Hi!

I was thinking about my favorite songs and how I can have a favorite lyric and also have a favorite part of the song that I always listen to.

So for example, video games by Lana Del Rey is one of my favorite songs but my favorite part of the song is the last 24 seconds of the song due to the instrumental [4:18 to the end of the song].

I was kind of curious to hear other people’s favorite songs and maybe your favorite lyric or your favorite part in the song if anyone wants to share!

Thank you for anyone who reads this and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!

Hi!

So my bf and I went to a mall for dinner reservations. We had time to kill to so I decided to go shopping.

He had to leave to go to our reservation and I was still in the dressing room. I don't have time to buy the items but I'm kinda curious which are worth my time to buy and which aren't since I have them on hold!

I asked my bf his opinion but some he liked were some I were iffy on and vice versa so thought might as well get more opinions while I have them on hold.

1. Is a romper. I find it cute and I feel red tights would look cute underneath them maybe?

2. I find this really romantic and maybe for a date idea with black heels and maybe gold or silver accessories? It was hard to put on. I had to get a sales associate to help bc the zipper is hard to reach but easy to take off.

3. I find it to be relaxing and sporty maybe? Idk I usually don't wear skin tone stuff.

4. I find the shirt cute! Idk if the design or the fabric color compliments me, but I don't really have a shirt like this! Wish I was wearing jeans with them or some slacks! Maybe a business casual look?

5. Basic black top which I have a lot of but they are a quarter sleeve. I only showed my midriff a little to show that it was a shirt and not a dress.

Thoughts on what is worth the buy and worth skipping???

Hi!

Since the beginning of this year I’ve been working on a playlist that feels like this. Watery, dreamy, dark, cold and slightly numb. I have a song kinda built around this playlist but I wanted some suggestions.

Thank you for anyone who responds and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!

Edit- the song is digital bath by the Deftones

Hi!

So my boyfriend wanted lasagna soup and I tried my best! I don’t know if I got the best photos.

It was a cozy rainy day and I wanted to make dumpling soup but I did what he wanted lol. I took someone’s advice from a previous post and made this soup less oily (from my chicken noodle soup).

This didn’t take tooooo long to make and the white on top is supposed to be a scoop of ricotta cheese but it just fell in 😐.

I understand the bowls are small but they are snoopy fall themed 😃.

Anyways, thoughts?

Thank you for anyone who reads this and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!

Edit- I forgot to add it was raining yesterday so I made it! Also, I will add the recipe once I am done with my study session!!!

Edit#2- Guys I don’t mean any disrespect to any Italians. It’s ok to be a little non-traditional right?

Can I be forgiven if I said that I have made Ravioli from scratch before 🙂?

Recipe:

Fennel Seeds
Yellow onion or shallots
Minced garlic or chop one yourself lol
Italian sausage
Lasagna pasta noodles (use some pasta water inside the broth)
Tomato paste
Basil
White wine (any white wine will work to deglaze)
Beef broth
Chicken broth
Juice of a lemon
Olive oil
Quarter of butter
Heavy cream
Italian parsley
Fresh parm
Ricotta cheese

Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
Onion powder
A little sage
Basil
Paprika

I’ll add video links but the only think I did differently is warmed fennel seeds in olive oil first to toast them and cooked the Italian sausage in a different pan so they got more crunchy rather than soft. Also, I added white wine after the onions, garlic and fennel seeds were cooked a little. It’s just a DASH LIKE NOT MUCH.

Unfortunately, I never measure unless I’m baking. I go off of vibes and whoever I’m cooking for their taste buds

recipe #1

Hi!

I bought those bandage dress and I’ve never had one before. Should I have gone up another size or it should fit this skin tight?

Anyways, thank you for anyone who responds and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!

Hi!

I am so happy about my hair journey. Just got a silk press after two years after I had heat damage. I asked for not hot comb and a lot of heat protectant.

The only sad thing to me is 1. My wallet (lol) and 2. I have a lot of density but very fine strands. I think that I can’t change that bc it’s genetic.

Other than that I’m very happy and it’s crazy how much shrinkage I have. I’m hoping by next year I’ll be close to lower back to maybe my waist potentially?

I just get scared every time I straighten my hair that it won’t revert back (my biggest nightmare). That’s why I haven’t gotten a hair cut in two years since the last time I got heat damage on my flyaways. Very heartbreaking tbh.

Anyways, thank you for anyone who reads this and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!

Hi!

So I’m not supposed to have any polish on my nails at all but I couldn’t help myself with my birthday coming up and I start school next week. I wanted to de-stress.

Basically, I’m in a graduate medical program and that’s why I can’t/shouldn’t have polish. However, I tried to get the most natural look color to not bring any attention to them.

The first two photos are my before, inspo pictures, and then after ☺️

Thank you so much for anyone who reads this and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!

Edit- hi everyone! I’m in didactic year of school and won’t be seeing patients. It’s just for my birthday. I don’t think I’ll be getting a fill in about 3 weeks to a month bc I’ll be studying. I won’t be using/doing hard gel on my natural nails once I’m in clinical year!!!

Edit#2- I went to a nail salon. I’m not too sure what shade she used bc I asked her to do something close to the natural shade of my nails. I can call the shop to ask as well too!

Edit#3- the shade is DND# 891 Rosy Pink!

Hi!

Felt cute but unfortunately this outfit is for waiting at the DMV. I wanted to share though. I haven’t worn this romper in a good amount of time and today will be 90+ degrees.

Anyways, thank you for anyone who reads this and have an amazing day 🙂

Hi!

So l go on and off getting my nails done because every time I feel like I get my nails done (hard or soft gel) nail beds always are bending, weak and easily chip.

I always work to grow out my nails and leave them be and then they feel so strong and then I wanna get color on them and have them last a good amount of time and they become so brittle.

I'm feeling as if this is maybe due to the e-file and I was curious if I can get builder gel done without the e-file and how that would affect the manicure longevity.

The photos are inspo and the last two photos are my nails currently! Plus, I'm one week out from my birthday!!! My nails grow pretty slow without vitamins.

I wanna go for a more natural look bc I'm in school and they wont allow me to do brighter colors lol.

Thank you for anyone who responds and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!

Edit- Had to repost bc Reddit wasn’t showing all my photos.

Hi!

Last night I made pot roast for the very first time. These are just three different plates from the people who ate it (couldn’t decide what was best).

It’s kinda hard to see as well but there is celery and onions inside too but they became pretty translucent.

Anyways, thoughts? I tried to make the presentation look the best, but some people drowned their food more in the broth (juices???) more than others.

Thank you for anyone who responds and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!

Edit- I added the broccolini in bc I wanted to add back a health factor. So it wasn’t slow cooked in the crock pot. They were just grilled on the side and salted & peppered. Not traditional but yeah 😃

Hi!

I was a little stressed out during shark week. I was going to light this then but forgot to. Also, would have been perfect bc recently where I live a shark was captured on camera jumping behind a child on a surfboard. The child wasn’t harmed though!!!

Scent profile: it’s a lighter scent. Definitely more sweet than salty in my opinion. You DEFINITELY smell the sunscreen and the cream.

Definitely smells like a good smelling person at the beach. Also, the wick is cotton btw but since it’s so light I like it on the warmer more! I love the color cold and warm!!!

Stay safe out at the beaches yall!!!

Hi!

My bf and I had an itch because it was cooler today and was craving egg noodles and I made chicken noodle soup. I garnished with baby dill. Plus we needed to cook some chicken we’ve had in the freezer.

The upper right is some extra chicken I grilled for tomorrow’s dinner (kinda meal prepping) that was just a crunch piece.

I know I posted last with the heart bowls but I just love them so much.

Thoughts?

Hi!

So I made Carnitas yesterday and then broiled them in the oven after. Was wondering what I should do. Tacos, enchiladas, burrito? I’ve never made them before and it took some time and I didn’t think I was going to be able to get the meat so tender.

Thoughts?

Anyways, thank you for anyone who responds and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!

Edit- Yes I made these with no big plan bc I was just craving the meat. I’m sorry lol

Hi!

Been trying to find a food sub and to also make my plates more aesthetically pleasing. I should have gotten a photo of the yolk when I opened it. I’m sorry about that ☹️. Thoughts?

The sauce is a homemade Katsu sauce and I added sesame seeds on top. We wanted to try an alternative panko bread crumb recipe tonight 🙂

Hi!

I just moved out and have been buying bedding for different seasons. These are just sheets and duvets but not even my blankets (I have them stored somewhere else lol).

I have different themes and ideas for different seasons. I kinda want to add something else on my bed with the green. Something to make it more summery. Idk why but I got this idea of having my bed look like a summer camp or log cabin type of thing.

Anyways, I just wanted to share! Thank you for anyone who reads this and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!
