I know, I know...
I kind of let go of this website. I will try to update more frequently. I got a new FULL time job.. Which I am very excited about. I've been working at Primrose for more than a year now. I also an enrolled in school full time. So I am VERY busy.

Anyways.. I have tried many new recipes that I will make again to put up on here!

Today was the first day of the Military diet! I have seen this a lot on Pinterest and I decided to start because I have been trying to lose weight and overall be more healthy. I have tried different things but I have been at the same weight for a while.

Today's breakfast..
1/2 of a grapefruit
1 slice of wheat bread
two tablespoons of peanut butter
tea (or coffee)

Lunch...
1 slice of wheat bread
1 cup of tuna (in water)

Dinner...
3 oz of chicken
1 cup of green beans
1/2 banana
1 small apple

Dessert...
1 cup of ice cream

I have to say.. It wasn't that bad today. I thought I would be starving because I eat a lot more than this in a day. I love love love that I can still eat ice cream too :)

Starting weight = 212.6.





Day 2:

Breakfast
1 egg- I chose hard boiled
1 slice of toast

Disney College Program :)

     Today I had my interview for the Disney College Program. I did so much research on what questions will be asked, how long the interview is, how the process is... So much research.
So I thought I would tell how my experience was and what questions were asked for me!

     First, you apply on the website (http://cp.disneycareers.com/en/default/). There is an "Apply Now" button up in the top right hand corner. It's a very easy application. You just fill out basic questions about yourself. If everything is good with your application, you will receive an email asking you to set up your interviews. You will have two interviews. The first interview is your web-based interview- I got this email within the hour of completing the initial application. This is just like any application for a job. The Web-based interview consists of multiple choice and agree/disagree questions. It's fairly simple. Just BE HONEST when you answer these questions.
     Once you are done with this and you meet all criteria based on the web interview, you will receive another e-mail telling you to set up your phone interview.

     My phone interview went very well! First the interviewer made sure I wanted the Florida College Program. Then she asked me if my school was correct and where I lived is correct. Simple questions just to make sure the information they have is all right.
Here are some of the questions I got asked;

• How will this program help you professionally?
• Why do you want to work for Disney? 
• Why did you apply for the Disney College Program?
• Have you ever visited Disney World? 
• Have you ever lived in a dorm or with other people other than your family members? 
• Are you comfortable being with 1-7 other roommates? 
• What daily tasks do or did you have with your work experience? 

She then talked a lot about the different Roles. On my application, I chose a lot of different Roles that interested me.

• What are you top choices for roles? 
• Tell me about a time that a customer was being difficult and how did you handle the situation?
• Tell me about a time that there was an emergency at work, and how did you handle the situation? 
• How would you handle working outside for long periods of time while standing up? 
• Would you be okay with making or serving food? 
• If a little girl was scared or nervous about getting dressed up (Bippity Boppity Boutique), How would you react? What would you do in this situation? 
• How do you feel about talking in front of groups of people?
• Would you be okay with either a custodial role or a housekeeping role? --She then explained to me what the difference was and told me a little bit about both. 
• Would you be interested in a lifeguard position? Would you be able to lift up a person over 100 lbs out of the water if they needed help? 
• If you were working at the front gate, how would you make a person feel special when you only see them for a few seconds? 
• Some of our retail jobs require you pick up stock that is up to 40 lbs. Would that be a problem for you? 

A lot of the questions asked were about the different roles and how I think I could see myself in them. 

My interview took about 20-25 minutes.

 UPDATE
I got accepted into the Disney College Program, but I was in New York and didn't check my e-mail regularly so I couldn't accept the offer. So I am going to try for next Spring! 

   

#NYCBigBold VoxBox

I got my first Influenster VoxBox!

     First of all... if you have never heard of Influenster, it is an amazing community. You can test full size products for free! (Who doesn't like free??) All you have to do is give your opinion about the products on your social media account. It's very easy and super exciting to get your VoxBox! 

I got the #NYCBigBold VoxBox! It came with the NYC Big Bold Angel Lash Mascara and the NYC Big Bold and Precise Felt Tip Liner.

A little bit about me and my makeup routine... I usually put on eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow, and maybe something on my face or lips. Somewhat minimal. Also, I hate putting on Liquid eyeliner. I can never get the line straight and I always mess up. I end up just giving up on it because I can never get it right. So when I received this box, I was skeptical about how the eye liner was going to work.. Now, this isn't like normal liquid eyeliner. It looks a little bit like a marker. I have to say, I was very surprised by how easy this eyeliner was to swipe on. I got a straight line across the top of my eyelid the first time I tried using this eyeliner. I am very happy with this eyeliner! I've used it several days and I am still amazed by how easy it is to use. Using this eyeliner with the Big Bold Angel Lash Mascara just made a beautiful look.-Now I know why these products are both called "Big Bold". The mascara did not clump like a lot of mascaras do. To me, this mascara made my eyelashes look huge. 

I'm very happy with both of these products!

 

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Easter Bunny Cookies

Hello!
I know Easter was a long time ago...But, I got this Easter Bunny because it looked really good and I thought I would eat it. However, it just sat there. I knew I wasn't going to eat it. So I started thinking if I could do something with it or if I should just throw it away.
One day, I wanted cookies but didn't have any chocolate chips. I decided instead of chocolate chips, I would try the Chocolate caramel Easter bunny I got!
Ingredients
For the cookies

• 3/4 cup Granulated sugar (White)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract--We make our vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 Easter bunny

For the Caramel Sauce

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
•  1/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 Degrees.
2. Mix both of the sugars and butter together in a large bowl. 
3. Add Vanilla and eggs until everything is combined. Stir in flour and salt.
4. Chop your Easter bunny into little chunks. Stir the Easter bunny chocolate into the cookie mix with a spoon.
5. Drop spoon size balls of dough onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
6. While the cookies are cooking, you can start on the caramel sauce. (This is optional) in a pot, melt the butter. Add both sugars. Let this all melt together but constantly stir so this mix doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Slowly add your milk and vanilla extract. You will cook this on high heat for about 3 minutes. Let it cool.
7. Once the cookies are done cooking, let the cool. Put your cookies on a plate and drizzle the caramel sauce over the cookies.
8. ENJOY!

Boxes

I'm dumb...
So.. My sister and I threw a surprise graduation party for my grandmother. (Yay Shorter University Class of 2014 )
We made a lot of different things for her party. We made cupcakes... And once we were done both of us were like, "How are we going to bring these to our aunts house?" Well... I (Brittany) said, "Oh! I just bought those boxes. Do you think they will work?" We didn't have anything else. So I put them in the boxes. Icing and all. Well... When we got to our aunts house I realized that the icing got all over the box. And I would be the one to put Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing in the white box.
I didn't want to throw away the boxes.. I had just bought them. So I decided to clean them out and try to make them look pretty again!

You will need...

• Box(es)
• Scrapbook paper
• Glue
• Scissors

What to do...

1.  I had to clean my boxes. I just did this with a napkin and tried to take off the icing. There were some spots that I had to use a little bit of water to take it off.
2. Let your box dry if you had to clean it with water.
3. Pick a pretty scrapbook paper and cut the pieces of paper out to fit the box. You will need pieces for all four sides and one piece for the bottom of the box.
4. Glue the pieces to the box.
5. Let the glue dry.
6. Now you have a pretty box to put whatever you want in it.

I put Sharpies in my box.. I love Sharpies.
But these are my favorite.. One Direction Sharpies.
I also made an orange and black box.
By the way, these boxes are at Michaels Arts&Crafts. I bought mine on sale 5 for $10. I love them. I have too many...

Tamale Bake

You can probably tell we like Mexican food by now..
This Enchilada Bake is so delicious. We made it thinking we would only eat a bowl of it... and we finished the pan. And then made it agin the next day. And then made it for our friends. It's really good!
I was looking through Family Circle Magazine (January 2014).
And I came across this recipe.

(Cant you see that the page is all worn out? ;))
For some reason... I read this recipe wrong. I thought it said green sauce,but it says enchilada sauce. The bad thing about this is I didn't even notice it until around the 5th time I made this! Anyways... I have never even tried it with enchilada sauce because the green sauce is so good in it!
We have changed some of the original recipe around.



Ingredients

• 1 package Corn Muffin Mix (We use Jifffy)
• 1 can of Cream Corn
• 2 Eggs--Beaten
• 1/2 Cup of Milk
• 1 pkg of Shredded Taco Cheese
• 2lb of Chicken 
• 1 bottle of Green Sauce (Or homemade Green sauce--which is what we normally use to make this)
• 1 medium onion- Chopped 
• 1 clove of garlic (or 1tsp garlic)
• 1 tsp Chili Powder
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• Cilantro (Optional) 
• Toppings, such as Sour Cream, Tomatoes, Guacamole... 

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a LARGE bowl, mix your eggs, muffin mix, corn, milk, cumin,chili powder and about 1 cup of cheese together. Spoon mixture into a GREASED 9x13 dish. Make sure its greased or buttered so it doesn't stick. (This makes it easier to clean when you are done :)) Bake for 20 minutes or until the Corn bread mix is golden brown.
2. While the corn bread mix  is baking in the oven, cook your chicken in a pan with a little bit of oil. Once the chicken is cooked throughout, you need to shred your chicken. I do this with two forks. (If you don't want to shred it, chopped chicken is also good on top) I then put garlic and onions into the pan. This time we also put bell peppers in.  Let the onion and garlic cook with the chicken for at least 5 minutes (or until the cornbread mix is done)
3. When you take the corn bread out of the oven, poke small holes in the corn bread with a knife or fork. Spread the green sauce over the top. Make sure you cover every spot of the corn bread. (I missed a spot!) Scatter the chicken, onions and garlic mix over the top. Spread this out evenly over the top.Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the top of the chicken mix. Now, put this back in to the oven and cook for about 20 more minutes or until the cheese is nice and melted. I also put cilantro on the top.
4. Let this cool for about 10 minutes, because it will be very hot! Put some Tamale Casserole in a bowl along with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
