Have Skeletons In Your Closet?.... Whisper Them.

Have a secret? Need to vent? Then the Whisper app is for you. I'm pretty much known to jump on band wagons late- never at the wheel or first in line. This app has been around for 2 years and only graced my iPhone since last week...I can't put it down. You can say I'm sorta obsessed. 

I don't know what I love more. The fact that it's completely anonymous or the absolutely ridiculous funny whispers I read. It could be that it is a bit therapeutic. I've posted whispers that I would never say out loud and it makes me feel good. It's like drunk dialing without all of the consequences. 

Here's how it works: You download the app to your phone. Write a secret. Press next. The app will then try to find a picture that corresponds with your whisper. If the pic they choose is not right, simply press the search button at the bottom to swipe for more photos or type in what you want in the search. You can also upload your own photo! Once you found your splendid image tap the image. Now you can play with the word placement by moving the words around with your finger or change the type by tapping on the Aa button at the bottom. Once perfected, tap post. 

There you have it. Your first whisper. People can heart it or reply... super fun. The app also gives you your own screen name which is usually pretty funny. 

There are a couple of problems I have with the app. First, and I think this is just because I'm married, there is a chat section. Every time I post a whisper, some horny douchebag sends me a chat. It's annoying but I ignore them and wait for the hearts and replies to roll in. 

Second, this app has a demographic age group between 18-24. Being over 30, myself, some of the whispers I read are pretty juvenile. However, you can take it all with a grain of salt. Have fun and read what you want. You can even see whispers in your area- which is a total blast. 



There's a lot more too the app than what I'm talking about in this post. Play around with it, find what fits for you and whisper all of your dirty little thoughts and secrets... 

Here are some of my favorite whispers:

The Best Cookies You Will EVER Have With The Least Amount Of Guilt!

 I call these cookies: The Game Changer 

A delicious blend of chocolate chips, coconut oil, whole wheat flour, coconut sugar and more... 

Oh my DEAR GOD... I think I just invented the best damn cookie on the planet. Okay... Maybe I over exaggerated a tad here, but not by much. Bake my fellow readers and you shall reap the benefits and spoils of this magnificent recipe. 

Backstory: I love to bake. Actually, I have had people chase me around asking for recipes- my secret recipes- for years. I'm pretty good at it. I am also somewhat of a health-nut. I have had great success baking healthy treats in the past and the thought of baking healthy chocolate chip cookies seemed like a challenge I wanted to conquer. 

Today I won. My two and a half year old daughter gobbled them up and was none the wiser. They have a great flavor with an ever-so-slight hint of coconut. No butter. No white sugar. All flavor! 

And now I give you: The Game Changer

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats 
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup unrefined virgin coconut oil
3/4 cup coconut sugar
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla 
12 oz. chocolate chips

Directions:
*Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. 
*In a medium bowl combine- flour, oats, baking soda and salt. 
*In a large bowl or kitchen-aid add- coconut oil and sugar. Mix for 3 minutes or so until well combined. Beat in eggs- one at a time. Add vanilla. 
*On low speed add flour mixture a little at a time- scraping sides if necessary. Blend well. Add chocolate chips (or any other thing you want). 

*Spoon onto a baking sheet and place 2 inches apart. 
*Bake for 7 minutes. (Baking times may vary. I live in Hawaii and the humidity affects my baking times). If you are not sure, set your timer for 5 minutes and check. The edges should be brown and the middle a bit gooey. 
*After baking, place each one on a cooling rack and enjoy! 

Let me know how they turned out and if you made any adjustments. I'm going to say this in advance:You are welcome.

The Funny... The Bizarre... And The Downright Must Check Out Gift Ideas Under 20 Bucks

Well, here we are again. In a flash, another year has almost pasted before our eyes and it's that time again. Yup, only 17 days until the chaos of this holiday season is over.

Soon Christmas Day will be upon us. The day where tons of wrapping paper gets stuffed into garbage bags, dysfunctional family fun begins, a holiday meal that will leave you bloated while simultaneously wishing you didn't eat that extra piece of holiday pie and drinking.. lots of drinking.... lots and lots of drinking. Am I right?

To breakup the craziness of this time of year, I have so generously compiled a list of some fantastically humorous gifts for the ones you love, because nothing says, "I love you" quite like the list below!

I have included a link to where you can purchase these beauties... and no... none of these companies have hired me to promote their products.... This is a pro bono list from me to you!

1. Because cooking fresh bacon just isn't convenient. So give them the gift of bacon candy- Where's the egg candy to go with this?

5. My personal favorite. I actually want a pair for myself to slowly crawl into bed with my husband all sexy... lights off... 

Okay... well, unfortunately these are not available... but they should be! 

6. Mmmmmmm the toilet mug. Nothing says, "Good Morning" quite like drinking straight from a toilet.

7. I have a lovely twisted sense of humor. This will be in my shower.

8. The stocking stuffer to beat all stocking stuffers... besides the Unicorn meat above, of course.

9. Yes my friends, you have read this correctly. However, be forewarned... buying this for your hubby or significant other will result in longer showers and greater water bills.

10. Last but certainly not least! The lamp from A Christmas Story. I watch that movie every year around this time. For those of you who are diehard fans, like myself, throw this in to a stocking and watch the reaction!
