Cloud Lights from PInterest!

Pinterest has endless amounts of inspiration and DIY ideas that are simply the best. I came accross this how-to on my dashboard, and thought that this was the coolest idea for DIY home decor! Perfect for room decorations in your little one's room or playroom. Here are the intrustions:

Cloud Lights - First, you need some cotton batting, a paper lantern, and three flameless candles, the type that Glade sells. Pull at the cotton batting until it looks fluffy, light, and cloud-like. Then, hot glue it to the outside of the paper lantern in various places. Make sure it´s fluffed to your liking, then light the lights and stick them inside. Hang the lantern wherever you´d like....don't know what I'd do with these but cool!

Sesame Quinoa Spring Rolls

Does that not sound absolutely delicious?! It's not only the tastiest meal, but is also the healthiest. Qinuoa consists of the 9 essential amino acids, as well as vitmains and minerals that we need daily. It is also very high in protein and fiber. With that being said, sesame quinoa spring rolls are the perfect snack to make for your health. 

Sesame Quinoa Spring Rolls
(makes 10 pieces)

Ingredients

2 cups red quinoa

3 cups water

4 handfuls of greens

10 rice paper wrappers

Dressing:

4 Tbs. rice vinegar

5 Tbs. soy sauce

2 tsp. minced garlic

2 Tbs. minced ginger

4 tsp. sesame oil

Rinse and drain the quinoa and cook for 12 minutes in 3 cups of water. While quinoa cooks, make the dressing, cut up the greens and whisk the greens and dressing together in a bowl. Once quinoa is done, combine it with the dressed greens.

Before assembling the spring rolls,  fill a square pan with water.  Then soak a wrapper for 30 seconds or until it begins to soften. Don’t let it sit for too long because it will soften and fall apart. Place the wet rice wrapper on a flat surface and with a spoon fill the wrapper with about 3 Tbs. of the lettuce-quinoa mixture. Fold the edges over and roll into a spring roll.  Repeat by soaking another rice wrapper and wrapping it. Keep going until all the filling has been used.

Givenchy

Fashionspot.com made a quick article about how fashion is taking an "Out of This World" turn into space. Much of the designs on runways exude bright vibrant colors, futuristic materials, and galaxy prints. These Givenchy boots were in the bunch for that futuristic feel, and I absolutely fell in love with these! These boots retail for about $1890. Whoa. They are perfect to pair with skinny jeans, knee hem skirts, or dresses! Almost remind me of our Candela over the knee boots  

Natural Radiance

We all strive for perfect smooth skin. There are countless remmedies, creams, ointments and masks that promise you what you have always desired. As convincing as these product companies may be, the ultimate essential to having clearer, more radiant skin is what you put in your mouth. 

    Eating greasy, proccessed, fake foods won't get you any step closer to an even tone. What you put in your body will always effect and reflect on the outside. Eating healthy is extremely important to not only your general health, but for you skin. 

    Here are some healthy tips on how to better serve the skin you're in:

 1. Veggies. They may be the cliche universal law for health, but they are crucial for having clear skin. Steam 1 cup a broccoli a day and add it to your meal. 

2. Fish Oil. Take 1 every morning! Super simple, and super good for your skin

3. Try a gluten free diet. Yes, it is challenging because it seems as though anything and everything consists of wheat or gluten, however, the results with leave you feeling like you have more energy, will help you look those few extra pounds, and will help even your skin pH balance and overall look. 

4. Eat organic. It's worth it and is beneficial in many different areas aside from helping your skin become more healthy.
