Real Talk.....



Lately, I feel as though so many people have taken life for granted. I saw this quote and fell in love. It speaks nothing but the truth. Life is too short to worry about the little things that ten years from now you won't care about. I want to live life and love what I'm doing in my life. Even though I'm only twenty seven years old I'm a strong believer in not sweating the little things. I try to live life to the fullest. I do get a little upset when people do things that bring me out of my character, but all I can say is God's not through with me yet. I am a work in progress and I'm not afraid to say I have flaws. I say live your life the way you want and don't let no one tell you what you can and cannot do (definitely abide by the law though). Your life is your decision so love who you want, be who you want, and be true to yourself. 


Until next time......Smooches!!!!!

All White Everything.....


On Saturday we celebrated my mother in laws 50th birthday. She is a wonderful mother, friend, and sister. She has help me throughout my life with every problem I have had from crying because of family issues to helping me pick out my wedding dress. From the beginning she has always made me feel welcomed and I appreciate it so much (I love you mommy!!!). I'm so glad that she got to celebrate her 50th birthday in a big way because she deserved it. So months ago we knew that she wanted an all white party, so immediately I went on a hunt to find the perfect dress and shoes.  I originally found my dress on lovelywholesale.com, but when I went to go buy it they didn't have it in white. So I didn't give up on it and one day my friends told me to look on amazon.com. I checked them out and guess what I found it !!!! My friend has an amazon account so it shipped to me in two days (the dress was only like $21).Then I went on a hunt for the perfect shoes, I finally found them on shoedazzle.com and on sale for only $10 (memorial day sale). I went with a silver shoe to break up all the white and because there was silver in my necklace. My friend at the last minute decided to help me out and do my hair (Juliana), thank God for friends and I just did eyeliner for makeup. We had so much fun and everything turn out good. 

My Outfit:
Dress - amazon.com
Necklace (old)- Target
Bracelets (gifted)- Alex and Ani

My Husbands Outfit:

Shrimp Pasta Salad....



Hey I know it's been a while since I did my last post (my apologies). Well just know that I've been very busy being a mom,wife, etc. I will be posting more now because I have partnered up with Starbrille from livinglifeasstar.blogspot.com and a few of our coworkers on a business venture (we will talk more later about it). For now lets talk pasta, I love making pasta anything (still learning)and my go to is my shrimp pasta. 
Ingredients:
 3 Bags of  shrimp(small)
3 Boxes of  Garden Rotoni
3 peppers (orange, red, and yellow) 
1 Cucumber
4 Small tomatoes (as many as you want)
2 Tbsp. of butter 
1 Tbsp. of  Minced onions and Salt
2 Tbsp. of  Italian Seasoning, Black pepper, Garlic powder, Olive Oil and Old Bay
1 Bottle of  Italian Dressing (or how ever much you want)
Olives 
Shredded  and Grated Parmesan 
Parsley (as much as you want) 
1 Tin Pan (whatever size you want) 




First, boil your water for your noddles , Then put  2 Tsp. of  Olive Oil in the water so your noodles wont stick. *boil the noodles for 10-12 minutes




While that's going put the shrimp in a pot with a cap full of water (the frozen shrimp will melt and that will help cook the shrimp, but make sure you empty some of the water out so it won't boil your shrimp). Then use 1 Tbsp. of Old Bay and butter into the pot and put a lid on to stem it. Let it steam until it turns pink and curl up. 
*Get the bag that is already deveined, tail-off,and peeled much easy to deal with.  




Then chop up (mince) your veggies ( I chop them small because I don't like chunky vegetables)
and place them in the tin pan. 



Once you drain the noddles, let both the shrimp and the noodles cool off. Also, place it in the tin pan. 
After you stir it all together put all the seasonings in. Once it's to your liking put the shredded /grated Parmesan cheese, black olives and stir it together. At last put the bottle of  Italian dressing and mix it all together. Then serve!!!!



Until next time.....Smooches!!!!

My Bday....


Last weekend I celebrated my birthday. I turned 27 years old .... getting close to 30 yikes!!!! I spent it with family and friends. My husband, kids, mother-in-law and I celebrated during the week with crab legs (my favorite). My wonderful mother-in-law woke up that Saturday and made me (and the rest of the family) a birthday breakfast. Then later we met up with family and friends. We went to Nantucket Reef our new favorite restaurant and Sip 'N paint at VisArts both are located in Rockville,Md. Then on yesterday my lovely coworkers decorated my desk and gave me gifts as well. I was very thankful and very happy because everyone that played a part made me feel very special. So here are some pictures from the events and the past of me!!!!!!!!!!
