These are easy to make though, just use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut your tortillas, then fill and grill on the stove!

Ask Hel Q&A + Instagram Round-Up


It’s that time again! Nothing like waiting til the last day for the monthly Ask Hel Q&A. If you want to read some past ones you can check them out here, here, here and here (these are not even kind of in order.)

So basically it’s really simple what happens here–I answer questions I’ve been asked this month and share some Instagram photos. Let’s do it!

 

I have 12 hours to complete two works worth of work ?! Send prayers and Diet Cokes! // This gingham ruffle tank was just perfect for running around & completing errands today and is only $20! http://liketk.it/2vPf4 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Are those Ketel One Botanicals really as good as you say?

Lol so if you follow me on Instagram, you will see that I am working with Ketel One Botanical. Yes, this is a sponsored campaign but I always want to keep it 100 with y’all, so please believe me when I tell you–they are even better. Taste is subjective, of course, and different strokes for different folks, but I think they are absolutely delicious. They are very sweet and SO tasty if you mix with flavored soda water. My favorite combo is the Peach and Orange Blossom Botanical with peach soda water. Oh my gosh, new fave summer drink! If you like sweet drinks, you will like these!

 

Curvy girls! Where ya at?? ??‍♀️ // I found the most flattering bathing suit! The ruched sides are super slimming, and the back closure and adjustable bow keep all your parts in place. I’m also obsessed with the scallop detail on the straps. // I’m such a fan and it’s only $35! // I’ve linked my entire Memorial Day look here. http://liketk.it/2vVUe #liketkit @liketoknow.it

When you went to Disney, did you stay at a resort? Would you recommend it?

We did stay at a Disney Resort! We stayed at Caribbean Beach. We knew we were going to jam pack a ton of activities into our trip and wouldn’t be at the hotel except to sleep, so we opted for one of the middle tier hotels rather than a top tier. However, if we were going to make a week out of it I would stay at the Grand Floridian and have a spa day in the middle. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend staying at a Disney Resort. Obviously, it’s magical, but also practical! We the Disney’s Magical Express pick us up from the airport. We had a shuttle not only to every park, but also throughout the resort. You get a Magic for your entire trip. I 150% recommend staying at a Disney Resort!

How cute is this dress? It’s such a great little throw-on for Saturday morning errands! // Shop it here http://liketk.it/2vJ8M #liketkit @liketoknow.it

With the Glam Glow Mask, does the brush come with it? 

It does! The brush comes with it. I mentioned in the video that you need to wash it almost immediately after so it doesn’t harden. Think of it like a paint brush. But yes! It comes with the brush.

Happy Monday! Kicking off this week with how I get longer fuller lashes without wearing false ones. Don’t get me wrong.. I love my false lashes, but I can’t do that every day for work lol. So on the blog, I’m sharing my favorite tips and tricks to keep my lashes poppin! Check it out, link in bio!

What’s your favorite setting spray?

Easy. Urban Decay All Nighter. My friend says it smells like a McChicken, to which I cannot comment lol. However, I love the spray. I’ve been using it for a few years now and haven’t felt the need to branch out. It’s that good. However, my second new fave is SuperGoop Setting Mist! It has SPF 50 and doesn’t smell like sunscreen! It smells like mint. I love it! I’m always looking for sneaky ways to get in my SPF so this spray is right up my alley.

Alright! That’ll do it for this month! If you have questions feel free to call me, beep me, if ya wanna reach me. Have an awesome Thursday!

    My husband and I have already started thinking about our first Disney trip as a family of 3. We will probably go in the next 2-3 years but staying at a resort is a must for us. I’ll definitely have to look into the one you stayed at because middle-lower tier is what we are thinking. The UD setting spray is also my favorite!

      I busted out laughing when she said that! It really works. I’m not convinced on the McChicken thing lol

-First, cut the top off a round loaf of bread and remove the middle. 
-Cut all of the pieces removed into cubes and set aside. 
-Then take a jalapeno queso block and cut it into cubes. Place in a pan. 
-Then add two cans of drained green chiles and a splash of milk. 
-Heat over medium high heat on the stove stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Trust me nobody wants that cleanup. 
-Then immediately pour into your bread bowl and serve hot with the cubed bread pieces. Enjoy!
