Homemade Bread

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> When we moved into our house our neighbors brought us a warm loaf of bread wrapped in natural brown parchment paper and tied up with raffia. It was such a sweet gesture and what could be better than a piece of warm bread with butter smeared on top when your exhausted from moving, followed up with a big old glass of wine.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> After tasting her delicious warm bread, I started playing around my mom's bread machine.

Start dough cycle. After 5-10 minutes, lift the lid and check dough. If dough is too sticky (levels out), add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time. If dough is too dry, add water a teaspoon at a time. Dough should be a loose ball that sticks to the sides, then pulls away.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> When dough cycle is complete, turn dough out onto lightly floured board. Roll into oval shape slightly longer than you want your final loaf to be. Starting from long side, roll into a cylinder shape. Pinch seam together. Turn over so seam is hidden. Pinch ends together and turn under making a small rounded shape on each end. Cover with a tea towel and allow to rise in warm place.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Make glaze and brush over loaf. Using a sharp knife, (I use a serrated knife) or a single edge razor blade, cut diagonal slashes about 2 inches apart and ½ inch deep across the top of loaf.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Bake loaf for 25 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake another 5-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove to cooling rack or slice and eat immediately.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.salad-in-a-jar.com/family-recipes/crusty-french-bread-mixed-in-a-bread-machine">source</a></div> </div>

MY NEW WONDER PRODUCT

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> Let me preface this post by saying that I'm a true minimalist when it comes to beauty products. I use dove soap,  I shampoo and condition with Tresemme because it makes my hair feel super clean and soft , and use Clinique for my face wash, lotion, and make up. All my life I have preferred to stick to these simple basics and they've served me well.<br /> <br /> After having Brian, however, I my skin has taken a turn for the worse. My freckles look more like brown spots, I have crazy dark circles under my eyes, and I can't believe I am even typing this, but I'm starting to notice some wrinkles on the outsides of my eyes!! Ugh!! I had a little time this weekend and took a trip to Lord & Taylor, a trip that I think may have changed my life. CC CREAM. Holy Sh** have you guys tried this? It is not at all like foundation (which I despise), it's practically invisible except for where you need it and because of that, I'm obsessed. Like, officially obsessed. It makes me look SO much better!! All the problems with my tired and sun abused skin disappear for the time I have this cream on and they say if you wear it long enough, it actually repairs your skin. Amazing.<br /> <br /> I also bought their dark circles cream that I love <i>almost</i> just as much. It goes on with a metal applicator so there is that instant cool feeling which is totally refreshing for the mornings, and it smooths and lightens the skin.<br /> <br /> Here is a before and after shot I took yesterday. Really baring it all here, I apologize in advance for the before, I had a long night with Mister the night before, eek.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhalS4IzO59VFvWkNyWFJckdTN6-0DNP41zy6-FhmQAV-rN7MmFAyjdeN9jBa65jyVpn0-MZ9awl1uHXyKaGKtn0MZbksRuU0p67PZQ7g9LXmbU6cw4J7hCAOiFaJyQKZz0F7d5clmTRdwM/s1600/CC+Cream.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="1045.75" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhalS4IzO59VFvWkNyWFJckdTN6-0DNP41zy6-FhmQAV-rN7MmFAyjdeN9jBa65jyVpn0-MZ9awl1uHXyKaGKtn0MZbksRuU0p67PZQ7g9LXmbU6cw4J7hCAOiFaJyQKZz0F7d5clmTRdwM/s1600/CC+Cream.jpg" width="500" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> So I recommend not walking but RUNNING to your nearest Clinique counter for this miracle cream OR you can buy here with free shipping (click on any image):</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="background: white; height: 195px; margin: 0px auto; width: 600px;"> <iframe frameborder="0" height="195px" scrolling="no" src="http://currentlyobsessed.me/api/v1/get_widget?wid=29&blog=Pure%2BJoy%2BHome&product_ids=882387a3e5768f2909cf6302d0f60cf7,b108d47f0d653fdd0566006fda1ac126&rows=1&cols=5&brand=1&price=1&hover=0" width="600px"></iframe></div> </div>

New Watercolors!

NEW (well, old) MUSIC DISCOVERY :: M83

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> I saw the Essentials Costa Rica commercial this morning and couldn't get the song out of my head, so I googled it and I'm so glad I did. I always loved the song Midnight City by M83 but never took the time to seek out the album and listen to it in its entirety. It's such an amazing album, titled <i>Hurry Up, We're Dreaming</i>, and I highly recommend you download it.  Many of you are probably wondering if I've been living under a rock because it came out in 2011, but if you're like me and not in a music scene, you may not have been exposed to it.<br /> <br /> Here is the song "Outro" from the Costa Rica commercial. It really is beautiful, listen to the whole thing. I could imagine it as the background music to a slideshow of Little Mister's first year of life, hmm....<br /> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Vi35XQjFV_A" width="459"></iframe></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> Isn't it brilliant?</div> </div>
