What I have Been Up To

For the last few days the blog was down due to some issues with the domain hosting switch. All is back to normal, except, my computer is acting up and my boyfriend and I are trying to fix things. Computer stuff just makes me angry, I don't understand a lot of it which just puts me on edge!


Enough of that! So last weekend my boyfriend did the second day of shooting for a music video he is working on. He needed hair and makeup for the actress. A nice girl came down to do hair and I lined up a makeup artist. Well, the makeup artist did not show up, I was put on makeup duty to create a simple alien queen look and the actress and I are totally different colors. I had new brushes, new liner and she had her own base so I did what I could given such a short notice and not much to work with. We know the actress, she was really sweet and sportive about the whole thing.



After the day long shoot and dinner I bought drinks and snacks for me and the boyfriend-director. I bought the seasonal flavor of Mike's Hard Lemonade which is strawberry - really good! A lot better than the pink ribbon blend last year and a few others I have tried.


This week I tried recreating the 'super bird' sandwich from Denny's for dinner. I made a few adjustments though. I used Monterrey jack cheeze and a whole grain bread. I used Smart Bacon, Tofurky slices, organic tomatoes and Earth Balance spread on the outsides of the bread to get them toasty. My boyfriend was pleased!


I just tired the new Tapatio Fritos - yummy! The leave a trail of heat behind! I will be eating more maybe with a Mike's Hard Strawberry Lemonade!

Vegan Easter "Basket" Giveaway! CLOSED!!!!

Easter is almost here! I love Easter - for me it is not a religious thing but a Easter Bunny thing! My boyfriend and I exchange baskets and Mar gets his own basket full of kitty wonderful stuff! I wanted to spread the Spring time cheer with a Vegan Easter "Basket" giveaway...Why the "Basket" - I cannot mail a basket without fears of it being crushed - you get a Easter gift bag!

I bought some of my fave items that are vegan and that I use daily. Not to mention some vegan sweets to give you a sugar buzz. I will also throw in a copy of my latest zine The Easy Vegan! Here are some the things you will get:
I use this eyeliner every day. It gives me the perfect cat eye wing each time! You get it in black - the color I use of course!


To get the eyeliner to stick I coat my lid with this primer, I started using it even before Urban Decay stated that their Primer Potion was not vegan after all.

I blogged about complexion perfection before - I love this stuff!


This contest is open to everyone. To enter please leave me a comment below telling me what your favorite Spring time activity is. Please have a way for me to contact you, via your blog link or email address.

In The Front Yard Today

Here are a few pictures I randomly took in the front yard today. I love this weather!


We have a bird family that built their new house right next to the front door! We hear birds coming and going all day long! I think it is rather cute!


Some flowers that poped up over night due to the nice weather! I hope more come up soon!



Mar enjoying the nice weather and checking out the cats across the street!

Updates

I switched domain name providers after reading about GoDaddy's founder slaughtering elephants. I am now with Namecheap . The transition was pretty smooth - it required a lot of emails and some configuring, nothing scary!


Also over the weekend I produced my first zine. This has been something I wanted to do for many years. It was so fun I am working on more zine ideas. You can pick up a copy in my Etsy shop.

Look out later this week for a new giveaway! I have a vegan Easter bag full of my favorite vegan cosmetics from E.L.F. and vegan sweets! Yay!

Friday Is Now Known As Vegan Pizza Day!

The last few Friday nights have been vegan pizza and beer night. As you can tell I like a thick bubbly crust, my tips to get your crust like this is to use your hands - do not roll it out. I also coat my finger tips with olive oil to work the dough. After getting the ball into a circle shape I put it on my pan and push the dough from the middle out to create a thicker outside rim. It is all pretty simple!

Daffodils

I love bright happy flowers! I love them from my garden or when I find a bunch of buds for cheap, bring them home, cut the tips and they bloom overnight! These beautiful daffodils came from Trader Joe's for around $1.50! Score!
