Monday Inspiration

Hello all!

This Friday is the last day of my online English class and I am so excited!

It will be nice to have some more free time and do things for myself. 

Hello manicures and sunshine! :)

Anyways, here are some things that I am obsessing over:

1.  Tory Burch: The Perry Tote

I think that this would be the perfect bag for any working woman 

or for that woman who carries around a lot of stuff in her purse.

What I mean to say is that this purse if perfect for every woman on the planet. 

Found here. 

2. Lilly Pulitzer Skirts

Found here.
She has so many more designs so be sure to check them out!

3. Vera Bradley Backpacks

I just got mine and it is the greatest backpack I have ever owned.
I own so many Vera products it's crazy, but at the same time
I know that her products are high quality so I had no doubt I was
going to fall in love with this backpack!
This backpack holds so much and as a science major who has about
5-6 textbooks per semester that are at least 500 pages, that is saying a lot!

Hurry though!!  This backpack is on sale!! :)  

4. Decorative Pillows 
These are the perfect statement pieces to add to any room.

I may or may not be developing a pillow fetish... ;)

Here are a few other links for fun!

A yummy looking flatbread recipe.

If money grew on trees, I would go for these David Yurman bracelets.

Hope you have a great day!!

It's That Time Again!

Time for another exciting adventure back at school!

17 credits of science, we shall see how this goes! :) 

So today, I simply leave you with this quote and hope 

to inspire all of you that are also going back to school, or

for those that are working and living your dream. :)

Who knew that Disney would be filled with such wisdom? :) 

Hope you have a wonderful Friday and a great weekend!

Well, since it is Friday, how about a few links just for fun?! :)

Chicken with Avocado and Mozzarella Cheese

Hello there!

As promised, I would share some of my photos from one night of making dinner,

so here it is!

Let me just say that it was mucho deliciouso. ;)

Avocados are great on almost everything and are really healthy for you.

Plus, cheese goes good with anything, so therefore it just added more to the chicken.

Aww, my baby is just too excited to eat!! :)

Heehee he is such a cutie! :)

Here is what you will need:

2 Chicken Breast Fillets, halved lengthways
1/2 Cup Plain Flour
2 Tablespoons Fresh Milk
2 Eggs
1 1/2 Cups Dried Breadcrumbs (we used a lot more than this)

(we used whole wheat breadcrumbs and it was delicious!!)

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil/Cooking Spray
1/2 Cup Tomato Pasta Sauce
2 Avocado, Sliced
1/2 Cup Grated Mozzarella Cheese 

This can be paired with a salad or whatever side you love to have with chicken.

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.  Wrap chicken in plastic wrap and pound thin (until about 1/4 " thick) or thin chicken with a rolling pin.  
2. Whisk milk and eggs together.  Put flour and breadcrumbs on two separate plates.  
3. Put chicken in flour first and shake off any excess.  Place chicken in egg mixture making sure entire chicken is covered.  Let excess drip off.
4. Place chicken in breadcrumbs, being sure to put on enough to cover entire chicken (I would even put extra on to make it extra crunchy).  
5. In a 9"X 13" baking dish, lay down a piece of tin foil to cover the entire bottom of your baking dish.  Place chicken on the foil.  Drizzle olive oil on chicken.
6. Bake for four minutes on each side, being sure it is four minutes for each side for an even golden touch to the chicken. Remove chicken from oven.
7. Add tomato pasta sauce, avocados, and cheese to the chicken.  Bake for another 5-7 minutes (we did about ten minutes total after we put on the avocados and stuff just to be on the safe side).  
8. Enjoy your yummy chicken! :)

Looks great, doesn't it!  This has been a family favorite for years!

Hope you have a great day!

which is over half way done with already.  C'est bizarre! ;)

I had a great week and I hope yours was splendid as well!

Here are some things I found this week that I am loving!

1.  26 Halloween Costumes For Toddlers 

As the rest of the title implies, they are just too cute to believe!

or for those hot, muggy days of summer!

It's Friday!!

Happy Friday everyone!!

You made it through the week!!

I hope it was a fabulous week and you have a 

wonderful weekend ahead of you!

I will be going out of town to visit my man!  

I miss him so much!!

Unfortunately at the same time, I will be studying for my

genetics final next week.  

I just can't believe how fast this summer has gone by so far!!

This past week, I was so inspired by many ideas,

so get ready for lots of random and cool stuff! :)

1. Hunter Purple Rain Boots

As a college student, I need to walk around campus even when it is

pouring rain outside!  

These Hunter boots are both stylish and perfect for those wet days.

2. Ice Cream Invitation Cards

I saw this idea and immediately started day dreaming about 

when I have kids one day!  ;)

How adorable are these cards?!  I think cards would be such 

a fun idea to do for those I care about.  And how thoughtful is a home-

made card? :)

3. 8 Hair Styles Every Girl Should Know

These gorgeous hair ideas are from Style Me Pretty,

need I say more? ;)

4.  A Quick and Delicious way to make breakfast!

How smart is this?!   Looks super easy and delicious!

Recipe found here. 

5. Minty Manicures

This would be a great idea for spring, but I think for the summer time as well.

You can never go wrong with Essie nail polish!

Essie is seriously found everywhere.

6. Big Juicy Burgers.

I. Love. Burgers.  

It is kind of bad how much I love burgers and eat them like

all the time. 

Not exactly setting a good model for my future patients, am I? ;)

This burger is from Food and Wine.

And speaking of wine... ;)

Anyways, I hope all of you have a terrific weekend of R&R!

Looking Good, Girl!

Hello, everyone!

I have been inspired by many different looks to add to my wardrobe 

and to try soon! 

From nail ideas to how to dress in the fall,

I am ready to rock 'n roll! ;)  

Here are just a few of the looks I have really liked to far.

I love these two nail ideas, perfect for summer!  So much fun!

Holy smoky eye look!  I really like the purple eye shadow here!

This would complement my pretty green eyes.  ;)  

I want this skirt so bad!!  

My favorite part about this outfit is the scarf!  This would be great for when 

fall first starts up!  

Another great fall outfit!  Simple, yet super cute!

Sometimes the simpler, the better!

I also think these pizzas from Food and Wine would be delicious!  

Dinner tonight?  We shall see. :)  

Hope you have a great Monday!  Here's to a great start to the week!

Cupcake Art

Lately, I've been bombarded with many cute ideas on how 

to decorate cupcakes!!

The videos I have watched so far have made this look super easy, 

but I'm sure it's one of those things that takes a long time to truly master.

Nevertheless, if I had the choice to eat sweets all the time, breakfast, lunch,

and dinner, I totally would. 

But I guess I will have to limit myself. ;)

Here are some cute ideas I saw on Pinterest.

Seriously though, how cute are these?!  I could spend all day making these cupcakes! :)

I especially think the third one would be great for the Fourth of July, 

which is next Friday already.  Bonkers!

This is what happens when I have to take Genetics over the summer, 

I lose touch with reality. ;)  

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Stuffed Pasta Shells with Spinach and Ricotta Cheese

I love food.  So much.  There is nothing more satisfying than to have a

fantastic meal at the end of the day.

From bacon to burgers to pasta, you name it, I will probably eat it.

 

I especially love to experiment in the kitchen and

whip up something delicious.

One of the things I recently made is these stuffed pasta shells!

Mouth watering, right?

Be sure to add lots of cheese, cause cheese

makes everything taste better! ;)

Here is the recipe.

I made this a long time ago, so I don't have my images to put up,

so I linked you back to the website. :)

So delicious!! Will be a hit and people will want you to make this again!

Hope you have a wonderful night!
