Fall Fashion: Grunge!

It's been so long since I last posted, but school has started and I'm back in the swing of things (hopefully back to posting regularly). Anyways, I'm so excited for fall fashion! A style I have been absolutely obsessed with is Grunge! It coming back! I'll post a fall essentials post, but for now, enjoy the amazing style!

Twix Brownies

INGREDIENTS:
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate; coarsely chopped
3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
12 Fun Size Twix Bars, each cut into thirds

For the Caramel
10 individually wrapped caramel candies (I used Kraft)
2 tablespoons heavy cream

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Microwave chocolate and butter in a large bowl microwave-safe bowl at medium (50% power) for 3-4 minutes or until butter is melted.
3. Stir until chocolate is melted. Whisk in sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt. Gradually add in flour; stir until just combined.
4. Spread 1/2 the batter into prepared pan. Add an even layer of chopped Twix candy bars and cover with remaining 1/2 of brownie batter. Bake for 30-35 minutes; do not over bake.
5. Remove to cooling rack to cool completely. Just before serving, cut brownies and prepare the caramel sauce.
6. To make the caramel, place the caramels and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power in 30-second increments until the caramels begin to melt; stir frequently. Continue warming and stirring the caramels until you have a smooth, creamy mixture. Drizzle over each brownie and serve immediately.

* The brownies are very fudgy, make sure you allow them to cool completely before cutting into them.

Intergalactic LIGHTS!

HEY! I'm pretty much freaking out right now because I got 5 tickets to see LIGHTS at Great American Music Hall in San Francisco! She posted her new US tour dates on http://music.iamlights.com/tour/

Getting myself in the mood, I decided I was going to post ALL her music videos leading up to the concert. Enjoy her videos' for 'February Air' and 'Drive My Soul' off her album 'The Listening'.

Drive My Soul

February Air

Marina & The Diamonds!

I wanted to start this post off by saying that my mainstream music predictions have been pretty spot on this year. I posted "Call Me Maybe" in February, and then it suddenly skyrocketed! I also predicted that Sammy Adams would grow in popularity, and he has since he released "Only One". Usually, I'm very against mainstream music, because it's meaningless.
Regardless, I love Marina and The Diamonds! I'm excited to see that they're gaining popularity on the song Primadonna. Check them out! You'll find something you love!

Be Healthy Summer Through Fall!

Hello! This summer landmarked myself starting to make healthy choices for my body. I want any girl out there to know that eating healthy is not impossible, but that skinny doesn't equal beautiful. (Men don't want the body of a 10 year old boy!). It seemed that every time I ate a chocolate, I would beat myself up about it later. Luckily, I pulled myself together and snapped out of it. I have lost 15 pounds this summer, so know that eating healthy and exercise can change your life!

Never deprive yourself! Indulge when the moment is right. You only live once! Enjoy yourself!
