Team Natural



Make sure to watch the end!

I love to watch Naptural85 and all her videos! She is SO helpful! If you are team natural or would like to become part of team natural, definitely look up her videos for ideas and advice on maintaining your beautiful, curly, natural hair!

Use Your Imagination

"Whenever people ask me what my style is I immediatly say: eclectic.  some days I want to dress super chic, other days rocker, and some days very feminine." -Zarna from Zarna's Runway http://zarnasrunway.blogspot.com/

I'm sure you can tell by my blog that my style is very much all over the place but I always get the same word when people describe my style: sophisticated.

I think I like that.

Don't be afraid to try out different looks because no matter what your style will ALWAYS peek through!



I tried California Pizza Kitchen for the first time last night and I loved it! Our waiter told me she can tell I have a real appreciation for food when she took my order.

I ordered the Five Cheese + Fresh Tomato pizza which includes: Sliced tomatoes, basil, fresh Mozzarella, Monterey Jack, smoked Gouda, Mozzarella and shaved Pecorino Romano but I noticed it had no meat on it! I asked for pepperoni on it and it was amaaaaziiiinngggg. Maya ordered the Tostado pizza which is basically taco pizza and hers actually came with this really tasty salsa on the side. In fact, it was SO delicious that I had them add that to my pizza as well. What can I say? I appreciate good food!

This polka dot head band was made from a skirt I thrifted sometime last year. I cut the skirt into a mini skirt then took the extra fabric and made it into a headband

Petey Pablo - Freek-A-Leek

Everybody has those songs on their playlist that make them feel like a straight ho but they don't even care. This is one of those songs. Unleash the ho within! *gyrates hips*

This Is The Remix!

What's For Dinner: Shrimp & Cucumber Pasta Salad....Remixed!

I didn't have all the original ingredients to make this meal (This is where I got the idea! http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/roasted-shrimp-and-orzo/) so I put my own spin on it and it turned out delicious! I highly recommend this quick meal for any and all of you!

What you'll need:

  • 2 lbs of shrimp
  • one cucumber
  • one onion
  • garlic
  • feta cheese
  • rice

Photobucket

Photobucket

Add some cooking oil first then mix shrimp, cucumbers, and garlic in the pan
Photobucket

I, of course, seasoned with Adobo and Lemon & Pepper seasoning but feel free to pick your own seasoning!
Photobucket

Grate a little onion on top while cooking

Add the rice

Enjoy!!

Rest In Peace, Amy
