Owl Mug

Original Mug

I actually have two of these mugs because my obsession with owls is known to almost everyone in my life so therefore there is almost a 100 percent chance that I will get something "owlish" for my birthday, Christmas, graduation, ect. You can just about imagine what my house looks like...owls are everywhere. Hopefully I don't grow out of it anytime soon or it will be quite spendy to redecorate, but let's get back to this great mug. It reminds me of my grandma because she always had these old, large mugs around the house. This mug is not only great because it's in the shape of an owl but because of its size. This bad boy will get you through and beyond a night of studying, reflecting on your life, blogging, or whatever else keeps you up at night. A good three cups of caffeine can fit into that so here's tip..make sure your coffee is HOT before you pour it into the mug for two reasons 1.the mug is so big that it will take you awhile to drink it and nobody likes luke warm coffee and 2. when you try to microwave this mug the outside gets very hot while the inside stays about the stay. This mug is from Pier One and you can see it here!

Fossil Boyfriend Watch

Pinterest original

Okay, I have to admit two things. The first is that I work at Fossil part-time and the second is that I owned this watch before I came across it on Pinterest. But just look it. It's sooo BEAUTIFUL! This watch is great because it is a classic watch that will go with just about anything. I wear a watch every single day, and this is one my favorites that I own because it's great to wear alone like above or you can layer it with bracelets, which I usually do. Beware though, this watch flies off the shelves! If you want to check out this watch's info click here!

Game Day Chili

 

Pinterest Chili

This is my own chili. In the original recipe it called for ground chuck, which I substituted with ground beef. However, you could use turkey or chicken for a healthier option. Instead of browning the beef in the large pot I cooked it in a separate pan because I thought that it would take too long to cook the meat in the pot (there was 2 lbs of it!). Next time I make this I will make sure to cook the vegetables in a separate pan as well because they were still a little hard. Overall, this chili is perfect for me because it was thick and not too spicy, but still had a little kick to it. Click here for the original recipe.
