A visit from Miho!

This summer our family friend from Sendai Japan came to visit! We had not seen her in over ten years, so it was long overdue to reunite. She had told us that during the tsunami and earthquake they had no water or electricity for three months and had to ration what food they had, and it obviously showed in how skinny she was! It made me think that what if that were to happen to us and what ever was in our house at that time we had to make last three months. It is crazy to think about and also what we take for granted.

 It was the first time any of the kids had met her and they took to her like they had known her all their lives! That's how wonderful she is! The kids also enjoyed all the origami she taught them!

 She absolutely LOVES American food, so of course we took her out to splurge!!!!

 All in all it was a wonderful visit and I just love her so much! She is such a special lady with such a kind and loving heart!

Yummy Quesadillas

I think I have found my favorite quesadilla recipe! I use corn tortillas and brush on an oil mixture of 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1/4 cup of Basil and 1/8 cup of chopped chives that I have pureed in a food processor. and then lay the brushed oil side down on the indoor grill and add some shredded cheddar and slices of ham and then some more shredded cheddar and then another tortilla topped with a brushing of the oil mixture and then cook till golden brown on one side then flip and grill the other side til golden brown! Absolutely DELICIOUS!

The one I keep going back to

No matter how many foundations I try, I keep going back to this one. I have a very sensitive face, one that is prone to breakouts and allergic rashes and this one always works great for me. My face always seems to stay clear when I use this and I like the slight glow it provides on my face also, its seems to highlight automatically where I would like it to. It is very easy to apply and comes in a good range of shades in my opinion. I like that I can just stick it in my purse and apply when I need touch ups also. It is made by Philosophy and called The supernatural, It is a mineral makeup and I haven't had lots of luck with mineral makeups before in the past, but this one I have really enjoyed. I get it from the Sephora store in our local JcPenneys.

Holiday nails!

I really love this nail polish from Ulta called After Party! Its very festive and sparkles so much. I put two coats on to achieve an amount of sparkle I was happy with!
