Welcome to my little Blogging Corner of the World. I started this blog in September 2010!. Thank you for visiting my quirky life with pictures, budgeting tips, foodie recommendations, make up favorites and more. They say we should find our niche and stick to it. My mind doesn’t work like that because I like all the things. I have a feeling there’s many just like me.

The Forge: stripes and a how-to for braided bangs
via The Forge: stripes and a how-to for braided bangs:
Side Front Braid
Side Front Braid
- Part your hair pretty far on one side (whichever side works best for you)
- Select three strands of hair to braid with and do a reverse/inverted french braid where you simply braid the hair under instead of over and keep adding hair in mostly from the top of your head
- Important: don't braid too tightly! keep that braid low on your forehead as you go
- Pin somewhere by your ear or finish off braid and tie with a skinny hair tie
- Use some hair spray to control fly aways
- Practice, practice, practice!

Candy Cane Brownie Lollipops
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pkg (18-21 oz or 450 g) fudge brownie mix (plus ingredients to make brownies)
- 24 candy canes
- 10 oz (300 g) chocolate-flavored almond bark
- Additional decorations such as red jimmies (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- 1
- Line Medium Sheet Pan with a 13-in. (33-cm) piece of Parchment Paper; lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions; pour batter into pan. Bake 30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Remove from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack; cool 20 minutes or until still slightly warm.
- 2
- Meanwhile, cut off straight ends of candy canes to form 4 1/2-in. (11-cm) sticks using Utility Knife. Place candy cane tops into resealable plastic bag and crush using flat side of Meat Tenderizer; set aside.
- 3
- Using Medium Scoop, scoop brownie into 24 rounded scoops, packing brownie into scoop using hands. (Entire brownie will be used.) Roll brownie scoops into smooth balls. Insert candy cane sticks into centers of balls, mounding brownie around stick.
- 4
- Place almond bark into Small Batter Bowl; microwave according to package directions until melted and smooth. Spoon melted bark evenly over each brownie ball, turning to coat completely. Allow excess bark to drip off. Dip into reserved crushed candy canes or additional decorations (see Cook 's Tip) and stand upright on a piece of Parchment Paper. Repeat with remaining almond bark, lollipops and crushed candy. Let stand until set. Place into miniature cupcake liners.

Cook's Tips:
While still slightly warm, the fudgy brownie rolls easily into balls. Although the edges of the brownie are crusty, they do not need to be discarded. Simply scoop the edges along with the center, and they will soften as they stand.
Lollipops can also be decorated with colored sugars or nonpareils.
Wrap lollipops in cellophane, tie with ribbon and use as table décor, place settings or take-home party favors for a special holiday touch.

Rachel's Junk in the Trunk,not in a Kim Kardashian Junk Fashion
Love Trunks! When I first set out to creat a blog,I was going to alot of garage sales. My back trunk would get filled with items hence the name "Rachel's Junk in the Trunk". Most see the name and automatically think something in a Kim Kardashion sort of fashion. Nope. Just a lover of trunks. |
