I used to have naturally long and thick lashes but lately I've noticed them getting a little thinner. This isn't good because my eyes have always been my best feature so keeping my lashes long and thick is a major priority for me. Having my lashes loose some of its fullness was bad enough so imagine how awful it is to see that my naturally thick eyebrows are starting to thin out as well. Aging totally sucks, right?!?!?!

But after a few weeks of using a new product, Vera Botanics Lash & Brow Serum, I feel like my brows and lashes are slowing starting to come back to me. What I love about this product is that it goes on smooth and doesn't feel tacky once it's taken some time to dry. Unlike other lash serums that I've used this one doesn't make my lashes brittle or have them fall out. This is a high potency serum that will nourish and soften lashes, giving you a boost in their appearance for a thicker and longer look.



The recommended us is at least twice a day for 60 days, which is why my results aren't spectacular yet, but I plan on using it for at least that long to see how if it's giving me the look that I want. This is totally the year that I'm ending on a good note. I've lost tons of weight, I'm getting my mental health in check and now, I'm focusing on my best feature: my face!

If you need to give your brows and lashes some love so that you're not spending tons of money on extensions and eyebrow pencil head on over to Amazon and give these a go!

I just found this new hair serum and I'm IN LOVE! It controls frizz and it makes my hair look shiny, silky and tamed! But what I love the most is that it's all natural ingredients so the formula is very light and non-greasy at all, check it out! https://amzn.to/2MFJa6B

I'm just going to say it, carbs are my best friend. They make me sluggish, tired and do nothing for my waistline but they taste so good that it's hard to not eat. But because I love to torture myself in order to break bad habits I have officially cut carbs off for the month of February.

When I first moved to LA I did the South Beach Diet and it helped me lose my sweet tooth (I rarely eat sweets or desserts) and got me into veggies because I was never really a fan. I also learned how to cook fish which I was never able to master before.

I mentioned this to a few coworkers and they said it was a great thing to do but eating healthy is so expensive. NOT TRUE! Especially here in Los Angeles where we have access to the best produce for almost half the cost of what it is in NYC. I managed to do groceries for the next two weeks and only spent $42. I may have to grab more sparkling water--if I can' have champagne, I still need bubbles--and a few avocados but I'm trying to stick to Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet while not going broke.

Tonight I made a really tasty dinner which I also plan on having for lunch tomorrow. It's my first time making Mahi-Mahi so I was excited to taste it. Needless to say it was amazing and I can't wait to have it again tomorrow. As per usual, I'm not a measurer (I will work on this, I promise) so you can eyeball the ingredients like I did.



Now what I really love about getting back into cooking is having my recipes ready to share online or in my kitchen. I've never really felt that the things I made deserved a nice display, or a card even, but now thats all changed. I recently got this super cute recipe box that I can't wait to fill up with all of my tasty recipes.



This recipe box by Polite Society comes in a nice tin container that is rust proof, so there's no need to worry about it being near water. So because of that, if you already have a recipe holder that you love, or simply don't use recipes, you can use this in the bathroom to hold samples, masks, or anything that you want al in one place. I really like the cards that it came with and how it's separated into sections for easy reference and the design is super cute. Now I just have to make sure my handwriting gets 1000 times better so that I don't have to preface every recipe inquiry with "excuse my handwriting". 



Ingredients
Mahi-Mahi Fillet
baby Spinach
3 Garlic Cloves
Cherry Tomatoes
Fresh Parmesan Cheese
Salt
Pepper
Red Pepper Flakes
EVOO
Balsamic Vinaigrette



I bought the fish last night and was so eager to cook it and then I read that it has to thaw in the fridge for at least 8 hours. FAIL! So after letting it sit in the fridge while I was at work it was ready to get cooked.

I put some EVOO in a frying pan and while I waited for it to get hot I seasoned the fillet with salt and pepper.

Up next was throwing it in the pan. I cooked it on one side for about 3 minuted and then turned it over. I put the chopped up garlic in at this point to saute it a bit as well as added the red pepper flakes to the fish.

I can never make a frying pan look glamorous

In the meantime I cut the cherry tomatoes (omg one of them exploded as I cut it and the tiles in my kitchen looked like a murder scene) and added some salt and pepper to give it a bit of flavor.

I'm a tomato addict

Once the fish was cooked I put my spinach and tomatoes in a bowl, added the parmesan cheese, sauteed garlic from the pan and then the star of the show, the Mahi-Mahi.

Spinach is so tasty and pretty

In my past life, I was a mouse. I heart cheese

It was delicious, quick and I can't wait to have it for lunch tomorrow. I'm glad I was able to make something aside from grilled chicken and veggies that is really tasty and carb free.

So. Much. Yum.

It's not lost on me that there's an avocado in the shot. Originally I was going to put some in it and save the other half for lunch tomorrow but I didn't want oxidation to ruin the color of my amazing lunch so I'll reserve serving with with avocados when I make this for more than one person.

pin me :-)

I love decorating and the easiest way to do it is by hanging photos up. It makes decorating nice and easy because nothing is in the way and I get to showcase photos that I've taken or have pictures of my family.

A cool thing about Picture Perfect Hanger is that it lets you have pictures in different levels and spaced out how you want so you don't have to be stuck with a generic layout. Or, even worse, with the photo not being exactly where you want because you put the nail in the wrong spot!



This adjustable picture hanger takes the stress, time and hassle  out of hanging multiple picture frames.  Just nail it up and move your frames in any direction with the touch of a finger.
