Crockpot Chicken BBQ - SO EASY!!!!

The The fact that we had some snow fall last night, I figured this would be the perfect time to make something delicious but easy (since we're still trying to unpack)! - that's when I decided to make Chicken BBQ - Crockpot style! This is seriously the EASIEST thing to make with MINIMAL ingredients! This is how I made mine:

Ingredients:

1 1/2 tbs Brown Sugar

2 tbs Apple Cider Vinegar

4 Chicken Breasts

1 bottle Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce in Original (read instructions below on how I used this)

1 Pack of hamburger buns

****Of course, you don't have to use the brown sugar and vinegar mix in yours if you prefer not to, it will turn out fine with just BBQ sauce.... I just prefer mine a little more vinegar-y and a little sweeter ;) 

Add the brown sugar and vinegar into the crockpot, mix all ingredients. Then take out the chicken breasts and add them to the crockpot. You can cut them in half if they are large and you want to cut down on cooking time - I did this and they turned out great. Then swirl the chicken breasts around in the brown sugar and vinegar mix and make sure they are fully coated in the mix. Once completely coated, take the Sweet Baby Ray's and generously apply the sauce on top of the chicken - the amount you use is totally up to you! After that, set your crockpot on HIGH heat and leave in for about 3 to 5 hours. The chicken can be consumed after 3 hours but the longer it cooks, the easier it will be to shred and of course the flavor will be better absorbed. Once the cooking time is up, take two forks and start to shred the chicken. The mix may look a little watery but that will go away once all of the chicken is shredded. Once shredded, scoop some out and put it on a bun! You can add hot sauce, coleslaw or eat it plain, whichever you prefer!

 This is one of my favorite things to make and it works in snowy weather and in the summer time! I hope y'all enjoy! XO

DIY Hot Oil Hair Treatment That WORKS!!!! Yey!

 **I posted this on my last blog, but felt the need to repost because it's one of my favorites.**
A hot oil hair treatment that works using JUST OIL - NO CHEMICALS! It leaves your hair feeling super silky and NOT heavy or oily! I do this about once every month, mainly for lack of time on my behalf, but if you have the time, do it as often as you need it. The winter time sucks when it comes to your hair and skin so keep up this regimen and that's one less thing you'll have to keep up with ;) ENJOY! xx

1.            Put the olive oil in a bowl (the amount depends on the length and thickness of your hair) and place the bowl with the olive oil in the microwave. 

2.            Heat up the oil in 10 second increments. You'll probably have to do this a few times. Also, make sure you keep an eye on it while it's in the microwave. *CAUTION: Be extremely careful not to burn yourself, the oil may be hot.* 

3.            Pour the warm olive oil over your hair and comb through thoroughly. Use your fingers to massage the oil through the hair and on to your scalp. 

4.            Once that's done, put your hair in a bun and place a shower cap over it. 

5.            (Optional) Wet a towel with warm water, wring it out and carefully wrap it around your head.  Let it sit for 30 minutes. This will help open pores causing the treatment to be more efficient.

During the 30 minutes, if the towel gets cold, carefully take it off and re-wet it with warm water. Once the 30 minutes is up, wash your hair thoroughly with 
shampoo as normal.
