Artiste I am Not, But I Try:)

I love to have my nails perfectly painted and pretty all the time, but it's just not feasible most days with my crazy life. The minute I get out the nail polish I have two short people crowding me demanding to have their nails all pretty too. Never mind one of them is a boy, he still wants to be pretty. Sigh. Waiting until they are in bed sucks because I don't stay up that late. I don't mind painting their nails, kid nails take like 30 seconds, but they are never happy to just get their nails done and back off, they must have their faces right in my way the whole time! But I digress. I think I may just get them done a little more often these days, what with my newly organized beauty table and brand spanking new door lock on my bedroom:) Things just got a bit easier!

This was a quick design that I put on after spending around 4 hours trying different colors and trying and failing to do a marble design. I finally gave up on the marble effect and went with flowers. Very simple and sort of pretty, if not all that neat. One thing I learned after this marathon nail paint and redo session, I needed some practice nails.
So my next trip to GF and I got me some! Love being able to try different things without having to take it all back off and start over:) And I was able to practice some pumpkin faces for my Halloween nails before I messed up my own nails;)

Not perfect, but I love em!

The color is China Glaze, Japanese Koi(neon) and is much nicer in person.

My New Pretties:)

I love E.L.F. cosmetics! I get to try different techniques and colors without spending a lot of money:)

My first big eye shadow palette. I've never had so many choices! Where to start?

Subtle pinks and purples, too bad my camera sucks the fat one:( Oh well, Christmas is coming:)

The Sandwich is Back!!

One of the hardest things about going Primal is giving up the lunch sandwich. Ham and cheese rolled together is good, but bread makes it even better. Right? Not if your Primal. No grains, means no bread. Well, almost;) You see, people are constantly looking for ways to primalize their favorite foods and there are hundreds of recipes out there for primal and paleo breads. I've tried several, but to be honest, they really don't even come close to the real thing. Until now......

Introducing Paleo Angry Bread! All credit goes to Rivvin on the PB Forums:) Head on over and check it out, you might learn something!

The ingredients couldn't be more simple. Not sure if you can handle that? Try changing the butter to coconut oil or bacon grease, or make a sweet bread with cinnamon and allspice, pour some cream over it and fall down in ecstasy! Change is good and the sky is the limit, it's your bread, make it your way!

Ingredients:

2 T Butter

1/4 C almond flour/meal

1 large egg

1 t. baking powder

Mix, mix, mix, pour into glass dish and microwave on high for 1 min. 15 sec. Done!

See how pretty it comes out! Just like a cornbread! Very good texture, slices well, spongy and doesn't fall apart:)

Perfect for that elusive and much craved sandwich!

Kid approved!

The following video was made for my oldest daughter who lives far away from me and is trying to eat Primal on her own. It's kind of corny, but shows how easy this is:) Oh, and please ignore the crappy quality, all I have is the darn web cam and I don't know why there is a sound delay:{

Quick update on me:) I'm down under 200lbs finally! It has been a long road to get here, but going Primal has made all the difference. I have lost 17lbs since coming home from Indiana in mid August and something like 7 inches. I feel great, my hair and skin are healthy, I'm sleeping well, haven't had a night terror in weeks and my energy has been wonderful. It works people!

Thanks for stopping by!
