QVC Haul

Hey everyone!

I'm really late with this haul.  But I wanted to share with you anyway.  I absolutely love QVC!  I like to watch in the morning while I get ready for work.  Then there's Tuesday Night Beauty!  Friday Night Beauty!  Shoe Shopping with Jane!  The annual Ffany Shoes on Sale event!  And of course the TSV!  But let's not forget the Easy Pay options.  Easy Pay allows you to get that product that may be a bit more than you want to pay all at once.  Besides all that, it really is easy shopping.  I've done most of my Christmas shopping this year through QVC.

Now that we've established how much I love QVC, we'll get on with the haul.  Since I'm late putting this up, my apologies, not everything is still available.  But I found some good stuff for ya'll.  You can check out my video too! ;)

Till next time!

Lots of Love,
Aimee Lou

Marinated Cheese



Hey everyone!  So with the holidays here, we all like to gather together with our friends and family and eat some good food.  Right?  That's what the holidays is all about!  I thought I would share with ya'll this recipe for marinated cheese that I have been making for parties for years.  It's always a hit.  Who doesn't like cheese??

This particular recipe comes from the October 2006 issue of Southern Living.

Here are the ingredients you will need......

1 (0.7 oz) envelope Italian dressing mix

1/2 cup olive oil (or vegetable)

1/4 cup white vinegar

2 Tbsp minced green onion (I use 2 average size stalks)

2 Tbsp water

1 1/2 tsp sugar

1 (8 oz) block Monterey Jack cheese, chilled
1 (8 oz) block Cheddar cheese, chilled
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, chilled

1 (4 oz) jar chopped pimiento, drained
Assorted crackers



Whisk together the first 6 ingredients and set aside.

Cut the Monterey Jack cheese in half lengthwise.

Then cut each half crosswise into 1/4 inch thick slices.

Repeat those same steps with the Cheddar cheese and the cream cheese.

Arrange the cheese in 4 rows in a shallow 2 qt baking dish, alternating the cheese.  ( I used a deep Ziplock container for the marinating process, but it was narrow so it works just as well as if you would use a shallow baking dish)

Pour the marinade over the cheese.

Cover and chill at least 8 hours.

When you're ready to serve it, carefully move your marinated cheese to your serving dish.  For extra flavor, I use a fork to grab all the green onions out the marinade and sprinkle them over the cheese.  I also drizzle a bit of the oil over the cheese too.

Then you drain your pimiento and sprinkle them over the cheese as well.

Serve with some assorted crackers of your choice and enjoy!

Such a simple and yummy dish to bring to any party for any occasion.

Till next time!

Lots of Love,
Aimee Lou

October 2014 Favorites

Hey everyone!  Hope you are all having a fabulous weekend so far!  I know I'm extremely late putting up my October favorites, but I do have a legit reason.  My computer is to the max with storage space.  So I'm in the process of safely removing all my YouTube (over a year worth) videos on CD's.  As well as photos.  And it's been a bit of a process.

But anyhootowls......

Now that October has come and gone, and November for that matter, time just fly's by, it's time to show you what I've been loving.  As always, everything mentioned in this video will be linked down below.  *No affiliations*

I hope you all had a very spooky Halloween and a Happy Thanksgiving.  I'll be back soon with my November favorites.  In the meantime, what have been some of your favorites these past months?

Lots of Love,
Aimee Lou

Younique Moonstruck 3D Fiber Lash

Hey again!  Just wanted to drop a little line about this new mascara that I recently discovered.  It's the 3D Fiber Lash by Younique.  And I am in LOVE!!  I am already a mascara lover.  Well, this stuff just blew me away!  Check out this little before and after....


Crazy right!!??  It gives you the look of false lashes without the fuss!  AND..... it's so much better for your lashes!  So many good ingredients.  It comes in a little eye glass looking case.  And the fibers and the transplanting gel are in separate tubes.  The price is $29.



I can't so enough good things about this product.  I've worn it for a little over a week now and I haven't experienced any of the fibers falling out during the day.  That I've noticed anyway.  But I love it so much, I decided to host an online party of my own.  All I get out of this party is credit towards more mascara!  LOL!  No one paid me to review this product and I bought it with my own money from a friends online party.  If you are interested, you can get your very own mascara here.  You can also check out my video below for more info about the mascara as well as a demo.

Thanks! ;)

Lots of Love,
Aimee Lou

New Video: Empties!!

Hey everyone!  Happy Friday!  So glad the weekend is finally here.  It's been a looong week for me.

And speaking of long, tehe, my new video is the longest of any of my videos.  I apologize about that. I let my empties basket fill up & over.  I promise I won't let that happen again.

But, if you're like me, the longer the better ;)  I love watching empties videos.  I'm always sad when they're over.  LOL!  I just enjoy seeing what other bloggers are using and what they think about them.

So grab a cup of coffee, tea or maybe even a snack.  Popcorn & rainsonettes are my favorite.

Enjoy ya'll!

Till next time,
Aimee Lou
