Movie Nights



A cute outfit I'm gonna wear tonight to the movies with my bff S. We wanted to be especially cute tonight, because you  never know! Everything is all black except the jeans and the bright colored shirt, to add a pop of color! I think its a cute enough outfit to go out woth friends, or on a date. I like. I thinks it really cute. What do ya'll think??

Happy Earth Day.

Happy Earth Day!

Hope you all enjoy this Earth Day, it is extremely rainy and depressing here. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy your Earth Day, so go out there and ride your bikes, cut off your lights, unplug your house, and plant a tree, and buy recycled stuff and be as GREEN as possible. Mother Nature will be most appreciative although I'm not very appreciative of this crappola weather!

By the way, head on over to Starbucks with you own coffee mug, or tumbler and you can get a free cup of coffee OR tea!

...I thought it was only 3 R's...guess not!

Take Me Out To The Ball Game.

Guess where I'm going this weekend???

Go ahead! Guess!

Give up... (gave it away in the title anyways! L0l!)

I'm going to the RiverDogs baseball game on Friday!

My sister and my nieces are coming down from NC this weekend, Yay! One of my nieces did really bad in school so she has absolutely no privileges, sucks for her. My mama and sister are planning on going to get pedicures on Friday, and my niece with the bad grades has to sit there and basically watch them. But my other niece got straight A's and student of the month or something like that, so I'm going to reward her with a baseball game and whatever she want to eat, she eats like a full grown man and she's only 11 and a complete toothpick, she is super skinny, maybe its because she's always doing something. Basketball, ballet, soccer, hip-hop dance, and she like her Dance-Dance Revolution and Wii. Since she actually worked hard in school she's going to be rewarded. And at home games on Friday's they do fireworks, and give out t-shirts and its extra fun for the kids especially!

This is my outfit choice for the game on Friday, the weather is supposed to be in the mid to high 70s, and kinda breezy. If the weirdo weather here changes anymore then i'll probably switch it up with Capri's or skinny jeans or something!

• John "Lemon" Graphic Tee
• Khaki Shorts
• Forever 21 Aviators
• Coach Wrislet
• Rainbow Flip-Flops
• Polo Hat

I can't wait, I haven't been to a RiverDogs game in years!

It'll be good fun!

What are ya'll weekend plans?

PS, I originally made this post on Tuesday or Wednesday, but my Internet went out so I couldn't post it, now I'm sitting in a coffee shop posting it! (and its NOT starbucks, l0l)

{Home Alone}

That exactly what I've been.

I kinda feel left behind, these people forgot all about me. My mama and step-daddy went to Atlanta for the weekend to visit my step-dads brother whose sick.

Why didn't I tag along you ask?? I had to work...

At my job (Old Navy) shifts have been kinda scarce , but I'm getting more and more shifts now since I'm not exactly "new" anymore. Some people and myself think that you get more shifts based on how many Old Navy cards we get. We have a major competition going on right now to see who gets the most cards within the month of April. The last week of April I wont be here, I'll be in D.C so I have to push pretty hard to be on top. Last week I guess??  Well the week of 4/10 through 4/16 I only had 2 shifts :(

Howeverrr... I got about 6 Old Navy cards in just those 2 days, and that's pretty good, so when i was emailed my schedule for 4/17 through 4/23 I had FOUR shifts. That's pretty good. Saturday while I was working my manager asked if I wanted to pick up a shift for Sunday evening, I thought about it and the extra money for D.C and accepted. And my 4 shifts this week are on Monday-Thursday. So I'll be working nonstop up until Thursday. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday! I told my manager I'm going to enjoy my Friday and Saturday off and that NOBODY should call me to come in!

Enough about my part-time gig, back to feeling like this...

When I came home on Friday, my step-dad and HIS dad was waiting for my mama to get home from work so she could pack and they could head to Atlanta! I was really tired so a hour or so after they left I went to sleep until about 7pm, then I woke up changed into my jammies, got something to eat, switched to the comfier & bigger couch then went back to sleep. I woke up again a little after midnight and couldn't get back to sleep, and it was a tornado watch going on here so the extremely loud wind kept creeping me out, I'm usually not scared when I'm home alone but I don't know why I was a little creeped out and a little on edge! I really miss my mommy too.

Hopefully they'll be back on Sunday when I get from work. I miss them! And I hope they brought me something back. Haha!

On Friday, when I finally get a chance to unwind I think my best friend and I are going to treat ourselves a Charleston Riverdogs game...I just kinda have to tell her my plan! I think it'll be fun, a baseball game to start off a good weekend, and I haven't seen my best friend in like THREE weeks, I miss her! If she doesn't want to go I'll make her! Haha!

I remember when I went to elementary and middle school in downtown Charleston and my school would ALWAYS take field trips to see the RiverDogs play (for those that don't know the RiverDogs is Charleston's Minor league baseball team!) We have a minor hockey league too! I think its called minor at least! They're the Stingrays!

That is all going on in my life!

Oh yeah, one more thing. Does anyone know where I can get a good deal on Coach Poppy perfume, my best friends birthday is coming up!

She doesn't read this so I don't have to worry! The price is usually around $60, but I'm thinking I can get it a little cheaper! Let me know guys I would really appreciate it!

Peace & Love

Giveaways, Rants, Updates & Life! {sigh...}

First thangs first... a GIVEAWAY! A giveaway for a monogrammed mug from sweet ole' Ashley over at Texas Prep! I'm really gunning for this one! l0l!

I'm specifically gunning for the Yellow mug with the stainless steel lid! I LOVE yellow!

Ya'll can also follow her on twitter @ashlauren85!

Now rants! I went to the movies with my friend that I haven't seen in a while even though we live 10 minutes away from each other! L0l!

But we saw...

Battle L.A and it was AMAZING! Oh My GOSH! Those Marines had so much heart! Spoiler Alert: The group of soldiers had already lost so many men when looking for civilians and the alien things were killing them off. It took down a whole chopper with wounded soldiers! And it killed the virgin before he...you know? They went from about 20 something men to the very end with just SIX! The leader of the group died as well, but the other soldiers had TWO opportunities to go to the safety area but they stayed behind and fought! That's heart, because I hate to say...well type! My ass would have been long gone! L0l! However, on a more serious note, a movie like that with GORGEOUS men like that makes me appreciate more and more what my brother-in-law does (especially when he gets deployed AGAIN in August) and what my dad did! I appreciate all our military people for their service:)

I worked a long shift today, but I need my money for D.C! I'm still super excited, I can't wait!

OMGeee! I'm officially addicted to Hawaii 5-0 thanks to Sweet Tea Diaries :) But my usual shows that I've been kinda lacking on lately are Glee and Pretty Little Liars! But, a week or so ago, PLL had a marathon and I set my DVR and watched to rest of the season and the finale...What a cliffhanger??? I'm ready to find out who A is and where the heck did Ian go? Can't wait for the next season to start in May or June or whenever! As as Glee, my mom deleted the last episode, the one after the Original Songs(Best episode thus far...maybe), so I don't know what happened! I was upset when I found out she cancelled my episode so it could record Jeopardy and some western for her! FML! So somebody help me out! And my other faves on TV...Dancing With The Stars! My favorite dancers are...



Ralph & Karina: He was sooooo good, I wasn't expecting it and that's what made me like him so much! I guess Mr. Miyagi taught him well!



Kendra & Louis: Also in my top 3 i don't even care about the dancing, I just LOVE Kendra, she's so fun and pretty, and that baby of hers is soooo darn cute! And she loves her booty shankin! L0l!



Kirstie & Max: WOW! I mean of course she's not the best dancer ever...but she is trying incredibly hard, she looks REALLY good for 60! And after her weight issues and depression in the past she looked like she was genuinely have a GOOD time! When she danced she had so much personality and liveliness! top 3!



Romeo & Chelsie: okay...Romeo is FINE first off! And he's WAY better than his dad, and I think he'll do pretty good once he gets those hips a movin! I love them together...wink wink! Very cute couple in the future.





Chelsea & Mark: she's so cute and I think she's pretty good! i tend to like alot of the Disney kids! L0l!

Hines & Kym: Omigosh! He's so good, and extremely cute, and he does have a nice butt! L0l! The athletes always tend to be very good. Makin a comeback after that Superbowl loss! Definitely in my top 3!



Now lets get down to the nitty gritty! The WORST! I love her show! but her dancing...

Wendy Williams! She was horrible! I'll give her that she had personality and she was having fun...but she has no rhythm, two left feet, off beat and just NOT GOOD! She should really stick to gossip, not dancing!

Until next time...

Peace & Love

Oopsies...{I've been a BAD blogger}

Whose been a bad blogger lately...**this girl**!!

With spring break and work and family & friends, I got a little sidetracked!

So here's what I've been up to since I last blogged!

-Spring Break started! {Whoo-hoo!!!}

-so did the pollen and the sneezes, watery eyes, and itchy eyes and throat! {booooo}

-I went to spend some time with my aunt!

-I worked...

-I spent money I shouldn't have spent! :[

-I was down with a tummy ache!

-I got to spend time with one of my FAVORITE cousins...M and she told me everything about her current journey of her pledging a sorority... Delta Sigma Theta Inc, one of the most famous and influential African American sororities! She'll be sort of "crossing-over" or being "introduced" in front of family and friends on April 8th and I can't wait to be there! Especially the big party afterwards that she invited me too! Her sorority has "brothers!" They are widely affiliated with another famous African American fraternity Omega Psi Phi a.k.a the Q-Dogs in their purple and gold, with their loud chants and steps! Most Q's are FINE and I can't wait to party with them! ; )

-My baby cousin Brook turns 1 on the 28th! And her parents are throwing this big party for her in Charlotte on April 2nd! Can't wait!

-The biggest news of all, even though my Spring Break was this week, April 28-May 3rd me and my family are going to D.C! I'm gonna knock on the White House doors and see if the President answers his own door...L0l! Then we're gonna go to alot of museums and stuff which I'm super excited about since I love history and culture and art and everything else! My mama really wants to see Aretha Franklin's Inauguration hat(she's weird like that)! And D one of my really good friends from elementary AND middle school goes to Howard University in D.C and he says he's gonna show me the sites too and take me to the YOUNG hot spots! I'm super excited, I can't wait!

-So I have to take off April 1 & 2 for my baby cousin's birthday party in Charlotte, April 8 for my cousins introduction ceremony and the big AFTER PARTY in Orangeburg! And I have to take off April 28-May 3rd for D.C! That's alot of days! That's like 9 days! Pretty darn close to 2 weeks! I also have to save alot of my money! This is going to be a challenge!

If anyone knows of any really good places to visit while in D.C please let me know! Also, stuff for kids because my nieces will be there also and they're 10 & 11!

Now that your caught up, I'm off to get my clothes from the dryer and tidy my room a bit, then off to the mall!!! :)

Peace & Love

What I'm Loving Wednesday! 3/2/11

So, I'm currently typing at WARP speed to get this posted before WEDNESDAY officially is over here on the East coast. So...on to what I'm loving...

1. I'm Loving my NEWLY re-dyed hair, I usually get it dyed a brown-goldish tone, but this time I went with a brownish-red (auburn) color!

2. I'm also loving my NEW Blackberry, I feel so important when I have phone calls and text messages on my Berry! Lol. .

3. I'm REALLY loving that me an my girls are gonna take a little mini-roadtrip down to Savannah, GA for the St. Patricks day festival/parade/event! We said we're gonna "pee green" which we can't do since we're underage! Lol! But hey, we can dream!

4. I'm also really loving all the cute things that I got from Charleston's NEW Forever 21! I've been wanting to go since it opened but I knew for the first whole month it was crazy packed. So I waited until Monday and I went with one of my best friends Kee and got 15 things for about $90! It wasn't even packed, but I did get a $14.00 parking citation:( I was so concerned with my bad parallel parking that I didn't even notice the parking meter...oops! :(

5. I'm also loving THREE very cool giveaways from 3 very nice ladies!

1. Miss Southern Prep's Giveaway!

2. picking wildflowers Baily's giveaway!

3. Sweet Tea Diaries Angela's giveaway!

And i think this is about all I'm loving today....

OH YEAH! And our new Wii!

Now that's all! :)

p.s. whoo-hoo I made it before "Thursday" with 7 minutes to spare! (its 11:53pm in case you were wondering)

What I'm Loving Wednesday: Late Edition 2/16/2011

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

I'm loving absolutely nothing! I feel HORRIBLE! I actually missed class today, and who knows about work tomorrow...I had mind-blowing cramps! Every cuss word known to man went throw my mind. I stayed home and sulked in agonizing pain! Medicine nothing helped! Maybe i'll love something next week. I've just never experienced cramps this bad in all my days, or (excuse my french & scroll away squemish folks) clotting this severe, or "changing" that many times in one day! FML!

Sorry if this was a Debbie Downer moment or a Nasty Nancy moment, but I had to vent somehow and all of my followers are females so you can relate kinda anyways!

maybe tomorrow will be better

-Not So Happy Tiffani :(

p.s. I will be doing a "Whats in my Purse?" sometime this week



Pan Stewed Chicken (as promised!)

I haven't forgotten people, my memory has not failed me yet! Remember that slap-yo-MAMA stewed chicken my mama made that I was tellin yall was so good! Well I bothered her to tell me how she made it since I was nappin when she started cookin it! And you may also remember that I said in my household when it comes to actual "food" "food" we don't follow recipes. We may follow a recipe if its a dish we've never had before, but we always follow the directions when we bake cake, cookies, or cupcakes or something, because it doesn't take alot to mess those up AT ALL! My chicken, mama is a pro..so no "recipe needed" but if people want to cook this delishes meal at home, i'll give them a modified version of a recipe! lol.

1. Get any kinda of chicken you want, bone-in or bonless...it doesnt matter!

2. Season your chicken to your liking, nothing citrusy or anything like that, that sorta throws it off! lol. (let it marinate for at least a few hours)

3. Get a deep pan, maybe something you would stir-fry or fry in, but nice and deep.

4. Put water in the bottom of the pan, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan, since chicken makes its own oil/grease/juice whatever it is! l0l.

5. Add the chicken to the water and let it sorta boil/simmer for about 20-25 minutes. (do NOT turn chicken over)

6. Then add a can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom, enough to cover the whole pan and all the chicken, you may have to use 2 cans, it depends on how much chicken you use.

7. Let chicken and Cream of Mushroom all simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until chicken is finished, once again it depends on what kind of chicken you use, we used drumsticks and thighs! I would have prefered boneless, but it was still good!

8. Serve with rice and whatever side/veggie and enjoy.

We have rice and green beans with ours...And yours truly was responsible for the green beans. L0l. I opened the can and put it in the pot and boiled it all by my lonesome! We usually have frozen veggies, healthier and tastier, but we were out...so last resort!

Don't think I can't cook now, I'm actually a really good cook, I just wanted to at least contribute, despite my sleepy!

And the sauce over the rice was...AMAZIN'!

That mama did it again!



My very hard responsibiliy that night!



In the words of backpack from Dora the Explorer...it was "Yum, yum, yum delicioso!

-Tiffani :)

Decisions...Decisions...

The other day as I was skipping class and browsing throught the aisles of Targe' a.k.a Target! I came across this darlin' of a purse!

Its a cute little studded crossbody.

After getting over its cuteness and sorta sneaking it in the house(my mama has been on me about buying new purses) it was small enough to fit in the giant purse I was already carrying so it was pretty easy to bring in the house and stash in my purse bin. Yes! I said purse bin. It's a 18 gallon or so, and I put all my purses in it, I need a new one because I don't want to overstuff the bin and mess my purses up!

After I got the purse home and was admiring my cheap purchase, ($7 to be exact)  I wondered... What the hell am I gonna wear with this purse??? 

Any suggestions??
