Thanks everyone and Enjoy!

Welcome to Makeup Monday on Julie's Lifestyle. Each Monday I will post about a certain type of makeup, nail polish, face or hair product etc. It will be a fun place to come visit about anything to do with beauty.
Week 11 - Spring Nail Polish
Week 11 - Spring Nail Polish
Hello friends! Nothing says Spring to me like bright nail polish! Nail polish is so popular right now and it comes in such beautiful shades. I love nail polish and I have so many different colors and brands. These nail polishes are a small collection of my daughter's.
In the winter months I usually wear dark colors and not too light or bright, but when the spring and summer comes I like using brighter colors.
The first bottle of polish is from Butter London and the color is Trout Pout. This polish was bought in the Boots Drug Store in London when we were on vacation there over the summer and to see that post you can see it HERE. Great news on the Butter London Nail Lacquer you don't have to be in London to buy it! They now sell this polish and makeup in Macy's and to see the link click HERE. This is a splurge nail polish and it costs $15.00 if you want to treat yourself!
The next are from Essie and the colors from left to right are: Cute as a Button, Go Ginza, A Cut Above, and Bachelorette Bash. These polishes cost about $8.50.
The next are from Forever 21 and the colors are from left to right: Eggplant, Overcast, and Lavender and they were only $2.80 a bottle.
Do you like wearing nail polish and what is your favorite brand and color?
I hope you all enjoyed this post about nail polish and I look forward to seeing you all next Monday!
Thanks everyone and Enjoy!

Hi friends! Wednesday was the feast of St. Joseph and to celebrate many people eat the pastry called Zeppole. My father-in-law used to own a bakery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and he would bake them all the time for this occasion. It's a tradition in my husbands family to eat them and this is the pastry that I shared with my daughter. The pastry is filled with yellow cream and it's so delicious that if you have never tried one you have too!
This morning I gave Bosco a walk near the water and here are some pictures that I would love to share with you.
Here is what this tree looks like now that it's the start of Spring and this is what the tree looked in the winter and incase you missed that post you can see it HERE.
I started crocheting granny squares for an afghan that I'm making for our annual crochet sale at our church that we have each fall. I have decided to crochet the squares together. I'm still working on the men's scarf that I have been knitting and incase you missed that post you can see it HERE.

Hi friends, there will not be a Makeup Monday this week because I wanted to wish everyone today a HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!
I made on Thursday afternoon Irish Soda Bread and it came out really good. It was so delicious and not dry at all. Our good friend Mike gave me this recipe from his mom who was from Ireland. I am not sure if he wanted me to share his moms recipe so I am sharing with you a few photos of the bread I baked.
This bread came out so good and we loved it so much that I'm going to make another loaf of it this afternoon! We all love Irish Soda Bread and it tastes so good warm with butter spread on top.
We are going to have corned beef, potatoes and roasted brussels sprouts for dinner tonight and if you want to see my recipe for brussels sprouts you can find that HERE. My husband, daughter and I love celebrating St. Patrick's Day each year and many years ago my husband and I went out with all our friends to the St. Patrick's Day parade in New York City and that was so much fun! Now we usually stay home and watch the parade on TV!
I now want to share with you an Irish Blessing that I like:

Hi friends, back in February of 2013 I shared with you a recipe for Spaghetti and Clams and I would love to share it with you again. This is a quick and easy recipe and it's a family favorite in my house.
Ingredients:
1 16 oz. package of Spaghetti or Whole Wheat (any brand)
1 6.5 oz. can of Snow's Chopped Clams in Clam Juice
4 garlic cloves - chopped
3 tablespoons of olive oil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
dash of salt and pepper
Directions:
In a big sauté pan add olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes. In another big pot filled three quarters of the way with water add salt and bring to a boil. Follow the package directions to cook the spaghetti. Meanwhile, sauté the oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes. When the garlic starts to brown add in the clams with the clam juice and sauté until the pasta is cooked. Drain the spaghetti and add to the clams. Mix together and serve with grated cheese.
NOTE: If you do not like clams, you can substitute the clams with shrimp or any other seafood that you like!

This recipe would be great served with Italian or Garlic Bread and a Salad. I hope you try this recipe and let me know how you liked it.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and see you all next week!
Thanks everyone and Enjoy!
