My sister always asks, what is next Shalice, what should I be buying? Well, I’m noticing big bags and braided accessories and they don’t seem to be going anywhere. Do you remember those Gap braided belts? I owned one and loved wearing it with my bermuda shorts!
My mom has been making feijoada for as long as I can remember! She’s Portuguese with family in Macau and Porto, Portugal, so she has enjoyed the real thing for years. I personally love it with rice. It is my favorite comfort food. This recipe was originally made with sausage and or chicken. Since we didn’t have any yesterday, we enjoyed this nonetheless! I actually like this better than the sausage version. You decide, and let me know what you think!
1 Large sliced onions
3-4 Cloves of garlic
Bacon (for flavoring)
1 Small can, tomato paste
Chicken broth, 2 cubes
3 Cans garbanzo beans, drained
2 Cans kidney beans, drained
Fry in a large pot: onions, garlic, bacon. Slowly add beans and tomato paste and stir. Discard bacon. If you make it the day before, it tastes better. Serve on a bed of rice or a loaf of bread.
Enjoy!

They’re so named “Bermuda shorts” because of their popularity in Bermuda where they are considered appropriate business attire when made of suit like material and worn with knee-length socks and dress shirt, tie, and blazer. While I will not pair mine with knee-length socks, I love them styled with summer staples like tanks! They had a huge presence at Bottega Veneta to Givenchy, putting a new take on the classic suit. Which is your favorite look?

I was searching the internet for a MAYO FREE broccoli salad. . .
My dad hates mayonnaise after getting sick about 20 years ago. Honestly, after he told me how he got sick, I started to hate mayonnaise too. The story goes, he ate a fast food burger and apparently the mayonnaise they used was not fresh. He was sick for days after and hasn’t had mayo since. I’m pretty excited that my search for the BEST mayo-free broccoli salad has ended. This recipe is adapted from this site. Here’s to trying new things. Hope you enjoy!
Note: I tripled this recipe for 9 people.
1 pound of broccoli (I like it chopped as small as you can chop it)
1/2 cup (salted) sunflower seeds
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/3 cup dried cranberries (optional) I left this out, but it is a pretty pop of color!
For the dressing
1/3 cup avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
one medium clove of garlic minced
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Get two bowls out, one large bowl and one small one. In the large bowl, add sunflowers, chopped broccoli, onion, cheese and cranberries. In a smaller bowl, combine the dressing ingredients: oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic and salt. Whisk until the mixture is well blended. Pour the dressing over the salad and stir until all the broccoli is lightly covered in dressing. If you have any self-control, marinate 20 minutes or even overnight in the fridge.
5. Divide salad into individual bowls and serve. Leftovers will keep up to for 3 to 4 days in fridge, covered.
Cookie + kate suggests:
MAKE IT VEGAN: omit the cheese,
MAKE IT DAIRY FREE: omit the cheese, use maple syrup instead of honey
MAKE IT NUT FREE: use sunflower seeds instead of almonds
Let me know what you think? I think this will be a new favorite recipe in our house. Is it addictive? You betcha! The whole bowl was gone tonight! Bonus, it travels well if you need a yummy picnic food. Check out more of my recipes like blueberry muffins and puffed pancakes or search “foodie friday” on the blog.
Thanks for stopping by!

I don’t know about you but all this time at home has me a little short on inspiration. But white jeans are always a good idea, especially with summer at our doorstep, right? There is nothing like going back to the basics!
I met Sydne at an event in West Hollywood a couple years ago. I can’t even remember the one single event, but she was warm, easy to talk to and loved style! She and I quickly had a lot to talk about from her new condo renovation, to her pup, and working full time as a style blogger. One thing I love about Sydne is that she is so organized! As someone who definitely struggles in that department, it was inspiring to hear her ideas. Definitely check out her IGTV and blog! She posts weekly style videos, has a beautiful condo and came up with the brilliant idea of collaborating on a blog post about styling white jeans.

Hi! During this stay at home order I’ve become a skincare junkie. I love exfoliating with a peel, dry brushing for circulation, and leaving on the elemis rose balm during an episode of the middle. It feels good taking care of myself. After all, a little at-home-spa is more than needed after a day of MOMLIFE, amiright? One thing that has really helped my skin in addition to my weekly routine is celery juice. I read that it can clear acne, but wow it actually got rid of the pimples on my nose!

One thing is for sure, during this time of uncertainty, CBD has been helping me cope with stress and anxiety. I’ve been using Equilibria CBD since January and thought I needed it with 5 kids, a business etc. After this virus, I feel like I need it just as much if not more so. If you agree, read on, and if I don’t answer your question below, feel free to comment below or email me, shalice@shalicenoel.com. More information is on THIS BLOGPOST, so don’t miss it as I explain more of the science behind the CBD.
It’s a new site and I’m lost. What do you order?
I order the “Balance Box.” I get it monthly, can cancel at any time. Use code shalicenoel for 15% off!
If I take too much, will I get sleepy?
You will be matched with a dosage specialist who will help you determine what is your exact. I really enjoyed the phone call with my dosage specialist.
When did you start noticing benefits?
Right away! Some people are different so they say it can take up to 3 months to feel the full benefits. You should take it every day for optimum results.
I can’t do both, oils or gels?
Gels! They’re slow release and give me awesome sleep.
Do you take both, the drops and the gels?
Yes! I take a gel at breakfast, 1 full dropper at lunch, and 1 gel with dinner. The gels are slow release and the dropper is fast acting. You need both for great results.
What has been the biggest change since you’ve taken it?
Two things! Really good sleep and I don’t have the pit in my stomach anxiety I get occasionally.
What time do you take the gel, and how long does it last?
The soft gels absorb more slowly since they need to pass through the digestive system. But that means they also last longer in your system: between 5-12 hours.
Reid and I have been trying Margaritas! We usually have NO idea what to do when it comes to cocktails. I love an extra salty margarita on occasion and Reid likes his plain. I usually ask to lick his salt off. Through trail and error, we found a yummy recipe that works for us! Let me know, do you have a good receipe?
2 ounces of Tequila (any brand)
The juice of 4 tangerines, 2 limes, 2 lemons. Extra to line the rims of the glasses before salt.
4 fresh mint leaves
Ice
2 Tablespoons agave or honey
Kosher salt (Or chili salt) place in a plate and coat the rims.
4-6 Cucumber slices
Jalapenos (optional)
Mix and enjoy! My shop page is open 24/7, hope you have a nice time with family or a good book. We have a “social distancing” neighbor chat around the cul de sac. Its a fun way to get to know the neighbors. What are you up to?
