Share some Cooking

I did some cooking this past weekend and made some type of Filipino style rice stuff...just a recipe I tried to dupe from Mr. Shy's Mom...although I wish the white rice had more flavor to it than mine did this time. It consisted of raisins, tomato peel, white rice and some Mirin. Oopsie, I know what I forgot now...diced red onion & diced fried potato (no wonder it tasted plain!).My hot-dogs as a Spam type of replacement came out pretty tasty. I took a hot-dog, sliced long ways in half (but not cut all the way through), fried it on med-low flame with a pan full of Aloha brand teriyaki sauce(from World Market) and sprinkled some roasted sesame seeds on top. Yummy, but bit on the heavy side :P I guess this is my own recipe concoction...but I'm sure it's been done before as with most things.

P.S. Instead of sliced tomatoes with pepper on the side Mr. Shy's Mom had fresh apples and oranges...not that it really matters...does it? heh.

Chick-O-Stick

I just felt like sharing this Chick-O-Stick with you while at work today. Bought this while out in San Diego, CA at 7 11 last week. Not bad...but I'd rather have a Butterfinger :P Munch Munch

P.S. Yes that is my Megan Fox eye makeup in the photo ;D

Transformer Your Look

To celebrate the new Transformer movie I created a Megan Fox make-up look using drug-store makeup.Her eyes are done up smokey with warm neutral colors, so I picked...
Rimmel Colour Rush Trio Eyeshadow, Orion 621
*I picked these colors (use all 3 for this look) which turned out to be more neutral looking rather than warm, but once I applied it, I felt it looked really close to her color after all. Follow up with some liquid black eye liner on top (extend it past the top lid slightly for a cat-eye affect), black pencil liner on bottom, black mascara and deepen this clean well-groomed full brow color to complete (if necessary).

Her cheeks are bronze, pink, peach and just illuminating with about every cheek color imaginable, how does she do it so perfectly you ask...easy! I picked...
Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Bronzer Blush & Eye Shadow, Miami Strip/Healthy Glow Bronzer 2744
*Using your blush brush use the darker tones under the cheek bone to create structure and use the lighter tones on the apples of your cheeks to highlight.

For her lips she's usually sporting a Mauve colored pout, so I picked...
Revlon Super Lustrous - Creme Lipstick, Sassy Mauve
*I really think I found the perfect drugstore lipstick dupe here! If the color is too dark/intense for your liking, you can blot some off with a tissue, then apply a clear lip gloss on top.

I spent soo much time finding dupes for this online(drugstore.com) and then at the actual drugstore(cvs.com) but they're really great to get Megan's look here and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Believe it or not I've already gotten hit on several times today at work while sporting this look, LOL.

Cali Vay-K

I just arrived back home from San Diego, CA yesterday afternoon and I took literally hundreds of photos on my new cam which I'm super excited about sharing them with you, I also have a few okay photos from DC Zoo a few weeks ago. So I'll be posting a few of those pics via Flickr once my Internet at home is working again.Also while on my trip my Aunt whom was visiting from Orlando, FL also uses St. Ives scrub. According to my Mom she has been using this since she was a teenager. Unfortunately she uses St. Ives Blemish & Blackhead Control which...is about as harsh to the skin as Garniers scrub (from my previous scrub review). So I'm not recommending the use of this Blemish & Blackhead scrub either which is even brown color just like my foot scrub (LOL).

P.S. I also got complimented on all my LB clothes I posted about (seeeee...told ya I looked good in them, LOL). My Uncle said I looked very nice and ready for church in the vest top (haha) and my Grams didn't seem too crazy bout the belt it came with but she wouldn't stop staring at me (kinda creepy, hah). The red top looked nice, my Mom even tried to copy me by wearing her red shirt and my friend told me I looked too dressed up for the movie theatre one night, WTHeck. The blue top was comfy to travel in and everyone kept saying how I looked like such a happy person during my travel, hah. My Fam liked the brown top as well but it definitely needs to be laid flat to dry(or possibly ironed) after washing because the collar got all weird shaped while hang drying.
