Giveaway on Natasha's Kitchen Blog!

2013-11-18T11:49:00.001-08:00

Good day to all of you!

I have been a bit busy with my new life as a wife and haven't had a chance to blog about our wedding or any of the juicy details, but I am planning on it in the coming weeks. For now I am too busy with trying to figure out how to be a full-time working wife and take care of my husband as well. I have been relying on the internet to help me out with those problems. I can cook up a storm in the kitchen but lately I have been so caught up at work and haven't had time to be creative in the kitchen which is why I had to use Natasha's awesomely amazing website to help me out with the few problems. Her website features a huge variety of very easy to follow recipes for Russian/Ukrainian food. I have to thank her for saving me from a huge headache a couple times last week. Which brings me to this post, I saw that she had a great giveaway for a $100 dollar gift card to Crate & Barrel. You know that this deffinetely caught my eye as I am still in the process of making our appartment a wonderfully cozy little home that we can come to every evening and spend quality time with each other. One of her requirements was to feature her in a blog post which was not hard at all since I love her website and have been using it for years! I am very excited for this giveaway and wish good luck to all of the wonderful ladies who entered. Thank you Natasha for giving me and the other gals out there an opportunity to look like superwomen with our creations in the kitchen due to your easy recipes!

If you haven't heard of Natasha yet you can visit her website here.
I was also very excited when she created a YouTube account because it's even easier to follow instructions when someone shows you how to do it. Her YouTube name is Natasha's Kitchen Blog or you can simply find her by clicking the link here.

{Showered With Love}

2013-08-13T01:43:00.004-07:00

My bridal shower was the most prettiest bridal shower ever because it was so outdoors and included lots of flowers, candles, lace, and most importantly, books! The girls know how much I love books so they made my shower book themed. I was blown away at how beautiful everything was and at how many girls came to share my happiness with me. I am still speechless from the countless blessings in my life. I will forever remember this day as a happy one where I got to be with those that love me and be showered with love from everyone. Everything was so beautiful, the food was amazingly delicious, and the girls were gorgeous! Thank you each and every one of you for attending and spending time with me before I move away. Also, a great big thank you to my bridesmaids for putting so much time and effort into making it a dream come true! I don't know how I could ever repay you for all that you have done. I love you girls!

{Welcoming Autumn}

2012-10-11T10:33:00.000-07:00

Those long balmy summer days are over and fall is evidently in the air. You can smell it, literally. The fresh crispness of the air, the crunchiness of the leaves, and the fireplace burning somewhere in the neighborhood. But before the smell you can see it. The leaves slowly start changing colors. First it's very vague and just a speck of yellow there and smatter of red there, but in no time at all, overnight it seems, all of the trees are wearing their autumn dresses of red, yellow, orange, gold, and brown. It is a majestic transformation that catches your breath each and every time you look at it.

'Tis the season for long comfy cardigans, scarves wrapped around our necks, tall ridding boots, and steaming mugs of spiced hot apple cider. For all those romantics out there fall season means it's time to curl up with a good book at a local coffee shop or to cuddle with a loved one under the stars. My favorite part of fall is taking long walks with my sisters whether it be during the day or night. I love stomping all over the crunchy leaves as I breathe in the crisp fresh autumn air.

This season do something that you enjoy most about fall. Or be like me and write a bucket list of ALL of the fall activities you wish to partake in. I'm hoping to make it to apple hill and munch on some crunchy apples, eat apple pie, drink apple cider, and most importantly, pick apples. The other fall activity on my list is visiting a corn maze. I am intrigued by corn mazes because I love mysterious things. It's the hopeless romantic in me that enjoys all things mysterious. Some of the things that I hope to do this fall also include baking, scrap-booking, and taking gorgeous shots of everything I do along the way! I welcome autumn with open arms and always wish that this season lasted longer than it does.

{Forgiveness Is Good For the Soul}

2012-10-02T21:04:00.003-07:00

There are times when we are so discouraged because no matter how nice we are our friends seem to not notice it. Oftentimes we are stabbed in the back for no apparent reason. Sometimes I just want to pay back for all of the wrongs that were committed towards me. But then I think about it and I remember a very important factor. I am a Christian and it's a sin to strike out towards those who have wronged us. Jesus died for our sins and we can't even forgive each other. Think about what He did for us and what kind of love He had towards us. The next time a person hurts you and it's so hard for you to forgive them, remember this one thing; Jesus forgave you and them for all of the sins you committed. He forgave your friend that hurt you, he forgave your enemy that also hurt you two THOUSANDyears ago. Why is it so hard for us, sinners, to forgive those who have wronged us? This should definitely be a little passage of thought to remember each time it is hard to forgive a wrong that was committed against us.

*Inspiration: I heard this on K-Love today (reworded in my own thoughts)

{Very Unexpected Sweet Tooth?}

2012-09-26T14:27:00.000-07:00

If you are anything like me then you have a tooth for spicy savory foods and sweets have always been on the back plan. I have always been like that. I would choose a sandwich over a cupcake any day. This has not been the case lately. I have started craving chocolate and anything to do with sugar intensely. I decided to look it up because I got a little curious as to why I'm suddenly experiencing a major sweet tooth? I have also noticed that I have a problem concentrating or remember the most basic concepts. My head would be aching for days unless I had some sugar. I knew that this was not like me, so I have done some research about it and here's what I came up with.

Sudden craving for sugar means your blood sugar is low. Glucose (sugar) is a very vital source for energy and when it runs low you start shaking and get very weak. Many people may faint. Others have trouble speaking and concentrating. This condition is called hypoglycemia. It usually occurs in people who have diabetes and for those people who don't have diabetes it may show that there is some sort of problem with some other areas like the pancreas.

A couple of things to do if you are experiencing a sudden unexpected craving for sugar is to get a check up, but meanwhile to be very careful on the roads. Many people who suffer from hypoglycemia don't realize that they are having one of the "episodes" until it's too late. Always carry a quick-fix with you in case you feel a little light-headed and dizzy.

I am a little informed now and the sudden sweet tooth isn't so mysterious anymore.

{You're Beautiful Just the Way You Are}

2012-09-15T14:47:00.000-07:00

Over the years as I was growing up I have been battling with self-confidence issues. I never felt like I was beautiful or even pretty, maybe just cute on my good days. But the majority of the time I was self-conscious about my appearance and did not feel confident in my own skin at all. I would always have something very mean to say about my appearance especially regarding my weight and face. I never felt comfortable and would always call myself "fat" or "ugly". This past year I have been learning just how wrong I am. Every time I say something like purely out of habit I cringe on the inside. I am so sad that I have grown up thinking negatively about myself and for not thanking God for all that He has done for me. He created me healthy; I have legs and arms that work, eyes that see, ears that hear and I have forgotten to stop and thank Him for all of that. Instead I was hurting Him by calling myself, His creation, all sorts of mean names. I am so embarrassed by my actions and am regretting all of the words I said. I want to take them all back because what I should have been doing the whole time was praising and glorifying God for His love and grace.

I have realized just how beautifully God has created me and how thankful I should be to Him that He created me that way. I want to encourage each and one of you to stop and think about the things we have been hating on and upset about and rethink them all. I want each one of us to stop and think and make a list (be it on a paper or in our minds) about all the amazing things God gave us. Think about all of those people out there that are blind, deaf, missing limbs, starving, tortured, beaten and thank God for our own lives. We are truly blessed and so lucky. Never forget that no matter how you look, it was God who created you and you are beautiful to Him because you are His creation. Stop and think that before you go on to say how ugly or fat you are. It has definitely changed in my life. I have decided to honor the temple that is my body by treating it right and taking care of it. I eat right and participate in a healthy lifestyle and love my body!

{A Healthier You Equals a Happier You- Food Tips to Fight Off the Blues}

2012-09-08T20:21:00.000-07:00

I have a few tips I have researched to help all of you dear readers become healthier and to help you overcome those "blues" that sometimes seem to want to drag you down. Don't let the bad mood ruin your entire day, instead try to get rid of it as fast as you can.

Source <3

For those days when you are feeling sluggish: Instead of reaching for the second or third cup of coffee, try a spinach salad instead.

If you are PMSing: We all know how that can ruin a whole day or even a couple of days. Well do not despair, but instead eat an egg-salad sandwich. It's normal to crave carbs when you are PMSing, but you should try to control that but opting for the "healthier" carbs and an egg-salad sandwich on wheat bread is perfect!

Feeling a little sad? Whole grain cereal with low fat milk is your best buddy and it will meet your vitamin D and calcium needs.

For the time when you are stressed: do not be weary of chocolate because it will actually help you relax. Obviously the dark chocolate is the healthier choice, but if you really hate dark chocolate then eat your milk chocolate because it will de-stress you.

Are you feeling angry? Reach for that green tea before you lash out and make matters worse.It will help to calm you down and let you think clearly which is a great idea epecially if you are angry at someone like your boss.

There are days when you are just downright cranky: this is the day to grab an apple smear some peanut butter on it and munch on it and after a while your cranky mood will be gone. This can also be used when you are tired and still have a couple more hours to go at school or on the job because it gives that boost of energy that lasts for a long time.

Are you feeling anxious? We all do once in a while. Well salmon will help you with that because salmon is full of omega-3 fatty acids (those things work magic on anxiety).

Here is a list of a few other foods to turn to in case you are having a bad day and don't have all of the things listed above:

-Greek yogurt
-asparagus
-honey
-cherry tomatoes
-eggs
-coconut

{A few random thoughts}

2012-09-06T17:16:00.000-07:00

Hello all my loveys,

I have been a bit busy with the fall semester starting at college that I haven't been able to get to my blogging although I have been wanting to post something for a couple of days.

I'm so excited for something that is very close to coming. I know that in many parts of the world fall has already begun, but here in sunny California it takes its sweet ole time getting here which makes me anxious because I absolutely adore autumn! I'm a freak about it in some ways. I love everything that is correlated to autumn. In fact, it makes me giddy. I absolutely adore all of the fall fashion. I enjoy hot drinks like hot cocoa and coffee with a pastry, muffin, or pie. I could keep going on and on but I won't bore you with my ramblings and obsession about fall. One thing I can say is that I hate living in California because our fall doesn't last long enough for me. Does anyone know a place where autumn is beautiful and lasts super long?

Here's what I have been up to:

trying to be more healthy

some pretty flowers I saw while jogging one early morning

yummy juicy peaches, these are my favorite!

some homemade crepes with mint tea, yummmmmmy!

August 27th was back to school for me

mint tea and a nectarine

Chipotle burrito, never again..I will stick to my bowls

a friends wedding

my college campus

back to homework

cute baby brother

went to Stinson beach for Labor Day

{Major Change}

2012-08-23T18:44:00.000-07:00

My two most favorite things; books and autumn

So, I have been doing some research and surfing around online and have decided to change my major. I'm a little bit nervous because I have noticed the phrase, "What are you going to do with that major?" being used often in relation to the career path I'm interested in. Have you guessed what it is yet? I'll give you a hint, it has something to do with my all-time favorite things. Yep, I'm majoring in English. For those of you who know what kind of nerd I am this probably didn't come as much of a surprise as it would for those who didn't know this. I was at first looking into the Library Tech Program but it's just a certificate program and I want a degree and I could go on to be a librarian with my English major which is pretty awesome because by the time I get my BA I will be able to know more about what I'm very interested in doing.

Anyways, for those of you who think an English major is a foolish choice let me clear up all of the myths. First of all English majors could do more than just write and teach although this is what the majority of them do. I do think I would enjoy writing or teaching an English based class, I wouldn't do so well in teaching anything else though. Secondly the English major offers so much variety of work that it made me a little dizzy. You can become a script writer, or a speech writer, or you can work in advertising, law firm, or a publishing house. The line of work is amazing and the choices are broad. I'm excited to begin this journey and see where it takes me. But most importantly I'm happy to report that I will be doing something I love and something that makes me happy. Hopefully I didn't bore you with this long post.

Hello world and all of you lovely and gorgeous people,

I am doing a random post with no planning beforehand so excuse me if I get really random.

-I purchased some running shoes today! I'm super happy about that because they are super light. I have been using my mom's previously and they were big on me and kind of heavy. I also bought a pair of workout shorts.

-School starts in 10 days! I did some school supplies shopping already, but need to buy a few more things. It's always fun to shop for new school supplies, especially for a nerd like me. The smell of new paper makes me happy. As you can see I color coordinated my folders and notebook, this way I will know which notebook and folder goes for which subject :)

-I checked out a nerdy magazine from the library. It cracks me up so much when I told my sister the title of it and she gave me a blank look as if to say, "what in the world are you reading?"

Have a happy and safe rest of the week! I will be back with more posts!

{ Beauty & Health- Did You Know?}

2012-08-06T21:39:00.000-07:00

Did you know that sugar is a better exfoliater than salt?
The reason for this is that it's more gentle so it doesn't tear the skin. Dead skin cells need to be scrubbed off regularly so grab 2 Tbsp sugar and 3 Tbsp warm water and mix it until sugar melts, then apply gently to face and scrub. Rinse with warm water.

Did you know that coffee can be used not to only wake up your body, but also your skin?
Coffee masks are a popular thing because coffee has the magic stuff that seems to decrease the puffiness in the face and brighten your complexion!
Mix this mixture up in your own kitchen and see your face change from a dull color to a clean shiny color within minutes:
4 Tbsp of any kind of coffee that you have on hand
4 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
8 Tbsp dairy product (your choice of milk, yogurt, etc.) Optional substitute: egg or olive oil
2 Tbsp honey (for dry skin) or lemon juice (if you have oily skin)

Did you know that an average human being loses about 40 to 100 strands of hair per day?

Did you know that laughter reduces stress?

Did you know that it's possible to die from a broken heart? There is even a medical term for it, Stress Cardiomyopathy.

Hope you enjoyed these little tidbits of information and I will be back with more some other time. For now take care and enjoy the last few weeks of summer vacation!

{Quick Check In}

2012-07-25T13:01:00.002-07:00

Hey everybody!
It has hit me that my summer vacation is almost over and school is going to be here any minute. It makes me sad in a way, but also kind of excited because I missed school to tell you the truth!

What have I been up to? I have been trying to get into shape and have finally purchased myself some ankle weights and wrist weights! I'm very excited about this because I have been looking for them because I heard they help tone the legs and arms. I have found out that they are good for powerwalking but not so great for begineer joggers.

I have also decided to do a two week cleanse which includes:

no sugar at all
no cakes, candies, or coffee
2 hours of walking per day unless something doesn't work out then at least 1 hour
3 meals plus two snacks
no beef
yes to pork and chicken but in moderation
no beverages except water and green tea
practice portio cntrol
no eating after 7:30

Wish me luck!!

{The Girlie Stuff}

2012-07-19T16:17:00.005-07:00

If you are like most girls then you are very concerned about one of these things; your skin, your hair, your weight, your nails, and overall your appearance. I happen to fall in all of the categories listed above. My hair is sort of puffy so I have to always heat style it in order for it to be worthy of going out. My skin is decent with an occasional break out here and there, nothing major. My nails tend to chip really easily which is so not fun. But the main concern and topic to be discussed in this blog post would be my weight issue. I have a pear shaped body. For those who are not familiar with that, it's a body shape that is small on top and slightly heavier on the bottom (in my case, way heavier on bottom than on top which equal un proportional body shape). I have always wrestled with my body image and self esteem due to that. When I was a pre-teen I was quite heavy but around the age of 14 I lost almost all of my baby fat because I had a slight eating disorder. I started gaining weight again around the age of 17 and now I'm in the "unwanted zone". I have reached the level where I feel very uncomfortable with myself and have started annoying those people around me with my self-esteem issues. I have decided to resolve them though because I am tired of fighting with myself. Yes, I enjoy food and that will never change, but I have to do something about it before I end up weighing more than an elephant. I have been keeping a food diary which is an awesome thing to do because that way I am more aware of what I put in my mouth which in turn makes me eat less because I am constantly debating whether I want to write down a certain food that I ate. I'm not an athletic person at all so when I find those YouTube gurus that talk about losing weight I get somewhat discouraged as soon as they start talking about all the exercise involved in losing weight. I would rather starve than run a mile, but I know from experience that depriving yourself from food makes you gain weight even faster as soon as you put something fattening in your mouth. I am striving each and every day to achieve a goal and I have learned that cutting out a LOT (majority) of the foods I eat or at least resizing the portions has helped me lose at least 5 pounds in 2 months. I didn't work out much, because like I already said before I'm not athletic, but did stop eating fast food and drinking soda. This small change has been evident. I will be back with more of my losing weight updates next month. Wish me luck!

Stats:

Current Weight: 134.4 lbs

Goal: 125 lbs

{Camp Update}

2012-07-19T15:38:00.001-07:00

Hello all you people out there,

So, I'm back from camp and it was a great experience because I was out in the wild and got the whole experience of sleeping in a tent, running up a mountain, and sitting out by the fire way past midnight. I have to admit I'm not much of a camp person because I worry about getting dirty and my hair looking messy, but I managed to stay decently clean and wash my hair daily so it wouldn't get greasy. The thing that I enjoyed about camp the most was the evenings and nights because I'm a night person and enjoy being by a fire late into the night. The one really negative part from this camping experience was that I got really sick when I got back home. I'm not sure what made me sick, the cold water or the cold nights. Either way I'm stuck in bed for the second day now, but I'm not upset because it give me time to catch up on some reading.

{Summer To-Do List}

2012-07-12T12:08:00.000-07:00

Summer is the season where you can use the heat as an excuse to be lazy. It's also the season for lots of fun activities that you may not have time for come fall and the beginning of school. I am not a huge fan of summer because I don't enjoy the heat. I do not like sweating and being uncomfortable. I am also a person who's blood boils when the heat becomes unbearable, so I could be a pretty mean person unless you cool me down fast. I'm not a complete party pooper and still try to make the best of every season, and since summer is the time that I can actually not stress about homework I plan on doing some pretty neat things. Following is a list of things I did and want to do this summer.

-hang out at the library (the AC being the main reason why I'm attracted to that place)
-go to San Francisco, again (you can't blame me, I'm a hopeless romantic and that city is THE romantic spot that is pretty close)
-bonfire
-s'mores and hot dogs over bonfire
-write love letters
-sleep on the trampoline
-go camping (I'm leaving tomorrow)
-take pictures of the little details
-read for fun not for knowledge
-movie night with the girls and some junk food
-get a tan
-make at-home DIY face masks and pamper myself
-bake cupcakes
-watch fireworks
-beach time
-make lemonade
-try macaroons

I will update with pictures of things I do and more ideas if I think of any. Wish you all a happy summer!
