Mmmmm cookies!!

  I love cookies, pretty much every kind of cookie. But I do not have the money to buy cookies. Luckily, I own everything I need to make tasty oatmeal cookies! They are soooooo good and they freeze well. They are a 'cake-y' cookie, which means they are super soft. Here is the awesome and easy recipe:

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.

The dry ingredients (mix together in a large bowl):

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 ½ cups oatmeal
• ½ cup chocolate chips/ raisins/ whatever your heart desires (optional)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 ½ cups flour 

Every day I will...

Yesterday, I got to work early and decided to make a list of things I think I should be doing every day. It's been awhile since I've posted anything and the list is definitely in line with what I want from this blog, so I thought I'd share it with you.

Walk: I should be getting up and walking every day. Even when I don't feel like I have a lot of time. Just getting off the bus one stop early will help me become healthier and fit. On my days off I shouldn't stay cooped up inside. I am going to try and walk at least 30 minutes every day. 

Read my Bible: Getting myself physically fit/ healthy means nothing if I'm not getting myself spiritually fit as well. It's shouldn't even be that hard, I have a One Year Bible that breaks the bible down into a 15 minute reading a day.

Yay for manicures!

  During winter my hands always get sooo dry! I end up with hangnails and, if you've ever had one, you know how much those suck! However, I do not have money to buy fancy nail soaking stuff. Well the other day I decided to paint my nails and thought, "Why not look for a homemade nail soak and turn this into a manicure instead of just a nail paint?" So I looked online and found several recipes. I wanted to use what I already had, so I had to be creative and make up my own, based on recipes already out there. First I cut and shaped my nails. You want to make sure to file on dry nails, if you wait until after they've soaked they will tear and weaken. Then, I removed my old polish and I washed my hands with a hand scrub from Mary Kay. (I was a Mary Kay person for like 5 minutes and now I have a bunch of random Mary Kay product in a box under my bed.)
