I've said it once, I'll say it again. I love having a job that I get to dress up for! I never have the problem "All dressed and and no where to go". A trend that is just everywhere now is taking your crop top from Summer to Fall. As I said before layering is big this season and this is a perfect way to do so. Its easy too just get out your crisp white blouse and you are ready to go!
It's Getting A Little...Chili
Welcome Fall!
It is an amazing thing to leave for a trip in the summer and come back to a complete season change. I appreciate the chill in the air and need for a sweater just a little bit more. A tradition of mine is to make a huge batch of Chili as soon as Fall starts. Letting the hearty dish simmer for hours and the delicious smell lingering through the house all day really added an extra thrill to welcoming Fall back once more.
Here is my easy and lower cal Chili dish recipe:
- 2 pounds lean ground meat
- A spoonful of chopped garlic
- Half an onion
- 3 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes
- 1 15oz can of tomato sauce
- 3 Tablespoons of Chili Powder
- 2 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp crushed red pepper
- 15 oz spicy chili beans (I don't put these in as both MK and I don't love them in our Chili)
Put some oil in a pot, add the garlic and onion and cook until the onions are translucent. Add you meat and brown, then add your tomatoes, sauce, and everything else.
Signature Scents
As Christine Dior so eloquently put it " A woman's perfume tells more about her than her handwriting". It's true! In my opinion, I feel like one should have a few different scents to choose from. Spritzing my perfume is the last thing I do in the morning before exiting my dressing room. Typically I decide on my scent by what I am wearing. For everyday, I use "Live Colorfully" by Kate Spade. The top notes are mandarin, pink water lily and star anise. When I'm a little more dressed up I usually go for Coco Mademoiselle or Miss Dior. They are similar and both smell so elegant. Top notes of the Chanel are Sicilian oranges, Calabrian bergamot and Sicilian grapefruit. The Dior has a fresh, fruity, citrus prelude into blossoming floral notes.
My favorite? Chanel. Forever. What is your signature scent(s)?
