Weekend To Do's

With the success of YouTuber BenjiManTV's guac, am now more confident to try out the Food Recipes from my Printerest Foodsies Board.

Here is what I have lined up this weekend:

Totally easy. Kinda healthy. Perfect snacks!!

{I'll keep you posted on the results.}

Happy Friday!!

YouTube: BenjiManTV's Guacamole

My attempt: To BenjiManTV's Guac.

Boyfriends Score: 8 Out of 10. {Yey!}

I've been a great fan of all the Beauty Gurus on YouTube. My favorites, MichellePhan, AndreasChoice, dope2111, DulceCandy87, julieg713, kandeejohnson, MakeupGeekTV, rissrose2, and local Seattle, WA native ItsJudyTime and her popular spin off channel ItsJudysLife.

I've been religiously watching Judy and daily vlogs, as she documents her & her husband Benji's everyday lives. With introducing her husband, and welcoming her viewers to see her home; I've become addicted to seeing what they have to eat, where they shop, travel, share relationship advice, and what they do to stay healthy and fit. Benji, a real estate agent with his brother, is an avid food junkie, who loves cooking, eating healthy, drinking tea, sharing benefits of eating all organic, juices and consistently shops at Trader Joe's & Costco. He then created BenjiManTV to share his interests.

Today, I've made it a task to duplicate and attempt Benji's Famous Gucamole. I've watched, and favorited the video for me to reference his recipe. And today is the day I'm going to actually do it.

Here's the video:

New Girl

As the kite twirls in this Spring weather....

Jess: "I have to go out tonight, 'cause I'm feeling pretty twirly."
Schmidt: "Twirly? Is that like horny?"
Jess: "I've got the dirty twirlies, Schmitdy!"

I just caught up with New Girl. And my goodness, Zooey Deschanel's performance is is awesome. I'm sure everyone has a little bubbly in them after watching her. Throughout the entire season I admire Jess's fashion, cute, and comfortable! With that here's a little Fashion Style Board of a typical outfit of Jessica 'Jess' Day.

Let's celebrate spring!

Baby Sprinkle

It's Spring, and typically this month consists of Easter Parties, Birthday Parties, and Baby Sprinkles?! My cousin's wife is expecting her second born, and also her second boy, and since she pretty much has all the clothing and accessories she needs, she requested for us to throw her a Baby Sprinkle. Not much a shower of gifts, but smaller for just diapers and a few useful things.

So inspired by my trusty Pinterest, this is my mood board with provided links of affordable and adorable products and projects.

Penny's Apartment

Just recently my boyfriend and I have got into CBS's hit sitcom, The Big Bang Theory. We just completed season 1 and almost done with season 2. We watch about 3 episodes every night once the kids are down. And I must say, I haven't laughed so hard from a TV show ever before. I love every single character in the show so much! At times I'm just mouth reading, with all the geeky scientific terminology from Leonard and Sheldon. But what makes me relate to this show the most, is Penny!! I cannot help but relate with her so bad, personally being a girlfriend of a computer software engineer. Girlfriends of geeky men are not always geeky as well btw. If this show didn't have the character of Penny, this show would be nothing. Really.

I'm such a big fan of the show as well as Penny, I've dedicated this post on an inspirational mood board for her apartment. Her apartment is very joyful and airy with the bright colors, textures, and patterns that what girl can't resist to live here?

Penny, being twenty something, working a minimum wage part-time job at The Cheesecake Factory, I'm sure it isn't that realistic to afford a 1 bedroom apartment in Pasadena, CA. But who knows, I'll try my best to locate adorable/affordable DIY projects to create a look just like hers.

By just taking a look at the picture up above of her bedroom, I see:

Personal Pinterest Project

The past few months I've been on Pinterest like a crazy woman. For those of you who don't know, Pinterest is an online pinboard to organize all the things you love. I'm sure we all can admit, we used to bookmark millions of our favorite things before Pinterest was created. I, myself, Tiffany, an art school drop out - semi educated in Interior Design, mother of 2, showroom manager and divapreneur, would even go to the extreme of printing out my favorite blog posts, and pictures of any DIY projects, and make a creative binder in hopes I'll be able to find time to do these things. I also have cork boards & white boards around my house with upcoming projects I plan to do. And on top of that, I was on sites like Redux and Tumblr, re blogging posts of the same nature.

Delightfully, the creative minds somewhere in Palo Alto, CA (which happens to be 20 minutes away from me), have created an easier and harmonized way for people such as me to formulate and group together our favorite things. My favorites: Fashion, make-up and beauty, interiors, family fun, and design projects. I'm also an insane fancy frugal shopper. I religiously shop at discount stores like Ross, Marshall's & TJ Maxx, along with occasional Thrifting, Dollar Tree discoveries, attending weekend garage sales, Craigslist hunting and once a month shopping sprees at the Antique Faire in our County.

To be honest, I have millions upon millions of inspiration sitting on my desktop, Pinterest pin boards, reference on my Tumblr, personal journals, and binders of arts & crafts projects. Yet, I have no time to tackle all of them, as I wish I could.

My mission here on this blog I've created would be to share majority of my discoveries, inspirations, and actual completed pins I've found on my new addiction of Pinterest. Come join me, and follow my journey as I'll do weekly posts and possibly some vlogs. Maybe perhaps some DIY vids, or at least special step-by-step instructional posts.

I cross my fingers, those who share the same interest as we will follow, and get inspired of all the possibilities of great finds, refurbished furniture, easy DIY, home decorating on a budget, and also family activities.

With that said. Here we gooooo......
