Turkey and Brown Rice Stuffed Peppers

I love a quick meal. Make it healthy AND delicious and I am all in. I saw a post on Tastespotting for stuffed peppers and immediately got a craving. I wanted to make mine super healthy and something that my husband and kids would both eat.

I changed my stuffed peppers from using beef to ground turkey. I also used brown rice instead of white rice for the added nutrition and fiber. For my two boys I gave them the filling minus the peppers and they loved it. A few carrots on the side and they also have a complete meal.

This meal is super filling and since you have all food groups represented, you can be in and out of the kitchen in no time. Enjoy!

The Best Place to Buy False Eyelashes

I love false eyelashes.  These magical strips can transform anyone's look from pretty to gorgeous in a lash adhesive applied hot second.  

When I first started wearing false eyelashes I used to head to the MAC counter to have them applied for me.  The makeup artists there are very talented and will usually add a little liner and shadow at no additional cost, but at $16 a set, in my opinion, they are a bit pricey.   Yes, lashes can be used more than once but the first time is generally the best.  Since I am a YouTube junkie I found several videos on how to apply false lashes.  They are informative and give great tips on application.  Here are links to a couple of my favorites from stillGLAMORUS  and nurberxo both who provide detailed instructions and helpful tips.  Thanks to beauties like these gals I have become a bit of a lash junkie and regularly use false lashes to add a little something extra to my look.

Victoria's Secret Glossy Tint Lip Sheen - Review

I am an absolute sucker for lip products.  Whenever something new comes out I always want to try it.  Problem is, I am a nude lip kind of a girl.  I have dozens and dozens of nude lipsticks and have many favorites, but rarely do I spend money on other color simply because I don't wear them.  

Several days ago I was shopping at Victoria's Secret and while waiting to pay there were several beauty products for customers to browse.  The standard beauty products are only four for $20.  As I was browsing, I saw these pretty lip tints in great colors and decided to not by four different nude products but rather buy four different shades and start mixing up my mundane lip routine a bit.

I purchased the four colors offered.  They are as shown below and can also be found on the Victorias Secret website here:
1) Knockout Red
2) Better Than Bare
3) Manic Pink
4) Boudoir Pink

Review: L'Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Aqua Lacquer Lipgloss

I was at my neighborhood Rite Aid and saw these pretty glosses in gold tubes and was super excited to try them.  They had three pluses right away:  pretty colors, pretty packaging and the were from L'Oreal whose makeup I tend to think is consistently above average in terms of quality.  Rite Aid was having a BOGO deal on all L'Oreal products so I picked up three of these new glosses and one of my tried and true favorite felt tip L'Oreal eyeliners.

I have to say since swatching these and trying these on once, I haven't used them any more. I am not impressed with anything regarding these glosses.  Unfortunately they are one giant disappointment.  The two things I was looking for in these glosses - pigmentation and smooth feel, they just don't have.

Best Brownie Recipe

My son came home the other day and begged for brownies.  Apparently one of his classmates had a birthday and the treat they brought in was a brownie which created a craving for him.  I completely get this as I have this reaction frequently when eating something yummy so I quickly did a search on the computer for a quick, easy brownie recipe.

The search landed me on AllRecipes.com to a recipe called, "Best Brownies" which had 4.5 stars out of 4,962 reviews.  Now, I always look at reviews but I have never seen a recipe ranked so high with that many reviews.  I knew I found my recipe.  I also love that everything is on hand and you don't have to use a mixer which is always a plus as far as I am concerned.

I made the brownies, they were fantastic and one of the things I liked best about them was the frosting you put on top of them while they are still warm.  The warmth from the brownies allows the frosting to ooze into this decadent treat.  Try them, if you don't believe me trust the 4,962 reviews.
