Sunday Delicious - Tacos

Happy Sunday !

I hope you all had the most amazing relaxing weekend with friends and family . My day was special , because I took time to remember my Mum , who had passed away a couple of years ago . It would have been her birthday today and in her memory and honour I decided the kids and I must go out to a restaurant and eat . Mexican cuisine is delicious ,Taco Bell obliged us today but if you want to cook up something at home here is a recipe favourite of mine Tacos .
It's a big hit with my children and I love it too. So happy cooking and Bon Appetit!


Ingredients:

  • 500g pack lean minced beef
  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 1½ tbsp dried oregano
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2tsp paprika
  • pinch chilli flakes
  • 24 taco shells

  • Instructions:
    Heat a large frying pan until very hot, then brown the mince. Remove, then season with salt and pepper. Add the oil to the pan and fry the garlic, oregano and spices for 1 min until fragrant. Return the beef to the pan and toss well, then cook for 2-3 mins until hot through. Warm the taco shells following the pack instructions and serve with the beef.




    An inspiring quote from Vincent Van Gogh, ''I dream my painting, and I paint my dream.'' You too can ''Dream your life, and make it come true.''
    Did you take time to go to church today ? Don't think that's not the place for me , go by all means ... and remember "it's not a place for saints think of it more as a hospital for sinners "

    Have awesome day. Keep smiling!

    Cute Outfit Inspiration For The Day !

    Happy Wednesday !

    The news has only been about Harvey Weinstein and little else . The amount of celebrities coming out of the woodwork to declare his evil sexual overtures towards them . Why on earth have they not spoken out about this years ago ?? Even if people don't take you seriously keep talking about any sexual predator you encounter . Don't let how important they are , intimidate you .

    These actresses obviously kept their mouth shut because they wanted money and fame ... I personally feel ashamed of Gywneth  Paltrow ,and somebody like Angelina Jolie talking about it now after so many years . You would think Angelina yeah she's a loud mouth who takes no shit from men ! I'm surprised at these women all keeping quiet , they obviously had an agenda in keeping quiet , and allowing this Man to assault more women indecently . These same women speaking out now about Weinstein are aware that he donated to the Clinton Foundation during the Clinton Campaign for Presidency , knowing fully well he is a sexual predator . Clinton took the money , took almost a week to condemn Weinstein but only via someone and I doubt she will ever return his dirty money. Absolutely appalling behaviour from all these women and no surprise from Clinton , she lives with a predator who has had more than 18 plus women who have accused him of sexual overtures . She has not divorced him, but continues to share her life with Bill . I actually dislike all that Hillary stands  for ,she's an appalling example to women . I'm so glad she never became President a corrupt , shrewd , ruthless women with money and power only on her mind . There is no Love and Peace in any of her daily thoughts , I'm sure . 

    Today look into your life feel strong , never let anyone intimidate you . Speak out about anything , don't feel you need to be careful and shush your soul . Be a strong person , money is nice I love it myself but don't allow yourself to be sold into becoming a bad person by allowing a rotten person to yield power and glory !  I very strongly believe as Harvey Weinstein is not in-control of his sexual urges , these kind of people can never be cured , and will always be a danger to society . The best punishment is a quick castration and then yes he can move on and become a better person . Maybe we can forgive him , it's probably an incurable illness and needs to be treated medically !

    An outfit for the day my inspiration , yes it's cute and sexy but it should never make you feel like you should not be sexy because some MAN can't control his sexual urges !

    Gorgeous Autumn Shoes !

    Happy Thursday !

    Today was a beautiful blustery autumn day and the weather was perfect . It rained now and again but I loved it all . The most beautiful thing about autumn is when you can wear on any shoe you like , beautiful boots , the ankle ones are pretty sexy and you could always go for the open toe because the weather doesn't fall much below 10 degrees , to freeze you up ...so much choice ! Today my blog is about the pretty shoes I fancied and had to share !

    Tonight the sky will be alight with this year harvest moon , it's been many years since it fell in October the last time being 2009 . More often it falls in September the next one in October is in 2020 . The harvest moon can be the most beautiful sight , appearing as a large plump orange coloured orb , around dusk . It has also been known to be called the blood moon by various Native American tribes . In the East it marks the end of the monsoon season . Enjoy viewing it wherever you are in the world !

    Colourful Handbags For The Autumn !

    Happy Monday !

    Only it wasn't so happy , today the world woke up to news of the mass shooting in Las Vegas , it was very sad to hear . What is the world coming too ? We need more peace and love will this ever be possible ? I hope one day my children will see Peace in the World , with no nuclear weapons with governments not pouring money into defence and weapons but investing in Health , education ,welfare and transport . These people are sick individuals and need good health care and need to be put into institutions . I don't believe it's the gun laws that need to be changed , it's bad people who use these guns dangerously . Bad things are happening around the world , and not all use guns ! We need to promote more love, peace and harmony .

    Sunday the Spanish police , over the Catalan Referendum also acted with such brutality which outraged the world . The Spanish government should be dissolved , to allow it's police to use such barbaric brute force and bullying methods is not letting democracy speak . It is an outrage that Spain is allowed to do this within the EU against it's citizens . Like I said the world is going crazy , and most of the time I just prefer to stay indoors ...it's getting scary outside !

    Today my blog has featured beautiful handbags , which can brighten the dull autumn gloom . Shopping is one of life's pleasures ! Enjoy ! There is one quote which I love "When it rains look for rainbows . When it's dark look for stars "

    Fashionable Pencil Skirts !

    Happy Friday !

    The weekend is always awaited , tomorrow is a big day in horse-racing , it's the day of the Arc ! That would be one of the best & most expensive races on the Flat calendar. It takes place across the Channel in France , a place called Chantilly, which is very beautiful .The favourite to win is ENABLE a filly who will be ridden by Frankie Dettori , the best jockey in the world and I will be very happy to put my money on it ! Have a bet on it , it would be worth it . You could also put a double , which I will be doing on the 4.35 also at Chantilly on Marsha ridden by a very very good jockey Luke Morris , unbelievably talented !

    Today's blog is about a favourite which never goes out of fashion ..the pencil skirt , I think it's glamorous and I love wearing them .
    The Pencil skirt is a classic feminine piece , that is elegant and fashionable . It is the most understated apparel in women's fashion but it has been around since the 1950's and suits all body types .
    The perfect piece of clothing and one that every woman should own , for a touch of sophistication and glamour ! Pencil skirts can be worn for every occasion , from casual to formal to even the red carpet .
    The timeless pencil skirt does not have to mean plain , there are so many modern twists to the skirt . They are now being designed as structured , slitted and even patterned . They can be worn sometimes above the knee , but the most suitable and sexy is below the knee . There are so many celebrities who are big fans of this fashion garment . Number one being Kim Kardashian . Others include Miranda Kerr , Kerry Washington and our own fashion Icon and Designer Victoria Beckham who absolutely loves pencil skirts .

    If you are wearing your pencil skirt for a formal occasion ,like the office , business meetings you would want a more conservative approach  . Pick out a high waisted styles  , in colours such as browns , black , blues and grey.

    For casual wear a lunch with friends , cocktails , afternoon movies, shopping days  think bright colours and patterns . Plaid and denim at the moment are very fashionable , so play on that trend .

    For nights out think leopard print , lace , faux leather and sequins . Always keep it below the knee so you still remain classy . Pair it with a spaghetti strap top , bustier , crop tops or the mesh blouses .


    If you love the four designs I have chosen out , I have listed the online shops where they are available . Hopeyou enjoyed reading this and love pencil skirts as much as I do !
    Pencil Skirts:
    1. Womens elastic waist band scuba pencil skirt / 14 pounds / Amazon.com

    Six Amazing Beauty Buys !



    Happy Thursday !

    Before I go on , the Playboy legend that is Hugh Hefner passed away yesterday sadly . He was one of a kind , a man who started his empire with a dream of going to a place that seemed well before that generation ever would . Naked women in magazines , Yes he empowered women to show their body and make big bucks out of it ! I'm all for women being powerful ... yes it's definitely better showing off your boobs , in a topless picture , than taking a selfie breastfeeding your little baby and posting it on social media , why involve the baby and think it's empowering ? Show your boobs with you alone and be powerful ! #RIPHef  loved and missed , forever remembered an icon !

    Today's blog ,six great beauty buys , worth having .For an amazingly long 'youthful' look without going under the surgeon's knife, The Foundation of Youth is what every woman over 45 needs! You would need to save up your money for it but it is under 100 dollars so it won't break your bank balance! Dr. Brandt Needles No More, is just 89 dollars available from Sephora.com.
    It gives a temporary tightening effect. This cream makes fine lines instantly less noticeable, while it works behind the scenes towards a more permanent smoothing.

    Top of the list is Revlon's Photo Ready Eye Art. They are priced at 10 dollars each and available from ultra.com.
    Just layer on these duo shadow sticks on the top of your eyelids or use it for a super flick across your lash line. They come in a wide range of colours and last a good number of hours for a perfect EYE DAY!

    My third choice would be a Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream from Bareminerals.com. It is available from February and costs 29 dollars. It has a perfect blend of a BB and a CC cream all in a jar of a perfect lightweight foundation with an SPF 30 combined!

    Fourth is a dark-spot corrector. It's available from Amazon.com for 15 dollars and called Aveens Positively Radiant Targeted Tone Corrector.
    It contains brightening soy and Vitamin A which speeds up cell turn over, starts to fade stubborn spots within a few weeks of consistent use!

    Fifth is the best shampoo & conditioner for colour treated hair. From Hollywood hair guru, Oribe, it preserves high maintenance hues. Its edelweiss extracts offers a fade-proofing, while the watermelon extract battles oxidation, The packaging is so pretty and elegant. It's the best thing your showers will see and you will be the envy of anyone entering your bathroom! Priced at 39 dollars and 42 dollars. They are not cheap, but used once a week they can last a good couple of weeks!

    At sixth is the most luxurious shampoo and conditioner for Blonde Hair , it's from John Frieda not cheap but more affordable than the shampoo above at number 5 , but absolutely worth it if you have dyed your hair and want to maintain the colour without it going brassy . The conditioner is out of this world and keeps your hair soft and nourished . I highly rec-command this product . It is available at most drugstores and supermarkets .
    Go Blonder Lightening Shampoo

    Enjoy these products which ever one you choose to buy for yourself or maybe you can afford them all ! Have a wonderful day and keep smiling!
