The Vegan Dish that Doesn't Make me Miss Meat

     A steaming bowl quinoa and lentil soup is a dish I eat often and LOVE IT.  Recently I realized that it has no meat or animal products what's so ever and guess what? I didn't  miss it..... At all. Now this isn't a full conversion to veganism, but props to those that have because I never knew that a meal without the ingedients that I baiscally eat almost every day can be so satisfying. So my question to you (who ever you may be) is have you ever tried a vegan or vegetarian dish and liked it enough make it over again?

 


My Favorite Accessories


   Taking advantage of the wonderful  after Christmas sales I decided to go into Charming Charlie and see what the big deal is. I found two items that were right up my alley delicate, light, rose gold,  and still noticeable.


A Rare Cold Day

A  rare cold day in Florida can mean many things. To many it means that Ugg boots are appropriate (they never are in Florida lets be real here). Even more obscene amounts of pumpkin spice lattes are being consumed, and my personal favorite layering !!

Today I wore a dress from H&M
Can't seem to find it online but this is a similar one



 I pulled over it my favorite sweater from Forever 21....
No link for this one sorry

Some deep red/ burgundy tights, I wish you (who ever you might be) could see the pattern on my tights I am obsessed !

Finally I put on my white converse 


I really like layering shirts and sweaters over my dresses, it gives me a million and one more options for outfits. With this I realized that I do have some closet essentials it just takes some brain power and a long enough shirt to get them ;)

A Week in Pictures

                                           
                                                        Had some time  to chill  in between classes 
                                          
                                                       On the way to Christmas Parade


The city has a thing with Swans 

Lights all around 

The parade is a huge deal here 

How cute is my cousin?

"The treat shall be mine!" 

Costumes for a show!

volunteering at it's finest, labeling and hanging 


My friends' outfits were on point
 Sometimes it's okay to step back watch life happen for a little while, I had an interesting week to say the least. When it got really hectic I took some time to breathe and got to capture all of this.

Get a Quick Look! The Balm Nude Dude Palette




yes I use my phone don't judge I've asked Santa for a camera 




Walking around my local Khols store towards the end of my rather stressful Black Friday shopping I decided to treat myself after using up all the strength I had (bad idea if you have major anxiety) . lo and behold I saw the Nude'dude palette and it was love!!!


Packaging: The Packaging is slim, made of sturdy cardboard, has a big mirror and is a pale pink color. It gets dirty easily but it's great for travel so I don't mind the mess. The Balm have stuck with their pinup motif and used men this time,  my inner 13 year old can barely handle herself!

Top to Bottom : Fearless, Flawless, Fabulous, Faithful


Top to Bottom: Firm, Flirty, Fit, Feisty


Top to Bottom: Friendly, Fierce, Funny, Fine 
The Shadows: If you are a mattes girl like I am you'll be a tad disappointed that this palette has only 4 mattes versus the 8 shimmers, but fear not it's not a complete glitter-fest many turn out to be lovely satin finishes. Most do show up on Indian skin tones, and Flawless is a superb transition shade.

Bonuses: This is sold in a set with a Body Builder Mascara and honestly it's nothing special. It's a very natural no makeup, makeup item. I still prefer my drugstore Maybelline Great Lash.


Overall: This is my first high-end makeup item, I am so happy! This is a hidden gem in the midst of the shopping chaos The Balm are kind of underrated, I haven't read or heard much about them. This also makes a nice little gift for someone who has been a VERY GOOD LITTLE ELF because it's expensive

Interested in the Nude'dude? let me know Xx Lazylittleliz
