The Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory!

Presh and I took  a trip to the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, then we took the ferry . It was a lovely despite the fact that Presh is not really a boat person. The ice cream was delicious, $4 a scoop. I liked the strawberry ice cream, but it  is not something I would go out of my way to have.  I definitely recommend visiting this area in general. Enjoy my pictures below!

*sneezes*

I've been sick. Still am- And between practically coughing out a lung not being able to sleep right or eat much and still being forced to go in to work i just have no energy for anything.

Todays my first day off in a while and I just wanna sleep (or attempt to) and continue to contribute to my ever growing mountain of tissues. The only thing thats been making me feel relaxed is the books i've been reading.

Well the books i just finished. (I was reading the last two books in the hunger games.) Now im bookless- and grumpy and thinking about ordering new books from amazon. (Ive got my eyes set out on this and this.)

Before I got sick I did a few things...

I started a care package for my younger brother (he's in college) And i was about to ship it until I realized my older sister ate some of the things I put in there for him. (thanks wendy.)

The picture is about  two thirds of whats actually in the box. Its going to cost me an arm and a leg to ship this though. So little brother when you read this. You're Welcome.

Note to self....hold a giveaway

So I know I've been off the grid for a while and i suuuuper apologize. To make up for it Im hosting a few giveaways over the next couple of weeks. And the first one is for those of us that procrastinate when they really really need to get stuff done. These note pads are super awesome, you write down things you needa do and when youve done it you rip em out. Its super duper neato. And theres a bunch of different designs- i think ya'll will like them.

SOOOO Ive got (4 books all together) 3 books to give to 3 different people and im keeping one for myself! Contest ends September 22nd, and it's not international- US residents only. (Edit  : Will totally ship to Canada too)

Presh's August Favorites

So considering august is my birthmonth and my birthday passed, im going to share with you some of the things i've learned that I cant live without. thats right yall its time for my August favorites!

 

Cocoa Butter lip balm hunny! This stuff MELTS your lips. Dry and cracked is not an option with this balm. 

 So I dont indulge in chocolate a whole lot....at least i didnt use to, but then they started selling these godiva white chocolate vanilla bean and the milk chocolae salted caramel at my job and oh my jesus are these the best darn chocolate bars i ever tasted!

So These Last three items are  the beeest for your nails, firstly the NYC matte me crazy top coat is super awesome, it makes any nail color look matte (duh) and Essies good to go top coat  makes your nails SO shiny its equally awesome. And lastly are the impress press on manicures. Im not going to say anything about those because you'll find out more about them in a couple of posts. :)

It's getting hot in here...

So I went to Applebees, like 3 days ago because i was CRAVING wings. I ordered them country style and when  I got home they were more like...crappy style.
That was terrible.
I apologize, but they were really bad wings.
I was highly disappointed. They were sauceless but they weren't crunchy and they had NO flavor. Needless to say I'm not going back to that location. Now my problem was that i had 10 wings that tasted like crud and they got soggier over night. So being the culinary genius that i am I turned these cold lame wings into...

Super Duper Hotwings!  

That pictures unedited yall- straight from the camera.

I wish I had thought of taking a picture of the dull wings before I made them all saucy but it's cool. 

Any who All i did was melt a tablespoon and a half of butter in a pan, added some Cajun seasoning (which is just paprika, salt, black pepper, red pepper, onion and garlic powder) then doused that sucker in hot sauce and tossed in the wings turning every so often so it gets coated all the way through. And let me tell you this was YUMMY although it wasn't as hot as i wanted it to be so i dipped it in some sirachas and sweet baby Jesus my mind was BLOWN. These were delicious. Oh yeah there's parsley flakes as a garnish but honey that's just for show. Its good with or without it.  So y'all go ahead and try this next time you have some left over wings and im guaranteeing you wont be disappointed.

This again?

More from the Renegade craft fair! I apologize for being SO LAZY when it comes to posting. I've been VERY busy. Life. Ugh. Anyway Pictures!!! Enjoy!!
