Taco Stuffed Shells
As a New Year resolution, my husband and I have vowed to try and not to eat out as much and to have "healthier" meals at home.
Stuffed Taco Shells
They are delish!!
I got the recipe here: Taco Stuffed Shells
I used 1lb of ground beef instead of turkey..my taste preference
I also added a bit more taco seasoning..to taste and two shakes of chili powder..yes I did not do specifics :)
I also added 2 cups instead of 1 cup of taco sauce..it made it juicer.
I also had extra shells left over so I tossed them in olive oil and froze them for another meal!

Eylure Lashes Review
I recently had the opportunity to try eylure lashes. I did this trial for run for another fellow blogger, and my Aunt, Kellys Thoughts on Things.
I wore them both on New Years Eve and throughout the day on New Years Day. I found them very easy to apply. They blend in very well with your natural eyelashes and they are contact friendly!
First you apply your make up like you would normally. Then you apply the adhesive to the eyelash you are applying. Then you wait 30 seconds until the white color of the adhesive turns to clear. You apply them right above (however close to your eye lash line as you can get) your lashes. I added some extra liner because I found that you could still see the white strip that the fake lashes were attached to, but once I applied the extra liner the white couldn't be seen! I then used a lash brush to join my lashes with the fake lashes to make them appear more cohesive. The end result was awesome! I recommend these to everyone!

A little about eylure:
Eylure became part of the Original Additions portfolio in 1991.
Description
Eylure lashes were first developed by a partnership of makeup artists and costume designers, David and Eric Aylott, who began making lashes as well as wigs, beards and moustaches for some of the biggest names in the film industry. Their Eylure lashes proved popular with some many Hollywood leading ladies such as Marlene Dietrich, Joan Collins, Ingrid Berman, Sophia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor, famo...usly creating her legendary look as Cleopatra.
Eylure lashes were revered for creating an instant effect on camera, far better than any other makeup product. Little did they know at that point that they were on the verge of perfecting the biggest news in beauty enhancement since the discovery of the lipstick!
Word has spread quickly throughout the film industry and their eyelashes were in high demand, so in 1948 they decided to make their famous lashes available from retail shops.
By the 1960s Eylure had become established as a must-have item when the emphasis for false lashes changed from film to regular, everyday wear - becoming a beauty essential. Since then Eylure has continued to rise in popularity and is now firmly established as a celebrity favourite
