Outside of the Frames: Nail Polish Rack

This rack is amazing for organizing my nail polishes. I bulit and painted the rack with my Dad. I had seen different ideas on pinterest of nail polish racks and decide to create my own. It turned out really well thanks to my Dad's handy man skills.

Outside of the Frames: Tie Dying


Here are some photos of my tie dying, I did a few weeks ago. Hope you enjoy!!

I love this shirt it reminds me of fireworks.

This is my favorite of the two!! It turned out so well!!

There's actually one more T-shirt but its in the wash, so I will post a picture later. 

I am thinking about cutting these t-shirts and doing a DIY. Maybe making one of them into a razor back tank top. What do u think should I leave them or cut them?

Outside of the Frames: Makeup

Yesterday I was at Sephora and picked up, the Bareminerals Wanderlust Topics Collection. I Love all the products in this collection. The product are perfect for creating that topicial sunkissed glow on your face. I love the paisley makeup bag that comes with the collection it sort of reminds me of something from Vera Bradley.  These are my first products from Bareminerals, I am so excited to try them out tomorrow.

Have you ever tried Bareminerals products? What are your thoughts on them?

Have a wonderful night!!

Outside of the Frames: Cooking Delicious food

Last night I wanted to try making some different. So I found a recipe for Artichoke and Chicken. I changed the recipe to make it work, with what I had. 


Ingredients for 2 people


- 2 Artichokes
- 1 Garlic
- 1/2 of a medium sized Onion
- 1 Lemon
- White Wine
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 packet of Chicken fillets  
- Tablespoon of Red Pepper Corn


Chicken


First I started off with turning the oven on to 350 degrees. Next I oiled a cooking pan and put the chicken in with a clove of finely chopped garlic. Then I took some montreal steak spice and put it all over the chicken. I put the chicken into the oven to cook for 40 minutes.  


About 26 minutes later I started cooking the Artichokes


Artichokess
I took out a frying pan and chopped 1/2 onion, 2 garlic cloves and 2 Artichokes hearts (make sure not to cut off all the meat of the Artichoke) into the frying pan. I took about a tablespoon of red pepper corn and placed into the pan. I cut up one lemon into finely chopped slices and placed into pan. Then I took white wine and put a few splashes in (under half a glass of white wine). I let cook for about 8 minutes on medium heat and then added another small splash of wine. Then let it cooked for about another 5-10 minutes until little browned. 


I placed the Artichokes onto a dish, then I put the chicken on top of the Artichokes. I took the cooked lemon from the artichokes dish and placed on top of the chicken. After that it was ready to be served. 

This is a wonderful dish that is easy and tasty to make.

Outside Of The Frames: Pilates

So I have been keeping up, with doing Pilates and have been loving it. Today I can across a great channel on Youtube of Pilates workouts.  The channel is called blogilates. Today I started with the beginners video and really enjoyed it. I really felt my muscles working hard to do each movenment. The best part of the workout is, I felt like I had a good workout without any pain.

Outside of the Frames: Skin Care




I was recently at Winners and came across the Korres Pomegranate Regimen Kit for oily and combination skin. I picked up the kit for $16.99, at sephora the kit is $40. I was so glad to find such a great deal.  For some time I have been very curious to try out the Pomegranate line. I was a little bit hesitate to try the line mainly due to the fact that I have dry/combination skin, so I did some research and found that the line is great for people with dry combination skin. So I thought, I would give the line a shot and I am so happy I did because its doing wonders for my skin. 


In the past I have used and been using the Korres: Milk cleanser and the Wild Rose-24-hour moisturizing cream. I have used both products for more then 2 years until I was introduced to Origins. I love the Origins line and have been using it up. I use the origins line with my korres products and now have the most amazing skin care system.

Products in the kit:

Pomegranate Cream-Gel- amazing lit-weight cream that smells so lovely.

Pomegranate Mask- Have not tried it yet but I have a feeling I am going to love it.

Pomegranate Scrub- Love how the scrub is not harsh on my skin.

White Tea Cleanser- The cleanser I have been waiting for all my life- its that good!!

Evening Primrose Eye Cream- Perfect for thoughs dark circles from staying up to late.

Now I have found the perfect Skin care routine.
Whats your perfect Skin Care

Stay beautiful!
