February's Fiscal Fashion Tips

**Spare Time Post**

These are my new fashion rules for 2014, and all without spending any $

1.What is old is new again. Meaning dig into the back of your closet and pull out some things you haven't worn in awhile.

2. Wear clothes you've bought and haven't worn. You know the ones in your closet with the price tags still on them. Either return them to the store already or wear them.

3. Create a new outfit. Pull out items and create an outfit from clothes that you already own.

4. Jazz it up with jewelry. Get out the costume jewelry and accessorize.

5. Repair before replacing. Fix the hem in those pants and sew that button on.


Now, Ladies don't panic. I'm not saying don't spend any money on clothes,
I am just saying to check your closet, there may be treasures to be found!

P.S. I'm totally guilty of the number 2 rule.
I found 6 7 items with the price tags still on them.
3 dresses, one of these I'm wearing this weekend to a wedding.
2 tops, one of these I'm returning and one I'm wearing this week.
1 skirt
I'm So Busted!

Peach on Earth

We had our Office Christmas Party the other day and decided on a three ingredient no-fail recipe! It always delivers and rarely leaves leftovers. Peach-BBQ Lil' Smokies 2-14 oz package of Lil' Smokies cocktail sausages 1-16 oz jar of Peach Preserves 1-16 oz bottle of BBQ sauce Put all ingredients into a crockpot, stir and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.  Serves 12-15, I would double for larger crowds.

Whip it Whip it good

Coconut whipped cream It's so good, it only requires 3 ingredients, it's vegan and has none of that artificial garbage. Yes, the can is upside down and yes it is necessary. It probably wasn't necessary to take a picture of it upside down, but it's funny so there! 1 can of full fat coconut milk, chill in fridge overnight 2 tsp sugar  1/2 tsp vanilla Put your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 5 minutes. Open coconut milk upside down, pour out the liquid and save for another use. Scoop out the cream and add to chilled bowl. Whip with electric mixers or a Kitchenaid mixer with paddle attachment. Add sugar and vanilla. Continue to whip until light and fluffy. Use this like cool whip, I even used it to make a layered oreo dessert it was delish!
