The Best Marketing Campaign Ever

by Jenni in


Have you seen this video?!? Those Disney commercials telling people to show their Disney side are some of my favorites to watch, but this one takes the cake. Oh, how I would love to be in one of these! And, I must admit, I was tearing up by the end. Disney sure does know the way into our hearts! 

What did you think of the ad and how do you think they did it?


Great Christmas Recipes

by Jenni in


Every year for Christmas evening we go to my cousin's house. My cousin inherited Christmas from my Grandma a few years ago and it has been going great! Instead of everyone getting a gift for everyone else (which gets rather pricey with 20 people and handfuls of children) we do a round robin gift exchange. Everyone also brings a side or two to help with the cooking.

This year I will be making three dishes that range in appeal from the adults to the tiniest ones we will have there. I am super excited to make a new dish and really excited to be making a few staples in the hubs and my diet for everyone this year! Oh, and by the way, the Thanksgiving Brussels sprouts were a major hit! They were also so easy to prep the day before Thanksgiving and pop in the oven 15-minutes before we ate.

Grilled Shrimp Caesar Salad

This is probably the easiest thing to make out of the lot. Add salad to bowl, add shaved Parmesan cheese, grill or pan cook shrimp, mix together with dressing before eating. Really, I think this side salad is up there with eggs on the list of easy things to cook. And no, it is not the healthiest option for a salad, but you can do a few things to keep it light.

My first recommendation would be to skip croutons- they are unneeded fat and calories and most people just push them to the side anyway. Second, go for a light Caesar vinaigrette instead of the usual, heavier option. This will make the salad a little less filling and also keep the flavors a bit less overpowering. Of course, you can always skip all those preservatives and make your own dressing instead!

Truffle Oil Mac n' Cheese

This idea came to me when I was super craving lobster mac n' cheese but no restaurant I wanted to go to had it on the menu. Seriously, I could live on lobster mac n' cheese, unfortunately, that would lead to massive joint pain from my new-found 400-pound frame, a massive reduction in friends because who wants to smell mac n' cheese all day, and constant pawing from cats for my lobster. It is my lobster cats, get use to it.

I digress. Lobster mac n' cheese is good, but pricey. Truffle oil mac n' cheese is slightly less pricey and oh-so good!!

Garlic Roasted Kale

This is my favorite way to make kale ever. It is so easy and so yummy, you just might want it every night as well! My best recommendation for this is to add the kale in intervals so you have different textures of leafy green. I also like to continue adding small amounts of seasoning, olive oil, and vinegar each time I add more kale. The fish also helps add some fats and flavor, but if you would prefer, chicken or nothing at all works just as well!

If you really want to mix it up (which I always like doing) add some spinach in as well! Just be sure to add the spinach towards the end since it cooks much faster than kale.


10-Minute Bubble Butt Workout

by Jenni in


I recently read an article talking about the most popular plastic surgeries in 2014. Apparently, the demand for bum lifts and implants has sky rocketed 35% in the past few years. Out of these, the most common request is to remove the fat below the bum so it has a more rounded look. The good news about this is that working that area can save you thousands in surgery costs and pain. Yep, there are some pin-point moves that will work the area under your bum- reducing fat and increasing the overall roundness of the bum.

One set of this workout will take 10-minutes to complete. Of course, you can always do more if you wish. Although I love workouts that do not include weights, this one will work best with a set of 8-10 pound weights in each hand. If weights are not an option for you, I would recommend using a resistance band in its place. No, the workout will not be quite the same, but it will be a whole lot better than nothing at all.
