Mellow Yellow

I hope everyone had a great holiday season.  Between the holidays and work, I have been running around like crazy.  I am happy to say that I got a new camera, and an iphone 4s, so my blog pictures will be much better quality.

While shopping the after Christmas sales, I have been gravitating to the yellows in the stores.  After seeing the color in at least 3 stores, its safe to say that it will be a big color for the spring.  I am usually not a big fan of yellow on me because I have a yellow undertone, but I had to pick these two up.

Merry Christmas

Easy as Pie

This is my go to dessert. If you've ever been to O'Charley's then you will recognize this pie. It's the ooey gooey caramel pie (minus the pecans), and its so yummy and extremely easy to make.

What you'll need:

Graham cracker pie crust

2 cans sweetened condensed milk

Cool Whip

Chocolate chips

The most time consuming part is making the caramel. All you have to do is boil the cans of sweetened condensed milk for 4 hours, making sure that the water stays above the top of the cans.

Remove from the water and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.  Carefully remove the caramel from the cans since it will still be pretty hot.  Take a few spoonfuls for yourself Add to the graham cracker crust, and allow to cool for a few hours.  I usually cool mine overnight.

It doesn't have to be perfect since it will be covered by the whipped cream,

 and then the chocolate chips.  I love chocolate chips so I add a lot.

So easy and everyone will love it!

Currently Loving, Christmas Edition

You may remember when I did this post over the summer.  This is what I am currently loving this month.


Online shopping.  I love the mall, just not this time of year.

Red Nails-- I usually like to mix it up, but I have done red nails for 2 weeks straight.

This is one of those free sephora samples with a glitter polish from ulta. 

OPI's Woka Woka from the Muppet collection.  This is a beautiful polish in person.  I added the snowflake.  I always have to do something different with my ring finger.

Peppermint bark from Williams-Sonoma.  This stuff is so good.

This beautiful red dress from Asos.  

Starbucks' nonfat no-whip peppermint white chocolate mocha.  I am afraid to look at the calories in it, I can't give it up.

 Pink cameras.  I've told my husband all I want for Christmas is a new camera.  I had a canon before, and I think its a great camera.  Here are the top contenders.

And just in case my husband wants to really splurge, the Nikon 1.

Holiday Cheer

Hands down best egg nog ever-- Southern Comfort vanilla spice

My husband always gets extra to freeze and drink throughout the year.

Holiday Movies

This is my favorite time of the year.  I especially love all the Christmas movies on tv.  Here are my top 10 favorite Christmas movies.


#10.I know some may not consider this a Christmas movie, but it does occur during Christmas time.  Plus, I named my dog after one of the characters, so its close to my heart.

#9. The TV movie trifecta

#8. The Muppets rock, especially Miss Piggy

#7. I love all the music in this one.  If you are a musical fan, this is a great movie.

#6. 

#5. 

#4.

#3. 

#2. Cartoon version all the way for me.  Although Sue Sylvester was a very good grinch on Glee last year.

#1. I can watch this movie again and again. I watch it on TBS every year.
