Light Summer Cooking!

These days I am focused on me primarily my health and body.  I am trying my best to eat right with every meal.   Some days it goes well and some days, ehhh it could be better. I am on always on the search to find foods that taste good.  I love grilled foods and couldn't help but add this one to my recipe arsenal.

Hope you love it!

Ingredients:
1/3 lb prosciutto, sliced thinly
1 lb asparagus
1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
salt and pepper to taste

Process:
Rinse and cut asparagus into 4 inch pieces
Preheat grill
Place pieces of prosciutto on a plate. Lay 4 asparagus spears and a few slices of onion on top.
Roll up the prosciutto around the asparagus and onion
Place rolls on grill across grates.
Grill for 5 minutes, rolling occasionally to cook evenly.
Plate and enjoy!

Fear and Love!

❝

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.

Beauty for the fashion house of Jason Wu fall/winter 2012 runway show at New York Fashion Week on Thursday, reflected an old Hollywood meets Army soldier.  Oh, how we love greens!  

This look is more simple than you think!  We recreated the look for a fraction of the designer price!  

To get this look:

1.  Even your complexion with INK...Cosmetics Foundation Sticks ($24) and cover any dark areas with our Corrector Duos ($18).

2.  Next, add INK... Shadow Primer on the lid ($15 - lasts forever!).

3.  With a wide shadow brush, apply INK... Eye Dust in Ambition - ($16.50) all over the lid.

4.  Using a smudge brush, apply INK... Eye Dust in Mint Chocolate - ($16.50 - color is iridescent and changes with other shadows) to the outer corner of your eye blending into a point.

5.  Add INK... Eye liner in Jet black ($9.50) on the top lash line.  With an angled brush, blend the color down onto the outer corner of your bottom lashes (don't apply liner on the bottom, just smoke it out).

6.  Use a lash curler to flip your upper lashes.  Top with INK... Volume Mascara ($15).

7.  With and angled blush brush, apply INK... Blush in Breathless ($15).

8.  Finish the look by applying INK... Lip Stick in Naked Creme ($12).

4.  For a more dramatic look be sure to apply demi-whispy lashes with dark glue adhesive.
