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.

Doritos Pumpkin cheese ball

1 Block cream cheese ½ C salsa (pace salsa works best) 2-3 C crushed nacho doritos Bell pepper stem Small round bowl Press and seal wrap Non-stick spray Mix with an electric mixer the cream cheese and salsa. I mix it well and until it is quite creamy/fluffy. Place a piece of press and seal over a small bowl and spray with nonstick spray. Put in cream cheese and salsa mixture and wrap up. Let chill overnight or at least 2 hours. When ready to serve unwrap ball and roll in crushed doritos and top with a bell pepper stem. I like to serve it with blue tortilla chips for Halloween, this is also great for Thanksgiving.
