Spoil Yourself

Having it all doesn't have to cost a fortune! Spoiling yourself can come at a great price if you know how to do it! For example, my amazing purchase of the day - A 1 Year Subscription to Dwell Magazine for under $5! No, seriously.

 
 
 
                                                                            
 

How to score it:

Years ago a coworker (and extreme couponer) shared an amazing website with me that has probably been the best money saver I have ever used! Remember when I say that you should always start any online purchase at Ebates.com! They give you a percentage of online purchases back in cash, just by going through their site! Once you have created a free account, search on their site for the store you are shopping from, in this case Best Deal Magazines, where you can currently get 10% cash back. 

On the Best Deal Magazine site, Dwell is currently $5.95! There is a Mother's Day coupon code that will take it down to $4.94! Don't forget you are also getting 10% cash back, making your year subscription to Dwell magazine $4.45! That's less than my Starbucks drink. Holy cow. How easy was that?!

Tapenade Style Spaghetti

Lately my culinary creations have been inspired by lack of groceries! I was wanted to make spaghetti but had no ground turkey, so I improvised and threw together what turned out to be an amazingly delicious tapenade style spaghetti sauce. Vegan friendly!
 
 

Ingredients:

- 1 can of quartered artichokes
- Approximately 1 cup pitted olives (I used green and kalmata)
- A couple cloves of fresh garlic
- Approximately 1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach (thawed)
- 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon basil
- 1 jar Newman's Own Marinara Sauce
- 1 package spaghetti noodles

Directions:

I'm pretty sure you know how to make spaghetti, so while spaghetti noodles are cooking, throw drained artichokes, olives, garlic, and spinach into a food processor or blender until desired consistancy. Heat marinara sauce on medium low heat and add olive mixture, red pepper and basil. When it is done, throw it on top of your noodles and enjoy!

Now that my What About Yves tee has finally arrived, I can check it off my wish list. Meanwhile my love for Senso shoes grows daily. It was truly love at first sight. Every shoe they make is absolute perfection and I am saving up for my perfect match! These Acne sunnies are also heaven sent and would make the perfect addition to every outfit . Oh how these beauties haunt me!

Obsessed

 IGGY AZALEA
 


22 year old Australian beauty Amethyst Amelia Kelly is both model and hip hop artist, with an amazing taste for fashion, art and music. Her first single "Work" was just released from her upcoming album The New Classic.

 



I am totally obsessed with everything about this video. The styling is so perfect. Right off the bat when I first saw her in those Minimale Animale swimsuits, I knew it was over. Iggy is every girl's living dream come true. From the looks of it, when she eats a cupcake it really does go straight to her butt, completely bypassing every other part of her insane model body.




 
 
Iggy rocks those swimsuits better than anyone else can, but if you're brave enough you can buy them here and here.
