Into the future, on Netflix

Recently, on Netflix I watched a bunch of fantasy shows, where they go into the future. All different but somewhat the same, yet most tv shows always have a rise and fall. 

The first show I watched was revolution. It's about how one day all power gets turned off, and 15 years later this girl tries to figure out what happened 15 years ago. The first season was pretty interesting, second season gets kinda bland. I do although like the idea of going off the grid learning to survive without the means of electronic technology! Not permanently but it would be a nice skill to learn. 

This one is more further into the future, nuclear bombs went off due to wars and made the earth unlivable so everyone moved into space until radiation levels are safe. Hundred years or so years later they send 100 underage delinquents to see if earth is sustainable. This show is more for teens, but the fact that they come to earth after, and all the new things that has formed on earth makes this show interesting. 

Last into the future show I watched is, terra nova. This I found very interesting, except there is only one season. Way into the future, we ruin the earth from technology and polluting the air. I really don't know how to explain it but they go into time into a parrallel universe or something. And they go so far back with dinosaurs but yet they have all this interesting technology! The fact that they have to escape their own timeline due to technology and pollution just only proves that maybe the first show revolution displays something we need to learn. I like that in this show they have a mix of technology but also use sustainability.

Hanging clothes, saving money

This not the most luxurious chore but cutting down expenses anyway possible is the goal. If I can save a few dollars I'm doing it! (Well attempt). 
Hanging clothes is not the most fun task but it really reduces electric bill and I like to think that it extends life of clothes. Dryer process I think shortens the life of clothes. 
This morning I picked up this hanger from Longs Drugs. It was on sale for $2.99 I used it for under garments like socks. This is a good product for just starting to hang clothes. 

There are many ways to incorporate hang drying into your life. I hope it saves you money!

Overnight oatmeal with chia seeds.

Recently I have been on Pinterest, and i kept seeing this overnight oatmeal with chia seeds. it is said to be healthy and a very good breakfast treat. so i decided to try it. 

i got this post straight from Pinterest, and it is linked to this blog that Oven Feeling. Which this blog has a lot of amazing recipes. ones i might have to try myself. 
this is the original recipe from the website. Unfortunately i did not have all the ingredients i used what i had. 
Chia seeds i got from my sister-in-law. 
I did not have plain oatmeal, but it works out because i did not have dried fruits, this is my replacment. to me it worked out well.  i also added a dash of coconut milk. But i used a generic brand and it did not have a strong coconut milk flavor.
so here are a few pictures of my run. left is before, and the right picture is the next morning. I did not realize how thick the consistency was gonna be, on the Pinterest post said to add milk to lessen the thickness. I also forgot to add honey, but it was not too bad without it, just a tad bit bland but i think that maybe the extra flavor from my oatmeal helped. I must say that the oatmeal actually held me over till late afternoon so i really enjoy this breakfast, because i can snack all day unless i have something to hold me over. try it out let me know how you like it. I am gonna try different variations of this oatmeal.

Cheap every day make up

I use to be a Mac girl, Mac everything. But now I need to learn to spend more frugally! Although somethings I still use Mac. 
Yesterday's make up! 

I used costal scents neutral palette for my eyeshadow. I got it on their website on sale, they have a lot of sales just get on their mailing list! I got mine for under $16. 
(Image from their website) 
Very beautiful colors. They also have an 88 palette that is full of colors. Although, this neutral palette is not as pigmented as the 88 palette. With that said, I had to prime my eyes. I just used concealer when I did my brows. 

My brows, I used Mac dip down to line my brows, and espresso to fill in. Even if you have black hair, I would suggest never to use black on eyebrows (too harsh). 

Eyeliner I use E.l.F. Liquid liner and I believe it's not more than $3. 
(Image off google). I actually enjoy ELF products! They work quite well. I work and sweat and this eye liner stays. Although they do smudge easily! So don't touch!

New year, a time for cleaning up getting rid of the old to hopefully bring in the new!

Out and about curvy

This past weekend, I went out for my friends birthday! We went to the M night club 
(This photo was gotten off of google!) 
Probably one of my favorite night clubs in Hawaii. (There isn't much tho!) I really like it because of their open layout, luxurious decor, and free parking! Not many night clubs have free parking. 

Here is a picture of my friend Dom and I! #bodypositive thick is always sexy! 

I am wearing my new favorite boots! I like wearing boots to clubs because I can get crazy on the dance floor! 


My Vegas app

Since I decided to change things up. Changed awesome app Tuesday's to gettin in tech wit it! 

Anyways found this app awhile ago, it's called my Vegas. 

They only had the slots till recently they added the black jack! 
They have many options to choose from, this screen shot is the main screen on the slots. 
And an image from the black jack! 

To me, the best part of this game is the rewards! 
The more you play the more loyalty chips you get, which you can redeem from several hotels! They even have comp rooms! I have yet to try and redeem one since I have yet to go to Vegas, but I'm saving for when I do decide to go!!! 

I must also mention, the amazing graphics this game has! The creators did an amazing job. It is pretty addictive.

Pasta for $.60 at Kmart

Today I went to Kmart! They have Golden Grain pasta on sale 5 for for bucks and this past news paper they had a coupon for $1.00 

Curvy files, new year.


New year, wanting to start the year right, and continue doing it throughout the year. I like being curvy, but I really want to tone up, not only to look better but to better my health. This morning I decided 
To start my day with some waist training and some skinny tea. 
The tea brand isn't the popular brand, just one I found in my local drug store.

Australian shows on Netflix

Was hanging out with my cousin when she was telling me she missed watching orange is the new black, so she started watching Wentworth. 
I decided to watch it, since she said it was amazing. It's like the Australian version of orange is the new black. The story line is quite similar, yet I think this show is more hard core whereas OITB is more for comedy. In Wentworth, the main story line is wars between two conflicting cliques try to be top dog. Turf wars. The best part is this corrections officer will Jackson. 
If I was an inmate, he would be my dream come true. He's a great actor he is also in one of my movies, Samoan wedding. 
This movie is so hilarious, I can watch this movie over and over. It's about 4 guys not getting invited to a friend/brothers wedding because of their crazy antics. The only way they can go to the wedding is if they find girlfriends!

Changing it up a bit

I decided that I wanted to change a few things. At first I thought it would be a good idea to select a few days that I wanted to post, to set a schedule. Now, I feel like I should just have a constant flow. Instead of waiting to post, and then forgetting I can just post whenever I want to. New year, let's make changes for the better

Schoolwork

Whenever in school I have a hard time understanding a subject, I always go on YouTube to see if someone can simplify it for me. 
Crash course is one of my favorite YouTube channels that helps me! It also is pretty funny. This channel helped understand metabolism. Maybe it could help you.
