Cookies in a Mug

If you liked my brownies in a mug post then you'll like this one! Here's what you'll need for Cookies in a Mug:


  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3 drops of vanilla
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 tbsp of chocolate chip (or other mix in)
  • Your favorite mug

First, melt your butter in your mug. I put mine in the microwave for about 30 seconds then stirred the rest to melt it. 


Next add both sugars, vanilla and salt. Mix it in until it is a smooth consistency. If there are any clumps left it will be awkwardly left in the cookie. 


Now add the flour, egg yolk and mix until it is a cookie dough texture.


Now add your chocolate chips or other add in. I used butter scotch chips. Mix them in until they are evenly distributed. Pop your cup in the microwave for 40-60 seconds. 

Just wait for your cookie to cool a bit and BAM! You have a cookie that only took about five minutes. Enjoy!

Dazzling White Teeth Whitening Pen



While on a trip to the Dollar Tree, I was in the cosmetics aisle and saw the Dazzling White Teeth Whitening Pen and I decided to try it out. It comes in a twist up brush applicator that is easy to apply. I definitely noticed a difference after one use. After using it a few more times, my teeth are about 3 shades whiter. It does say to rinse off thoroughly, but I still noticed sensitivity in my gums. To fix that I only have been using one a week or every other week and I no longer have sensitivity. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is looking into at home teeth whitening for very little money.

Brownies in a Mug Recipe! (No Egg)

I have seen this recipe all over Tumblr and Pinterest, so I decided to try it out! This version does not call for an egg or butter like some others do. Here's what you'll need!



  • 1/4 cup of flour
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • 2 TBSP of cocoa powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • 2 TBSP of olive oil 
  • 3 TBSP of water
  • Your favorite mug
  • Toppings such as marshmellows, nuts, etc. (optional) 


First add all your dry ingredients. Mix with a fork until everything is evenly distributed. Make sure you get the bottom of the mug and the sides. 

 
Next add the wet ingredients. Again, mix until smooth. If you are adding nuts or some thing else you want throughout the brownie, add it now. 


Now put it in the microwave for a minute and forty seconds (some times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave).


If you are going to add marshmallows like I am, put a small handful on top then pop it back in the microwave for 10 seconds. 


Now that your marshmallows are a little melted, wait for your treat to cool and enjoy! :)

Outfit of the Day: I just like skirts.


Today I really wanted to wear a skirt I had bought last week from Gap. It has some polka dotted designs on it that remind me of peacock feathers for some reason. I paired it with a fitted light blue tee.


For shoes I wore knee high grey socks under my brown leather boots. They are super comfy and cute!

Purederm Nose Pore Strips Review

While doing some after Christmas shopping I found nose pore strips at Forever 21. I had been looking for something like this for quite sometime so I decided to pick them up and try them out.


I got the "Tea Tree" version, there was also a charcoal version. In each box you get six strips. Before applying the strips you have to wet your nose down with water. You then apply the strip and press it down so that the whole strip is in contact with your skin.


This is my nose before the strip. I have quite a few black heads across my nose.


This is my nose after. Honestly it didn't do much. It did remove a few of the blackheads from the front of my nose, but nothing major. For the price I paid for the pack, I'm not to disappointed and I will probably use the rest of them in hopes of better luck!

Comment below if you know of any products or home remedies to remove blackheads and maybe I'll try them out and post about it! If I try your suggestion I will definitely give you credit.
