Shanna for a little Random Wednesday fun.!

-one- I am obsessed with music that just grab the soul and speaks to it. So I heard this artist last night from a friend and now I am obsessed. Ladies and Gents her name is Lindsey Stirling and she is amazing!

-two- I am a huge lover of the holiday season and I am so excited that it is finally here. can I tell you 22 days till Thanksgiving and 48 Days till Christmas..! You know Holiday is in full swing when Starbucks breaks out the holiday cups!

-three- I am so grateful to call these girls my best friends. They are the best.! #myfriendsarebetterthanyours #myfriendsarebabes

-four- So I get horribly dry scalp in the winter time because of the colder weather and my dry skin. I was told to try this mint conditioner from biolage and I am officially in love. I only use it a couple times a week, so I don't get product build up. This conditioner is thick and creamy, but it is awesome and hello too no dryness.

-five- I am still completely in love with my car and it only cost me 40.00 last week to fill her up. Talk about exciting.!

well have a good hump day everyone.!

much love, kenzie.

Ghosts of Halloween Pasts

Happy Halloween Ladies and Gents

I have always been a lover of Halloween and yes, I have always been that girl that spends a lot of time thinking about what I am going to dress up as. I had it all planned out this year, I kid you not. But then I woke up super late this morning. No time to even look at myself in the mirror and contemplate what I was going to do with the mess my hair was. I threw on a beanie, clothes, and ran out the door.

Ladies and Gents I give you the costume this year.

Now I didn’t do the headband, because I always get horrible headaches from those skinny hair elastic type headbands. So I just opt out of doing the headband with this outfit.

Who cares anyways right, and if you do… shut it.

When I read this quote below I laughed so hard, because I have to admit; I have been there.

"In the regular world, Halloween is when children dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." Mean Girls.

And after spending hours searching for evidence, I could only find one picture. Yeah,, for a girl who takes a million photos. How in the world do I not have a million photos of my Halloween costumes.?

This is the one and only photo I can find.

But Ladies and Gents,,

This is my dad. He is the same Alien, year after year. And it never gets old.

Happy Halloween Everyone.

Have Fun & Be Safe!

Chicken Stir Fry

Clean Eating

As I have strived to become the best me, I made the decision to start eating clean. Now, don't get me wrong. I have made a few horrible eating choices, but you can't change your entire eating habits all in one week. You can just do your best and give it your all. My weakness I have found out is 1) Lunch Time and 2) Dinner Out. Since I go to work early, I don't leave myself much time in the morning to get a lunch prepped and ready to go. So, I have been planning out meals that I will take with me.

Second, I go out to dinner with friends a lot. I usually eat whatever sounds good and enjoy a drink with it. I need to start making healthier choices while I am out to dinner. I won't stop eating out, just cause I am changing my eating habits. I am just going to become smarter about the choices I make. So, wish me luck in the week to come with meal prep.

Chicken Stir Fry

I have been in search of yummy, easy, and healthy recipes a lot lately.

Well I found this one. Simple, Easy, and Quick.

Ingredients

Brown Rice – Cook as Directed

4 cups Water

2/3 cup Soy Sauce

1/4 cup Brown Sugar

1 tablespoon Corn Starch

1 tablespoon Minced Ginger

1 tablespoon Minced Garlic

1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

3 Skinless, Boneless Chicken Breast Halves, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon Sesame Oil

1 Green Bell Pepper, cut into matchsticks

1 8oz can of Water Chestnuts, drained

1 head Broccoli, broken into florets

1 cup Sliced Carrots

1 Onion, cut into chunks

Directions

Cook the Rice as instructed on Package.

Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, and corn starch in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Mix ginger, garlic, and red pepper into sauce; coat chicken with marinade and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir bell pepper, water chestnuts, broccoli, carrots, and onion until just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove vegetables from skillet and keep warm.

Remove chicken from marinade, reserving liquid. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken until slightly pink on the inside, about 2 minutes per side; return vegetables and reserved marinade to skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until chicken is longer pink in the middle and vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve over rice.

A few Healthy Tips:

Most Stir Fry Recipes call for White Rice - Use Brown Rice or Shirataki Noodles

Don't overdue it on the oil. Small Amounts.

Make veggies the star of your dish - Bell Peppers, Squash, Carrots, Celery, Broccoli, Cauliflower, or whatever sounds good.

Don't buy ready made sauce from the store. It may be quick and easy, but homemade sauces are much better for you. If you don't like the one about try this Spicy Ginger Sauce.

Green Tea is a great drink to go along with Stir Fry, but the boost to your metabolism is an added bonus. Plus hey, it cleans your palate so you taste all the flavors.

I hope you enjoy.

Kenzie.

Weekend Shenanigans

I don’t know if my extreme tiredness this morning is from a lack of sleep last night, the migraine I have had for a week straight, or the fact that I hit snooze for 45 minutes this morning. All I know; I am exhausted and I really wish I had a Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha right about now. All complaining aside, it is Monday and I need to get my butt in gear to get some work done.

Anywayss,, lets catch up Monday with some Weekend Shenanigans

-Friday-

Kati and I had plans to drive to Cedar and attend The Scream. Which is a massive Halloween party thrown at Southern Utah University. When it came down to it though, neither of us wanted to be in a room where people were on top of each other and pushing around. So we opted out and hung out with some cool boys at George’s. More low key and our kind of fun!

-Saturday-

I took my brother Levi and his friend Ashton to Mesquite for the first SkyDiving experience. I absolutely loved my new outfit that day! Click Here for the Outfit Detail.

-Sunday-

I am getting on the Sons of Anarchy band wagon. I started watching the episodes over the weekend and now I am in love. Season 1 Episode 9 is where I currently am.. 5 more season to go till I am up and current with the show.

I also started planning my meal prep for this next week. Looks like Chicken, Turkey, Brown Rice, Sweet Potatoes, Green Beans, and Salad will be on the forecast for this next week.

Hope you all have a fabulous Monday..!

Much Love, Kenzie.

Eye Candy.

Happy Thursday Everyone.

I hope you are all enjoying your day,, I haven't had much time to work on this post today. Late post is better than no post;; right.? So its time for a little celebrity gossip.

topic: 50 Shades of Grey.

Just a shy 12 days after Charlie Hunnam stepped down from playing the role of Christian Grey, they have found someone else to step into the shoes and fulfill our fantasies. Ladies,, contain yourself. Gah, he is gorgeous! Jamie Dornan.

 

Now tell me he doesn’t fit your fantasy of Mr. Christian Grey,, to perfection.

"Holy cow—he's so young." Young.

"So young—and attractive, very attractive. He's tall, dressed in a fine gray suit, white shirt, and black tie with unruly dark copper-colored hair and intense, bright gray eyes that regard me shrewdly." So young – and attractive, very attractive. Tall. Tousled Copper Hair. Bright Gray Eyes.

"He smiles, revealing perfect white teeth. I stop breathing. He really is beautiful. No one should be this good-looking." Perfectly white teeth.

"His voice is warm, possibly amused, but it's difficult to tell from his impassive expression. He looks mildly interested but above all, polite." Warm and Polite.

 Okay girls, let’s get ourselves together. "He really is very, very good-looking. It's unnerving." Jesus, Girl, hold it together.. He is just on a movie screen in front of you. With his shirt off; doing naughty, naughty things.

Haha,, okay. Seriously though, isn’t he gorgeous? I think he fits the image of what I have in my mind for Mr. Christian Grey, to perfection.

 your welcome.

kenzie.
