Birchbox Love

I've become a huge fan of Birchbox if you haven't heard of it I suggest you check it out!!! It's only $10 a month and you receive up to five beauty products. I never know whats new or in with beauty products, but now that I have Birchbox I really don't have to worry about that anymore.  I can honestly say that I have learned so much.

One product that I fell in love with this month was the Mirenesse Mattfinity Lip Rouge in a shade called Paris. I was very hesitant at first because the shade is something that I usually would not wear, but that all changed once I tried it out. It went on smooth and I loved the matte finish, it stayed on for hours even after I ate. I would totally recommend this product to all my lipstick loving friends out there!

The second product I fell in love with is the Gorjana Brinkley Necklace. I'm not big on flashy jewelry, so this necklace is perfect for me. This is a necklace you could wear everyday or pair with a cute outfit for a night out.

O'Melveny Hiking Trail

I decided to take my dog Rebel hiking because it's been a while since I've taken her. We went to O'Melveny Park in Granada Hills, CA because I didn't feel like going on a super crowded trail with lots of people and no parking. O'Melveny park is a great place to take your dog hiking they even have a dog water fountain connected to the regular water fountain.  The trail is great for beginners and experienced hikers and the view at the top is amazing. The only thing I recommend is making sure you are aware of your surroundings because the last couple of times I've hiked this trail I've seen rattle snakes, other than that this trail is awesome!

Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken with Asparagus

This is an easy dinner to make when you're tired and want something that doesn't take that long to make. It's actually quite healthy, except for the cream. My boyfriend and I made this together and we both loved it!! I kind of messed up and poured the sauce all over the chicken, but it was still amazing.

I promise to get better with my food presentation. lol 

Ingredients:

• 1 pound chicken breast, sliced thin (2-3 breasts)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons flour, or more
• 4 slices prosciutto
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 bunch asparagus 
• 1/4 cup basil pesto
• 1/3 cup cream

Instructions:

1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.

2. Rub the chicken with flour. Wrap each piece of chicken with a piece of prosciutto.

3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil on medium. When it is hot, add the wrapped chicken. Cook for 5-6 minutes more, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes or so, until browned and it reaches 165 degrees. 

4. Next, add about 3 inches of water to a small pot, cover and let it boil. Wash off the asparagus and cut off the woody ends. Cut the asparagus into 2 inch pieces. Cook for 5 minutes, or until tender. 

5. In a small bowl whisk together pesto and cream. When the chicken is fully cooked, pour the mixture over the chicken, and add the asparagus. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn off the heat. Serve by itself or with a side. 

Dog In Need Of Home

This little guy is in need of a good home! He was found roaming the streets by himself. My friend can't keep him and either can I. We really don't want him to get sent to the pound. His age is uncertain, but he's definitely a sweetheart. 

If you or someone you know want to adopt him please message me ASAP.
