did I ever tell you about the guest post I did?

I have been catching up on some blogging, and I totally realized I forgot to post about the guest post I did on Fashion, Love & Lauren. Lauren and I were roommates once upon a time and she asked me to do a guest post on her blog. She is the sweetest and has an awesome blog too! Check it out yo. Oh and congrats to her for getting her own domain!

Until next time, check out this new box I got. It's filled with all sorts of magical tools to turn me into a babe. Today is day 3. That means, only 57 days left... I got this.

oh just some morning baking

Tonight we are having a "getting to know you" activity at relief society and I signed up to bring a dessert. The problem with that is that I don't have any time today between school, work, and the activity to make anything! So I woke up extra early to bake these delicious cupcakes. I'm not usually a cupcake fan, or an oreo fan, but goodness, these just looked delicious so I had to give it a go. I'm not very good at following recipes either. In fact, I managed to combine about 5 recipes from the following links!

I haven't tried them yet but I'm sure they will taste as delicious as they look! Mmm. I don't really want this to be a recipe blog, but if you want me to put together the recipe I used, let me know and I can get that to you!

Also, check out these delicious Philly cheesesteak stuffed bell peppers we had for dinner last night! They turned out delicious and they are very easy to make. I found the recipe on pinterest. HERE is the link to the website.

my sick day

Last week John had the stomach flu... I felt bad that he wasn't feeling very good at all, but honestly, I LOVED playing housewife and taking care of him. I fed him chicken noodle soup and everything! I think he enjoyed the banana popsicles and peach yogurt more though. For anybody who doesn't know, yoplait has the yummiest peach yogurt! 

Well... I guess it's my turn now. I was up in the night, with nausea and it hasn't stopped. That's not even the worst part though! John is doing a 24 hour shift at the fire station today so he can't even be here to take care of me. Don't worry though I've been snacking on saltine crackers all morning because he told me I should try to eat something. We'll see if I can keep them down! 

In honor of the final twilight movie coming out this week, I've been having a marathon by myself. I'm not the biggest twilight fan but I will admit I'm excited to see the new movie. I've been working on convincing John to come to the premier with me. Wish me luck on that one...

Does anybody use essential oils? Well I've made myself some peppermint tea for my stomach using doTERRA's peppermint oil. I just boil some water and put a drop of peppermint in it. You can add some stevia or honey to sweeten it up if you would like. Or you can just rub some on your stomach and it helps. Just be sure to put some kind of lotion or massage oil on first to dilute it because the peppermint is so strong and can burn your skin. I use coconut oil for that! 

My Mom and sisters are really into essential oils. I have a few of my own, all from doTERRA. My favorites are peppermint, lavender, melaleuca, and their own mix of oils called on guard. Everyone of their oils is all natural and each are used for different healing remedies. Check out their website! I highly recommend it.
