Central Michigan University Fashion Show
The theme for the show was time, each designer had to choose a time period and modernize it. The time period I designed for was the 1930's. Here are some pictures of the show, friends and family.

Apple Chips
The perfect healthy snack!!!! You have a crunch like a chip, but the benefits of a apple.
1. Buy a bag of organic apples
2. Wash apples and preheat oven to 250 degrees
3. Cut out core/or leave it in and take out seeds
4. Slice thin slices all about the same size (this makes sure they all take the same amount of time to get crispy)
5. Place wax paper on a large cookie sheet or two
6. Lay out apples on the cookie sheet
7. Sprinkle a little or a lot of cinnamon
8. Bake for 30 min and then mix them around the cookie sheet.
9. Bake for another 30 min and mix again
10. Start watching the apples to turn a golden brown and for edges and apple slices to shrivel.
11. Let cool and Enjoy

A little Story
Roommates and Friends Forever
Some people call it luck.....
About 3 years ago I was sitting on the floor at CMU's library. I was waiting to go into a room to figure out my classes for the first semester of Central. Next to me sat another girl waiting for the same thing, I was not really in to mood to strike a conversation but in no time I hear a "hello, my name is Meagan". So I introduce myself and say "hi, my name is Liz. It is nice to meet you". We start small talk, talking about where we are from and what we are coming to central for, the normal college talk. Just before we walk in to create our schedules she asks if I am living with anyone in the dorms, and I say "No". Right after the no was out of my mouth she asks, "want to room together" and without even knowing her last name I said "yes".
From then it was phone calls back and forth trying to figure out were to live and what to bring. Meagan was on top of it, I was more enjoying my summer and kind of going with the flow, not really thinking about school yet.
The first day comes faster then a bullet, summer was done and over in a blink of a eye. Move in day quickly awakens and by the end of the day I was all moved in, ready to start my first semester at a university. Before I started putting all my stuff away I looked a Megs area, everything was so neat and clean, totally different then a typical Liz room. It was a nice feeling, but I did quickly realize that I now had to change my ways a bit and start picking up. As my mom calls me " a one woman destruction machine" I say it is a little over kill. Meagan had moved in early because of a camp she did a week or so before, so now it was my turn to unpack. Luckily the closet was not very full, because I very quickly filled that up.
The year went by at a normal pace, we were friends with one of our roommates and then mid year they decided to switch. Our roommates may have changed friendships but we never did, it was always Meg, Me and one of the other roommates.
Second year came and we found a apartment. It was probably the most exciting time for us, we finally had room to move and make food. This year Megs boyfriend and my boyfriend were living together in a apartment about a half a mile away. It was a lot of fun, all of us were very busy and it was hard to get together. This year went by way to fast.
Third year, same apartment, my boyfriend had moved back home and it was about to be the best year yet. We were both crazy busy, running around like crazy people. Meg got a job and I was doing a fashion show. So it was always a fast hello and a even faster goodbye, but yet it was always a good bye and hello with a smile. This third year and last year we will be living together is over in 4 days. Three years of our living together is coming to a quick halt.
Through out our three years I was always asking were my phone is or how to spell something, and meg always had the answer. I like to talk, for those who dont know me, and meg always listened. I had a really hard time in our second year, and she was there to hold me when I cried. These are the friends you hold on to for the rest of your life and never let go.
So.......Some wonder how we managed to live together for three years and also never have a fight. Like I said, some call it luck but I think it was already written in God's book before we even sat down on that library floor.

Color Harmony and Blocking
Spring 2012
Patterns? Not as much (but still is) for this spring and summer. Lots of solid colors paired with other solid colors, aka color blocking. The colors used in the color blocking also create a color harmony, all around the same shade of color. Also don't forget your pastel color jeans!!! There perfect for every thing you can imagine, dress them up, dress them down, roll them up, cut them up, or even stud them up.

Healthy Eating 101
(Pinterest)
Some of not only the best metabolism foods but also some of the most healthiest foods for you.
Starting with Grapefruit- tons of fiber, and definitely a taste you have to get used to.
Green Tea- helps fight cancer and heart disease, lowering cholesterol, burning fat, preventing diabetes and stroke. Also is LOADED with antioxidants. I am not a fan of green tea, so I make iced lemon green tea, you just have to add organic lemon juice.
Greek Yogurt- Has twice as much protein then normal yogurt, my favorite kind is Fage 0% then add some fruit and of course granola.
Almonds-Tons of vitamins and minerals, protein, fiber and they also have essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6. Many people are scared of almonds because of the amount of calories and fat, the fat is monounsaturated fat (good fat, great for your heart), and just eat a handful a day.
Coffee- Who does not love coffee?!?! The benefits of coffee are something to love as well, helps with blood pressure, fight cancer, help with cholesterol, diabetes and Parkinson's Disease only in men.
Apple- cleans teeth while eating, don't peel your apple, the skin contains Pectin which helps remove toxic substances (so make sure you by organic), and provides good vitamins and minerals the body needs.
Broccoli- a super food!!! Helps lower cholesterol, strong impact on our bodies detoxification system, helps with vitamin D deficiency, 1 cup has 135.2% of your daily amount of vitamin C, and 115.5% of vitamin K. Broccoli has anti-inflammatory benefits, antioxidants benefits, decrease risk of colon cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer, and ovarian cancer. The list goes on and on, so eat your broccoli.
Oatmeal- If you are not a fan, try Go Lean cereal lots of protein and fiber and will keep you full and satisfied just like oatmeal. Also try to start eating cereal with almond milk, taste really good, less calories and more benefits then Skim milk.
EAT HEALTHY, IT IS THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF.
