Wrap it up...a recipe!

So, my co-workers and I loooooovvveeeee when the Taste of Food Lion Tour comes to the store. They come with coupons, recipes and whole lot of good cooking. Last time they came, one of the company's executive chefs gave me a simple recipe...

a bag of pre-washed Caesar Salad mix in the bag and sliced pepperoni tossed together.

I can't tell how many time my children have requested, "Salad and Pepa-ronis, Mommy..."

This time, one of the company's nutritionist's made a simple and yummy wrap:

She used:

Whole-wheat tortilla wrap( big ones, like for burritos)

Hidden Valley Spicy Ranch Dressing

Sliced Turkey

Sliced Pepperoni

Spring Mix Lettuce

Chopped Red Onions

Sliced Roma Tomatoes

Sliced Provolone Cheese

All wrapped up and soooo good!!!

I'm love with making my own wraps now. :)

I love...

Today I love my....Essence of Beauty Soy Lotion Candles!!!

I received two small ones for a Christmas present and they so wonderful. First, they burn clean, no soot, then they smell really great really fast, and THEN you got a moisturizing oil because its a lotion candle. Now, I'm a chicken, so I'm afraid to put it on me because its hot( I just saw a vacant house in flames in my neighborhood last week...ugh!) but if anyone gets one and uses it for lotion purposes, let me know!!!

Looking Back....Resolutions of 2007

I'm having the hardest time coming up with some new Fashion and Beauty Resolutions for 2008. Does that mean something? Anyway...I thought I would look back to see what I have accomplished.

Jamie's Fashion and Beauty Resolutions 2007....

1) Step up the work attire fashion game- Well, I ended up leaving the library and started to work for the Le Lion which requires a semi uniform. Hell, I like wearing a uniform because I don't a fashion headache in the mornings. Plus we can wear what ever accessories, so I have fun doing that and found an elated love for bangles and bracelets.

My secret to getting them on my wide hands...lotion or baby oil slip them right on. Apply it on you hands before putting them on.:)

2)Continue to maintain healthy hair-I don't know how "healthy" my hair really is under this weave( lol) but I've rocking the wild curly hair look since this summer. My co-worker always tells me,"It's so you and your personality..."

3)Step up the shoe game for the winter-Did that...bought a serious amount of flats this winter and fall...

4)Indulge in more pedicures-Uh...not successful. I have no patience in a nail salon or at home. So I keep them lotioned and the nails painted. This will be a renewal resolutions.

5) Buy new pillows and new satin pillowcases- done and done!

6)Seek out and use more natural and organic products-My store has a really great but small organic and natural section that I love to pass through.

7)Find the perfect: shimmery peach l/g, nude l/g, brow pencil or powder, blackest black mascara.- I found the brow pencil and black mascara( Milani and Loreal's HIP)

8)Wear more fun jewelry- three words: This N'That in the 'Burg on Pine Street!

9) Buy more pretty dresses-two words: Simply Fashions in the 'Burg on Pine Street!! The have the best arsenal of cheap big girl dresses and other fabu for a big booty diva. I can go in there with $50 and have a new wardrobe.

10)Buy a new robe and slippers- Slippers yes, Robe no.

11)Find a new great hair color-I'll admit, I'm chicken when it comes to hair color. I'm just comfortable in my own shade, so I'll leave it at that.

12)Start new collections- Well, my perfume collection has gotten quite large.

13) Learn How to:Contour the face, apply lashes, use liquid eyeliner, use concealer-Check on liquid eyeliner and concealer.

14)Collect more fashion books-I can't remember what books I got. Stop! I got that Rachel Zoe book which is a fun read.

I'll work on the resolutions for 2008 tonight...:)

Love ya'll

Hanging in there...

Hey folks!

I'm so glad to be in the blogging spirit! Of course, you know my sad ass story(Computer is @ Momma's and I won't pay for Internet @ my house...), so I try to get on here as much as I can. If I don't, I won't know what's going on in the world. Can't depend on Union and Spartanburg to keep me updated... So Here's what's poppin':

-Every time I look at my Tarte We Wish You Wealth Palette, I smile:)!!!!I love it so much. Thanks Candace!!!

-My car is fixed so that's buying me some time til' I get my income tax. It's not leaking anything and seems to be riding well. I'm broke but I'm riding. You can't do anything down here in the country without a car. Including getting to work and the occasional drive to the 'burg( if you don't work there, already)

-Let me tell ya'll something. Don't ever underestimate people who work in grocery stores/supermarket. This has been one the hardest jobs. But I don't have a bad day. Well, except when I came to work yesterday and the DSD printer was broke. That's screwed me up all morning.

-I'm seriously addicted to McDonald's Hazelnut Ice Coffee and McDonald's Cinnamelts. I get the same order every morning. It's like 4.00 a day, 5 days a week. And I complain about being broke. ha!

-It seems that since I turned 30, all of the cuties that I meet are married. Or separated from the wife. Or complain about paying child support( you know I don't play that). Or just ain't about sh*t. And none of them believe that I'm 30. Now when I was 29, it was believable.

-I miss my friends. My real friends. They know who they are.:)

-I need a vacation.

-I keep missing all of my TV shows.The Game,Keyshia Cole, even I Love NY. I fall asleep about 8:30 EVERY night. I'm seriously busted when I get home.

-I will give ya'll My Christmas wishlist this weekend....

-So far, for Christmas, I got a Old Navy Gift Card and and TV stand for my big ass TV.And I haven't put it together and the TV is still on the floor. My kids thinks it a toy and sit there little cars on it. Maybe if I didn't go to sleep at 8:30pm I could get somethings done!!!

Love yall!!

Off to pick up the bams...:)
