Update on Tarte MultiplEYE eyelash enhancer

Okay, my camera isn't working right now so I can't upload the new pictures of my peepers. I will when I can figure out what the deal is with the camera. Until then, know this: Tarte MultiplEYE eyelash enhancer really does work. No, they haven't given me anything or paid me to say this. I don't even know anyone from Tarte...but wish I did. My eyelashes are so long and full. I have had three people, independent of each other notice. Usually something like, "Wow, I've never noticed before, but you have really long eyelashes!" Yesssss. The box says it takes 6 weeks to get full results but the three people that commented on my lashes did so after about 3 weeks. I'm well past the 6 week point and don't apply it as religiously as I should but I'm extremely satisfied with this product. It gets my stamp of approval. I can't wait to show you pictures!

Update on the Clinique Acne System

Siiigghhhhh, so as you know, I decided to give the Clinique Skin Care System a try because my adult acne, in 4 words, is ri-dic-u-lous. When I went to the counter, the lady recommended the acne system over the traditional 3 step systems because...well, acne is my problem. I regret to inform my reader (yes, one) that I returned it today. Not only did my acne not go away, it actually got worse. I was expecting this for a couple weeks but I've been using it over a month and, in my dear friend Ester's words, "It's worse, to tell you the truth" Ah, what would I do without honest friends? Anyway, I returned it today and since I bought it during some sort of promotion, I had to exchange it for something instead of getting a refund. So...I'm trying the 3 step system for combination/oily skin. Let's see if this does anything different. I will update you on THAT later.

Happy 2 Years!

Happy 2 year Anniversary to us! Our 2nd anniversary was on March 25th, 2010. I can't even believe it's been that long. But it's great. I never believed people had soul mates until I met mine. Mike and I are meant to be. Someone once told me (while trying to talk me into breaking up with an ex boyfriend) that I would know when I met the one for me because there would be absolutely no doubt about it. I never thought that would happen but now when people ask if I ever wonder if Mike is the one, I can honestly say no. I never wonder if there are other fish in the see or something better because there isn't. Mike is the one! I love him and I can't wait for many more anniversaries to come!

I'm back! With a new recipe!!!

So our internet hasn't been working...let me clarify our NEIGHBOR's internet hasn't been working :P and therefore, I haven't been able to update. But I wanted to post a recipe that I tried this last week and found to be delicious!!! Mike ate it up too, which isn't saying much since he eats everything. Anyway, it's called Chicken Burrito Bake. I know, the idea of pouring alfredo sauce on burritos is a little off-putting, but it's awesome, trust me!!!

As you may or may not know, I don't measure anything most of the time, I just approximate. Trust your eyeballs as measuring cups:

CHICKEN BURRITO BAKE

A little more than 2 cups shredded chicken (I bought a rotisserie chicken from Costco)

1 Jar Tomatillo salsa (the green salsa)

1 container of refrigerated-type alfredo sauce (It's important to get the refrigerated kind as it has a different taste and is usually better quality than the kind in the spaghetti aisle. I used Butoni by the refrigerated pasta)

A few handfuls of mexican blend shredded cheese

4-5 tortillas

Sour cream and sliced avocados for seving

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees

Okay, in a large bowl, mix the chicken, half the cheese, and about a cup of the tomatillo salsa until the chicken is well coated.

Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture into the middle of each tortilla, roll each up into a burrito and place snugly in a baking dish.

In the same bowl that you mixed the chicken, mix the whole container of alfredo and the other half of the cheese and pour it over the burritos. If you want, pour a little more of the salsa over the top.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbling. Top with sliced avocados and sour cream!
