I found something for you..

Check out this cute leatherette skirt...
It's at Forever21 for only $22.80!!!!! It would make a cute NYE skirt. It would most likely be way too short for me, but maybe you can pull it off!

Pillow Talk: Luv these!

Happy Tuesday

3 days to Turkey Time

The countdown to Thanksgiving is on!!!!! Well, it's been on for me since Halloween. I will making a road trip home instead of flying--because I have to bring home leftovers.

So this week I will share some of the meals that make my family's Thanksgiving menu.

I hate it when they do this..

So I'm looking online for a cute top to wear to a casual holiday party. I find this one, which I love!!!! BUT.......

I click on the image to find that it's completely SOLD OUT! What's up with that?! Take the pic down ShopDetour...you got my hopes up for nothing! :(

Remember Her?

Remember Michelle from Destiny's Child. Well she just did a FAB photo shoot with famed photographer Derek Blanks....

How Sweet..

So I'm reading all of the updates on FB this morning. And I found this one...

"Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve and too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity. As a member of Kappa Alpha Psi the term "Diamonds are forever' was instilled in me. Tina hopefully our relationship can be like that Diamond. So should i say A Princess Cut for my Princess. Hope you enjoyed everything yesterday."

Nice.

Getting it back together

Over the past several weeks, I've come to realize how easy it can be for women to loose sight of themselves when they get heavily involved with someone.

In addition to moving, starting a new job, finishing school and trying to establish a name for myself in a new city, I am also in the middle of what is turning into the most beautiful relationship of my life. But I have to admit, it's work!

Not the tedious, "oh, here he comes again...let me cook, shave and smile" type of work. But the excitement of wanting to spend so much time and energy with him. I'm loving it, but it's taking away from "ME" times..or as I like to call it "E-time."

However, instead of shaving time off, I've decided it's time to balance. Before, I had no one to consider but myself. Now, it's time that I learn to juggle the new demands of my life--including the newest component of my social life. And I'm actually looking forward to it...

Lovin' these Louboutins

The ones in the middle are my fav.

So Good

I never pretend to be the best cook but when I cook what I cook, I cook it well:)

My fav thing that's quick and easy is green bean casserole.

Mr. Hailey "claims" he won't eat it. We'll see...he will come around.

Anyway, with Thanksgiving just days away...if you're looking for a last minute dish to add to your menu. Try this...it takes about 35-40 min (including prep time).
I made it for our work dinner today...and it was a BIG hit!

1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup (Regular or 98% Fat Free)
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Dash ground black pepper
4 cups cooked cut green beans
1 1/3 cups French's® French Fried Onions

Stir the soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, beans and 2/3 cup onions in a 1 1/2-quart casserole.
Bake at 350°F. for 25 minutes or until the bean mixture is hot and bubbling. Stir the bean mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining onions.

Bake for 5 minutes or until the onions are golden brown.

For Broccoli Casserole, substitute 4 cups cooked broccoli flowerets for the green beans.
For cheese lovers, stir in 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese with soup. Omit the soy sauce. Sprinkle with an additional 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese when adding the remaining onions.
To add a festive touch, stir in 1/4 cup chopped red pepper with the soup.
To add crunch, add 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds to the onion topping.
For bacon lovers, add 2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled, to the bean mixture.
For Golden Green Bean Cassrole, substitute Campbell's® Condensed Golden Mushroom Soup for the Cream of Mushroom Soup. Omit the soy sauce.

RECIPE TIPS
Tip: Use 1 bag (16 to 20 ounces) frozen green beans, 2 packages (9 ounces each) frozen green beans, 2 cans (about 16 ounces each) green beans or about 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans for this recipe.

Ok. So check out this ring...

It belongs to Kim from the Atl Housewives. While I don't agree with the story behind it, I can't deny that THIS is a ring.

My ideal ring...is a lot smaller and A LOT less gaudy....but I too would love a cushion cut stone.

But no platinum for me though...give me white gold. Platinum scratches too easily...and unlike Ms. Kim, I work hard everyday.

But you can't deny, this is a nice ring!
