Adele-25

Adele's  new album came out. on Friday. She is so incredibly talented and  she really can sing anything.  I hope that I get to see her live someday.

I really loved her entire new album. My favorite tracks are Hello, I Can't Love you in the Dark, and All I Ask.

All of it is so Great

Cowboy Caviar-I forgot how much I love this simple dip. 

This recipe is from the Six Sisters Stuff  Recipe. and it is delicious with Tortilla Chips 

or Fritos/Corn Chips

Ingredients

5-6 roma tomatoes, diced

1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 (14 oz) can corn, drained

½ medium onion, diced (I used a purple onion)

1 avocado, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

2 tablespoons diced jalapenos (more or less, depending on how hot you prefer it)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¾ cup Italian dressing 

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Mix together tomatoes, black beans, corn, onion, avocado, green pepper, and jalapenos in a large bowl. Sprinkle garlic powder on top, then stir in dressing and cilantro. 

Donder Tee from Downeast Basics

I love the bold stripes and both color combinations.

Blemish Control Facial Scrub-

Clarification-I am using the Walmart "Equate" brand but I am still getting great results with my skin.

I don't have really oily skin but I like that the scrub is oil free and has natural exfoliants. 

It is gritty so make sure you scrub and rinse it off really well.

Weekly Favorites #39

An unprecedented look at the life and legacy of one of America's most enduring 

and influential storytellers.

I am a huge nerd and I love documentaries. I have always found Walt Disney to be terribly interesting. He was a genius and did things that nobody had ever done before or even thought possible. He was set in his ways and could be very difficult to work; he had quite an explosive temper. This 2 part series on PBS makes me think that Disney was the Steve Jobs of his day. 

You can watch both parts on-line until the middle of October. Do it!

My Dreams Have Come True This Week. 

Garth Brooks is coming to Salt Lake City. I have been waiting for this day for over a year since he announced his new album and new world tour. Garth is amazing. I was able to see Garth Brooks when I was around 8..it seems like a life time ago. You all have no idea how excited I am. I guess I know what I'm doing over Halloween.

Gwen Top from Gap

I have found my new favorite shirt. It was a new design this year. 

It is 100% Cotton

Soft, breathable micro-pique weave.

Short sleeves.

Crewneck.

Exposed zipper at center back.

This shirt is super comfortable. It is thicker and sturdier then a normal t-shirt so you dress it up easily and wear it to work or just wear it with jeans.  I ordered all 6 colors, yes I have a problem.

There is a solid white, gray, and black

They also have a black and white stripe, a red and white stripe and a navy and white stripe.

I just saw this week that there is a new navy and red striped one that was released so I am totally ordering it.

The only down side to this shirt is that it is cotton. I washed my gray one and I accidentally dried it so it shrunk. I hope hoping to wash it and stretch it out.

I give this shirt 5 stars and highly recommend them. 

One of my new Favorite Shows on Netflix

Death in Paradise.

The simple premise: A British detective, is assigned to investigate a murder on the fictional paradise island of Saint Marie in the Caribbean. After he successfully finds the murderer, he is reluctantly required by his supervisors to stay on as the detective inspector (DI) of the island, solving new cases as they appear.

This is very lighthearted and actually quite funny. Its a BBC production about a British detective so you know the humor will be quite dry..but it is so entertaining. If you have finished watching Friends and are looking for something to watch: give this a try.
