Deep musings of a model/actress

Did you know that the average college student spends over $500 per term, only buying textbooks? Seems like an awful lot of money to buy textbooks that often get opened one time, right? Well, with Chegg.com, you can save hundreds!

Lately, I have been drawing stuff, for myself as well as for people on Gaia Online. I hope to do more drawings over the winter break. I also need to put some of my new drawings, as well as poems on Deviant Art. Here are some examples below of what I recently drew. Feel free to comment, as always, I welcome (constructive) criticism. My Deviant Art page can befound here. And my Gaia online page is here.

WOO! FINALS ARE OVER!!

I've been in the mood for delicious drinks lately, although I am never a fan of packing on calories. So I have been making these concoctions, which are more like virgin margaritas than smoothies, really. One recipe was inspired by the cranberries which I boiled to make my famous home-made cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving. I had a lot of frozen cranberries left over, and didn't want them to go to waste. So I decided to throw them in a blender with a little crushed ice, a couple of lime wedges, and a splash of 2% milk. The result was this awesomely delish cranberry lime smoothie that my fiance and I enjoyed together.



And my other smoothie was made out of sliced kiwi fruit left over from a Thanksgiving dinner we went to at a friend's house. I love kiwi, and would have hated for it to get thrown away. So once again, I threw the fruit in the blender and decided to add some frozen blackberries and a little 2% milk, and voila, a gorgeous smoothie that everyone loved.

Holiday-inspired smoothies!
