Irish Oatmeal!



Yum! Nothing makes me feel more cozy than a bowl of Irish Oatmeal.. not only for breakfast but for any time of day!!

Irish oatmeal is a bit different from the normal Quaker Oats or Instant Oatmeal. Irish Oatmeal is made from Steel-Cut Oats rather than Rolled Oats. Irish Oatmeal has a chewier consistency and a nuttier flavor than the others. Its almost tapioca like to me..

Irish oatmeal is less processed than rolled oats or instant oatmeal, which makes it higher in Fiber, Vitamin B, Calcium, and Protein. It can also help lower your cholesterol.

I love sprinkling a little brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, and raisins over them! It is so delicious, comforting, and good for you! MMmmMmM

What will be, will be

Both my grandmothers and mom have sang this song to me ever since I was a little girl. This song has never had more meaning to me than it does now. It is so simple yet so true! It makes me tear up! It is so beautifully written and has passed on through generations and generations, and it will continue to do so when I have a family of my own.




When I was just a little girl

I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

When I grew up, & fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

Black Friday Shopping?!? NO THANKS!

Now as a girl that writes about fashion and cosmetics and a bunch of other girly things, the one thing you should know about me is I HATE THE ACT OF SHOPPING! Nothing stresses me out more than running around not knowing what your looking for. When I "Shop" I have a few things on my mind that I want to get. If I don't find them within the first 5 minutes of entering a store, I leave. It is very strange. Shopping makes me nauseous, gives me a migraine, and gives me anxiety! Of course there are a few occasions where I feel like shopping for its own sake, but it's not often. Most of the shopping I do is online. Its easy and fun! You can search for almost anything and its QUICK! 


So my take on Black Friday Shopping? NO THANK YOU!
Yes there are great deals out there, but in my opinion it is not worth getting trampled over, getting yelled at by people, or waiting in dreadfully long lines. Not to mention I could never find anything in my size because it is all sold out!!! I did my black friday shopping online around midnight last night. It was an early christmas present for me. LOL



My very first L.A.M.B. Purse!!!

I already have the wallet in this pattern from last years christmas, but I thought that I would treat myself this year. I got this purse valued at : $300 for $177 & Free shipping!! Click on the link below to find out where!!
vvvv
^^^^

They are hosting great deals on brand name items! Just like L.A.M.B.!
I think I will be doing some of my early christmas shopping here.. but we'll see!

I started my christmas shopping early so that way I don't have to stress about it too much. I already bought my boyfriends gift online too. But I wont say what it is because he reads my blog. LOL 

Now I hope you don't think that I am less of a woman because I don't like shopping very much, but lets face it, most of the time I am broke anyway and going shopping when your broke just makes you feel horrible about yourself! You want to buy all these things and you simply just can't! By the time you do get a little spending cash, the stuff you saw while you were "Window Shopping" is sold out! LOL Thats usually my luck at least.

For those of you who braved the morning by going Black Friday Shopping, I salute you! You are much braver and stronger than I am!

Lots of Love and Black Friday Deals,
Megs

Flicks & Cartoons from the 1930s

I remember growing up and watching old time cartoons and movies. More like slapstick Vaudeville movies  from Laurel and Hardy along with The Three Stooges and some Chaplin stuff too (although chaplin was just a bit earlier than L & H) I remember how hard I would laugh at those. My dad helped me grow up to the best of entertainment. Old Hollywood is barely remembered through the young minds of America. I remember walking down Hollywood Blvd with my little 16 year old sister a few months ago, looking at all the celebrity stars. From Clark Gable to the Andrews Sisters and more, she got all frustrated and started huffing to herself. I asked her what was wrong, and she said "I don't know who these people are! Wheres the star for Kanye West?"  I just shook my head in sadness only because she didn't grow up the same way I did. We had two different dads, and she wasn't introduced to the classics. I want to keep them all alive because I know one day no one will know who the names on those stars really are.


I remember one night when I was about maybe 5 years old. I was with my dad for the weekend. It was my bedtime. So I went to fall asleep in his bed, but I couldn't fall asleep for the life of me! My dad always kept the door cracked about half a foot or so. That night was lucky because I could see the big screen TV from the angle of the bed and the door crack. He was watching Laurel And Hardy, The Big Noise. The train scene came on and I started watching it secretly, for my dad thought I was asleep. It gradually became funnier and funnier I just couldn't contain my little laughter anymore! I started laughing hysterically so loud that my dad came in the room and started laughing too! He said my little laughter sounded so cute from the other room, that he couldn't be mad that I wasn't asleep! So he picked me up and sat me on the couch and we watched Laurel and Hardy movies laughing together until I fell asleep. It is memories like those that I love the most.

Clever "Old" ads for New Age Necessities

Came across these clever ads online for our most popular past times.

Although I wonder what it would be like to live back in the 30's, 40's or 50's, I could only imagine how bored and frustrated I would get at times without our modern day technology. But these ads made me smile just because.. well you'll see why.








Plus they TOTALLY remind me of Fallout! ;-D
