Favorite Styling Tools

Let me let you in on a little secret about me. If my hair isn't done, I feel worthless. I could have Mally Roncal do my makeup and if my hair wasn't done, I wouldn't feel beautiful. Does anyone else feel that way? Please comment me and let me know I'm not the only one! So being that my hair is probably the longest it has ever been, (loving it) I have been able to use different styling tools on it. Here are a few of my favorites!

Styling Wands:

L-R Remington T Studio and Conair Infiniti

Helen of Troy 3/4" and 1 and 1/2"

Conair Infiniti You Curl: This iron will give you the Taylor Swift curls if you take small sections. This starts at 1" and ends at a 1/2". I like to use this on days I will be traveling or doing a lot of running around because the curls hold so well!

Remington T-Studio Pearl: This style tapers from a 1 1/2" down to a 1" curl. I like this best for creating curls on the bottom and a flatter top section.

Curling Irons:

Helen of Troy 3/4 inch iron. I use this most often. I love the soft curl it gives me, makes my hair shiny, and heats up quickly.

Helen of Troy 1 1/2 inch curling iron. I like to use this to curl my hair under. It creates a nice bend to my hair without making it look curly.

I'd like to mention that all of these tools heat up quickly and all go to 400 degrees. You can find the styling wands at Wal-Mart and the curling irons at Sally Beauty.

Do you have a favorite brand of styling tool? Do you have a go to curling iron that you use everyday? 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. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

*Warning: this will be a long post, and picture heavy!* :) Strictly based on the title alone I should have caught your attention! Sunday was the Alex Goot concert. It was at bar in Pittsburgh, and there were about 5 acts to the show! You definitely got your money's worth! I went with my cousin, Allie (you can find her blog here! ) and it was just a fun girls night! The show was in a bar which used to be an old church, so it was very pretty inside. We got there around 6, parked, and only had to stand in line for 10 minutes before we got to go inside. When we went in, we got our tickets scanned and BAM , there was Landon Austin and Luke Conard at their merchandise table. So, because I somehow gained oodles of confidence*, Allie and I went over and I said "Hi Landon!" He said "hi" back and asked me my name. I had a card for him so I handed it to him and he asked if he should open it now or later. I said that it was up to him. We moved on to Luke Conar...

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...
