I get headaches very easily from being around a person who is wearing a nauseating perfume. During the Sephora Freinds and Family sale I decided to order Taylor Swift's perfume and give it a whirl. For some reason, I just had a feeling that she had good taste in perfume. As opposed to other celebrities who I feel like their perfume's are probably not my taste. For example, I feel like Jennifer Aniston's perfume (which I have not smelled) would be too "old" for me. I like youthful perfumes. Not too sweet and candy-ish but still YOUNG. Last thing I want to smell like is an old woman! (not that Jennifer Aniston is old)Also Mariah Carey, I would be hesitant to try hers. She seems like a bit of a wild card. Can't trust her taste in perfume. But Taylor Swift seems trustworthy in the perfume department!<br />
<br />
Here is a list of other perfumes I like to give you an idea of my taste in scents:<br />
Donna Karen SUMMER<br />
Armani Mania Summer<br />
Paris Hilton's first perfume "Paris Hilton"<br />
<br />
These are my most worn pefumes.<br />
<br />
One perfume I cannot STAND is CHANEL. I love me some Chanel but good god that perfume is aweful. <br />
<br />
If I were to describe WONDERSTRUCK, I would say there is definitely a hint of vanilla in there. I normally shy away from Vanilla scents because they bore me. This one, like I said has a HINT. The rest is a bit floraly with youthfullness and sophistication. It's not annoying, but not serious. It's very warm and cozy. Kind of Christmas-y to me for some reason. But light at the same time. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Q7UxuYxE_IpD_kk_L3mEs8xgEq5tQj4pHksyXigL2K5WEtvXD8wYZOHNtycbX-i-cG5bNu7uXrbxQc-yoOo4UPFClzyH0ouWRPKSXmhgnYOIP__6WENYY9_AhUOWJpnIoFk7JTOXvfI/s1600/taylor-swift-wonderstruck-fragrance-ad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Q7UxuYxE_IpD_kk_L3mEs8xgEq5tQj4pHksyXigL2K5WEtvXD8wYZOHNtycbX-i-cG5bNu7uXrbxQc-yoOo4UPFClzyH0ouWRPKSXmhgnYOIP__6WENYY9_AhUOWJpnIoFk7JTOXvfI/s400/taylor-swift-wonderstruck-fragrance-ad.jpg" /></a></div>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16921295916805840576noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118839924191902945.post-52254230697257859772011-11-03T22:54:00.001-07:002011-11-03T23:20:03.867-07:00I read this comment on a website and it made me laugh...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnKMTCUK6bXSWfiUidQcMYITCoQz-4Eaa2FvGv7JW-dZ96X2MVjkkmOKtN9uRn6K34mQcE4AtvXHqelL3rxmBnFi4zmIyC65KcMptREm58M2qS2tMMaYJMSUCV2n3g8_qBaEKnxTilX6U/s1600/2009-12-10_1720.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="302" width="332" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnKMTCUK6bXSWfiUidQcMYITCoQz-4Eaa2FvGv7JW-dZ96X2MVjkkmOKtN9uRn6K34mQcE4AtvXHqelL3rxmBnFi4zmIyC65KcMptREm58M2qS2tMMaYJMSUCV2n3g8_qBaEKnxTilX6U/s400/2009-12-10_1720.png" /></a></div><br />
The article was about what to do on a first date...<br />
<br />
Climb the highest tree you can find together and compile photo evidence of your trip to the top. <br />
<br />
While already out, randomly propose going into a bookstore and slipping dirty notes into books for new readers.<br />
<br />
Dress up as lame superheroes and stop at least one petty crime “ie. jaywalking, littering….”<br />
<br />
Build forts out of furniture and blankets, and wage war with paper airplanes.<br />
<br />
Try and visit as many people as you can in one night, and turn as many things inside their apartment upside down as you can, without them noticing.<br />
<br />
Pack a bag for the weekend with seasonable clothes and supplies for two days. Get tickets on standby for the next flight to the first place that intrigues you and stay there for the weekend.<br />
<br />
Write a short story together at a table outside of a Starbucks. As for help from other patrons when you get stuck.<br />
<br />
Spend the day dressed to impress test-driving super expensive sports cars.<br />
<br />
Do the lamest tourist thing in your area that you have both secretly wanted to do forever. Have an unabashed good time. Document with photo evidence.<br />
<br />
Talk your way into getting the chef at your favorite restaurant to create a meal that's complete unique just for the two of you. <br />
<br />
Improvise short dramas in front of security cameras. <br />
<br />
Wake up at midnight. Drive all night to the closest beach and watch the sunrise to begin your weekend down the shore. Sleep all day, party all night. <br />
<br />
Meet up in a city that neither of you have been to and check in the same hotel as a married couple using fake names. Make up a backstory about how you met and what you're there for an see how well you can improvise funny stories and anecdotes while socializing with complete strangers. <br />
<br />
Go to a minor league baseball game under the stars. Tell each other stories about how bad you are at athletics. Randomly cheer for both teams. Eat lots of Cracker Jacks.<br />
<br />
Buy some sidewalk chalk and walk around the city writing fortune cookie messages on the ground. <br />
<br />
Rent a bad 70's kung fu movie. Turn the volume all the way down and make up your own script as it plays.<br />

I know some people are disappointed because they ONLY want drawing videos... but I love art in many forms. Drawing just happens to be one of them. I will always be doing drawing videos but it's nice to change it up every so often! Eventually I also want to do painting videos too! <br />
<br />
So here is the makeup look I did on Tori as a "Mystic Mermaid". Took me a long time because I didn't really plan out what I wanted to do, I just played it by ear. I used mostly my new BH Cosmetics palette. I love it! So pigmented! Although, I feel like I'm going to run out of certain colors very quickly. Hope you guys enjoy! :-)<br />

Mine are at least 7 years old and so I thought it was time for an upgrade. I didn't want to spend tons of money on designer pants because they're for work and they're gonna get dirty. But at the same time I wanted something cute that I could wear on a regular basis if I felt like it! Being a 6 ft tall girl has more downsides that it has upsides!! One of them being, it is extremely hard to find pants that are long enough for me, or just fit me right! <a href="http://store.alloy.com/frontpage.do?commTrack=shopChannelNowFromAlloy&incmpid=alloymediaAlloyshop">Alloy.com</a> offers 37 inch inseams for most of their pants and jeans. It is amazing! I hope they never get rid of that option! I had purchased two pairs of pants from Alloy years before and I still love them for not only their long length but their comfiness and style!! So I decided to go on alloy.com and see if I could find a good pair of work pants there. I ended up with 3 pairs of pants in my shopping cart. One pair of dark blue skinny jeans, one pair of black pants for work, and one pair of velour sweat pants... all 37 inch inseams! I have a tendency to buy my pants too big all the time so I went for a size 7 this time to make sure they wouldn't get too loose throughout the day like most of my other pants. I was worried that I wouldn't fit into a size 7 but I received them in the mail yesterday and all three pairs fit like a glove!! I am so happy I ended up ordering these pants from Alloy! If you are a tall girl like me... do yourself a favor and buy your pants there. Inexpensive, decent quality, and long as hell!!!! Oh and not to mention CUTE.<br />

These are the "Twill Flap Bootcut Black" Pants. Although, they look much more like bell-bottoms than bootcut to me. =-| I still love 'em! They are PERFECT for my job. <br />

And lastly, these are the "Velour Drawstrong Pant Black". I bought these in a medium. Anyone who sees me in these pants would probably say "They fit you perfectly" and they do but for ME-- I like sweatpants to be a big baggier in the butt crotch, thigh area... na' mean? =D So if I could go back in time, I would have actually bought these velour pants in a LARGE. I think I'll keep these though to wear out when I don't feel like dressing nicely lol. Most of my other sweatpants are not "socially acceptable". But they're comfy so I'm keeping them! STFU! <br />

So my friend and I were hanging out and we decided to do her makeup like a Vampiress and film it! I wasn't sure if my subscribers would like me uploading something different from drawing, but I got a pretty good response. My makeup skills aren't the best, and I don't have the best, or a lot of makeup but I want to keep doing makeup videos! They are fun! I want to do a handful of Halloween tutorials. I absolutely love watching makeup artists transform themselves into Halloween creatures! Hope you enjoy!!!<br />

I only got one color, "In The Buff" and I love it! There are some cons though.<br /><br />Pros:<br /><br />● It's the PERFECT color. Seriously, if this came in a lipstick, lipgloss, blush blah blah blah I'd so buy it! It is like the color of my lips but just a tiny bit more pigmented! Sometimes I put on lipstick and the color just looks so phony on me and ridiculous. I like it when lip color looks natural (but it's not).<br /><br />Well I guess that is the only pro, but really color is everything when it comes to lip sticks, stains, glosses right?<br /><br />Cons: <br /><br />● It stings my lips when I put it on, not so much that it hurts or anything, it feels like I'm putting a chemical on my lips. <br /><br />● It doesn't stay on for very long! I have one of those Revlon lip stains and you cannot get those things off your lips! This is the opposite, too much licking your lips and it's gone in less than an hour. <br /><br />●It feels drying. This lip stain doesn't come with a balm, unlike the Revlon lip stains. And it really does need a bit of balm either underneath or on top of it. <br /><br /><br />Although there are 3 cons, the beautiful color of this lip stain pretty much out weighs them!<br /><br />Love it!<br /><br />(Just not for everyday, perhaps lol)<br /><br /><br />xoNicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16921295916805840576noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118839924191902945.post-42932417941644531972011-01-30T13:33:00.000-08:002011-02-04T22:38:46.434-08:00New Blog<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTuUH8GAVbWyAYPd-1Ma8vwrnrXnv-NXGnqzDD_vANjfNPq1JUlvv-IckZMLCj_kipRDoo8MzIwWbQeGV5WUiXnTl0oOSsAf8R5BeaxQadmE3LBz5goh2iynR5WIfiP05gBpFyNjBehz8/s1600/IMG_0780-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTuUH8GAVbWyAYPd-1Ma8vwrnrXnv-NXGnqzDD_vANjfNPq1JUlvv-IckZMLCj_kipRDoo8MzIwWbQeGV5WUiXnTl0oOSsAf8R5BeaxQadmE3LBz5goh2iynR5WIfiP05gBpFyNjBehz8/s400/IMG_0780-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568097522164608226" /></a><br />Hey Guys! I created a new blog. It's http://pacificpastime.blogspot.com/ and THAT is where I will be posting anything to do with art from now on. Please Follow it, I absolutely love blogging and it is just more fun when people are actually reading it! LOL I am really into blogging lately so except lots of posts from me. As for THIS blog, I am thinking of making it a blog all about my favorite subject: FOOD. hehe. I love trying new restaurants, new foods & items at the grocery store. I am a very healthy person but when I have a craving for something you better believe I go find that thing!! I love cooking & baking also so there will probably be some easy, fun, DELICIOUS recipes on here too. I have good taste in food, don't worry. As for outfits of the day and makeup/clothing reviews, things of that nature, I am not sure where to put them for now? Should I make a third blog just for that stuff? Or should I have it on one of these two blogs? I know some people are only going to want to read about art, or food, or fashion. I need a blog name if I do create a third blog.

I recently made YouTube Partner and it was NOT an east feat! I had been babying my YouTube account "PacificPastime" for one year before I was qualified for partner. <br /><br />Before I became partner I would go on google and try to search for more answers about being a YouTube Partner and I could never find much reliable info out there. I don't think there is a specific number of subscribers one needs to make YouTube partner. What I DO think is important, is a channels consistency with uploading videos. I know they look for someone who is uploading on a regular basis. Also, I have heard that you need a video with tons of views. Not sure if this is correct. I have one video with over 100k views so it could be true. <br /><br />Do youtube partners make money? Yes, they have the option of making money off of advertisements on their channel. <br /><br />How much do YouTube Partners make? Unfortunately, YouTube partners aren't allowed to disclose information about how much they get paid. <br /><br />I feel like YouTube should come up with a new name for their Partner Program because it really sounds more prestigious than it is! lol! I think a year is a very common length of time for YouTube users to become partner. If you ever plan on making YouTube partner make sure you don't have ANY copyright issues. <br /><br />The first few weeks/months of my channel, I was thinking I was going nowhere! But the more you upload, and the more you see other videos similar to yours, you learn new things and come up with new ideas and your videos will get better and better. I look back at the first videos I made (which, at the time, I thought were BADASS) and cringe lol. Not only have I gotten better at making videos but I have become a better drawer! And youtube has led me to other things. I started an Etsy account and some of the people who have bought portraits from me said they found me from my YouTube channel! I remember watching the news about a year ago and they were talking about all these YouTube beauty guru's and how they make lots of money and get sent products for review and they news anchor said "if you know how to do something interesting, make a tutorial video on how to do it and you could make money" and right then I was like hmmm....what do I know how to do? At first I was thinking of doing makeup videos. But I thought, I don't want to put my face out there, I'll use my friends face and I will do the makeup! So after a few weeks a told my friend that we could make money eventually and asked her to let me do her makeup on camera and she agreed. So we did the first video and it was good, and I edited it REALLY nice, or so I thought. And I showed my family and everybody thought it was so cool! But that didn't last because she wasn't as into it as I was & I felt like I was begging so I decided to try something more on my own. And I came across some drawing videos, and I knew I wasn't nearly as good as some of them but I thought I'd do it anyways. So I did it and people liked them, and I thought it was fun and the rest is history. Haha, I sound like I've hit the jackpot or something. No no no. I've just gotten to the point where lots of people are subscribed to me and look forward to my videos and tell me my videos made them try drawing and they weren't as bad as they thought which is AWESOME! I love all the sweet comments I get from kids and teenagers. They make my day. So if any of my subscribers are reading this Thank YOU! I love yall!!!!!!<br /><br /><br />XOXONicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16921295916805840576noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118839924191902945.post-9222417390293684562010-12-27T18:58:00.000-08:002010-12-27T19:14:39.970-08:00Showtime Series: DEXTER Review!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP1wCwJbgxPDY7BCTfPesWUlm8IfhDsDBVnIt1jSv52EgmghyphenhyphenL1SNBVr0auq9bd2BC1lwu34xAeld0KQLEx5-emitMJ4dkbjoLT3baMLkbF5ts_6h4tgOMCu7rVHfUOgOmW8W1_a1tgl8/s1600/dexter4_posterb.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 274px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP1wCwJbgxPDY7BCTfPesWUlm8IfhDsDBVnIt1jSv52EgmghyphenhyphenL1SNBVr0auq9bd2BC1lwu34xAeld0KQLEx5-emitMJ4dkbjoLT3baMLkbF5ts_6h4tgOMCu7rVHfUOgOmW8W1_a1tgl8/s400/dexter4_posterb.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555565361028441410" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />I turned on my Wii one day and noticed there was a box to click and it said Netflix. I have already had a Netflix free trial before but I thought hmm, what is this. So I clicked and soon found out that I could watch Netflix movies and shows straight from my Wii, without having to wait for the actual DVD to come to my house or turning on my computer to watch something. So I thought that was really cool. I ended up going ahead and doing another month long free trial.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwDof7ftiNu7Tm2bxzIiVzFcOyQIvez9jWFOKxfDwvh2ZQkmcCYBnA0etnZMEhMaV1vhhdhmPuvWEkixEURU8zR9CQoIM9d_QZXVx8kycDpsHzOQJmoh07T55KqHMzkbxY_vIKo6gvdX8/s1600/dexter-dexter-369389_1280_1024.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwDof7ftiNu7Tm2bxzIiVzFcOyQIvez9jWFOKxfDwvh2ZQkmcCYBnA0etnZMEhMaV1vhhdhmPuvWEkixEURU8zR9CQoIM9d_QZXVx8kycDpsHzOQJmoh07T55KqHMzkbxY_vIKo6gvdX8/s400/dexter-dexter-369389_1280_1024.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555565355835185026" /></a><br />One of the first things I decided to watch was Dexter. I started with Season 1 Episode one and I am on Season 4 Episode 8 right now. I am totally HOOKED on this show! When I first realized what it was about (a serial killer) I thought that was kind of morbid and scary and I wasn't sure if I wanted to be watching something like that so much, but the more I watched it the better it got. The story line is like some of the best thriller movies you've seen. It gets more and more complex as the season moves along. And lucky for me I had all the episodes at my fingertips so I watched Season one like it was a 234986 hour long movie. I got hooked after season 1. The first two seasons were amazing. The second season was a little slow in the beginning, but towards the end it definitely got my attention. I'm on season 4 right now and it's pretty damn good. You can actually find the episodes for free online without having to download anything. Netflix doesn't offer Season 3,4 & 5 on my wii and it takes too long to order one dvd, watch it, send it back, wait for the next one. Because one dvd only comes with about 3 episodes. So I just decided to try to find the episodes online. You really have to search. And search by episode name, it helps. But they are out there. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhfBXw-HbC_HJzb86TkiGz5IlevqnHTCdgcKoX18qLKxxLPONtmBfKKPSbUUTf1KFMG9PbkLxRRNffrhc-NxkDFWkxhXwu8Gu-wNX_xccvwIX4soBMSpGteyrpQ5eOkJj088U4sZylOZs/s1600/dexter_gal4_pr03_ketchup1-795x1024.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 311px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhfBXw-HbC_HJzb86TkiGz5IlevqnHTCdgcKoX18qLKxxLPONtmBfKKPSbUUTf1KFMG9PbkLxRRNffrhc-NxkDFWkxhXwu8Gu-wNX_xccvwIX4soBMSpGteyrpQ5eOkJj088U4sZylOZs/s400/dexter_gal4_pr03_ketchup1-795x1024.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555565353157239954" /></a><br />Anyways, if you are bored with the shows you are watching and are looking for a new exciting show to watch, DEFINITELY go for Dexter. He don't disappoint ;-)DNicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16921295916805840576noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118839924191902945.post-33031815957035732392010-12-25T20:21:00.000-08:002010-12-25T21:07:44.393-08:00Home Made Tamales for the Holidays! (lots of PICS!)My fathers mother was Sicilian and his father is Mexican. So he had a lot of good food growing up. One thing he always talks about that his mom used to make is her tamales. She did them different than most Mexicans do it though. She used vegetables along with the meat. We haven't made these tamales in years but I begged my parents to do it this year and I got my way! Yay! I, of course, helped because making home made tamales is not an easy task! It takes a lot of time! And the more people to help out the better. My brother insisted he "hates" tamales so he didn't want anything to do with the process but my mom, dad and I made a little assembly line and made 40 tamales in probably about an hour! If you are interested in our recipe here are the ingredients you will need:<br /><br />(I do not know exact amounts, but that is not very important with this recipe.<br /><br />For the Masa (the outside part of tamales):<br />-about a plastic grocery bag filled with masa <br />-1 can La victoria Enchilada Sauce<br /><br />For Chicken filling:<br />- 2 whole chickens<br />- 1 can La Victoria Enchilada Sauce<br />-1 red onion<br />-1 tomato <br />-1 yellow & 1 green pepper (not bell peppers, the hot ones)<br />- chicken broth<br />-garlic<br /><br /><br />For INSIDE tamales:<br />-fresh, frozen or canned green beans<br />-1 can garbanzo beans<br />-zuccini <br />-potatos<br />-jalapenos<br />-tomatos<br />-olives<br />-the shredded chicken filling<br /><br />You will also need as many corn husks as tamales you plan on making. We made 40 so that's how many corn husks we needed. You use the corn husk to wrap the uncooked tamale so it stays together & forms while it is steaming<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZCtPqILPLJukrNsyc0l0XxWFvEgYNJEQV0j1ui0sK44hUpEW-d8mC3H3ebMLSE-ffJQ4EO4eFvSfjJuBJOoqw4iuxGm2DTY55LYLiCvlMARWPZunEAv0Y7yjY1pQBHTG8aAvnHBURjTE/s1600/IMG_1323.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZCtPqILPLJukrNsyc0l0XxWFvEgYNJEQV0j1ui0sK44hUpEW-d8mC3H3ebMLSE-ffJQ4EO4eFvSfjJuBJOoqw4iuxGm2DTY55LYLiCvlMARWPZunEAv0Y7yjY1pQBHTG8aAvnHBURjTE/s400/IMG_1323.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554842128076043650" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdwYgqGFfG7PqlKupkzkCt4Fs_VeR_CIKAgV4gr4ufcuVqUEa1n0vT6Hwpit0VqYv7RgM5RM8MpYw0egpajMqvHytSHXIvITfvR_496-SbyFt1YG1ekfuxeBgrL9IFD68PE3rVQMd0Zww/s1600/IMG_1320.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdwYgqGFfG7PqlKupkzkCt4Fs_VeR_CIKAgV4gr4ufcuVqUEa1n0vT6Hwpit0VqYv7RgM5RM8MpYw0egpajMqvHytSHXIvITfvR_496-SbyFt1YG1ekfuxeBgrL9IFD68PE3rVQMd0Zww/s400/IMG_1320.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554842117111919682" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw4p_uA0z6r0VX2VPPx-6MHIWUXMpxRQmUmcjbvsySlNr1p30j_Mff0ZEU_vB-DB-0Mxj95nQOUTm7zony_HD-nqDPFQO1l4V84HeiwTzxBD69jhfofFKOG_tj27HnPQSq_lMkBZ8jTig/s1600/IMG_1321.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw4p_uA0z6r0VX2VPPx-6MHIWUXMpxRQmUmcjbvsySlNr1p30j_Mff0ZEU_vB-DB-0Mxj95nQOUTm7zony_HD-nqDPFQO1l4V84HeiwTzxBD69jhfofFKOG_tj27HnPQSq_lMkBZ8jTig/s400/IMG_1321.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554842123375279058" /></a><br />So as you can see here my dad is just mushing the enchilada sauce in with the masa with his hands.

I think we steamed ours for about two hours. Of course, not all of them will fit in one pot so it took all day to do 40 tamales. Two hours per batch. You can take one out and test it. But it will be better once it cools. <br />We didn't have a big steamer pot so what my mom did was she took her regular big pot and one of those reusable pie tin things and poked about 10 holes in it. she set it on the bottom on top of this other stand she had to it was a little higher off the bottom of the pan and filled the pan with water until the bottom of the pie tin. She set as many tamales she could in the pot. It is VERY VERY important to make sure the pot never runs out of water. It will evaporate so every 20 or 30 min you need to pour a little water in the pot from the side, make sure not to get the tamales wet or they will be soggy. <br /><br /><br />How to make the shredded chicken:<br /> <br />Boil two whole chicken in water with some chicken broth and garlic as well. After they are cooked, let them cool. In the meantime, Sautee a red onion, and the two peppers, & tomato until soft. Then go back to the chicken and take it off the bones and shred it! Add that to the sauteed stuff and then add one can of the La Victoria. Also add about a cup chicken broth. Let that cook for hours. We did ours the day before.<br /><br />SO, Yes this is very time consuming and complicated but after it's all done it's totally worth it! If you try my recipe, I hope you enjoy!

It looked to yellow on her skin so I thought it would be perfect for me. Every single foundation I have ever tried has been to pinkish for my skin and it make's me look like a clam! I also knew that this foundation was oil-free, which is a plus for me because I have oily acne prone skin. I tried a few swatches on my arm as you can see and actually the camera is making it look better than it looks in real life. My arm IS much whiter than my face so it looks too dark for me but I put it on my face and it seems to be the right shade, just not the right color. It's a little to orangey and red for me. I got shade 40 because that is what MakeupbyTiffanyD had and I thought well she might be paler than me but I'd rather have foundation too light than too dark. I do really like the feel of this foundation though...it is not oily AT ALL. And it is super soft. It feels great on my skin!

I don't buy tons of clothes or makeup or things like that. Because I USED to be like that and after that phase I realized how much money I had wasted on clothes I don't even LIKE anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love love love fashion. If I had the FUNDING..lol... I would be dressed to impress 24/7. But, I don't and I would rather have money. What I do spend some of my money on though is food. I am a big FOODIE. I love food, love cooking, baking, eating...nom nom nom! I am always trying new things from the grocery store or new places to eat. Mexican and Italian are my favorites. But when I go to the grocery store I actually like shopping on the organic isle and trying new things they have there. A girl at my work introduced me to these Arizona Pomegranate Green Tea Iced Tea Stix. I absolutely love their pom. green tea that you can purchase in the bottle so I thought Hey, I'll try 'em. They are super delicious! I forget how much money they were but I got a box w/ 10 sicks in it and it must have been less than $5.00. So that's like 10 bottles of green tea! They taste just like the bottle. The only thing that is a BIT off is this tastes a little bit more SPLENDA-y than the bottled stuff. If you don't like splenda you might not LOVE this. I normally don't love splenda but I do really like these sticks! <br /><br /><br />Another thing I recently tried is BAKED chips. They have BAKED Dorito's BAKED Cheeto's & tons more. But those two are my favorites! They are SO much better for you than the originals and they taste just as great! I like the BAKED Cheeto's the best. They really do taste the same. The dorito's are a little "healthier" tasting ...but they still taste like dorito's. They have that addicting taste! :)Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16921295916805840576noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118839924191902945.post-83743829316425058252010-10-05T23:13:00.002-07:002010-10-05T23:31:14.036-07:00My Less Sugar, More Fruits & Veggies Diet. AKA Me Trying to be more healthy.<div>So last night after eating 9283 million dubble bubble pieces of gum & peanut m&ms (I almost just spelt that eminems hahaha) I decided I'm a fatty(not physically) but mentally. I eat WAY too much sugar! And carbs...and fat. But I'm not too worried about the fat because I don't have high blood pressure & it just seems more natural to eat fat than sugar. Even though sugar is grown...WHATEVER. It's confusing. But I know sugar can be very harmful to my body. If definitely makes me FEEL like a fat bastard that's for sure. And it makes me teeth feel nasty. So why do I eat it. I dunnooo?? It tastes sooo nummy! That's why! ANDD...I like to be munching on stuff when I'm bored or watching TV or on the internet. So that's gotta stop. I've heard before that sugar can cause premature wrinkles. Not Good!<div><br /></div><div>So anyways this is what I ate today:</div><div><br /></div><div>BREAKFAST:</div><div>I hate half a banana, then cut up the other half and added it to my oatmeal. I had a BIG bowl of oatmeal. And in my oatmeal I put: butter, milk, brown sugar, maple syrup, raisins, dried cranberries, almonds, aaand the 1/2 bananer.</div><div><br /></div><div>So...yes I know I put a TON of stuff in my oatmeal. I only like it that way. Hey, if I'm gonna eat healthy I want to make sure I'm enjoying it. A little butter aint gonna kill me. ...And brown sugar ...and maple syrup. shut up.</div><div>And I had a large glass O' Water.</div></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilZW9IsZ6Sx51u4BlBYIpc1NGNTj6RY-uMgDgU3W-gOvxsCYpvpe2QZOdw9DEeEic9AFbj-4jgWXSKG1YtWxwCbHtufgCdXddBj_Nvfr_FiFW-t9wcgRDNL2cLWrq9OVYdzWxemlgIC8k/s1600/PBJ-704927-main_Full.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 397px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilZW9IsZ6Sx51u4BlBYIpc1NGNTj6RY-uMgDgU3W-gOvxsCYpvpe2QZOdw9DEeEic9AFbj-4jgWXSKG1YtWxwCbHtufgCdXddBj_Nvfr_FiFW-t9wcgRDNL2cLWrq9OVYdzWxemlgIC8k/s400/PBJ-704927-main_Full.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524816490185814306" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMUB8_TdtJRGcrPWEUCNmXFwFF1t9gRrePpknOAylsckeHIHg_fgBxSDbjhGlEk0ccYRHB-TqwFo142jYO8282bR9gq8rtA7aCP1FXZK6HqmBh3ia3dSCd5WeDonChiFmDbUiQMEMeaHs/s1600/butter-lettuce-3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 269px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMUB8_TdtJRGcrPWEUCNmXFwFF1t9gRrePpknOAylsckeHIHg_fgBxSDbjhGlEk0ccYRHB-TqwFo142jYO8282bR9gq8rtA7aCP1FXZK6HqmBh3ia3dSCd5WeDonChiFmDbUiQMEMeaHs/s400/butter-lettuce-3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524816482855522626" /></a><div><br /></div><div>LUNCH:</div><div>First I ate a salad.

Is that weird??? Haha. I was watching Paula Dean on the Food Network and she said Elvis' favorite food was peanut butter and banana! And then she made it and I was like WHOA I thought my family was the only one who did that. Then I googles peanut and banana sandwhich and there were TONS of photos and stuff about it. So I guess PB & Banana isn't so weird. Have you guys every tried it??<div><br /></div><div>If you haven't it's best this way:</div><div>One piece of whole wheat bread toasted, add the peanutbutter and chopped banana and top that warm gooey mess with a bit of honey. It's DELISH! To me 2 pieces of bread is too much but it is still good.<br /><div><br /></div><div>On the other hand I googled PB & Bologna and there were absolutely NO photo's of it. So I'm thinking my family is crazy for eating them...Actually I think I'm the only one who STILL eats them. </div></div>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16921295916805840576noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118839924191902945.post-87848410015587120662010-09-03T20:11:00.000-07:002010-09-03T20:20:00.223-07:00Style Icon: Lauren Conrad<div>Her style hasn't always been so chic (aka Laguna Beach days) but back then the way she dressed was considered "cute" too!
