Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More

Serve God love me and men

This is not the end

Lived unbruised we are friends

And I'm sorry

I'm sorry

Sigh no more, no more

One ? one unsure

My heart was never pure

And you know me

And you know me

And man is a giddy thing

Oh man is a giddy thing

Oh man is a giddy thing

Oh man is a giddy thing

Love that will not betray you, dismay or enslave you,

It will set you free

Be more like the man you were made to be.

There is a design,

An alignment to cry,

At my heart you see,

The beauty of love as it was made to be 

I have recently noticed that my most commonly used labels ('love,' 'fashion,' 'clothing,' and 'food') sum me up pretty good! haha

Has any one tried one of these makeup sponges? From what I have heard, they are amazing, and I really want to buy one - I just have to justify the $20.00 to $40.00 price tag first (I mean, c'mon, its just a piece of sponge!). I did see a 'knock-off' cheapy at the drug store though....maybe its worth a try first.

Recipes You'll Love

Penne With Asparagus and Cherry Tomatoes

Ingredients

• 8 ounces penne pasta
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1/2 pounds thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 cups (about 9 ounces) cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup shelled fresh peas
• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock
• 1 cup grated Parmesan
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

2. In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add thegarlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the asparagus, season with the salt and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes until slightly soft. Add the cherry tomatoes and peas. Cook for 2 minutes. Pour the chicken stock into the pan and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the tomatoes start to burst and the stock is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.

3. Transfer the asparagus mixture to a large serving bowl. Add the cooked pasta and 1/2 of the Parmesan. Toss well, adding reserved pasta water, if needed, to loosen the pasta. Garnish with the remaining Parmesan and chopped basil

I went to a charity fashion show the other night with my mom, and I have been struck with some serious spring fashion fever. Now that parkas and toques are no longer necessary (fingers crossed, as I do live in unpredictable Alberta), I am looking forward to dresses, flats and the pale colors of spring. Here are a few of my must haves for this season...
