Jewelry Organizer

Hello!

I have been looking for a jewelry organizer for a while now. Since I have a lot of accessories, I needed a bigger organizer. I also do not really have a lot of space to keep it on the desk, for this reason I wanted the organizer which I could hang on the wall. 

After looking at several different options, I found the one!


I got it on Amazon.com and you can click here to check it out (I got 10.5 inch one).

In my opinion, it is very sturdy. What is more, easy to hang on the wall. 

I definitely recommend it for everyone who wants to keep their jewelry nice and neat.

Movies of March

Hello!

These are the movies I watched during the month of March!

The Heartbreak Kid - easy going romantic comedy, I liked it.

Redemption - decent movie, a good mix of genres.

Into The Wild - not a fan of the story, an okay movie.

Taken From Me - watched mainly because of Taraji P. Henson and it was pretty good.

Jobs - shots seemed distant, wonder if it really portrayed Steve Jobs.

Carrie - never seen the original version, but this movie was great.

Captain Phillips - great movie with intense parts to it, definitely recommend.

12 Years A Slave - dreadful story, expected it to be slightly better.

Gravity - great audio and visuals, script was okay, good movie overall.

Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa - different movie, based on pranks, funny, I liked it.

Baggage Claim - banal and easygoing movie, not a fan of Paula Patton.

300: Rise of an Empire - do not really like these kind of movies but it was an okay film, haven't seen the original one.

Last Vegas - fun-filled drama, pretty good movie.

Chili Soup

Hello!

I wanted to share with you my own recipe of chili soup which I've been making for a while now. It's extremely delicious and easy to make.

You'll need: 
ground turkey (1 lb.)
tomato paste (6 oz. can)
kidney beans (15.5 oz. can)
black beans (15.5 oz. can)
onion (half of medium onion)
pepper (1 medium pepper)
chili powder (1/4 cup)
crushed red pepper (1/2 tsp.)
black pepper (1/2 tsp.)
parsley flakes (1/2 tsp.)
italian seasoning (1/2 tsp.)
paprika (1/2 tsp.)
ground cinnamon (1/2 tsp.)
seasoned salt (1 tsp.)
water (3 cups)

First, brown your meat. In my case, I used ground turkey.



Saute vegetables. You can put whatever you think is going to taste good in this soup. I put half of onion, half of yellow pepper and half of red pepper.



Pour kidney and black beans into a pot where you will be cooking the chili (do not drain them). Add the tomato paste, cooked meat and sauteed vegetables. Pour 3 cups of water. Add chili powder, crushed red pepper, black pepper, parsley flakes, italian seasoning, paprika, cinnamon and seasoned salt. Mix it all, turn on the heat and simmer for at least 30 minutes.



You can serve it with some cheese on top.


Enjoy!

Kelly Howell - "Relieve Anxiety"

Hello!

Recently I've been feeling kind of tense and stressed out. I often would find myself worrying about not so important things in life and experience some symptoms of anxiety. 



This particular audio book caught my attention. It's by Kelly Howell and is called "Relieve Anxiety". One CD includes two 30 minute tracks. I was expecting someone to be talking and when I turned it on for the first time, I was disappointed. However, I decided to read the description one more time and realized it was brain wave therapy. I started listening to it again and really liked it. Basically what you hear is ocean and theta waves. You can also hear some kind of whispering in the background, which is known as subliminal messages. 

I was listening to this audio book while laying down with my headphones just before going to sleep. I felt relaxed and sleepy during it and found out that it is easy to fall asleep and start dreaming while listening to it. Overall, I definitely enjoyed it and would recommend!
