you know you are a hoarder when you don't know if something belongs in the trash so you end up stuffing it somewhere -__-

In other news..
I finally have a workout buddy!!! Oh yeah!!
It's so hard to workout by yourself without a buddy to motivate you, so I'm thankful that I finally have one!
Yesterday we walked and ran on this path behind her house that's two miles long..
For our first day, we made good progress.
A couple days before that we bought jump ropes because jump roping is the best exercise next to power walking..from what I've heard.
The last time I jump roped was in elementary school..such sweet memories haha
Our goal is to be able to run/jog the path twice and jump rope at least 1000 times and stretch.
This is just a little update, but I have decided to post measurements and pictures to motivate me even more.
If you need a workout buddy, just let me know ;]
God Bless!! <3

REVIEW: Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Anti Chip Top Coat
I wanted to see if there was a cheaper alternative to the Seche Vite Top Coat and I decided to try this out.
Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Anti Chip Top Coat
Company Product Claims: Keeps manicures beautiful up to 10 days! Exclusive Acrylic Polymer Complex helps get you out of the door in a flash - just 30 seconds to set! High gloss superior shine.
The company website also claims that the product has the following three benefits: Double UV filters shield manicure from fading and discoloration, helps resist chipping, salon and dermatologist tested.
Application Tips: After applying your nail polish, wait two minutes, then apply one coat of top coat and will be dry to the touch within 30 seconds.
(source: sallyhansen.com)
My Two Cents
I usually don’t wait ten days to take off my nail polish, but I noticed that the polish stayed on a bit longer than when I use Seche Vite. I did see the occasional cracks appearing around the 7th day instead of the usual 5th. The color didn't fade which is a definite plus. Two minutes seems to be a long time to wait to apply top coat, but it's going to be time to apply the top coat any way by the time you're done painting all of you nails. Overall, this is a great dupe to the Seche Vite Top Coat. It works the same and it's cheaper, which I really like.(NOTE: My thoughts and opinions may be different to yours)
Price: $5.00 at Wal-Mart (prices may vary depending on the store and location)
Have any of you tried this before?
What do you think about this product?

Cooking with Grace #1
(Vegetarians Beware!!)
I made this a few weeks ago and I wanted to show you how to cook Fried Pork Cutlet aka Ton Katsu aka 돈까스 (don kka seh)
It’s VERY simple and easy to make.
Things you need:
Pork cutlet sliced (thin) – can get them anywhere…I usually get them at Super Wal-Mart
Salt and Pepper
Bread Crumbs…I recommend using Korean or Japanese ones, but that’s because those are the only ones I used. But bread crumbs are bread crumbs (.____.)
Eggs, whisked (I usually start with two eggs)
Flour
Pork Cutlet Sauce
Frying oil
Knife
Pounder thingy…cooking hammer? I really don’t know what it’s called hehe
Directions:
1. Cut the side with the fat to prevent the fat to gather together and “crinkle” the meat when cooked
2. Pound both sides of the cutlet with the hammer until it is thinner than what you started with
3. Season salt and pepper or whatever seasoning you like. I used garlic salt.
4. Cover both sides with flour.
5. Cover both sides of the meat with the eggs. Make sure it’s completely covered so the bread crumbs will stick to the meat.
6. Cover both sides with the bread crumbs. I do this twice so there’s a lot of bread crumbs on it.
7. Fry in oil until both sides are golden brown.
8. Set it aside on a paper towel to get rid of excess oil.
9. Slice and serve with rice, cabbage salad (thinly sliced cabbage with dressing), and pork cutlet sauce.
My favorite is called Bulldog and it looks something like this.
Another favorite of mine is curry cutlet…Japanese style!
I hope you guys try it and let me know how it turns out for you!
Don’t forget your kimchi!! Haha :D
God Bless! <3
