No-Sew Dress

Love Phillip Lim but don’t have the cash. So I found a cheap shirt at Ross that had similar ruffles. I cut off the neck and sleeves and added an elastic band to get this super girly skirt. Cost me $15. Later, I saw a skirt just like mine at the mall for $30!
I used my Bedazzler for the first time in 4 years and made a quickie bracelet.
This my lonely drive to work. As you can see the splatter of bugs, I’ve been working a lot lately. It’s worse at night when it’s pitch dark because I’m in the middle of nowhere!
Spring rolls are the best and super healthy. I get so excited when my mom pulls out all the works and we have a roll fest for dinner. Everyone makes their own These are some that I made for lunch at work.
But THE best part if the peanut sauce!
It’s versatile too. You can fill the rice paper with anything salad and dip it into dressing. Healthy salad rolls, easy and convienent when you can’t sit down with a bowl and fork.
Oh man, after 3 consecutive days of 12 hour shifts, I was dreaming canh yesterday. This morning after I took a shower and dragged myself to the kitchen for some coffee and some sort of biscuit, my mom had rice with canh waiting…drool. I grabbed a bowl right away and plowed my way faster than I should have. For those not in the know, canh is a light, lemony vegetable broth made from leafy greens. You pour that sucker over your rice, add any kind of meat and the left over lefty greens on top and chow down. I finished off with a few slices of watermelon. Perfect meal.
Half assed recipe:
Water, any flavorful leafy greens (like bok choy, spinach, cabbage, etc.)
Boil until greens are wilted and broth takes on color.
Separate broth and greens, add lemon juice and salt to broth until desired taste.
Note: for sweet and sour canh, use tamirand powder/paste, keep the greens in and add spam and pineapple.
