Come Sail Away

Hey everybody!

Today's outfit is very airy and casual. The main piece is this gray cotton dress that allows for lots of creativity with the accessories. I added this lovely nautical scarf for some extra pizzaz. I scored both the dress and scarf during some awesome Fourth of July sales! As for the rest of the accessories, I kept them neutral with my tan shoes and satchel, as well as a dark brown rosary bracelet.







I hope you enjoyed!

Lapis Lazuli Polka Dots

Hi everybody!

Today's outfit is cute and casual for a summer day out. I even got a compliment on it today! It's far too hot out to meander about in anything other than shorts or skirts. I found this lovely statement skirt on sale at J Crew. It has a bright, bold pattern that swishes about as I walk. Since it's so eye-catching, the rest of the outfit is rather complimentary with a plain white tee, and neutral accessories.







I hope you enjoyed!

New Hair!

Hey everybody!

Today I got a drastic haircut! It's a change I've been meaning to make for a while now. I decided to donate my hair, so that I couldn't chicken out at the last minute. I managed to donate 14 inches to Locks of Love! It's a very weird feeling suddenly getting rid of so much hair. My head feels lighter, my hair feels healthier, and my hair hasn't gotten caught on anything anymore. My new hairdo should also be easier to maintain. I'm so happy with my new short hair!





Hope you enjoyed!

Party Time!

Hi everybody!

Yesterday I attended my friend Armando's sixteenth birthday party. It was a good time! There was good food, fun games, and I got to meet lots of cool new people. A karaoke machine was even brought out, but only a few brace souls dared to belt out cheesy love songs. As for my outfit, I chose items that are cute, but still comfy and breathable. The last few days in San Antonio have been hot, and I didn't want to sweat buckets. Both the cream top and navy skirt are swishy and light.

Enchantment Under the Sea

Hey everybody!

Today's outfit is nautical themed and also Fourth of July appropriate. My white tee is adorned with a twin image of seahorses, and my hair band also has teeny tiny seahorses on it. Seahorses are pretty interesting little critters. My navy shoes go along with the marine theme, as they have anchors stitched onto the front. I curled my hair into mermaid waves because the Texas weather hasn't been too hot and I can leave my hair down for most of the day.









Hope you enjoyed!

Every Breath You Take

Hey everybody!

The highlight of today's post is definitely my rocking new tee featuring The Police! I'm a fan of their music, they're one of my favorite new wave groups. Thus, when I spotted this gem at Forever 21, I instantly had to have it! I played up the red accent in the shirt by throwing on some red shorts and a headband to match. I kept all other accessories rather neutral.






I hope you enjoyed!

Apple Crisp in a Jar

Hi everybody!

I'm very excited for my first culinary blog post! I recently came across an amazing recipe for apple crisp. It's delicious, doesn't require very many ingredients, and can be done in a microwave!


To start off, you'll need one peeled apple, as shown.


You'll also need the following ingredients, along with a jar (not shown)



The exact measurements are as follows (makes one serving)
For the apple filling:
1 apple, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon of white granulated sugar mixed with a dash of cinnamon

For the crisp:
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoons instant oatmeal
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar (I used powdered instead, because I don't have brown)

Dice your apple into small chunks.

Throw your diced apple into your jar along with the tablespoon of cinnamon sugar mix.

Heat up the ingredients for the crisp in a microwave on high for twenty seconds. Then mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed. The consistency should be rather thick, and not runny.

Place the crisp mixture on top of the apples, and press down gently to smooth out the surface. Place your jar in the microwave and heat on high for 1-2 minutes. Keep an eye on the jar, and take it out if it starts to bubble. Also, be extremely careful because the jar will get very hot.

Done! You've successfully created a miniature apple crisp in a jar! Yum! The best part about creating a mini dessert in a jar is that you can throw on the lid for a treat on-the-go.

I hope you enjoyed the recipe! I'm looking forward to other quick and easy desserts. Until next time,
