Everlasting Treasures


Why many people would love a closet like this...(I would even love a closet like this), we can't consume ourselves with clothes and shoes. Our clothes should not define us, but what should define us is the Word of God. Clothes and Shoes and acessories are nice, however they wear out, and get old so then you have to keep buying new ones. The Word of God never wears out and you never have to go and get a new one. If people would start to invest more time in the Word and less time on their appearence they would become equipped with the Word and their personality will automatically outshine the clothes they wear. God doesn't care about your clothes, He cares about what's inside.

Rachel Roy!!!! Here are some of her Spring/ Summer looks....








Okay so I have found a new love and a new designer that I am absolutley in love with!!!! Rachel Roy!!! I love her pieces, although they make a bold statement and some of them you wouldn't know where to wear it to, I think you could make them more casual by adding a little girlie touch or accessory to them like a headband or just wearing one of her tops with a skirt of your own just to make the look more YOU. So yea here are some pieces from her Spring/Summer 2010 Collection. I wish I could show you guys the pieces from her Fall 2010 COllection but I don't wanna get in trouble ; ) lol no copyright infrigment of something...lol idk


When I was a Geisha he was a Samari somehow I understood him when he spoke Thai*









I know it is good to not look at the outer appearence but look at the heart of people and whats inside..because afterall that's what counts, however Christian Loubitons are a must wherever you go and too bad i can't afford them...but BAYBAYYYY!!!!! If or better yet when I get the money to afford even one pair of these....oooooooweeeeeeeee U betta watch it!!!!! lol

Alaska or Namibia?


So like many things in my life I have no idea what to do! What to do about anything...i know I'm not making any sense but, I really do not know what to do with my life.lol I was looking into Wildlife Biology because I love animals and after all my major is Biology, I was also looking into Pharmacuetical sales, but I really can't see myself talking in front of Elite upperclass doctors without stuttering and sweating to death! Plus I don't even like to speak in front of people as it is, i am a very very very shy individual. lol but they do make bookooo money.hmmm but anyways I was looking at some internships for undergrad bio students interested in wildlife studies....ding ding ding* that's me!!!! they have one in Alaska studying the indiana bat ( have no idea what the heck kind of bat that is) and the box turtle (hmmm) and they have one in Namibia Africa (hot!) studying the cheetah and puppies. So they both sound really cool plus they pay (YEPP!!!!) so i don't know what to do but I do know that I am gonna have a hell of a time wherever i go!!! I need to get out!!! lol ; )

FINALLY: AVATAR

So I finally got to watch AVATAR, It was soooo good I loved it! I watched it twice and my sis watched it 4 times!!!!! I dont know about all that it wasn't that good to watch it 4 times esp in 1 day!!!!! I feel in love with the warrior guy who was supposed to marry zoe saldana's character...he was cute ; )

As the Marie Antoinette Said: " Let them eat Macaroons!"

I have been wanting French Macaroons for years now, and I do not know where to find them in town. I stumbled across a website called Sucre' in New Orleans and I wanted to order some offline....they were like $15 for a box of 8...and all types of assorted flavors. For those of you who do not know what a Macaroon is: it is a light weight cookie with cream filling and a semi-soft outer crust, they come is cappacino flavors, lemon, pistacchio, strawberry, even Peanut Butter!!! ummmmm, so anyways I wanted to order some with my bf's credit card of course ; ) and he said NO! *GASP* NO!?!? I didn't know what to think , I already had his credit card info, so I was just going to order them anyway, but I didn't want to do him like that so, I just thought I'd sweet talk him into saying yes....but guess what....HE STILL SAID NO!!!!!! so I got a little pissy about it and caught an attidtude....he just doen't understand how much biting into one of those sweet, airy, delisous, cookies means to me ; ( so I'm on a quest to make them on my own!!!!! I would spend some of my hard earned cash on them, however, I am trying to save for college and decrease the amount of ridiculous loans I possible can! SO i found a recipe and here take a look:

French Macarons(recipe from MarthaStewart.composted here with annotations)
1 cup confectioners’ sugar, 4.5 oz3/4 cup almond flour, 2.5 oz. (I
made my own by processing almond slivers)2 large egg whites, room temperature (take from the fridge the day before or the morning of)Pinch of cream of tartar1/4 cup superfine sugar, 1.5 oz. (also called baker’s sugar, I’ve read you can make your own by processing granulated sugar, but have never tried it)3/4 cup seedless raspberry jam, for filling
See
MACAROON VARIATIONS and SUGGESTED FILLINGS on Martha’s website, including chocolate, coconut, peanut, pistachio, raspberry, and vanilla bean
Directions
1. Pulse confectioners’ sugar and almond flour in a food processor until combined. Sift mixture 2 times. I found sifting with my usual flour sifter near impossible. The almond flour caked under the sifting hand and balled up over it. Instead I sifted with a simple bowl-shaped sieve.
2. Whisk whites with a mixer on medium speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar, and whisk until soft peaks form. Reduce speed to low, then add superfine sugar. Increase speed to high, and whisk until stiff peaks form, about 8 minutes (for me it took only 3 to 4 minutes, take care not to over-whip). If you’re going to add color, I added food coloring towards the end of whipping my whites. I found I could use standard, water-based foodcoloring. The recipes I saw recommended paste food coloring, but I didn’t have any at the time, so I went out on a limb! It
worked just fine.
3. Sift flour mixture over whites, and fold until mixture is smooth and shiny. I found the amount of folding to be crucial. Fold too little, and your macaron shells will have peaks instead of nice rounded caps. Fold too much, and your meringue will drip into a mess of wafer-thin blobs.
Tartlette recommends about 50 folds, until your batter has a magma-like flow. (UPDATE 02.10: stop by here to read about a macaron class Tartlette taught). You can test a daub on a plate, and if a small beak remains, turn the batter a couple times more. If the batter forms a round cap but doesn’t run, it is just right. When I spooned my batter into the pastry bag, the perfect batter started to just ooze out of the tip once the bag was full. If it stayed stiff inside the bag it was too stiff, if it dripped out too fast the batter was too runny. I found that doubling the recipe made this step very difficult for me, I found I would over fold to incorporate the flour mixture and I would end up with a runny batter.4. Transfer batter to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain round tip, and pipe 3/4-inch rounds 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets, dragging pastry tip to the side of rounds rather than forming peaks. (You can pipe 1-inch to 2-inch rounds, but you will need to add cooking time). Tap bottom of each sheet on work surface to release trapped air. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. (Different recipes recommend anywhere from no rest time to 2 hours rest time. I was most happy with 30 to 45 minutes rest time, once the caps looked more dull and had formed a slight crust.)
5. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Bake 1 sheet at a time, rotating halfway through, until macarons are crisp and firm, about 10 minutes. After each batch, increase oven temperature to 375 degrees, heat for 5 minutes, then reduce to 325 degrees. Every oven is different, so you may need to play with your oven temperature. The tops of the macaron shells should not brown.
6. Let macarons cool on sheets for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. If macarons stick, spray water underneath parchment on hot sheet. The steam will help release macarons.
7. Sandwich 2 same-size macarons with 1 teaspoon jam. Serve immediately, or stack between layers of parchment, wrap in plastic, and freeze for up to 3 months. It takes only 30 minutes out of the freezer for macarons to be ready to serve
