Favorite "Apps"

Let's face it, we live in a digital world. We are connected to our smart phones, tablets, and laptops. I'll admit, I Google almost everything. Here are a few of my favorite "apps" that I can't live without.

Facebook: Is there a person that isn't on Facebook? It is such a good way for people to stay connected. Everything is on Facebook. I mean marriages aren't official until it's on there right?  ;)

Twitter: Is it bad that I check Twitter first thing in the morning? It is my source of celebrity gossip, sports news, and music events. I love that you can tweet someone and there is just that off shoot chance they will see it and tweet you back. Luckily, I've had quite a few big names tweet me back...and yes, it perks up my day.

Groupon: I'll admit, I was skeptical the first time I heard of Groupon. After reading some reviews and talking with family members who have used it, I love it. I was able to book a 60 minute facial for $12. That's awesome! They have some great hotel deals, beauty deals, and deals on items you never knew you wanted until you saw it on Groupon. If you're frugal like I am, this app is for you!

AAA Mobile: This app gives you access to directions, and local hotels, restaurants, and attractions. If you are out on the road and looking to settle in for the night, just pull up the AAA app and put in your location and it will tell you the nearest hotel.

QVC: If you are as addicted to QVC as I am, then this app is for you! You can search by designers, or category. You can also order right from the app! They also have a companion app the QVC Beauty app where you can search all of your favorite beauty items.





The Weather Channel: This is essential to any smartphone! I check the weather on this app before I go to bed so I can have an outfit planned in my head for the day. Keep in mind I also watch the news and use the app as a cross reference. As often as the weather changes, this is a good app to keep handy!



Is there any essential apps you love? What are your must haves? Leave me a comment and let me know!

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness!  In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil.

Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

Simple Sugars Review

There is no doubt that this scenario has happened to you. You get some really expensive cream to put on your acne, rosacea, or eczema. You try it out, and find out you are allergic to it, or it makes your skin look horrible. Such was the case with Lani Lazzari. She has sensitive skin and has tried every commercial product on the market to help her eczema. Nothing worked, so she took matters in her own hands. She created Simple Sugars in December of 2005. If you're wondering where you might have heard Lani's name before, she appeared on ABC's Shark Tank! The scrubs are all natural and uses many different oils. There are no sulphates, artificial preservatives, parabens, colors, or scents. There are scrubs for your face, body, feet, and even some for the men in your life! You can find your perfect scrub on their website . I wish you could smell this! I bought some at a local retailer and I am impressed! I got the chocolate scent, and let me tell you, it smells AMAZING!...

It's Been Awhile...

 Hi! Do you remember me and this little blog? I've been thinking about starting this blog back up again, and I am just going to jump in with both feet and go for it! In the past what, 4 years since the last post, I have learned a lot, and have a lot to share! So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet.  I will give you a little reintroduction of myself.  I'm Mandii. I'm a small town girl full of random information. Sports facts, check. Fashion tips, oh yeah, I've got those a plenty! Recipes? You're speaking my language. I love all things faith, family, fashion, sports, and food related. Which is exactly what you will find on this space. I love to travel even though I don't do it nearly enough.  I don't know if I am going to commit to a full 5 days on here yet. I'll play it by ear, and if you'll stick with me, I think we can do some great things here!  I...
