Inspirational Post: Things I've Learned Part 6

Hello Everyone!

You know what I love about life? You're constantly learning something new, and with that being said, I bring you today's post on things I've learned part 6.

1. Sometimes the things you want aren't the things you need in your life

2. Stop having the same argument with people. Let them go on the merry go round all by themself.

3. It's ok to disconnect from social media if you need a break (especially facebook)

4. Don't let someone promise you forever when they can't even promise you today

5. Today is a good day to have a good day

6. Live your life despite any obstacles

7. Stop waiting for the perfect moment, enjoy life now

8. You may not always get the closure you want, but try to find some sort of closure so you can be at peace

9. Take off those rose colored glasses and see things and people for what and who they are. You'll thank yourself later.

10. Happiness comes from appreciating the simple things in life

11. Sometimes you have to let go of people and things in order to grow

12. You're an inspiration to someone whether you know it not

13. You can't become a new person if you're still making the same mistakes

14. Trust has to be backed up by behavior. Actions truly speak louder than words.

15. Be who you want to be

16. You may feel bruised, but you're not broken

17. Celebrate your friendships. Yes I'm about to quote a Taylor Swift song lyric "The best people in life are free"

18. Celebrate and recognize your accomplishments.

19. You were destined to great things in life

20. Get inspired and feel excited. Your future is waiting

21. You're time is valuable so don't waste it, more importantly don't allow others to waste your time.

22. Don't let anyone or anything ruin your happy moments in your life. You can't control what others do or say, but you don't have to react to their actions

23. Don't be the reason you don't you don't succeed in life.

24. Life's to short to do the same thing(s) everyday, change things up!

25. Peace of mind is one of the best feelings to have

Pilar in the Pantry: Homemade French Toast Sticks

Hello Everyone!

Today I have a yummy food post recipe to share with you for homemade french toast sticks. I remember when I was little waking up on some weekends to the smell of cinnamon goodness filling the house. Oh what memories!

* Before we get started I was going to make 4 to 5 regular pieces of French toast, but I decided to make 27 sticks instead. You can freeze what's left over and just put them in the microwave. So if you only want to make 4 pieces of regular french toast, reduce the ingredients.


Ingredients

*This is a recipe for 27 french toast sticks

- 3 eggs

- 3 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

- 1 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

- 3/4 cup milk: I used evaporated milk, but any milk you choose should be fine

- 9 slices bread cut into 3 slices per bread

- Butter for frying your french toast sticks

Directions

3 Eggs

3 teaspoons of Pure Vanilla Extract

1/2  teaspoon of cinnamon or 1/2  teaspoon × 3

3/4 cup of Milk or 1/4 cup × 3

9 slices of bread

Coat your bread into mixture, don't let your bread get over Ltd soggy 

Warm butter into your pan on medium heat

Your bread should look this when you flip it over. This is  NOT ready to be taken out the pan. I just wanted to include a picture of what it looks like while frying.

Now take your french toast out of the pan

And place on a paper towel covered plate

Finished Product :) 

You can add syrup, powdered sugar or however you choose to eat them. 

Last Saturday's breakfast that I made. Yum! :)

As I stated you don't have to make this many french toast sticks or you can make whole pieces of French toast, just reduce the measurements. I made this many so I can wrap and freeze them I can just put them in microwave when I'm readt to eat them. If you have any questions about reducing the measurements let me know in the comments section!

Bon Appétit everyone! Let me know if you give this recipe a try!

My Life in October 2016

Hello Everyone!

Today I thought that I would share my life in October with some pictures from my Instagram account. As you may know I'm just getting back on blogger after a two month absence, but if you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen these pictures. I wanted to share these pictures with you all on blogger as well :)

Me on then 1st day of October running early morning errands with my mama.

After running errands with my mama, we decided to stop by Krispy Kreme.

Donut Holes!

Crafts, Decor, and DIY

A Little  video I made to bring in October.

I made them candle holder and then mirror box. I will be showing more of my handmade/DIY crafts in an upcoming post.

I started working on this Afghan for the recliner near the end of August and I finished it near the end of October. This is my first crochet project for this year lol. I still can't believe that I haven't made anything since Christmas 2015! I missed crocheting!

This is how the Afghan is being displayed on the recliner. The pillow came from Homegoods

Soon after I finished the Afghan for the recliner, I started working on an Afghan for their sofa chaise. Hopefully I'll finish this crochet project before Thanksgiving. 

Miscellaneous 

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. A ribbon that I made showing my support in such an important issue.  

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is another tibbon that I made to show my support. It's so important to do monthly checks and get regular mammograms.

I know this picture looks fairly calm, but this was taken them day before Hurricane Matthew. Thankfully my area wasn't badly affected, but trees were down everywhere and then lights were flickering throughout their day with heavy rain. Being a South Carolina recovering flood victim from last year, heavy rain can make one feel on edge.

A calming bath after the hurricane

A little pink glamour. Versace Bright Crystal and Nicki Minaj 's Pink Friday are two of my favorite perfumes!

Food

Homemade french toast sticks that I made last weekend. I'll have the recipe for this up soon! 

I've been on an oatmeal kick lately. Usually I eat Maple and Brown Sugar, but the regular oatmeal has been my go to breakfast.

A dinner that I made during October.  Fried Boneless Pork chops, Aug Gratin Potatoes, and Green Beans

My best friend's birthday was actually near there end of September,  but I gave him this as a gift there early part of October.

I can't forget about the grapes!

Halloween

I took this picture the night before Halloween. I really love these pumpkin since and the lights flash. You probably noticed that in my video I posted earlier in this post.

Another picture of my flashing lights pumpkins

Happy Halloween! I decided to be a kitty

Such a fun and easy kitty look that I created

Berry Lips ft. Milani Sangria Lipstick

Hello Everyone!

*DISCLAIMER: Since I'm just getting back to blogging this week I'll be posting a few drafted posts I originally planned to post over the Summer.

Over the Summer I picked up a few Milani lipsticks when they were on sale at CVS for $3.00. In my discount little haul I decided to pick up Milani's Sangria's. I love this berry shade and this Lipstick will be a staple in makeup Looks I'll wear during this Fall. Here are a few pictures I took back in  August when I first purchased this lipstick. There isn't a makeup look since I'm only wearing lipstick.
