My Current Hair Obsession

Lily Aldridge has gorgeous soft ombré hair with bouncy layers that I have coveted for yeeeeeaaaarrrrsss. It is a timeless look that is perfect for fall. I am thinking it is time to turn my blonde ombré into a caramel ombré 😁.  Wish me luck!

What I have been pinning

Here are a few of my fall favorites. Pinterest is a great tool to find trends that are right for YOU. 

1. Lily Collins sleek half pinned up hair with middle part. Very polished and easy to maintain

2. A pop of color. Nothing I love more than dark navys, browns, blacks and greens with a pop of mustard yellow or red.

3. Dark lips. Fall is the best time to try out those berry and wine colors you have stashed away. Try with a classic smokey eye or just mascara.

4. Colored jeans with riding boots. Enough said.

Bacon and Caramelized Onion Calzons

Hello Everyone! Lately I have been craving Caramelized onions and then I found a unique recipe using just that. This is my adapted version from halfbakedharvest.com. (Definitely check that blog out for some awesome recipes!)

Bacon and Caramelized Onion Calzones

What you need

1 pizza dough 

1 medium sweet onion

1 tsp chopped garlic

1/2 pound of cooked bacon

1/4 cup of BBQ sauce

1 tsp brown sugar 

1 tsp of butter

1 cup of cheese I recommend fontina or cheddar 

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

To start roughly chop the onion and add to a hot sautée pan. You can use a little olive oil here but I used cooking spray to lower the calories. Sautée until onions are translucent then lower the heat and add garlic, brown sugar and 1 tsp of butter. Cook for about 3 minutes as the onions are caramelizing then add the BBQ sauce. Set to the side. 

Divide pizza dough into 4 sections. Roll sections out. Put a heaping spoonful of the onion mixture on each of the dough sections. Add the cheese and crumble the bacon. Fold one side of the dough over and press into the other size making a seam. Take the two ends and tuck them under to keep the filling in place. 

I sprayed mine with cooking spray and dusted with garlic powder. You can use olive oil and fresh garlic also. 

Cook for 25 minutes or until tops are browned and serve!

Bacon tip* I cook mine on a baking dish in the oven at 375 for about 10 minutes.

1 cup low fat or skim milk 

1 tbsp vanilla

1/4 cup of unsweetened apple sauce

Pinch of salt 

Tsp flax seed

Dating Costars: Risking Entertainment For All

Why is it that all single costars seem to decide to date just before the first movie is released. What if it doesn't work out??? Should we be subjected to a lack luster performance after the inevitable break up?

Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower they started dating after being cast in the hopeful series of Mortal Instrument Movies. They split two weeks before the movie came out in theaters. 

Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder started dating in late 2011. Their breakup was announced this summer right after filming the latest season of Vampire Diaries. (Ya know the one where their characters finally fall in love)

Everyone knows the on and off couple Robert and Kristin. 

Emily VanCamp and Joshua Bowman star together in Revenge. They have been together since the show premiered in 2012. Currently they are still going strong.

Then there is the most addictive teen flick Pitch Perfect. They just announced the sequel is being written! Skylar Astin and Anna Camp have also been dating since filming Pitch Perfect.

They just cast the costars for the 50 shades of grey movie trilogy. I can only hope these two wait until the third movie if they decide to date. I mean come on people! I need that passion to make it through all three movies! ;)

2013 Fall Makeup Trends and Chocolate Orange Cake

Smokey Eyes are in the air. Summer is coming to an end fast and my favorite season will be here before we know it! As the weather cools down it is a lot easier to where a smokey eye since we do not have to worry about everything smearing around in the humidity. 


Thick lashes and smokey lower lash lines have been appearing everywhere. I can see why! One of my favorite trends so far. I have been buying two sets of Ardell demi wispies and gluing them together for a full natural look. Super cheap and easy way to try out one of the hottest looks of the season! 

Now lets talk cake. My two favorite flavor combos have always been oranges and chocolate. I made a simple chocolate cake and added a little fresh orange juice, but the real star is the icing. Orange. Butter. Cream. Recipe follows, 5 lbs may also. Sorry! 

Orange Buttercream

1 Cup Softened Butter
1 Cup Shortening
4 Cups Powdered Sugar
2 Tbsp Fresh Orange Juice
1 Tsp Orange Extract
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
Orange Food Coloring  if desired.

Cream together butter and shortening. Add juice and extracts. Slowing add in the powdered sugar. If it is too thick you can add a little milk, cream or water. Tada! You have an amazing creamy orange frosting!

Channeling Clarissa Fray

Hello! With all the excitement around the new movie Mortal Instruments I decided to replicate Clary's sultry shadow hunter look. 

What I used:

Loreal Semi Permanent Gloss In Light Auburn

Loreal True Match Lumi W3

Rimmel Bronzer Sun Dance

Rimmel Black Eye Liner

The Balm Nude Tude Palette 

Loreal Volumize Mascara Blackest Black

Rimmel Lipstick 104

EOS Lip Balm

Mac Blush Style

Forever 21 Faux Leather Jacket 

Forever 21 Gold Necklace

China Glaze Seduce Me

First off, my hair is already brown and blonde ombre. I used  the red gloss over my blonde to create a red ombre effect similar to the color Lily Collins has in the movie.

After applying my foundation I used sultry in the nude tude palette and a fluffy blending brush for a natural smokey eye. I also smoked out my lower lash line. I tight lined and lined my water line with the Rimmel eyeliner. Lily has very thick eye lashes so I used two coats of mascara. With all the fighting and love scenes her cheeks are often blushed so I bronzed liberally over my hair light and cheeks. Using my blush I touched the apples of my cheeks and the top of my nose. I finished up the look by applying the lipstick and balm with my fingers for a very natural wine stained lip.

Definitely try this look! I am loving it for fall not to mention for my inner badass ;)
