Tuesday Tastings | Delicious Creamy Cheese Grits

For anyone that's ever been to my house for breakfast, they've had the chance to experience my grits and when they do, the comment is always made, "What do you put in these grits? They're delicious!"

I've even been told on more than one occassion, "These are the best grits that I've ever had!"

When you're a little home-cooking-self-proclaimed-chef like me, that's the best thing that anyone could ever say to you.

MAC & Revlon Lipstick Haul

I believe I mentioned in my RiRi Woo post that I'd bought some other lipsticks and here they are!  I'd been after Candy Yum Yum in particular and lately it had been sold out and I'd been having no luck getting my hands on it.  The day came that RiRi Woo was to be released and while I waited on the MAC website I went on to check on some other lipsticks that I wanted to see if they were in stock.  MAC knew that I'd be looking obviously because Candy Yum Yum was suddenly available again.  I added it in my cart immediately along with Sounds Like Noise which is the bright orange you see below.

Beyonce for H&M

A few weeks ago, I shared on the FB Page that Beyonce and H&M had gotten together to collaborate on a summer collection titled Beyonce as Mrs.Carter for H&M.  The commercials that I've seen so far have me talking to the tv saying "Ok, Beyonce, girl! Werk it!" and today, I finally decided to go on over to the H&M website to see the full collection.

Rihanna Hearts MAC | RiRi Woo Swatches

My RiRi Woo lipstick, it's finally arrived! And as if it didn't take long enough to get here in the first place (woe is me, five days! hah!), UPS tried to give me a little trouble saying that they couldn't pull up my address.  Now, as many times in the last year that we've not only recieved packages at our very new address, we've also witnessed our neighbors receiving packages via UPS and noooow they want to act up?  Well, I told them to hold my package at the facility and I picked it up my darn self.  The last thing I needed was for them to come back and say that the package had been misplaced.  No ma'am, I'll take no chances.

So now that my baby is at home safe and sound.  I can show you the goods!

Tuesday Tastings | Chicken Pepper Steak & Rice

Since childhood, Pepper Steak and rice was a true favorite of mine.  And I believe I've said this before but I've gotten most of my cooking skills from my father as my mom wasn't much of a cook.  This particular dish, though,  was mom's specialty and was always perfection.  I looked forrward to each time she made it and thinking back, I don't think she made it as often as she should have.
