Peppers and Onions: Another food post...

I love peppers and onions subs, it is definitely one of my favorite things to cook for myself. Tonight, after a long night at work, I decided to do just that.



I like to keep my recipes fairly simple while still tasting delicious so this really isn't difficult to make at all. I never have sub rolls so I just toast some bread and fold that once i'm ready to eat them (hence while they're flat in this photo). Anyways I'll tell you how I made this because I seriously love this and I know someone else is bound to as well.
To start I just heat a pan with a bit of oil, the amount I use depends on how many peppers and onions i'm throwing in, for this amount I used about 1 and 1\2 tablespoons. Once that is heated I throw in the peppers and onions and (if I have it) minced garlic. I let that cook for a couple of minutes more if they're frozen vegetables.
Now this time I did something a little different, so once they were almost cooked I added some sliced up pepperoni. I let that cook for a couple of minutes longer and while it cooked I put some mustard on my bread and on top of that some ground black pepper. Now back to the peppers and onions (and now pepperoni) I add a couple of teaspoons of balsamic vinegar  and then pepper and salt (I use a seasoning salt with a few other spices) to taste. I take it off the heat, mix it together really well, and then I put it on my bread, fold, and enjoy!

The combination of the mustard (if you have a sweeter palette or want to try something different a honey mustard is great in place of normal) and balsamic is delicious and the addition of the pepperoni this time was really nice but it definitely tastes great without them too.

I promise it looks way longer/harder than it really is!

Anyways, more posts soon!

Wish List - Orange Lippy's

So last spring I decided that my love of the color orange should spread from just the occasional shirt or accessory to my lips. I picked up Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti which come out a sheer orange-coral color. I absolutely loved it. It was perfect to try the orange lip look and see if it suited me, after all orange is quite daring, but lip butters are generally sheer. As with all of the Revlon Lip Butters I found the color buildable and I can get a somewhat substantial orange color from this lippy.
I apologize for how terrible the colors came out on these, I forgot to reset my white balance and it's too late to fix it now.... because I'm lazy.
Anyways this is the only orange color I have and I definitely want more.

The left is one swipe of tutti frutti, the middle is the color with more build, and the last is Flame by Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain


So i'm starting a wish list;
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Siren
NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Pumpkin
Mac in Morange














And that's all I have so far but that's because i'm finding nice orange lip colors hard to come by.

Blonde, Purple, Grey, Brown.

Blonde
Over the past week I have really put a strain on my hair. The beginning of the week I toned it in the hopes of lightening the yellow/orange tones as much as possible because my boyfriend wanted to try and help me dye it lilac. Now, the lilac didn't come out how I wanted but I knew that before I started dying it, however the color was quite nice and I didn't mind it.
My apologies for the terrible quality (and color) of these pictures my phone is really awful and I didn't have my camera charged
It was purple in some spots and orange in others, and after a couple of days it started to turn a bit grey so I dyed over it.
I went over it with a medium ash brown, pretty much my natural hair color, probably a bit lighter but it will do. It went a little green on the ends that were still purple-y when it was dyed, but it's really only noticeable in florescent lighting.
I'm sure my hair is glad that this is all over for now
Now, I will come up with something to review soon, maybe the BedHead Tigi Dumb Blonde, it was certainly the most helpful product I have bought recently and it definitely saved my hair,
That's all for now, more posts soon.

I think the brown makes me look a bit less pale and deathly ill, what do you think?

Thanksgiving

Just a quick update, I've been away from home due to Thanksgiving holiday. I've been hanging around my boyfriends being lazy about everything. A new post will be up as soon as I am home!
