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.

my embroidery machine janome 200E

I was looking for an embroidery machine for a while,but I had no clue how to do embroidery. I told my hubby and he said to me,just to make sure that I  use it. Well i decided to get one,something not to expensive. I got the janome 200E.beautiful machine,very basic,but I love it.I'm still learning about stabilizers and all that deal that comes with embroidery.

I got the machine for $500,it was the same everywhere.I get to upload free embroidery designs online and upload it to the machine with a thumb drive.I had tons of difficulties,trying to find out the zip and un zip thing. but thank God for the prayers and many hrs oh and patience that took for me to figure out this embroidery.the machine comes with some designs and 3 alphabets.

the machine at work.
