Oh Honey

Recently I went to a local pet store to get some natural pet food. We have a long hair chihuahua and a new puppy German Shepard. As I approached the check out line I noticed a huge jar oft beautiful, delicious honey. Not just any honey, natural honey. I bought it and was very happy the jar was only $10.
The benefits of honey are endless from the inside out. Honey can help muscles before, during and after exercise. Honey can enhance sexual libido( hooray) lol. It is perfect for the skin specially my worse nightmare acne scars. Here is a few recipes made with honey of course. For acne scars 2 tbs of honey and 2 tbs of lemon can clear up the skin. Lemons have vitamin c which is very good for the skin. 2 tbs of honey and 1 tbs of baking soda creates a paste to exfoliate your skin. Do it twice a week. 2 tbs of honey and tbs of olive oil put the mixture on your face for three minutes. Get a hot steamy towel and let it rest on your face. The steam will remove scaring , then wash your face. Pour half a cup of honey in the blender with a cucumber blend together really well. Cucumber is very good to tighten the pores. Apply on the face for a couple if minutes then clean the face with a wash cloth. These can be done daily except the exfoliant.

Homeschooling finally a dream come true.

Ever since our daughter was 2 yrs old I've been buying her activities books and crayons. I even got her a desk. Almost every afternoon we sat down and sang out abc's we read stories and she did some coloring And painting. I was once reading an article about homeschooling and how these children always scored higher on tests that the children that actually where in school. I asked my husband about homeschooling our daughter. He answered with a no it is too hard to do it. I kept buying books and doing mini lessons at home. Last year my husband got deployed to Irak and I went to Florida with the children. We stood at my moms house. My daughter started pre K. Omg it broke my heart that rainy day that I left my beloved daughter in a tiny yellow school. I saw the teacher yelling at the children. That really bothered me, but at the same time I wanted her to learn and the big word " socialized ". after my husband got back, we came back to our duty station. It was going to be her second school only in pre k. Here it was worse. Teachers seem impatient and rude. Kids were bullies and some not even old enough to defend themselves. After seeing so many things, I felt that my calling got stronger And I decided to google homeschooling. I pray and still praying about it. So far I've gain some knowledge and are getting ready to begin in September. The curriculum that I would love to try Heart of Dakota with Little hearts for his glory. Will give a complete review after I order it. Out 16 month old son will also be part of our homeschooling. Thank God for giving me a supporting husband. I Will keep praying so that God gives us the wisdom to do it. I want to leave the legacy to our children to follow the lord.

My obsession with Chipotle's Mexican Grill during my husband deployment

During my husband's last deployment to Irak,I decided to go and stay with my mom and sister in Orlando, Florida. During our stayed there my sister introduced me to a restaurant called Chipotle's Mexican Grill,I was instantly in  love with the food. I became a regular at the restaurant that I knew almost everybody.I know crazy! After about four months we get the amazing news that the deployment got cut short and the guys were heading back.Forget Chipotle, my hubby is coming home! was, what I was thinking all the time.When my hubby got back,we went to the restaurant and my husband loved it. I knew that he was going to get hooked on it like I did. Since my husband is into playing baseball and eating healthy and weights and all of that,he loved it. After the holidays it was our time to head back home,after searching for my closest location I got the following message "We are sorry no Chipole in your area search for another city or MOVE!" I was devastated, I didn't know to either laugh,cry,get angry or simply close my mac book. I was thinking to myself is ok,screw you,you'll be the one missing me,lol. After heading back home I did some research and duplicate it at home.yay for me! Now four months later I do what I call "Chipotleada Night" and here is my recent picture of my version of Barbacoa beef with white rice bowl.Like my dearest Julia Child used to say "Bon Appetit"

Smokey eyes with Wet n wild Greed Palette

Hello Everyone this is my very first makeup entry.I'm not a pro I just love makeup and whenever I get a chance I love to put on some eye shadow.As usual it is very important to start with a good primer so that the makeup in your eyes can last all day.For this look I used the eyeshadow palette from Wet n Wild called Greed.I love Wet n Wild cosmetics,they are very affordable and the new eyeshadows are really pretty and pigmented.The palette has 6 eyeshadows one side is matte the other is shimmer. the right side has a highlighter a medium shade for the lid and a darker shade for the outer corner of the eye.The palette has one highlighter,two peachy tones(one shimmer one matte) two greys one lighter one sort of like a charcoal both in shimmer and one black in matte.and here is a picture of the look that I did with this palette.


Overall this look is very easy for a beginner like me.the color on the brow bone is the highlighter and is the lightest color the second one is the light silver one and the all lid color is the black one.
please excuse my eyebrows,I try my best to make them look equal but somehow the left one is thicker than the right one.lol
Is a bit hard for me to really show my eyeshadow because I have hooded eyes,but I'm practicing more and more everyday to make it look better.thanks all for reading my blog!


the jumper simplicity 5317


This jumper I made it very quick, instead of flannel I used corduroy a beautiful awl fabric that my little one felt in love with.I made it in a size 4 it fit perfectly.In my opinion is a good project for beginner to intermediate.

This was the facings 


this was the final garment,it fit really good.I would make it again if I have time.
