5 Beauty Related Things You Can Do With Vaseline

     Do you have an old jar of Vaseline just sitting around your house? Well, I was using Vaseline this morning and thought about all of the useful tips I've gathered over my short amount of time here on earth about the wonderful uses a simple jar of Vaseline can provide. So, thankfully for you I've written them all down for your reading pleasure lol

Here they are:

1. Apply a little Vaseline to your lips.
    The first one is pretty obvious and the one that most people know about is just put it on your lips. I do this every single day and it has prevented me from getting chapped lips. It even comes now in tiny  jars and tubes made specifically for the lips. Just to let know, it's exactly the same stuff it's just way more convenient to carry around in your purse than a huge jar. My lips are sooo much softer and my lipsticks and lip glosses go on a lot smoother now.

2. Use Vaseline on your Cuticles
    Every Saturday I put a little bit of Vaseline on my Cuticles resulting in me having softer and more moisturized hands. My nails also grow quicker and stronger.

3. Vaseline and perfume
    The first time I tried this I wasn't so sure it was going to work for some reason, but it does. Put a little Vaseline on the parts of the body that you usually put your perfume on and the scent will last longer.

4. Mascara
    If you put a coat of Vaseline on your eyelashes they will grow longer and fuller resulting in some beautiful lashes. If you want to you can also just put this on everyday in place of mascara. Not only will your lashes be healthier but they will also look slightly darker and it won't be clumpy.

5. Softer skin
    Now, this one might go without saying, but Vaseline is also a great moisturizer. I have the DRYEST skin in history so I wholeheartedly stand behind this product. I put this on the heels of my feet, the front and backs of my knees and elbows too. I love the stuff! My feet look 100x better than they did before.

You should try some of these tips out (or all of them) and let me know in the comment section of this post any tips that work well for you :)

Alright. have a wonderful day!  xoxo

Blog Photos

For those that have saw any of my blog posts and the people that will see my future blog posts, I am very sorry about the quality of the photos on my blog. For now, I have to use my phone in my dimly lit house. I am currently saving up my money for a better camera, but unfortunately I don't think I will be able to afford one for a while. So until then the pictures will be on the crappy side. Sorry about that.      xoxo

Recipe: Spinach and Ricotta Stuffed Shells

Anybody that knows me really well knows that I looooove pasta. Most of the time when it's my turn to make dinner, I make pasta.The latest dish I made were these delicious pasta shells stuffed with this delicious spinach and cheese mixture. I saw this tasty recipe from pinterest. It looked so good I had to try it and I don't regret it at all. It was fairly easy to make and everybody in the house enjoyed it. Since that was the case, I thought I would share it so you guys can enjoy it too.

Ingredients

• 24 Jumbo pasta shells (I didn't end up having enough mixture to fill all 24)
• 1 15-oz Container of ricotta cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded parmesan
• 1 10-oz package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
• 1 large egg
• salt and pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• pinch of ground nutmeg (I didn't use the nutmeg when I made this because i didn't have any. Oops!
• 1 26-oz jar of spaghetti sauce

Preparation

1. First, you want to go ahead and preheat your oven to 375 deg. and spray a 9 by 13 inch baking pan with cooking spray. The next part is really easy, just boil the pasta by the directions on the box the shells came in. After, just drain them and leave them on the counter to cool.
2. During or after the pasta cooks, make the filling for them. In a big bowl put the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of the mozzarella, shredded Parmesan, chopped spinach, egg, salt and pepper Italian seasoning, and nutmeg.

      3. For the next part, take 3/4 cup of the pasta sauce and spread a even layer of it in the bottom of the baking dish. Now, for the fun part. It is time... to.... start the process of.... filling THE PASTA NOODLES! I don't know why, but I really enjoyed doing this part.

             Pic 1                                                    Pic 2                                                    Pic 3

 

After the shells are stuffed, put them on top of the spaghetti sauce (Pic 2). Then spread the remaining pasta sauce over the shells (pic 2), and then top everything with the mozzarella cheese (pic 3).

      4. Cover the baking dish with foil and place in the oven for 35 min. After the 35 minutes are up, take off the foil and place back in the oven for the last ten minutes until the cheese is bubbly and begins to brown.

Note: I didn't use foil because I was out so the cheese may be a little brown, but it didn't alter the taste at all.

After that, you are left with this delicious pasta dish that everyone will love. I hope you guys enjoy this meal as much as I did. I'll be back with a lot more posts soon.

Love
