Eat. Gab. Sniffle.

 Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Grefitti (just the color, not the system)  Pure Ice Five Some
Can we just take a second to swoon over that black glitter?  I mean…really.  Sa-woon!
  • Tacos.  In 24 hours, I ate 8 tacos.  8.  I homemade the taco seasoning and I used ground turkey and holy yum!  I used this recipe, but I like that you can curtail it to the flavors you like!  **edited to add: this recipe is for mult. uses.  I typically use about 1/3 or 1/2 per 1 lb ground meat!
      • 1 tbsp chili powder
      • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin 
      • 1 tsp black pepper
      • 1/2 tsp paprika
      • 1/2 tsp salt
      • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
      • 1/3 tsp onion powder 
      • 1/4 tsp red pepper flake 
  • Great phone dates with some of my besties this week.  Sometimes you just need a good old fashioned gab session with people who just get you.
  • Receiving my first paycheck as a published author.  Does that make it real?  It still doesn’t feel real.  
  • Connecting every day with new bloggers!  I seriously love making new bloggy friends, always!
  • Since Saturday night until last night, I think if you collected all the little moments, my husband and I spent maybe…20 minutes total together?  Sometimes this football wife thing is hard stuff.
  • The sickness.  It could be much worse for sure.  I still mainly feel like myself, I just feel crappy on top of feeling like me–did that make any sense?
Happy weekend, friends!

    WOO HOO girl, first paycheck! That is awesome 🙂

    I am a taco lover too, I would love to make my own seasoning so I will be trying this out. This recipe, is that for 1 lb of meat or several uses?

    Mexican food has sounded so good lately. I'm going to make tortilla soup this weekend, I think.

    I've been eating tacos for about two weeks now. I don't think I could ever get sick of them though- whoever invented tacos was a genius!

    I wasn't sure what to have for dinner, but I'm thinking tacos now! Which I forgot to mention to you but I started taking Papaya extract before meals (checked with my dr first!, he said it was basically harmless) and it's made a big difference. I can eat more things without pain! I still have to be careful but afternoon coffee can now happen!! Hope you're feeling better soon and good luck on your 5k this weekend!

    That Grefitti is really lovely! It's like so dainty but paired with a bold glitter, I like that!

    And congrats on being a published author!! I need to get my butt in gear with my book. Been working on it for like 4 years and am the worst at sitting down to actually write. My illness makes it so difficult to concentrate on anything so I pretty much get no-where with the actual process of writing. So always jealous of people who can actually get past the first draft. haha!

    OH THAT BLACK GLITTER! I swear I swooned when I saw it.

    And yay on your first paycheque!

    Thanks for that taco seasoning! I've been wanting to come up with my own, but I got overwhelmed on Pinterest. I'll be giving that a go, for sure!
