Oatmeal baths. Seriously! I suffer from severely dry skin on my legs during the winter. When I say dry, I mean scaly, fishy looking skin that sheds in flakes. Gross, I know. I would lay awake at all hours of the night scratching my legs raw until they bled. And, getting in the shower to next morning was miserable, because the sores I had caused to myself would burn as the warm water touched them. I've tried a many different types of lotions, but the only eased the itch for a few hours before I had to reapply more. Applying lotion isn't so bad, but having to do it two or three times a day is sort of inconvenient.<br />
<br />
Please someone tell me I'm not the only one turning into a fish!<br />
<br />
Anyways, a dermatologist came into work one day and we somehow got on the subject of dry skin. She told me about the magic behind the oatmeal bath.<br />
<br />
<b>You can prepare your oatmeal bath two ways:</b><br />
1. Fill a coffee filter or a tea filter full of plain (not instant!) oatmeal. Tie it up at the top, and toss into your running bath with 1 cup of milk. (Yes, I said milk! Just do it, you won't be sorry!)<br />
<br />
2. Put the oatmeal into a food processor and grind into a very, very fine powder or buy oatmeal powder. Just pour it into your bath with the milk.<br />
<br />
(Optional) You can add lavender if you would like!<br />
<br />
I've noticed a HUGE difference in my skin. I still use lotion after getting out of the tub, but my need to apply lotion is much, much less. I also don't have that gross ashy look going for my legs anymore. If you're like me, I try to only wash my hair every other day so oatmeal baths are perfect on the days when I don't need to wash my hair. I can clean my body and moisturize it!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12536079536927072793noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328795930312133850.post-64802523817801683482013-12-10T10:00:00.000-06:002013-12-10T10:00:02.042-06:00his style: Sunday Casual<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When people(especially young men) decide to start dressing well, they usually tend to go overboard with accessories, and hence wind up looking like they're wearing a costume. I try to avoid this by wearing no more than one 'loud' accessory at a time. In this case it's one of my favorite bowties. I love the color, and the geometric pattern is nice and subtle.<br />
<br />
L.L. Bean makes my favorite button-down shirts. They're a little stiffer feeling than Brooks Brothers, etc, and I like that when I'm wearing a tie with a shirt. I'm also a very avid supporter of the classic Bean boot, which has been keeping my feet warm since I was a child.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12536079536927072793noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328795930312133850.post-83303510683684228392013-12-08T12:21:00.000-06:002013-12-08T14:03:31.388-06:00Her Style: A coat for an ice storm I've never seen before.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm trying to remember mental images from this flying time in my life. Do you do that? It feels like yesterday I graduated from high school. I feel different from the way I did when I walked across the stage to grab the end of my childhood on a piece of paper. More grown, more mature, and a better grasp at what I want out of life. I'm counting down the days until I walk across that stage again, only this time to grab the start of real adulthood. College is a limbo of sorts, you're stuck between not actually being a child and not actually being an adult. My limbo is drawing towards it's end. This is my last spring semester as an undergraduate. I finish up my final computer science classes next semester, complete an internship during the summer, and walk that short journey to my diploma in August.<br />
<br />
Am I sad that this beautiful time in my life is coming to an end? No. College has been one of the hardest things I have done thus far. Feelings of inadequacy crept in often. "Can I do this? Can I complete? I'm just so tired, I just want to lye down. But, If I fail, I'll never forgive myself." These feelings often came from seeing other students having the time to study, being smarter or better at something than me, or even having parents to help them get through college. Truthfully, hardly any university student that cared had time, and I'm better at other things than these students I was comparing myself to for so long. I'm not graduating with a 4.0 or getting any kind of recognition for being the top in my class. But, I'm graduating. I'm graduating, because I worked hard. I got to travel and participate in things that will have forever changed my life. I've done things most college students never had the opportunity to do. I'm thankful for that.<br />
<br />
I'm not sad. But, I will miss it.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12536079536927072793noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328795930312133850.post-33290624983516268322013-11-25T09:39:00.001-06:002013-11-25T09:39:41.889-06:00Colors of the Season<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you went to university, you know exactly what I'm talking about. There are those days (most days) where all of your professors expect too much of you, so your schedule is perfectly imbalanced. As it should be as a student, I suppose. I don't really believe in going to class in pajamas when you just can't get up in the mornings. It's just not my thing. But, I do have those days with no make up, hair-unwashed-in-a-ponytail, and I just throw something on so I'm not late for my class that starts in 20 minutes.

Around mid-October, I went to New Orleans for the ACP/CMA National College Media Convention with my university's newspaper.<br />
<br />
The city is rich with jazz music, delicious food, and plenty of nude people roaming the bustling city night life. I stayed in the French Quarter, the oldest neighborhood in the city. Although it's called the "French Quarter," the beautiful architecture is influenced by Spanish tastes, under whom the city was ruled at the time the area was built.<br />
<br />
The sites I visited:<br />
<br />
<b>1. The French Quarter</b><br />
<b>2. Café du Monde</b><br />
- "The original French Coffee Stand." Oh the beignets! French donuts covered in powdered sugar. My mouth never tasted such a thing! You must try them if you go to New Orleans.<br />
<b>3. Bourbon Street</b><br />
- The is the reason mont people come to New Orleans. Parties all over the street. Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties. Nude Parties. Every where. Don't go to Bourbon Street if you can't handle the smell of alcohol, weed, and nudity.<br />
<b>4. The Andrew Jackson Memorial</b><br />
- While I agree with any human being that Andrew Jackson was a terrible man, I just wanted to see a piece of history. And, I was walking distance from my hotel.<br />
<b>5. The Saint Louis Cathedral</b><br />
- I didn't do the tour because we just didn't have time, but I stepped inside really quick to see if the beauty on the inside matched the outside. I was right, it did.<br />
<br />
We also got to see the annual Halloween Parade, which was rad, let me tell you!<br />
<br />
If you've been to New Orleans, and did something else I didn't do, tell me about it!<br />

There are certain flavors and spices I associate with certain times of the year. Cinnamon is one spice where when I taste it - be it in a drink, a cookie, or what have you, I think of the Holidays. The way some people are religious about not putting up Christmas decor before Thanksgiving is over, I can't eat cinnamon any other time of the year. But come time for the Holidays, I can't get enough of it.<br />
<br />
If you share my love of cinnamon around the holidays, or just love cinnamon in general, get a load of this recipe.<br />
<br />
1 cup sugar<br />
1/2 cup butter<br />
1 large egg<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla<br />
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon<br />
1 teaspoon baking powder<br />
1/4 teaspoon salt<br />
cinnamon sugar (for rolling cookie dough in)<br />
<br />
1. Unlike the original recipe, I warmed the butter up enough in to microwave to be just slightly melted, but still mostly solid. I found it sort of exhausting to get all the dry flour mixed in well.<br />
<br />
2. Mix ingredients in a bowl. Make sure butter and egg is mixed evenly.<br />
<br />
3. Refrigerate until firm. I left mine in for about 45 minutes.<br />
<br />
4. Roll into balls. I actually played around with the size of the balls so I could see which size I like best. Truthfully, I liked the larger one, about 1 1/12 inch in diameter.<br />
<br />
5. Bake at 350<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">° </span>for 10-15 minutes, depending how crispy you want them.<br />
<br />
Let cool for a few minutes. Enjoy!<br />

Truthfully, I'm not completely sold on the idea of not being able to feel cheery about Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving. It brings people together. Why can't I slowly start to put up Christmas decorations, or light the Christmas scented candles already?<br />
<br />
Sure, I love the lights, and the all the other decorations. But, it has the wonderful ability to fly in in family members from all of the country to spend the Holidays with you. Or, create a reason for people host festive parties to bring old friends back that you haven't seen in the last year because of your busy lives.<br />
<br />
I hate the pressure that is put on family members to buy and spend outrageous amount of money on Christmas gifts. I love the idea of WANT, NEED, WEAR, READ. Something Wanted. Something Needed. Something to Wear. and Something to Read. Four small presents for someone you love. This is something Daniel and I will most likely practice with each other and our children in the future.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12536079536927072793noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328795930312133850.post-20943020187788296802013-07-02T11:38:00.001-05:002013-07-02T11:48:34.429-05:00Casual in a Keds kind of way.<br />

I want to share my love of Keds with you for just a moment. I wore Keds as a little girl, when I was in high school, and I have continued wearing them into adulthood. In fact, the first time Daniel and I saw each other, I was wearing a pair of plain white Keds, over which we occasionally reminisce.<br />
<br />
On another note, I've had something very heartbreaking happen to me. The one material thing I've cherished for so long is my dslr camera. I worked for three months at my very first job to pay for that wonderful friend. Taking pictures has been a passion of mine for so long, and the very thought of someone stealing my camera makes me sick every time I think about. Digital pictures will be rather scarce on my blog until I can save up enough money to but another camera. But, I suppose this will give me a chance to delve back into my film camera.<br />

Thomas and Conor left for Quebec yesterday; they will be gone for more than a month to immerse themselves in French culture. We spent nearly the entire week having festivities to celebrate our friends' departure, because the next time we'll be seeing them is when school starts. By then we will be burying our noses in academia. Daniels apartment has been littered with dishes reminiscing of good food we ate and laughter we shared.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12536079536927072793noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328795930312133850.post-65604530674145559952013-06-27T15:17:00.003-05:002013-06-29T10:12:43.485-05:00Our Engagement Photos.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Being an art minor means I've got creative friends in all the right places. It's great! Our friend, <a href="http://brenandring.blogspot.com/">Brena</a>, did our engagement photos as a wedding present. Here are a few of the photos! She did a marvelous job, didn't she!<br />

Daniel has allowed me to help him decorate the bachelor's pad he and his school chum will be sharing for the next two years of their college careers. Truth be told, he (and I!) doesn't like the idea of giving off a "bare college kid apartment" kind of feel. He was it to be a place of studious work and a place of gathering for friends and family. I absolutely obliged to his request for coziness. I am on a mission to help make his new home as home-y as it can possibly be.<br />

Is there anything better than a lazy Sunday morning?<br />
<br />
Ashley came over to my apartment this morning after church, and we made blueberry muffins for breakfast, washed down with piping hot coffee. While we ate, we listened to one of our favorite radio shows- NPR's "Says You".<br />
<br />
Ashley and I are both very fond of listening to public radio, and we tune in frequently to our local station, WPLN in Nashville, TN.<br />

Do you remember the <a href="http://slightlyelegant.blogspot.com/2013/06/recipe-nutella-crepes.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">crepes</span></a> I made that had the strawberry toppings on them from my last post? I thought it would be better to do the topping as it's own recipe because this topping is great on more than just crepes. So here's how you make it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-vwgZxXr7PktMM3b3q7lRpntlA2QrZRMtWnqZlovsONhzD5W-bY2lXduBWW2hGIrxM-NqJDK4r04XZvd7wwpVyhpeBCOWAKSF9q5hux45jbTRHsqPJCgOLCpkBg_4XpahFhJZ9DnH8xo/s1600/strawberrytopping.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-vwgZxXr7PktMM3b3q7lRpntlA2QrZRMtWnqZlovsONhzD5W-bY2lXduBWW2hGIrxM-NqJDK4r04XZvd7wwpVyhpeBCOWAKSF9q5hux45jbTRHsqPJCgOLCpkBg_4XpahFhJZ9DnH8xo/s640/strawberrytopping.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Ingredients:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2 cups of fresh strawberries, sliced</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1/3 cup of white sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1 teaspoon of vanilla</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1. Combine strawberries, sugar, and vanilla in saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally. (You will hear the ingredients sizzle at first, that's perfectly alright.) Using a wooden spoon mash the strawberries to help create the juice. Cook for 15 minutes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2. (Optional): You can puree your strawberry topping for a more smooth looking topping. I prefer mine with the chunks of strawberries. This is also great on angel food cake!</div>

I love, love, love crepes. Especially with Nutella in them. So here's a recipe to use when you want to serve a sweet, tasty breakfast or even a dessert!<br />

<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1 cup all-purpose flour<br />
2 eggs<br />
1/2 cup milk<br />
1/2 water<br />
1/4 teaspoon salt<br />
2 tablespoons butter, melted<br />
Nutella<br />
<br />
1. Whisk flour, eggs, milk, and water. Add salt and butter, beat until smooth.<br />
<br />
2. Heat oiled frying pan over medium high heat. Pour scoop of batter into griddle, making circular motions until the frying pan is cover in thin layer of batter. (How much you use per scoop depends on how big your frying pan is, and how think you desire your crepes.)<br />
<br />
3. Cook crepe until lightly brown on botton side, flip and cook other side until lightly brown. Be careful not to overcook one or both sides because crepe may become crunchy and useless for filling.<br />
<br />
4. Spread Nutella over the flat crepe, and roll. Top with strawberries, powdered suger, or eat them just the way they are!<br />
<br />
Yummo! Let me know how if you try this out!<br />
<br />

I start summer classes Monday that go through August. While I'm going to miss the laziness of being out of school, I'm also excited to finally start my upper division classes for my major. The means classes that are called "system and design analysis" and "database administration." Scary sounding and intimidating, I know. But, I also get to take really excited classes like "web development" and multimedia tools and techniques," which is editing and creating images for the web.<br />
<br />
Oh, I don't know if I've told you or not, but I'm an art AND math minor now. Yep, I said it. MATH. There are so many uses for upper level maths in not only computer science that can be so useful to know, but also is art. I want to be able to create beautiful content for the internet and web, and math just has so many uses for it. I suppose it's a good thing I'm way better in math than I ever was in English or Foreign Languages. I took French in high school, and sadly, I don;t even remember how to count in French.<br />
<br />
Au Revoir! That's really about it. Sigh.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. The South. You can buy sweet tea at just about any restaurant. It's even sold by the gallons in stores here in Tennessee.<br />
2. College. As much as I complain about not getting enough sleep and having to much homework, I do really love college. I'll be sad when I leave.<br />
3. Warm weather. I don't do good when it's cold outside. Don't get me wrong, I love the cold. But, I'm also ready to spend my lazy summer days out by the water.<br />
4. Sleep. Oh, how've missed you during the school year!<br />
5. Fresh bread. I've been able to cook some with all my free time!<br />
6. The pool. Need I say more?<br />
7. A watch. Really, with all the sleeping I'v been doing, I need to make sure I get to work on time!<br />
8. Friends. What better way to spend a summer than with friends<br />
9. Smoothies.<br />
10. A car with great gas mileage. Daniel's gone home for the summer, so it's great to have a reliable car than take me to a place hours away from here.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last weekend, I brought my friend Brena along to visit Daniel. He's home from college for the summer. We planned an outing in Franklin, Tennessee, and we all thought it would be the perfect place and for Brena to take our pictures. Daniel and I had our first date in Franklin nearly two years ago!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Franklin can be considered a sort of "hipsterish" town, bustling with people with a sense of style and a love for coffee, tea, and cute indie shops.</div>

I'm so excited to see our photos soon!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ingredients:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4 1/2 Cups White Bread Flour (Plus Extra for dusting)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 1/2 tsp Salt</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 1/2 tsp Active Dry Yeast</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil (plus extra for brushing)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 1/4 cup Lukewarm Water</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Course Sea Salt</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Minced Garlic</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Directions:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Sift flour and salt together into a large bowl. Add yeast.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, add 4 tablespoons of oil and lukewarm water, and mix until the dough begins to leave the side of the bowl. Dough should be intact, but can be very sticky, but do not add more flour. Turn out unto a lightly covered counter and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Brush bowl with oil. Shape dough into ball and place in bowl. Cover with a damp dish towel. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour. (I let mine sit outside on the patio table. It is currently 80 degreses outside) Dough should double in size.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Preheat oven to 400 degree Fahrenheit/200 degrees Celcius. Place risen dough on dusted counter top and knead for 1 minute. Roll out to desired shape. (I like mine in a rectangular shape.) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Optional: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(This step can be done before cooking, after, or cooked for 20 minutes, spread the garlic and salt and cooked for another 5 minutes. I choose to cook before. It will turn the garlic brown if you choose to do it before.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Coat with olive oil, and sprinkle desired amount of sea salt onto dough. Using a spoon spread desired amount of garlic into dough.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Cook for 25 minutes or until gold brown. Let cool slightly then serve warm. Enjoy!</div>

First of all, forgive my chipped toe nail polish. No matter how much free time I have, I will never keep up with painting my nails. I've just never been able to do it. An update of my job: I've been working at a gently used clothing store called Clothes Mentor for almost a year now. I need to tell you how much I love it. SO have you ever heard of Plato's Closet? It's really similar, but Clothes Mentor is for women ages 20-55 where they can sell their gently used name brand clothes. A lady brought in these vintage ray-bans to sell, and I just HAD to have them.</div>

Over the school year, I have little time to actually good myself food that's worth while, so really I eat a bunch of junk. While I would choose not to have it this way, when working and going to school full time, healthy food is something I neglect because I'm always on the go. This summer I have a goal. And that goal is to eat good and bake every single one of the recipes over the summer in the recipe book Daniel gave me on our first anniversary.</div>
