It's also the perfect dish to make if your kitchen is under construction like mine was for this video. It's a cold dish so nothing to heat up. 

First, mix together two cans of drained whole-kernel corn, two cups of mexican blend cheese, one cup of light mayo, diced red pepper, pepper and a bit of cilantro in a bowl. Then, add crushed Chili Cheese Fritos and mix well. Serve and enjoy!

This is my favorite way to make a regular drink feel fancy! Sprinkle a little edible glitter in a silicone mold and fill with water and freeze. When it melts, your drink will be cute and sparkly.

My drink today is two ounces of bourbon, one ounce of peach syrup, lemon juice and club soda! Stir and watch it sparkle.

First, either make or purchase cupcakes with green frosting. My kitchen was under construction for this video, so I purchased mine. But you can easily make your own and even use the grass piping tip to make grass. 

Then I found these golf-tee toothpicks. Place one in each cupcake. 

Then use cookie icing to secure a white chocolate truffle to each of the tees. 

Allow the icing to harden, serve and enjoy!

Feb. Ask Hel Q & A + Instagram Roundup

Nothing like waiting until the absolute last day of the month to do my Ask Hel post… lol. Happy February! Oh well, we are getting it done!

In case you are new, I do these “Ask Hel Q & A” posts once a month and round up some Instagram photos and products. You can check out last month’s postΒ here.

Happy Friday Eve! // I am LOVING this cute pom sweater to get me through this awkward transitional weather month! // To get the product details for this look and others, follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app http://liketk.it/2uJZd #liketkit @liketoknow.it

You met your husband on a blind date?? More please.

Lol so this question came from my Instastories. I posted a picture of my and my husband as total babies because we celebrated the six-year anniversary of our first date this weekend. I captioned it with “say yes to blind dates ladies.” Ok, so that’s how this question came about. Here is the backstory on me and hubby. We met in college at a sorority party. I was on our “Executive Council” and we had to take turns being “on-duty” at events–meaning we had to stay sober, man the guest list, and were willing to take girls home. It was my turn, so I wasn’t going to bring a date. I was going to go, man the door and head out when it was over. A few hours before the party, a guy-friend who was going with another girl in my sorority asked if I could bring his friend just so he could get on the guest list. “That friend” was Stephen. I agreed and assumed he would just go and hang out with our mutual friend and the other girl. However, he was an incredibly attentive date. He stayed by my side the entire night, and then when the night was over asked me to dinner the next night. Six years later and here we are. So there it is, how we met. πŸ™‚

Are your eyelashes real? What mascara do you use?

First off–thank you! That is so sweet. My eyelashes are real! I use Lashboost from Rodan & Fields. It works MIRACLES. My lashes have gotten longer, thicker, and darker. So much so that even my mom has asked me at one point if I’m wearing fake lashes. I don’t sell this, just love it. If you are interested in this product, my girl Brina can hook you up! She is my Rodan & Fields Consulant (and bestie gal-pal.) You can email her here or follow her on Instagram for specials and promotions. So in terms of mascara, I have used L’Oreal Telescopic for years. However, I try all kinds of mascara–my favorite this week is PUR Fully Charged (my friend Brina recommended this too!) She’s the eyelash queen haha.

Today on the blog I’m sharing my favorite color for spring and some of my favorite looks! Check it out! Link in bio!

How’s BBG going? Do you like it? Is it worth the app?

Ok sooooo. I had the flu and kind of lost stamina. HOWEVER! I am getting back to it. I LOVE the program. It keeps me motivated and on track. I know exactly what I’m supposed to do on what day. I think it is definitely worth the app because you can see exactly the form you need to take to perform the exercises, you have a meal plan, a workout calendar, and a community. I love the app and think it is totally worth it.

LOl and I almost punched my computer over the last photo so we’re not doing the last insta photo.

How did you hit 10k on Instagram?

It was a lot of years of work. I utilized my hastags, tagged brands, engaged with other Instagram users. Honestly, one day it finally just worked. It took a longggg time and it moves at a different pace for everyone. For me it took a long time, but I’m going to keep going. Just keep chugging along.
