Detoxify your life!

Hello my little birdies. I hope your day is going well. :)
This year I have made the decision to seriously start working on myself constantly in order to become a better me, not just make endless plans and resolutions then end up doing nothing. My goal this year is to stop planning and start DOING, and I have made some progress over the last 3 months, but I'm only getting started. So I thought what better way to keep myself motivated and pushing forward than to share with you guys?
This is why I am starting this 5 part series about how to Detoxify your life.

We have all been there haven't we? At that point in our lives where we feel like we are just stuck where we are and long for a change. Where we are just sick and tired of all the stress and clutter in our heads and we feel like we are just drowning. Or maybe you are just trying to better yourself in general. A good way to do this is to get a fresh start.....

And that's exactly what I will be doing in this series. I will be posting tips about how to get a fresh start in different areas of your life:

- Socially

-Mentally and spiritually

-Health and body

-Beauty wise

-Your home

I will be posting about these areas over the next few weeks so stay tuned :) :) That's all or now and I will talk to you soon.

My first mini achievement of 2013: Pasta Alfredo

Hello everyone I hope you having a great day today.
So far 2013 has been good to me and as a New year's resolution I decided to try new things I haven't tried before. So where better place to start than cooking? Of course, I am notorious for burning anything and everything that I set off to cook, even soup! ( don't ask ). So it was quite the challenge for me to find something I can cook without burning it, or myself, or my cat. Anyways, like every average Joe out there I started my quest for easy recipes on none other than Google search, which ended with naught! All the so-called "easy" recipes were either too hard or the required ingredients were too hard to get for me. So I started getting discouraged, but then I remembered a Youtube channel a friend of mine recommended a couple of months earlier so I said to myself what do I have to lose? So I searched for this chef and watched a couple of her videos and her pasta Alfredo was delightfully easy AND the ingredients were easy to get a hold of! Jackpot!! So I went to my kitchen and I made and attempt to make pasta Alfredo. The results?
Drum roll please......

   

Tadaaa!!! My first ever non-crappy edible dish. I was so proud of myself when I made this I actually did a mini embarrassing victory dance. Of course, being a rebel I did not stick to the recipe and I made my own adjustments which I will mention after you see the actual recipe...

Ok so here are my adjustments:

• I didn't exactly use powdered garlic and onion, instead I used one garlic clove veery thinly cut and it was just as good. I did make it another time using the powders and it tastes great both ways.
• I didn't use heavy cream, instead I put one tbsp of flour and one mug (yes that's a measurement.. because I said so) of full cream milk. Hey, it gives the same result!
• I added other types of cheese next to the Parmesan cheese. Well, it wasn't cheesy enough for me so I had to improvise.

So I hope you guys try out this recipe and let me know how it turned out..

I will talk to you soon 

xoxo
