My Summer Hydrangea Wreath

YAY so this is my first (but not last) wreath.
I picked up all the supplies from Walmart (although I hate that store) for no more than $7 and took me no more than 15 minutes to make!
I picked off the flowers from the bunch they came on and stuck them between the sticks on the wreath.
I love how it turned out!




Please excuse the boyfriend's shoes :)
Thanks for checking it out!
Stay tuned for my landscaping process that will be coming slowly but surely.

Coconut Hair Treatment

 
I just picked this stuff the other day from Walgreens and I can't get enough of it!
The smell is amazing and makes my hands feel super soft.
I decided to jump on the bandwagon and try it on my locks.
I kept my hair in a ponytail from work.
 
 
I added a little bit at a time, working the oil into the ends of my hair and up to my hair tie.
 
 
Wrap it up in a bun and leave it for a few hours. Time to do some homework :)
 
 
 
 
I washed the oil out after a few hours and let it air dry as I went to bed. I styled it in the morning and it was silky and soft :) This will for sure be a weekly ritual.

Healthy version of Ruby Tuesday's Chicken Fresco

Healthy version of Ruby Tuesday's Chicken Fresco.
 
 
Ruby Tuesday's dish: Chicken Fresco.
Grilled chicken, lemon butter, balsamic dressing, fresh tomatoes.
 
 
My version:
Baked chicken, lemon Greek yogurt, Greek dressing, fresh tomatoes.
 
 
Ingredients:
  • 1 lb. chicken breasts (I used the thin cut)
  • 1 tomato (sliced)
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. paprika
  • 2 tsp. Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp. lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp. Greek vinaigrette (or balsamic if you choose, Italian, etc..)
 
 
Spray your pan, align chicken, sprinkle salt, pepper and paprika. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
 
 
While oven is preheating, prepare your lemon yogurt. 2 tsp. lemon juice.
 
 
2 tsp. Greek yogurt.
 
 
Cook chicken with only seasonings on it for 15 mins at 350 degrees.
(Do not turn off the oven once the 15 mins is up. You will be using it again.)
 
 
wa-lah. Baked chickies.
 
 
Spread your lemon yogurt onto the baked chicken.
 
 
Pop those suckers back into the oven which is still at 350 degrees, this time for 8 mins.
 
 
Once the 8 mins is up, keep the oven on again :) you need it ONE more time.
Spread Greek dressing on top of yogurt.
 
 
And your tomato slices.
 
 
Back into the oven they go! 5 more mins.
 
 
YUUMMM
 
 
 
Serve with your favorite veggies. I made twice baked potatoes and green beans.
 
 
 
I hope you enjoyed!
