Summer is just around the corner!!! YAY! Im so excited =D this winter has dragged on way to long. I wonder why I live in Utah each winter. One of these days I am going to up and move to a place where the weather is warm all year round.

With that being said, I need to get my butt in shape! I have gotten out of my routin a little this winter so I have to hit it hard. I have some major goals that I want to get to by the end of the summer. I am starting the p90x challenge but will also be doing some more to go along with it to make sure I hit these goals.

Blondes have more fun?

So, its true. I went back to blonde. One Monday I thought that it would be fun to go back to my roots, so I made a phone call and went in that night. Lets just say when I make a decision I go for it. I have to admit that I think I like the brown better, but this is fun for the summer. I wasn't expecting to go this blonde this fast, I was expecting it to take awhile to get back to this color. So you can decide what you like better.

Valentine's Day!

Great movie to see this Valentine's Day

Valentine Chex® Mix

9 cups Rice Chex® cereal

1 cup white vanilla baking chips

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup butter or margarine

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup red, white and pink candy-coated chocolate candies

1/4 cup red or pink jimmies sprinkles

1. In large bowl, place cereal. In small microwavable bowl, microwave baking chips, peanut butter and butter uncovered on High 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated.

2. Place 1/2 of the cereal mixture in 1-gallon food-storage plastic bag. Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper or foil to cool, about 15 minutes.

Red Velvet Pancakes

1/2 of an 18.25 oz box Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Red Velvet cake mix (about 2 cups lightly filled)

2 large eggs, beaten (see Cook's Note)

2 Tbsp oil 1/4 cup + 1 tsp water 3 Tbsp butter

Whipped cream (optional)

Powdered sugar (optional)

Combine the cake mix, eggs, oil and water in a mixing bowl until just thoroughly blended (don't overmix). If batter seems too thick, add another tablespoon of water. Cook the pancakes in a non-stick pan over medium heat. You want to cook these a little slower than regular pancakes because you don't want them to brown too much. Keep them warm in a low oven.

When ready to serve decorate with whipped cream or powdered sugar, if desired.

Makes about 8 pancakes (about 5 inches across)


Cook's Note: To make these (or any pancakes) lighter, separate the yolks and whites. Combine the beaten yolks with the other batter ingredients; beat the whites to soft peaks and gently fold them into the batter.

My Redecorating Project

Ok, so I have lived in my house for 2 years now and for those of you who know me, know I love to decorate. So I have decided its time for an upgrade. Not only will I be redecorating my room and bathroom, I am also finally going to be finishing my basement!!!! I have few ideas in mind.

I am thinking I want to do the basement an old vintage Hollywood. With blues, whites and oranges.



My room is the other half of the project which I am thinking of doing yellow, whites and blacks.

All those resolutions...

So, its the beginning of a new year, you can tell by the lack of treadmils at the gym. I hate new years resolutions because I feel like it is an excuse people use to say they are making all these goals that they are never going to accomplish. I also really don't understand why they have to wait for a new year. There is always a time to make goals and become better. Negative? Maybe, but until then I just wait for first couple week of January to be over and the resolutions wear off so the gym goes back to normal. Negative or not, I did however, decide on a couple resolutions myself. These have nothing to do with the regular lose a few pounds, wash my car weekly, you know the regular stuff, but I have decided to take things to the next level. Take this however you would like, but in all honesty there are a lot of things I would like to take to the next level like the type of guys I date, my own business, my opportunities to travel, those are just to name the few. So as much I hate all those new years resolutions and the lack of follow through, I am willing to work hard and move forward with what I feel my future has in store for me. Here we go! This is the begining of my next level!

Winter fun!
