De-potting Eyeshadows

May 9, 2014 Leave a Comment

Happy Friday lover!! I am a huge, huge make-up loving girl, and I think eye shadows are my weakness. Maybe it’s because I love the endless possibilities you have to get creative with your shadows or maybe it’s the fact that there are so many colors! I am specifically a fan of eye shadow palettes because I find that individual shadows can cause more clutter and are harder to reach for.

In the first picture above are all my MAC eye shadows which I wanted to de-pot. When you de-pot your shadows it means to take the actual pan (which holds the product) out of its’ original packaging. Now to see a full tutorial on how to do this, you can easily search on YouTube and a bunch of videos will appear. I did this and only watched 2 videos, but both used the same technique. In the videos they made this process look very simple, but let me warn you, it is far from simple!

You will need: wax paper, any hair straightening iron, a knife, an empty magnetic palette, and sticky labels (this is optional). As you see in the last photo above, you need to heat up your shadow only for a few seconds in order for the pan to pop out easier. There is little room to poke your knife, which unfortunately caused me to totally ruin my Carbon (black) eye shadow. Lesson learned!

I am really happy with the finished project because now it will be a lot easier to use my shadows! Please let me know if you have any tricks to de-pot your shadows in an easier way. I hope you all have an amazing weekend 🙂

All my love,

Jessy

Love Shoes

Hey lover! I absolutely love these pumps. I find them to be very elegant and classic, yet they are a twist from the typical black stiletto. The black and white pattern with a satin finish is gorgeous. The sharp black point and thin heel add just a dash of perfection. Total bonus is that they are comfortable! I was luckily gifted these by boyfriends’ sweet parents! Momma Viv knows me very well 🙂

I wore this to the office and felt effortless while still being “put together”. A black and white color palette doesn’t exactly scream spring or summer. However these two together are timeless; considered essential in a conservative office.

I hope you all have an amazing day. Lately I have heard of so many troubling stories and news that really deserve my prayers. I will keep them all in my special intentions today.

All my love,

Jessy

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

May 5, 2014 Leave a Comment

Hi my loveys! Happy Cinco de Mayo or Happy Monday! I am so sad I don’t have pictures for you today. I have missed doing my regular blogging posts, a lot. Life has been very busy.

Just to give a little recap- I worked all seven days this week and of each day, I worked a minimum of seven hours. I am so grateful for both my jobs, but I can’t wait to take my next pictures for you (hopefully today!).

Tonight, I will be celebrating with my boyfriend, one of my best friends, her sister, and both their boyfriends. We are enjoying homemade queso dip, tacos, and delicious skinny margaritas. Friends, I cannot wait- much needed down time!

Something totally random: I wanted to share with you my current reading list-

The Happiness Project
The Fault in our Stars
The Hunger Games

If you have a favorite from the above 3, I’d love to hear your thoughts! I will definitely be sharing mine, once I am done with them.

All my love,

Jessy

Bandana Blues

Outfit Details: T-shirt- Target, Shorts- Ann Taylor Loft, Shoes- Payless Shoes, Bandana- Borrowed from my momma, Watch- Michael Kors, Bracelets- J. Crew Factory and Kate Spade Outlet

Hi lover! This is a quick and laid back outfit that I put together to run some errands with my boyfriend. I would totally use this for a picnic, some park play, or just to hang out. Where I live, it is already hot! It’s not quite summer hot, but trust me shorts are the best option for anything during the day.

I’ve been wearing this cute bandana because I was recently inspired by a retro-style bikini I purchased. I absolutely love vintage inspiration and the style of a high wasted bikini, some cat-eye liner, and a red bandana :).

I hope you have a wonderful day my loveys!

All my love,

Jessica

BJ’s Stuffed Pepper Bowls

April 30, 2014 Leave a Comment

Happy Wednesday lover! Last night BJ (nickname for when Bob & I combine forces to cook a delicious meal) made stuffed bell peppers. This came out delicious and was very simple to prepare and cook!

Ingredients used:

-1 pack of Ground Beef (or Turkey Ground Beef)

-All Purpose Seasoning (or any seasoning of your preference)

-Diced tomatoes and diced chives

-Quinoa or rice

-Black beans

-Cheese of your preference (we used shredded mozzarella and cheddar)

Steps:

Begin by cooking your ground beef. We used a little all purpose seasoning, along with diced tomatoes and chives to fully cook the beef.

Next prepare your peppers by removing all seeds and stuffing. You want to also pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees F. We also cooked a can of black beans.

Once all your items have been cooked and prepped, just start layering. On a flat baking pan, place your bell peppers. We decided to layer in the following order: black beans, quinoa, ground beef, and cheese. Place in your oven for about ten minutes or until cheese is melted.

Then you can serve on their own, with a side salad, or as we did, with some quinoa. Hope you enjoy!

All my love,

Jessica
