Meeka Bear's Closet! Episode 1

Hello all! So Presh dared me to do a challenge where I put together a super cute outfit once a week and transfer one piece to next weeks outfit. So every week (or month depending on how lazy i feel) you get to see my pretty little face and all the shirts, skirts, and dresses that're in my messy unorganized life. Welcome to my closet. So this weeks outfit I think I was being a little bit too into stripes.

 The shirt was from jc penny a.n.a collection. ( I actually wore it backwards on purpose- the front is just plain black) The cardigan (f21+) and the hair bow (payless) I borrowed from presh.

 My skirt is from Burlington coat factory. my bag from payless...

 The mint colored earrings are from f21 and the owl earring is from amazon

and my shoes are from shoe depot!

Thats all for me~ See you soon!

P.S. Here's a teaser for episode 2!

Hair and There. My hair journey!

My hair almost 4 years ago

2 years ago 

So as many of you know or don't know... I've been natural for the past 3+ years. I had my first relaxer when i was 12 and my last when i was 18. I was very bad when it came to getting my relaxers on time. My hair started out long at first as i maintained it, getting it washed at a salon every week, getting touch ups every 6 weeks. Everything was fine and dandy until i moved to Georgia. It was harder to get to a salon and perm my hair because

Making & Baking

Hey there my precious angels! Its time for a quickie update. 

I bought a lot of nail polish yesterday- this is about 1/3 of what I bought.

SO PRETTY!

ALSO I made pizza! IT WAS DELICIOUS!! (bought the dough from publix!)

*drools*

And I bought some stuff from f21 and Ross and returned some stuff...The first two dresses I kept and the last one i returned. Trust me- they look better on my than the hook. (pics soon)

And that's pretty much it for my week. It's been boring here, all i have to look forward to is my trip to nyc in 2 weeks! (I am so incredibly psyched for it...) But that's it for me! I love you all and I'll see ya soon!

Achievement Unlocked! Oaty Apple Crumble Recipe!

Remember in the last blog when I said i found a new challenge, because the apple crumbles at magnolia disappointed me? WELL I present to you, presh's oaty apple crumble! Honestly it was so good the ice cream wasn't needed. On a serious note if you have apples on hand, I highly suggest making this. It was SO good.

 Presh's Oaty Apple Crumble recipe:

FOOOOOD!!!

Warning: This post is really old- well not really old. Its from last summer...like seven months ago...that is kind of old. I was going through all my drafts, saw this and wondered why the heck i didnt post it but whatever. 

I love food. 

I love *good* food!

And so Romi and I decided to go out and have a cheap taste of the town. Fist we stopped at this pizza place near ro that was pretty good. The picture dosnt do it justice.

My regular cheese slice,

Romies Buffalo chicken pizza looked gooooood.

We then went to magnolia's a few blocks away and got an apple crumble. It was okay. Looks good. Tastes okay. I wanna make this though. NEW CHALLANGE!!

I have to say, the place had a great ambiance.

These cookies wanted to make me cry ( NOT IN A GOOD WAY)  the oatmeal raisin cookies were strange. They were dry. and baked almost like a wafer. I was dissapointed, meanwhile the sugar cookie was better but it was... well Ive made better cookies from scratch. Waste of money.

So we went to this 99cents pizza place im pretty sure it was called 99cents fresh pizza. Yeah it was like eating air. NOT IN A GOOD WAY! Honestly im not going to 99c pizza places anymore. I want real pizza. Seriously though, Ive had frozen pizza that tastes way better than that.

I forgot where we stopped here....But Romies Iced cream was yummy ( and expensive) So instead of icecream I got a cupcake. That was hard. and not good at all. I didnt even take a picture. I ate some of it and gave the rest to a homeless guy.

On a different day we went to pie face- Romie' pie (the pumpkin pie) was yummy! My pie (the lemon thinger) WAS SOUR. What a waste of money! If i wanted something that sour ida gone to the bodega and bought myself a lemon for 50 cents!! Honestly!

Hi, My name is Presh.

I'm back like a boomerang ya'll! Long time no see right? Yep I know its only been like 5 months. But it's okay because we're homies and you don't hold grudges. :)

So let me reintroduce myself and catch you up. I'm Presh, 21, a student and a cashier at your favorite office supply store, and here's a short list entitled:

Things you might or might not have known about me.

4.I love making lists

5. I love cooking and baking (my favorite thing to make is macaroni and cheese)

Lazy day outfit & Finals studying tips!

Finals is here once more which means, bummy outfits to school. I love the outfit below,because it looks like you kind of tried, when you didnt even do much. Now, thats my kind of style! Here are some of my tips for studying for finals:

1. Don't panic, and try to get  as much done as you can when you can.There's always tomorrow.
2. Remember to eat.(sometimes I forget to eat, because when you're working so hard, you just don't feel hungry)
3. If you don't get sleep,your body will eventually  crash on its own.
