ROAD TRIP!!

What you need for a road trip!

For those of you that don’t know I’m on my way to California from Phoenix AZ!

I have not done the 5-hour drive for a few months, but this time ill have a passenger!

Last night we planned on what was needed for this road trip!

Music:

We made 2 CD’s

1.Kelly Clarkson’s Stronger, new one has some great driving songs

2.Adele CD 21.

3. We are also bringing the IPod to connect to the car when the radio goes out some where in the middle of the desert!

Snacks:

Make sure you have something to snack on incase there’s nowhere to get food when you get hungry. Or for us when we get bored! Don’t forget drinks, if bringing water pack your BOBBLE!!

Car:

Make sure to get your car looked at before driving long distance; last thing you want is to be stuck on a two lane road in the middle of nowhere, scary movie status!!

Packing:

Depends on how long your staying, pack what you know you will need and a few extra articles of clothing incase something comes up, like weather change or dinner plans. My advice do not pack the night or hour before you leave, like I do.

Phone:

Make sure you have one and make sure it’s charged!

Fun:

Try and make your road trip as fun as you can! I hate being in the car but bringing someone with me will make that better! Don’t for get its okay to stop!

* WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR ROAD TRIP IDEAS *

GOING GREEN WITH WATER BOBBLE & MORE!!

LETS GO GREEN!

So many people these days are going green!

Some times it feels harder then it truly is.

Start with something small and work your way up.

The first thing I did when trying to go green was, stop using plastic water bottles.

The pink one i have!

I used a filtered pitcher (it took up a lot of room it my collage fridge) but it was worth it.

I saved so much money on not buying water bottles and was saving the world one glass of water at a time. 

Then I was introduced to the Water Bobble, best little thing around!

The one Sophia Bush created!

It’s a water bottle that filters as you drink, and in Arizona it’s a lifesaver.

You can fill it up anywhere because it filters the water for you!

I have two of them, a pink one and one that Sophia Bush (from One Tree Hill) created!

Now Bobble has come out with something new, I can’t wait to get my hands on it!

It’s the Bobble Jug it comes in so many colors! Its slim so it dose not take up as much room! (I would get rid of my other one just for that reason alone)

It also has a faster filter another amazing reason to get it!

You can also use it as a serving jug and it fits into the doors of your fridge!

I’m getting my Jug and selling my other huge water filter the garage sale I’m having this weekend!

You can buy these products at target and Here.

The new Jug!

They also sell other products that are amazing, the Bobble (in many sizes & colors), The Jug, filters for Bobble and Jug, Hard and soft lunch bags (come with a Bobble), Bobble brush (to clean Bobble), Packs of the Bobbles (great for gifts), and last but not least the Limited Edition Bobble By Sophia Bush!

You will love Bobble so go get one today!!!

Sunday TV Show!!!

Happy Sunday all!!!

If you don’t know this about me, I have always been a Law and Order fan and then I was a huge Criminal Minds fan and now I am a fan of another show!

I have been catching up on all the episodes for the past few weeks.

I would have to say this is my new favorite show and it is DEXTER!!!

I know I’m a little behind but the show didn’t sound like my cup of tea and I don’t get Showtime!

But I kept hearing about how great it is and now I am hooked!

If you are already a fan, then we can both agree that it’s amazing!

If you have not seen it yet and it doesn’t seam like you will like it, let me just tell you….you will be hooked after the first episode.

It’s not as gory as it sounds, it’s got some great humor, it has some scary parts (not to scary) and I even found my self-getting teary eyed in some episodes!

This show has almost a love hate relationship, you love Dexter for the person he is and you kind of love him for getting rid of only the “bad” people and then there are times where your like what’s wrong with him and you want him handcuffed and thrown in jail!

Its kind of like a TV version of Law Abiding Citizen, but not at the same time!

I don’t want to give to much away for all of you who may not have watched it, but find a play to catch your self up online and start watching! You wont be disappointed!!

The new episode is on tonight and I cant wait to watch it!!

Let me know what are some of your favorite parts!!

Have a great day!!

HAIR SPRAY LOVIN' ~BUMBLE & BUMBLE~

This is the one I use!

If there is one thing I will pay full price for its…Bumble and Bumble hair spray!

Well really anything Bumble and Bumble!

I have been using their hair spray for some time now and not only is it the best out there it also smells the best!

I have used all of their hairsprays and I used the purple one every day!

My hair last all daylong and then some when I use it.

Some hair sprays are heavy and weigh your hair down.

This one is light but dose the job!

One bottle last me about 4 months some times longer!!!

It’s a must try, you wont go back to anything else!

The next thing I want to try from B&B is the texture cream!!

What do you think??

Let me know if you have tried it and like it.

Easy Fall Breakfast! SEMI HOME MADE!!!

Spiced Pancakes!

This morning I was in the mood for pancakes, but I have been making all these fall meals so I had to spice it up a bit.

Now lets get one thing straight, I did not make these pancakes scratch.

 (Would have taken to long and I was to hungry)

I took bisquick’s shake and poor added the water 

&

 a ton of Pumpkin Pie Spice and shook it.

I made one and tasted it and thought it needed more.

If you plan on trying this, put as much as YOU want for your taste.

If you have time to make them homemade you can always take pumpkin puree and mix it in for a yummy warm fall breakfast the whole family will love.

I call my recipe semi home made!

In parfait glasses (you can also use shot glasses or coffee mugs like I did) layer crushed gingersnaps and cream cheese mixture as desired. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.

3.In a small bowl, beat whipping cream and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar at medium-high speed with a mixer until soft peaks form. Dollop whipped cream over parfaits. Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice, if desired. Served with gingersnap cookies!
