So I'm constantly on the hunt for the perfect mascara. I have a bag full of duds and only a couple that I like just enough to wear. I used to wear the expensive and fabulous high end mascaras, but I just cannot justify $20-30 for something I go through so quickly. Therefore, I regularly buy and try drugstore mascaras in the hope that I'll find "the one". The perfect mascara to make my lashes fat and long and gorgeous.
I recently tweeted some of girls on my twitter regarding the Maybelline Falsies Flared mascara. I'd tried the regular falsies and I wasn't impressed, but when they said they loved the flared I decided I'd give it a try. Now, I don't know if it's just the tube I got, but that is seriously one dry mascara. It makes me look as if I have about 5 eyelashes. Not quite the look I'm going for. By the end of the day, I have it all over my face. Needless to say, this is a huge dud for me.
After a quick Target trip, I've picked up 2 new ones to test out. Cover Girl Lash Perfection and Maybelline Full and Soft. We'll see how they fare. What is your fav mascara? Let me know!

Green Soup
I'm not fully sure what this blog will be about. I think I'm going to stick to things I love. Beauty, cooking, and Carter.
So, since I've currently got an obscene amount of it cooking on the stove, I'm going to begin with probably one of my most favorite things to make and eat. Green Soup. I titled it Green Soup simply because it made it sound like some kind of super hero food to Carter; far more appealing than broccoli/potato/onion soup. LOL So here it goes!
Ingredients:
2 Medium Onions
6 Medium/Lg Potatoes
1 lbs Broccoli (I use the 1lb bag of frozen)
2 Tbs Butter
6 cups chicken stock/chicken broth/or bouillon
1/2-1 cup Milk (or half and half if you're crazy and don't care about fat)
Shredded cheese (I like monterey jack)
Adobo Seasoning & Pepper (if you buy adobo without pepper)
How To:
Chop up your onions and potatoes. The smaller you cut them, the faster your soup will cook. Cook your onions in the butter until translucent. Add potatoes and broccoli and cook for a few minutes. Add stock, cover, and simmer until everything is super tender. Once cooked, puree your soup until smooth. Add your milk and season to taste. Simmer for a few minutes to incorporate seasoning and milk. Serve sprinkled with cheese. Yum!
I hope you guys try it out. Let me know what you think!
