SPF 100 Please

{As you all know, I have Cullen-esque skin.  Therefore, I always wear SPF when I am in the sun.  And now, I will be wearing it EVEN more.  Even when I am running errands or driving in the car.  Watch and share this video.}

(Healthified) Strawberry Shortcake

{I have such a sweet tooth, it really is a problem.  I would eat cookies, brownies, chocolates every day if I had the metabolism of a teenager.  Unfortunately, I don't.  And I don't always enjoy working out... even though I go.  And I also like the way my skinny jeans fit, so I can't indulge all the time.  So lately I have been looking for recipes that are healthier.  Wait, scratch that.  Somewhat healthier.

I made this quick and easy (because who likes long and hard??) recipe for Strawberry Shortcake.  These turned out delish, my life partner and I both had two.  Which I guess is ok, since they are the healthified version. 

1 pint strawberries, sliced  

1/4 cup sugar You can of course use sugar, but I did not have any, so I used honey as a substitute.

1 cup Bisquick Heart Smart  

2 tbsp sugar  Again, I used honey here.

1/3 cup fat free milk  

1/4 cup cool whip - lite

1. Stir strawberries and honey (or sugar).
   
2. Heat oven to 425F. Stir Bisquick mix, 2 tblsp honey (or sugar), and milk until soft dough forms. Drop by 4 spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.
   
3. Bake 10-12 min until golden brown. Split warm shortcakes; fill and top with strawberries and whipped topping.} 

{Side note, I should def be a food photographer.  Call me if you need food work done.  I also am an excellent taste tester, I have TONS of experience in eating sweets.}

The Help

{I can't wait to see this movie!  The book was wonderful, one of my favorites.  Do yourself a favor and read it before the movie comes out this summer.  PS, more posts to come soon.  I am about to head out of town on a beach vacay, so I will be back with lots of fun and fab things!}

Gwen

{It is such a mystery to me how Gwen Stefani never has roots and always has red lips.  I mean girlfranddd... you must have someone that comes over approximately every three and a half weeks to keep your blonde locks lustrous.  But then I found this photo:

What??? I hope that her son, Kingston, does not partake in the color parties too.  Well, I highly doubt he does, so I guess there are both genetic freaks who have the blondest of the blonde locks.  I wish I could pull off this look:  Gwen Blonde + Red Lips.  Below I am going to post some of my favorite Gwen Looks.}

 

{I have got to try this headband look ASAP.} 

 {Just being Mom, no roots, perfect lips.  Hopefully, I am this fab if I ever enter into motherhood.}

 

{Wedding day... seriously, no roots at all.  How is this possible??} 

{Though she is sporting pink lips here, how could I not post a sequins picture?  Love this dress.}

 {Red lips + leopard = FAB}

Parachute

{I found the band Parachute on iTunes a few years ago... but have recently just discovered some of their new songs.  One word: AMAZING.  Memphis friends:  They will be at Live at the Garden in August, I am crushed I can't make it to that concert (bridesmaid duties call).  Hopefully they will come to Knoxville very soon.  Check out their songs, Something To Believe In and You and Me. I just know that they are going to be household names very soon.}
