Easy Healthy Dinner !

Hello girls. I haven't been posting lately on my blog due to overload of work. When I get home all i want is a relaxing bath and bed. Thankfully I have a long weekend. I didn't have to work today nor Monday due to Labor day. When I am home I love to cook it is one of my hobbies that I have for the past years. I admit i was not a good cook but little by little I have learned. I am all for healthy, easy recipes that won't take too long to make especially on my free day. So today I decided to share with you my dinner. My camera was on my dining room and I said to myself why not share my recipe. so here it is Stuffed red peppers.

Fresh Organic peppers from the Farmers Market

93% Organic Ground Beef

Stuff the peppers with meat !

Dinner Is ready !

Recipe

 1 or 1/2 pound of lean ground meat. I used beef, but you can also make them with chicken or turkey.
  season the meat with garlic, salt and pepper to taste and a bit of lemon juice. 

 Preheat your pan on medium and add
1 tbs - Olive Oil 
add the meat and let it brown for 10 to 15 minutes then add 1/2 cup of natural tomato sauce or Pomi which is also natural tomato sauce you can get it at your near buy supermarket. let it simmer for another 15 minutes in total 30 minutes. 

Meanwhile preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Then you will want to cut the top of your Peppers and deseed them. You can scrape all the inside with a small spoon. 

fill the peppers with meat and spray a bit of olive oil in the baking pan. Put it in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

And their you have the stuffed peppers. 

It's an easy recipe and also you can eat it how ever you want. I had  left over brown rice and avocado and decided to have it with that.

Enjoy !

Have a nice weekend

BTW first recipe on Blog !! YAY

Review On L'oreal Paris Ombre kit



Wild Ombre 

Flash On


Flash Off 

Hello everybody. I know I have been a bit distant this week but I have been running around going to different interviews. Hopefully I get a call back, fingers crossed. Anyways I had  my eye on the Ombre look for a long time I had seen many celebrities with this type of hairstyle. I decided after months of trying to decide if i would get it or not. To go to  my local drugstore and buy the L'oreal Paris Ombre Kit. It's price is around 13 dollars. which is way cheaper then getting it done at the hair salon, that was a big plus for me.

  On Friday night while watching mean girls I decided to try it. Imagine me sipping wine with the gloves on. Here is the thing I have never dyed my hair by myself and the last time I decided i wanted to color my hair was when I was 15 years old. I wanted highlights, I basically had to beg my mom to get streaks in my hair. All I had now was my natural hair color. So i was scared that my hair wouldn't take the color.

I followed all the instructions which they are pretty easy. I parted my hair and started dying my hair using the brush it brings. Which it's great because you can do a subtle look or go all the way. I waited for 25 minutes as it says and checked it then I waited for another 5 minutes and washed it off with the conditioning shampoo that it brings. I was a bit scared after washing it off, but when I blow dried and  flat iron my hair I was happy with my new look. My friends couldn't believe i did it on my own. I am happy with the results and with this kit. Is affordable and it leaves you with a new look.

Pardon the pictures I was so happy that I took them really fast.

Soooo if you want that Ombre effect for this fall go for it. It is stylish and affordable. 

XOXO Andrea

Favorite Drugstore Beauty Products...


Hello girls, I hope everyone is enjoying the last days of August.  To tell you the truth I am ready for Autumn to arrive. Meanwhile I have fallen in love with a couple of beauty mostly drugstore products. A couple weeks ago I was with one of my Best friends waiting to get our eyebrows done and we had to wait about 20 minutes we decided to go to our a nearest drugstore. And since i have to buy something when i enter a drugstore i decided to get  a couple of new things that I have never have tried before . Such as the Aussie hair products. I usually use Moroccan oil or other hair product, but that day I was also having a bad hair day and I couldn't manage my curly hair. My best friend says, I heard Aussie products are pretty good. And that is where I decided to try the brand.

I went picked up the hair insurance and the leave in Mousse. I love the texture it gives to my curls. It doesn't leave your hair sticky or hard.  I am happy that I found new hair products that are amazing. I also tried for the first time the Rimmel London BB cream and Primer. It leaves my skin smooth and it gives  me a medium coverage which its what I want It also last all day. also I got them at 40% off. Gotta love the deals.

I also got a new moisturizer its the Estee Lauder Clear Difference advanced oil control hydrator it is great if you have oily skin it leaves it matte.  Its absolutely lovely even my mom has applied it a couple of times and adores it. And the last couple of things I got was the new Revlon "lash potion" mascara,  I have actually used it almost everyday in the month of August. Another good drugstore mascara.

 My last two products that adore is the new Maybelline Master Smoky eye liner. What I like about this is that you have 2 products in one it is a regular eyeliner but it also has a small sponge at the other end which can give you a smoky affect. And or last, a  my new MAC lipstick "honey love" is a beautiful nude that goes with any kind of makeup. Can't say no to a nude lipstick. 

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend ! 

XOXO Andrea
