Rosemary Rolls

Anytime I have a small get together I love to have \”tea sandwiches\” available for my guests. They are usually tuna, chicken salad or both, always on semi-homemade rosemary rolls. Due to the delicious rolls these sandwiches have become a big hit with anyone who tries them.

Buy a frozen loaf of bread (I bought wheat) cover it in Crisco and set on the counter. Allow to thaw and rise.

 Once it has risen spread it out on wax paper.

Sprinkle with rosemary (I bought McCormick 100% Organic Rosemary Leaves)

Squish and work the dough to combine the rosemary.

One loaf will make six rolls. I baked mine on my Pampered Chef Stone, but a cookie sheet and parchment paper will work as well. *bake at 325 for 15 minutes or until golden brown no longer doughy.

When the rolls come out rub butter on the top to give them a shiny look.

The vibrant colors and textures of lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit make inspiring fresh color palettes. A pop of citrus adds a boost of energy to any outfit, and you can’t help but feel happiness when surrounded by these juicy hues. What do you think of citrus inspired outfits?

Pretty colors kept me inspired this week while the weather went from low 40\’s to high 80\’s and everything in between. A positive aspect of my week was when one of my elderly neighbors invited me over for dinner, and asked if I could bring the dessert. I went with my go-to confection; a simple pink party cake; lemon cake with raspberry filling topped with meringue buttercream and confetti sprinkles. Do you have a go- to dessert you like to make?

Must-Have Makeup Brushes

The proper tools are fundamental for any job, and makeup is no exception. For the right tools you can go as cheap or expensive as you like. Cheaper brushes do not feel as nice, and the bristles easily fall out, but they will achieve the same look. In my opinion, if you are going to splurge it should be on powder, blush and bronzer brushes.  I use BARE ESSENTIALS makeup brushes. What brand(s) do you use? 

 Must-Have Makeup Brushes
• Powder brush
• Blush brush
• Bronzer brush
• Three eye shadow brushes
   • Blending brush (with big bristles)
   • Crease brush (small pointed brush)
   • Eye shadow brush (regular for application on lid)
• Eyeliner brush

This spring, it is not just about the bold and neon hues. But also the pretty pastels and barely there neutrals. I love chiffon inspired palettes and frequently find myself gravitating towards simple nudes and pretty peaches. What do you think about this color?
