DOTD (DINNER OF THE DAY): WEIGHT WATCHERS DINNER IDEA

One thing I would recommend when doing Weight Watchers is PLAN. On Sundays I like to go through my food tracker and plan every day in advance for the week. I cannot tell you how much time this saves me and how much easier it is for me to stay on track when I do this. Unfortunately, I did not plan this Sunday which led me to disaster. I had a very high point lunch today which resulted in me having to eat a smaller meal for dinner.. which is fine. Thankfully, fruits and veggies are 0 points. (P.S. the Krispie Kreme donut I ate with lunch definitely did not help my case. I still enjoyed every bite of it though!)


KALE SALAD:
Kale = 0 Points
Cauliflower = 0 points
Brocoli = 0 Points
Mrs. Dash Garlic Herb Seasoning: 0 Points
OPA Greek Yogurt Feta dill dressing: 2 Points for 2 tablespoons

White Cheddar Laughing Cow Cheese = 1 Point
Keebler Cornbread Crackers = 4 Points for 8 crackers 

TOTAL FOR DINNER: 7 Points

I didn't take a picture of dessert but it was AMAZING. 

Keebler waffle bowl: 1 Point
Fat Free Cool Whip: 0 Points for 3 tablespoons (I keep mine in the freezer. The consistency is similar to ice cream and it's so good!)
Strawberries: 0 Points
Vanilla Wafers: 1 Point for 3

TOTAL FOR DESSERT: 2 Points


REVIEW: L'OREAL INFALLIBLE EYESHADOW IN ICED LATTE




Review time! Let me just say I'm a sucker for eyeshadow and when I can find a drugstore eyeshadow that is up to par with my beloved high end palettes I am THRILLED. Let's talk about L'oreal infalliable eyeshadow in iced latte. 


This eyeshadow is creamy, easy to blend, AND pigmented. As you can see, the pigmentation is on point. Iced latte is a shimmery, almost light golden shade that looks great by itself or underneath another shadow. Personally, I use it on its own on my eyelids as it brings so much light to my eyes. I like to pack it on as the color intensifies the more layers you add.


This swatch is with out any primer underneath. I don't even think this really does any justice but if it helps this is after just one light swipe. How pretty is this? It works great as an inner corner high light as well. 

LOVE. I am excited to try other ones. If you have any recommendations let me know :)!

REVIEW: NEW SKINNY COW CHOCOLATE MOUSSE GANACHE ICE CREAM CONES


I have been doing Weight Watchers since January (I have lost 30 pounds so far) and I am always looking for new things to try for dessert that aren't going to break the bank of my daily points. I have the BIGGEST sweet tooth and I cannot go a day without eating something remotely sweet so when I saw these at the grocery store I knew immediately that I needed to try them. Each cone is 4 points which is reasonable for a decent sized ice cream cone (I'd take a picture of one out of the box but I unfortunately ate all of them, hehe).

For 4 points you are a getting creamy chocolate ice cream with an almost whipped cream tasting vanilla flavored ice cream as well as a pretty generous chunk of chocolate. This ice cream doesn't even taste like it's healthy in the slightest. There's no weird texture or flavor, it's just simply a delicious tasting ice cream. My favorite part is the chocolate ganache at the top which is AMAZING. I kind of wish there was more of it but then again, I'd like to keep it low in points! The cone isn't soft, it's crispy and something I love about Skinny Cow ice cream cones: there's a surprise at the bottom of the cone. A nice chunk of chocolate. LOVE.

So basically:
1. Doesn't taste low in fat
2. Yummy ganache piece
3. Crispy cone that isn't soggy
4. Creamy ice cream
5. Obsessed (I am)!!!

Definitely a great treat for dessert that is low in points. I have repurchased these probably four or five times. I also recommend the mint ganache flavor as well! I'm not a huge mint ice cream person but those were delicious as well. :)

I give these a 4/5. I take one point off because unfortunately anywhere I go Skinny Cow is pushing about 5 bucks a box. A little pricey for some of us on a budget but they are so worth it!

REVAMP OF MY BLOG! :)

My hiatus has been entirely too long but I'm back! I realized that one of the reasons I have not updated my blog or kept up with it was because there's so much more to me than just beauty and make up. I love fashion, food, my cat, boyfriend, friends, and of course make up.. so why not make my blog about all of these things? I feel like a blog is your own personal spot in the world of the internet and as much as make up is a huge part of my life there are also so many other things that make me happy as well. My blog will still be about beauty but it's also going to be about other aspects of my life and I am very excited to share this with you all! :)
