"I love MAC products. I wear a lot of their makeup. They have great eye shadows and eye shimmers. I really like the pink MAC Lip Glass in Steppin’ Out. It's a shimmery light pink, and it smells like vanilla!" —Livvi Franc

If you like healthy versions of really-bad-for-you dishes... Hungry-Girl.com is awesome! I love the Shirataki Noodles (a Hungry Girl staple) — it's a bag of noodles at only 40 calories! Ahhh...

In case you didn't know, Livvi writes just about all of her songs. She even co-wrote "Walking On Snow" for Jordin Sparks' latest album! "I take a lot of pride in my songwriting," Livvi admits to LivviFranc.com. "I write from personal experience; it's something that comes from deep inside of me. I want people to know that when I write a song, it’s something special. It comes from my heart."
In case you haven't noticed, Livvi kinda LOVES American Apparel. But can ya blame her? It's affordable, high quality and pretty much anyone can rock the styles. We recently spoke with Liv to get to the bottom of her obsession, and our girl was more than willing to dish!
Why so obsessed with American Apparel?
I love it because the clothes are very simple. You can get anything you want and put it all together to make a hot outfit. It's inexpensive, but it always looks great.
Do you have a favorite item?
Their mini dresses!!! I love those. Also, my dancers wear their little mesh leotards. Their stuff is great for performances.
Do you have any fashion tips for peeps who want to check out the store?
Yeah, they just have so many styles and colors, so you can really mix and match. Be individual with it. Layering pieces is the best way to do it.
To score Livvi's look above, check out American Apparel's Double U-Neck Mini Dress. At only $38, go on and pick one up in every color! ♥
Can I say MEGA yum yum factor!!! This is a Bajan classic... an exotic twist to a traditional mac 'n' cheese. I learned this recipe by observing my Barbadian family in the kitchen and picked up on it pretty fast. It's a sort of a "measure by eye" recipe but I'll try and narrow it down for you... just taste as you go along and it'll be tha shizzle!!

1 pack macaroni pasta
3-4 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 cup evaporated milk
2 tbsp kechup
