooth consistency

Combine the mixture with the chex and stir until the cereal is covered

Split into large platic baggies and add powered sugar

SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE! until everything is evenly coated

Simple!

Feel free to ask me anything!

Meet Kitty

Go ahead, call me the crazy cat lady. It's honestly a compliment. There is nothing that I love more than a snuggly little cat. I have a total of 4 lovely little ladies, but only one holds my entire heart. 

When I was searching for an apartment, my one top priority was that they must allow pets. Worth it. 

I found this kitten sitting under a plastic chair, alone, at the animal shelter. I immediately scooped her up and she had to be mine. A day later, my mom and I picked her up and headed home. The entire car ride she sat in my lap, nudging my face and purring like crazy. The little bug completely stole my heart. 

Kitty is such a princess. She has certainly gotten used to being an only cat. Whenever I have to take her home she refuses to associate with anyone. She hisses at the other cats and hides from even me. I have to turn my bedroom into her own personal suite. Whenever we are at my apartment, she is the friendliest and most loving cat ever. She will sit on my lap for hours, play with absolutely everything, and sneak her way under my covers at night.

Kitty will sit with me while I do homework. She will sit on my pile of towels while I shower. She joins me for every single nap. Kitty stands by the door when I have to leave, just to make me feel guilty, and looks like she hasn't moved when I get back. She will let me cry for hours without leaving my side, not to mention gives the cutest kisses. 

One day, Kitty will rule the world.

Just look at that face.

Feel free to ask me anything!!

Spring Break

Hey y'all!

For many students, spring break is right around the corner. I cannot wait any longer to get a week away from school, snow, and stress! My spring break will be spent on the beach getting a golden tan and sipping on a cocktail. 

I am no stranger to the sun. For years, I spent everyday taking a trip to a tanning bed, and had no problem avoiding sunburn. I also spent several months working for a tanning salon, giving me amazing knowledge for safe and effective results. 

Within the recent months, I stopped tanning. I realized how important it is to protect your skin and the damage from it will certainly show with age. However, with a week in the sun coming my way, I have decided to prep my skin to avoid burning. 

I have decided to share some of my favorite indoor tanning lotions with you.

1.

Girlfriend Sexy: Limited Edition

I recently bought this lotion and within 1 use could see an amazing difference in color. This is a bronzing lotion so you are going to see an instant boost in color. 

I usually prefer a lotion without any bronzer in it, but this one is amazing. It leaves my skin super soft and gives it a glow. This gives me great color and limits the amount of time spent in the tanning bed. 

2.

Phoenician:

This lotion is great because there is zero bronzer. That means that your skin is going to tan to its natural ability. This lotion contains silicone which will leave your skin feelings like silk. This is my usual go-to lotion. Even though it is expensive, the lotion seems to last a long time. A little goes a long way.

3.

Conceited:

For people that are all about the smell of a lotion, this one is amazing. It has a perfume scent that helps eliminate that after-tan smell. It's also a bronzer, so once again you see an instant boost in color. This one also has an air-brush finish that will reduce the appearance of imperfections.

4.

Clearly Obsessed:

This is a facial lotion. Some people have difficulties tanning their face. If you are prone to breakouts you might want to check out a facial lotion. This lotion is designed specifically for your face. It is gentle on the skin but produces darker results. This is also good for any trouble areas you may have anywhere on your body. For your face you only need a tiny amount so this lotion lasts forever.

HINT:

Color Maximizer:

For an extra boost of color instantly, try pairing your lotion with a primer. This is for sunless, however, if you use this under your regular lotion you can take your color to the next level. This primes your skin, hydrating it, allowing it to soak up ample rays!

What to expect...

Hey Y'all!

How about we get to know me!

I am currently a junior in college studying Law and Society. I live with my cat, Kitty, and wouldn't even consider having a roommate. I have messy tendencies and my lazy days are spent taking long naps with Kitty and watching Netflix. I am a firm believer in shopping and Starbucks as a form of therapy. I accept forms of affection through a venti cinnamon dolce latte, colored daisies, and chicken nuggets. I would buy everything Lilly Pulitzer and anything you can monogram. Every chance for the bubbliest of bubble baths, I take it. Leggings over jeans, no question. I would never leave my house without my phone. I binge on Pinterest and Twitter, scrolling through like it is the most intense book I have ever read. I am an expert on all things Vampire Diaries and The Bachelor. There is nothing that a large glass, or bottle, of wine and a night with the girls can't fix. Simple.

Feel free to ask me anything at anytime!!
