What I wish I knew...

This post is a reflection of sorts. It is beauty things I wish I knew, let's say, back in college. Now, I got up, showered every day, and always dressed well. I applied my makeup and always curled my hair. However, knowing what I know now, I would change some things. So here is what I wish I knew back then.

Makeup:

I wish I would've picked up a good primer. Both for my lids and my face. By day's end I would be an oil slick, and a primer would have solved that problem. I also wished that I would have filled in my brows. I can see now what a difference that makes, and it would've helped out a lot! I also wish I would have invested in a high quality eyeliner that lasted a long time. Mine was non existent by the end of the day.

Hair:

If I was in college today, dry shampoo would be my best friend. I would have trained my hair to go every other day, and not heat processed it as much as I did. I wish I knew about how wonderful hair oils can be and how absolutely amazing my hair feels with them in it. I would have pulled my hair up more, top knots can be really cute!!

Contacts:

Oh, if I had to do college over again, these suckers would top my list! I can't believe it took me so long to try them! I am definitely hooked!

Clothing:

I always got dressed up for class. I loved it. I sort of live by the motto, "Never leave the house in sweatpants. You never know when you will meet a dashing stranger, or an old enemy." If I had it to do different, I would give myself one day where I would go to class in sweats.

So what would you have done differently? It doesn't have to be for college, but say 5 years ago? Leave me a comment and let me know! I'd love to hear from you!

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...

Christmas/New Year's Recap

First, I just want to say that I have absolutely no pictures from Christmas. I'm terrible, I know. In my defense, I was sick all through Christmas and just wasn't feeling "it." I do however, have pictures of some of the gifts I received and New Year's. Christmas Eve dinner was hosted by my parents and I. We had lasagna, wedding soup, salad, bread, and Italian butter. I made a homemade alfredo sauce to go along with the lasagna. I also made the Italian butter, and attempted to make my homemade French bread. This year, the bread did not turn out. For dessert, I made white chocolate raspberry shooters. They were SO good! I will do a recipe on those when I make them again! After everything was cleaned up, we honestly just relaxed. I would have liked to have gone to Christmas Eve service at our church, but I was coughing, clearing my throat every 5 minutes, and blowing my nose every 10. I was a hot mess. My grandparents came back out to our house after church and w...
