Buffalo Exchange and Some Bits & Bobs from Old Navy

Hello all!  So i recorded this video quite awhile ago, but I just have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off, so I hadn't uploaded it until today!  Went to visit my mom in Philly and hit it big at Buffalo Exchange, my favorite store of all times.  I would have bought more, but let's remember, I'm not made of money, so I had to make some last minute decisions before heading to the till to complete my purchases.  Enjoy!

Lots of Loot from Old Navy

I recently took  little trip to Old Navy, and was very pleasantly surprised by all of the adorable spring stuff they have!  My cart was literally overflowing with everything I could get my hands on, and I'm definitely planning another trip in the near future to snath up some things that I left behind.  Anywhosies, here is a video of all the amazing loot I scored at Old Navy.  Enjoy!

Barch Mirchbox... (aka. March Birchbox!)

Hi guys!  Got my March Birchbox, and am ecstatic with the contents!  Am I the only one who wishes Birchboxes came like...every day? Or 2 times a month would be a more plausible request.  Anyway, check out what I got for the month of March :)

February Haul! (b.c I'm too scatterbrained to have favorites right now)

Hello luvees!  Unforutnately I have not yet established any favorites for the month of February, so I couldn't record the ever so original Favorites video for the month.  Instead I did a run through of some amazing things that I purchased in February!  Favorites pending... Enjoy!

Chicken Noodle Soup with a Soda on the Side

So, cooking is one of my most favorite things to do.  It helps me relax, and of course I also love to eat.  As a good little Jewish girl, it is imperative that I know how to make Matzoh Ball Soup from scratch.  I swear this soup can cure anything; sicknesses, a broken heart, or any kind of sadness.  I'll try to break it down easy for ya, but the best part of this soup is that everyone makes it their own way!  So feel free to riff on my recipe and make it your own.  Think of me as your Bubby, now make me proud!

Ingredients:

Bawls-

12/3 C. Matzoh Meal

6 eggs, seperated

2 t. salt

Soup-

6 boneless skinless chicken thighs, roasted with salt and pepper at 350 degrees for 20-25 mins.

4 celery ribs, chopped

3 onions, chopped into large chunks

4 carrots, peeled and chopped

2 T. dill chopped.

3 boxes of chicken stock

salt, and pepaaa

1/2 a box of mini bowtie pasta (this is something my grandmother used to do, so I like to do it too)

Broth:

1. Sweat the carrots, onions, celery and dill together in a large pot with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

2. Pour in the chicken stock, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer

Bawls:

1. Whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.

2. Use a fork to mix the egg yolks into the matzoh meal.

3. Fold in the egg whites until they are fully combined, let sit for 5 minutes.

4. Using a tablespoon, form balls from the mixture and drop them into the simmering broth.  

5. Let the matzoh bawls cook for approximately 35 mins. turning every so often.

(At this point you can add your chopped or shredded chicken to the pot)

6.) After 25 minutes, add the bowties to let them cook, but keep them from getting mushy.

7.) Serve and watch your guests/family sink into relaxation.

I am so happy to share this recipe that's very close to my heart with you!  Enjoy, and definitely add your favorite ingredients to make this family-style soup your own.

Fun at the Dollah Store!

Hey guys, this video is actually from a few weeks ago, but my life has just been a whirling dirvish of craziness!  I fortunately have the gift of turning any errand into a shopping trip, so here is the contents of a fun trip to the Dollar Tree with my dad.  It's mostly very silly, but it just goes to show, you can find good cheap stuff anywhere, and if not, atleast you can get a good laugh.  Bye!

Tip Toe Through the Tulips

Hello fellow flower children!  With the sun shining all over the place, it's been putting me in quite a springy mood!  One trend that I am absolutely gaga over for the warmer months is printed jeans.  I have not yet accumulated any, I'm planning my attack slowly, but here are some of my favorite pairs (from the cheapity cheap to the "is it hot in here?" expensive) 

Gnarly dude.

Forever 21 $27.80

Doodley doo.

Urban Outfitters $68.00

and finally, the pis de resistance..drum roll please bumbumbumbum...

Wow. I'm obsessed with these.  Unfortunately at $198.00 they're not cheap.  Donations are now being accepted :)

AG Stilt Ikat Cigarette Jeans

Are you as in love with all of these as me!?  Any of these pants would look amazing with slouchy tank tops, leather jackets, and cozy sweaters and boots in the fall and winter! (can you tell I'm rationalizing the expensive ones?)  

Hearts and stars, Sam.
