It's summer time and we're all wearing sandals, flip flops, open-toe shoes, etc. It's critical that we keep our toes looking decent  to prevent embarrassing moments (keke). If you have the time, you can even make them look cute and summer-themed.

And that's what I did no my mom's toes. She likes to wear sandals a lot so I thought I'd help her do something simple, but fitting to the season. I painted her toes with a light natural shimmery pink. Then I used some nail decals that I bought in Japan and arranged it in a way to my liking. After, I polished with clear polish to reinforce the decal's staying power. Look at the results! I love them! keke.....now I just have to do my own.

I don't like myself. I push people away. I make them give up on me. It happens all the time.

In some aspects, things are looking up. Not saying everything is perfect, but I guess that's life.
I think I tend to attract people that would take me for granted. It's like sometimes I wonder if the things I do for some people, like if I were to turn things around, would they do the same for me? Not going to complain cause I don't mind, but sometimes I can't help but to feel under appreciated. Like once, they get used to me, they expect me to do so. Like I'm supposed to. This happens to me all the time. I hate it. Makes me unhappy to think about it all the time. Another one of my many problems in life i guess...

All you need is a food processor for this recipe. I wanted hummus and didn't have garbanzo beans (chickpeas, whatever you wanna call it), so I used my can of black beans that's been sitting in my cabinet for ages. Came out fantastic.....I think I might like black beans better!

Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tsp Tahini
- 1-2 tsp olive oil
- Juice of 1 small lemon
- 1 can black beans
- 1 piece of roasted red pepper from jar
- chopped fresh parsley

Directions
1. Mince the clove of garlic in your food processor.
2. Put all the wet ingredients (tahini, olive oil, and lemon juice) in the food processor before adding the can of beans (the wet ingredients allow the food processor to get the ingredients going). Chop/grind until smooth.
3. Chop the roasted pepper into little chunks and throw it in the food processor. Process until smooth and well-incorporated.
4. Spoon onto plate and sprinkle chopped parsley on top. Serve with warm pita or tortilla. Enjoy!

**note** You can add salt to this while processing if you like, but I'm not a big fan of salty foods so it's really your call
