Quick Beachy Hair Waves
Hey Everybody!
Today I am going to talk about something that I am constantly asked about and that is my favorite hair tool, the Revlon Jumbo 3 Barrel Hair Waver. I use it all the time and actually had to recently order a new one because my old one stopped working. My original one worked for almost ten years!! Using this tool, I can get my hair done in under ten minutes! It is so easy! I love the way that it looks and it turns out every single time I do it, unlike using some other tools. It’s also much cheaper than most heating tools. I just bought a new one off of
amazon for less than $25!Check out my time lapse video below to see how I use it 😊
Here is the link if you would like to get one too.
Here is the link to my favorite texturizer that I used in the video too.

Savory Orange Chicken and Broccoli
Hey Everybody!
Today’s recipe is one for orange chicken and broccoli. I honestly think that it’s better than Panda Express. This isn’t as healthy as some of the other recipes I have posted, but it is one of my favorite go to meals. This is actually my own original recipe as well.
This recipe generally takes about 30 minutes from start to finish.
Ingredients
2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 Cup Panko (found on the Asian Isle)
1 Teaspoon Dried Parsley
1 Egg
2 Tablespoon of Orange Sauce (found on the Asian Isle)
2 Crowns of Broccoli
1 Cup of Minute Jasmine Rice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Grab two bowls. Add the panko and parsley to one bowl and crack the egg into the second. Beat the egg so that it is an even consistency.
- Slice chicken breasts into small cubes about ¾ inch by ¾ inch.
- Dredge your chicken in the egg, then in the panko and parsley mixture.
- Place on prepared sheet pan.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes and remove.
- Flip the pieces of chicken to the other side.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165 degrees F.
- At this point start to prepare your broccoli. Cut your broccoli crowns into small bushels. Fill a medium saucepan about 1/3 with water and boil it on high. Once it starts to boil place a steamer into your pan with the cut broccoli. Cover and reduce heat to medium for 9-11 minutes.
- Meanwhile, boil 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. When it starts to boil pour 1 cup of minute jasmine rice in the pan and stir. Cover and remove from heat.
- Top the cooling chicken with orange sauce and enjoy immediately.
- Do not top chicken breasts with the orange sauce unless you are eating immediately and aren’t planning on having leftovers since it will make them soggy.

READ
Hey Everybody.
Today I am going to talk about something that I use for my self-care and that is reading. I know it sounds weird but reading has helped me get through some of the toughest times of my life. It has helped me to escape. It has helped to build my vocabulary. It has helped to improve my concentration and focus. I will highlight each of these benefits below.
Okay so the first thing that I mentioned reading has helped me with was escaping. Sometimes you just need to turn your brain off with what is currently going on around you. In my case, it has been during times of extreme stress in my life. I went through a terrible breakup in my early 20’s with the man I thought I was going to marry. I know it sounds cheesy but it was very traumatic to me and made me question everything around me. When I picked up a book, I could escape for a little while and just worry about what was happening in the book. I know I am not the only one that has been able to do this. It really helped me to relieve the stress. It eventually helped me to work through the situation as well. Each time I put my book back down I was in a much better mood.
I have been able to build my vocabulary substantially from reading. Whenever I am reading, and I don’t know a word I make sure to look it up so that I know what it means. I start to see these words for a while and then eventually I can use them.
I don’t know if many of you know this about me, but I have ADHD. I wasn’t diagnosed until around college time and I believe I can owe this to reading. Over time reading has really helped me to improve my concentration and focus. I have always been into reading from a young age and I know it helped me to get through school without even knowing that I had it!
Reading has changed my life. I think it can help you too!
I have included a list of my favorite lists below that I will be updating frequently.

Custom Cable Grips
Hey Everybody!
Today I am writing about an awesome addition to your gym bag. I never go to the gym without them!
They are the KYLIN SPORT Cable Machine Attachments.
At my gym, every time you go to use the cable machine, you can’t find the handles that you want. I swear there is only one or the other one you find is broken. I also hate to use the metal grips as they usually are too rough on my hands. Not these.
They have silicon grips, so you don’t even have to worry about that. They come in a cute little holder too so you can keep them nice in your gym bag. They also come in lots of fun colors like: blue, grey, black, rose, and yellow. I like to get a color that stands out so people at the gym don’t think you are taking the gyms. They are very well made and are capable of holding up to 330 pounds!
My husband and I use these grips every single time we go to the gym. You can use them to work out chest, back, biceps, shoulders, and triceps. I will be uploading a workout using these in the future. Let me know which muscle group you would like to see first!
I have attached the link below if you would like to try them! Thank you for reading today’s blog. I hope you enjoyed it. If you did, leave a comment below!
