Food: White Chili

This is one of my favorite Autumn/Winter recipes. If you have been a guest in our home you have probably had this once, twice, maybe more! Since almost everyone who tastes it asks for the recipe I thought it was time to blog about it!

My dearest friend Crystal Lynn introduced this to me, and I believe she found it in a recipe book, so I can't take credit for the taste... just for bringing it into your life!

WHITE CHILI

2 B/S Chicken Breasts
1 medium Onion
2 cans of Chicken Broth
2 cans of Northern Beans (small, white beans), drained & rinsed
1 (4oz) can of chopped Green Chilies
2 teaspoons of Cumin
1 package of Country Gravy Mix

1 cup of Cold Water
1. Cook chicken (I usually use the George Foreman!)
2. Saute Onion
3. Add chopped chicken, Broth, Beans, Chilies, and Cumin
4. Bring to a boil
5. Mix Country Gravy Mix with the cup of water before adding it to the mixture
6. Simmer for 15 minutes and serve

Servings: 4-6 depending on bowl size

Toppings: Sour cream, shredded cheese, and Fritos (these are a must!!!!)

Also serve with cornbread!

Products: Pureology


My favorite hair care line is Pureology.


The entire line is fabulous, but these are the products that I enjoy using the most:


Nanoglaze: apply to wet hair to help prevent breakage.


Hydrate shampoo/conditioner: wonderful for hair that is color-treated, dry, and styled often.


Hydrate Shine Max: Keeps the frizz down and adds shine.


Essential Repair Colour Max: I use this before I spend time in the sun.


Root Lift: AMAZING.



Enjoy the fabulous!

Products: Angel Lotion


A lotion that's great for summer!

I have used this for years, and I think it's the best after-tanning lotion I have found. It's a nice weight that doesn't leave you feeling greasy, and the scent isn't overwhelming!


You can find it at tanning salons, or click on the title to purchase it online.


Enjoy the fabulous!

Products: Lock 'n' Lock

We all know the benefits of tupperware, but I've always struggled with finding the best brand.

At this point, Lock 'n' Lock is a great option! I'm able to cut up veggies, store them, and they keep longer than using other brands that I've tried.

They come in so many sizes, and would also work great for organizing.

Enjoy the fabulous!

Product: Rimmel Eye Makeup Remover



This is my favorite eye makeup remover. It is gentle, and I think it does the best job of getting all the makeup off. The solution is light and does not leave an oily film on your eye.

Another bonus is that you can find it at almost any drugstore and it is very inexpensive!

I highly recommend it!

Enjoy the fabulous!

Products: Mini Saltine Crackers


Ok, so recently my lovely assistant brought a box of these to work. She offered, and I accepted the chance to try them.

My life is now changed.


I am pretty much obsessed with them and keep a box in my desk for the mid-morning snack.


I suppose they're great for having around with kids too.


You absolutely must try them!!!!!


Enjoy the Fabulous!

Organize: Sort It Out

Here is a way to tackle any room, closet, or other space

Designate 1 bin, box, or bag for each category:
Garbage/Recycle
Give Away
Sell
Somewhere Else in the House, Office, Etc.

Sort everything in the space you're tackling into 1 of those categories.
Once a container is full, take the appropriate action (this empties the container!)

And you're ready to tackle another space!
