Bagel Omelet Breakfast

This morning Matt and I had a pretty freaking fantastic breakfast. We attempted and I say attempted because I've never made an omelet before and not knowing to only put 2 or 3 eggs in I decide to put in 7 because it seemed like the right thing to do?? Not sure.. But I did it anyway. So the omelet turned out gigantic but luckily my parents bought us these circular egg cooker things so it was easier cut the omelet to fit the bagels. Thanks, Mom and Dad! Anyways, these don't look the prettiest but they are the yummiest. They were so delicious and I through in a ton of cheese which anything is better with cheese in my opinion. They're not the healthiest but yah know 80/20 and you're good.


Recipe / Ingredients

Hand full of spinach, half of a large pepper, 1/4 cup of chopped onion and cheese. (A lot of cheese)

Now just make an omelet like you would, I'm not going to tell you how to make an omelet because I completely winged it if you'd like a tutorial on the right way to make an omelet you can read here. :)

Then I used the little circle cut out egg things like I mentioned above ^^^ and used those to cut out the perfect circle to fit on the bagel. You can prep your bagel however you'd like. We have a NuWave so we wrapped the bagels in tinfoil and let the bagels warm up for about 10 min so that they'd be warm but not too crispy.

Annnnnd that's about it! Hope you guys enjoy this and hope you give it a try!

Coffee Scrub DIY

I know it looks like poo ^^^ but hear me out..
So today we're going to get a little personallll or a little TMI. Since it's getting a little cooler the skin is getting a bit dry and itchy but when I read an easy DIY using coconut oil, ground coffee, cinnamon and honey I thought i'd give it a go. Guess what, VOILA it works wonderful!
So here are the benefits,

Ground Coffee
Coffee is full of antioxidants which makes it a great anti-inflammatory. The caffeine brings out moisture from your skin to help it look softer and firm. It's a great exfoliant removing the dead skin cells off of your skin making it super soft and bright!

Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is full of vitamins and minerals which will make your skin super soft and moisturized. Heres a great article on the benefits of Coconut Oil and you can read my post I did here about 50 uses of coconut oil.

Cinnamon
This helps your skin clear up from bacteria it brings your blood to the surface and will smooth out fine lines.

Honey
Honey is super soothing to the skin and also (research says) that honey can help speed up the healing of wounds. Honey also helps why dry/combo skin. It's an antibacterial so helps with acne. It's also full of antioxidants so great for aging and is very moisturizing so helps your skin have that glow we all strive for. One more plus, helps to clarify pores, it opens them up so it's easy to unclog.
After using this scrub (if using on the face) It'd be great to do an at home facial mask to help clarify the skin even more.

First things first,
Measure out your ingredients.
1/2 cup of coconut oil
1 1/2 tablespoons of cinnamon
3 tablespoons of ground coffee
2 tablespoons of honey

Mix all ingredients together with a fork, you can add more or less of things, which ever you prefer!
Hope you enjoyed this super simple DIY and Happy Scrubbing!

Planting Succulents

This Summer I've learned something quite interesting about myself, I enjoy getting my hands a little dirty, yes a little dirty. I don't know what it is but there's something therapeutic digging and getting your hands in the soil. Last Summer when Matt and I moved in together we rented and so I didn't do much weeding and "out doorsey" stuff. October we bought a house then winter was here, and now Its summer and I can't believe I actually enjoy being outside and just doing "stuff!" When I was living with my parents I didn't do diddly squat. They'd ask me 100 times to just water flowers, and it was such a hassle for me! (Sorry Mom and Dad!) Well, that was a really long explanation to say that I now love gardening and succulents. 

Now I'm no PRO at succulents this is just what I have personally done and that has seemed to work. It worked well enough that my little succulents are still alive so to me, that's success!

I bought these little babies at Horrocks as well as the little pot. The soil and stones I purchased at a local Home Depot.

So first STEP

1 // Because I don't know anything about planting, and I didn't know what to do about the hole in the bottom of the pot, so I legit cut a plastic plate and shoved it down in the bottom. Now I understand that's a bit "jankey" but oh well it worked! (It's probably there for a specific reason so if any of you know you're more than welcome to share ha-ah!)

2 // I poured the soil to fill the entire pot and placed the stones on top then mixed them all together. I also watered the soil to add some moisture to it. I don't know why I did this It's just what Southern Living said to do sooo that's what I did!

3// I gently took the little succulents out of the containers and made two holes in the soil and gently placed them in the holes then filled the spaces around them with more soil.

4// Then I just put some stones on top of the soil and super gently tucked them under the plants!

annnnd VOILA!

I hope you enjoyed this mini tutorial it was super simple and pretty self-explanatory! Hope you guys have a super week!
