PARTY SEASON IS NOT OVER YET!

 

 

 

I love these dresses because you can wear it to one event and you wouldn't feel too bad about repeating these outfits on another occasion.
These outfits could be worn to a party and it could even be worn to a wedding.  My favorite is the first dress shown.

Party season is not over, so why not go and get that dress and just sparkle and shine ladies.  We deserve that and much more.

HOW TO SURVIVE A BLIZZARD

                                   The Northeast braces for a dangerous storm


In my State we are bracing for one of the biggest snow storms that we have seen in many, many, years.  The Weatherman predicted during the weekend that this storm with have a heavy impact and it will shut everything down.

The News have reported that all Transit will end at 9pm and their will be no more service until Thursday Morning.  Our Governor does not want any cars on the road and there are possibilities that there will be some power outages.

We have snow storms every year but it seems that after every year the storms are getting worst with higher levels of snow.

I am sure that some people got stranded trying to come home from work.  We cannot prevent snow storms but we can learn to prepare in advance so that, the storms do not cripple us.


Here are tips that you can use to prepare and although some of these tips are a given in the North East part of the Country; I am adding more and hopefully when another storm approaches we will be well informed and well prepared.

1. Make sure to get some salt and shovels to keep all the entrances clear and the sidewalks clear.
2. Buy in advance some big candles in tall jar and do not use them until you have an outage and buy a box of long, wooden matches.
3. This tip is a given.  Go to the supermarket in advance and buy enough food for about 4 or 5 days. Make sure that you buy a lot of bread and canned food that will not spoil.
4. Buy enough batteries so you will be able to use radio and flashlight.
5. Go to hardware store and get a good flashlight and also go to Dollars store to buy about 4 more for a dollar each.
6. Fill up some empty water jug with water and also buy some bottled water from supermarket.
7. Check on Elderly and disabled tenants in your building or next door neighbors.
8. Buy some can openers if you do not already have some.
9. If you go to work the day of the storm; pack a small bag with extra clothes, medicines and personal cleaning items, just in case you get stuck and cannot get home.
10. When at home, pack a small bag for each member of the family with clothing and medications, just in case you have to evacuate your home.
11. Keep your cell phone charged all day until power goes out, just in case you have to call 911 for an emergency.
12. Buy enough blankets in advance, just in case your heat goes out.
13. Buy a plastic bin, just in case you have to put some food in and place outside to keep food from spoiling.
14. If you keep your freezer closed, food will keep for a day or so.
15. Keep money on hand, just in case you have to pay someone to shovel your side walks.
16. Make sure to refill medications a day or two in advance, just in case you are running out of your medicines.
17. Buy supplies for you pets in advance.
18. Do not sleep with the oven on, to warm your home because it is unsafe.
19. Keep your children indoors, just in case there are some fallen branches and fallen live wires.
20. Do not try to clean off your car until it is safe to go outside and do so.

I know that these are a lot of tips, but they are meant to keep you and your family safe.

HOW TO MAKE GOOD, HEARTY BEEF STEW IN THE CROCK POT

                      
It is really cold in my state today and it is snowy and what I like to prepare for my family is Beef Stew.  Beef Stew is really good and hearty and it is nice to make some good pot meals that are so easy to prepare and it is inexpensive to make. 

Even though you can prepare this dish on top of the stove, I like to prepare this meal in my crock pot and set it to cook for 6 to 8 hours.

You can even prepare this dish while you are at work and come home to the good smells of your Beef Stew.

You can make some jiffy cornbread on the side, if you like or some good biscuits.


Ingredients:

1. Buy a pack of beef cubes.
2. 4 carrots cut up
3. 1 half of Onion
4. 1 Can of Mixed Vegetables
5. Optional: Can of Tomato
6. Optional: 1 half of Celery Stalk
7. 3 potatoes
8. Optional: Mushrooms
9. Less than a half of teaspoon of Seasoned Salt or regular Salt.
10. A small sprinkle of Black Pepper
11. Less than a cup of water

Take out your Crock Pot and put all your ingredients in there and add your Salt and Pepper and Water and set your Crock Pot to cut slow for 6 to 8 hours and that is all there is to it.

Enjoy!

WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY DEPARTMENT STORE PRICES TO ACHIEVE THIS LOOK LADIES

BOHO CHIC

 

                A nice plain look that we can achieve on a budget.


I went to two very expensive stores and I saw these looks and I looked at the price tag and I was blown away at just how high the price was.

My Daughter and I both said at the same time" They must be kidding, we can get this look at the thrift store"
The first look is a style that is very popular in New York City and I have seen it in Chelsea.
The second look is a very nice sweater and a skirt but it is very easy to achieve this whole look for under 15 dollars.

This is one of the reasons why I thrift is because you can look in magazines or go to department stores and see if you can imitate this look on a budget.

My staple in my wardrobe is black skirts and black pants because you can create some really nice looks by mixing and matching blouses or sweaters.

My Daughter likes boho chic and she has many outfits that looks like the first example and she paid no more than $10.00 for the whole entire look.  Now, that is what I call a bargain.

Real style can be achievable by just having a little imagination when shopping at thrift stores.
