My friends, welcome back to my channel and a very special welcome if you're new here. My name is Jen, I'm a certified weight loss and nutrition coach and I'm on WW personal points. Happy Monday, it is a Monday, so it is meal prep day. I have three really good recipes for you. They are all extremely high in protein, really healthy whole food, but we're getting some sweet treats, a really good breakfast and a lunch. So if you're excited, don't forget to give this video a thumbs up. Make sure you're subscribed and your bell notification is turned on because we do a meal prep every Monday and I upload five videos a week. Make sure you're checking out the description box down below for nutrition coaching. I offer personalized to you macros and calories. I cannot stress enough how important it is to know this information so you can be successful in weight loss and one-on-one coaching if you would like to chat with me directly. Links, discounts to all my favorite things, my recipe website where you'll find today's recipes and all of my recipes as well as my Facebook group. We would love to have you come join us over there are all down in that description box. So we have three amazing recipes to do packed with protein. So let's jump in. For breakfast this week, I am making chocolate chia protein pudding. I have been craving chia pudding and this is a great way to not only get in all the healthy fats of chia seeds, but lots and lots and lots of protein. So let me show you what's in our recipe. First you're going to need some protein powder. We're doing a chocolate protein pudding. So chocolate powder would be ideal. My recommendation for you would be to use the devotion brownie batter. That is the best for this recipe. However, I'm trying to use that my integrated nutrition and then I will be purchasing the devotion brownie batter, but I would recommend that. You can use any chocolate protein powder you have on hand. I will link devotion nutrition down below for you with 10% off. You'll need some milk. I'm using fair life milk because it has 13 grams of protein in one cup. Now you can use almond milk, but almond milk doesn't have any protein. So for me, it's all about adding as much protein as I can to my meals. So I always opt for fair life. I am going to add some of the Lakonto granulated monk fruit sweetener just to add a little bit of extra sweetness. This particular protein powder isn't that sweet. So for me, I want to add a little bit of sweetener. Now if you go with the devotion, it's probably sweet enough. You'll just have to play around with it and decide what works best for you. You'll need some chia seeds, of course. Mason jars, these are the perfect size for this recipe. I bought mine off of Amazon, so I'll link them down below for you. Vanilla extract and some cocoa powder. Oh, and I'll put Lakonto in the description box as well with 15% off. So let's make some chocolate chia pudding. So to make our chia protein pudding, it is actually super, super easy. I am going to add one half of a cup of fair life milk to the bottom of a jar. This particular protein powder, two scoops is a serving, but I'm going to do one scoop per jar, one eighth of a cup of chia seeds. So this is a quarter cup. So we're going to do half of that, about a half a teaspoon of vanilla extract, about a half a tablespoon of cocoa powder. And then I'm going to do one tablespoon of my Lakonto monk fruit sweetener. So here is what it looks like before we mix it all together. I'm going to pop my lid on and give it a good shake. You can also whisk it together, but this generally works to get everything combined. And then our chia pudding goes in the fridge for about two to three hours until it's set. The chia seeds become gelatinous with liquid, so it's going to be a nice, thick, protein-packed pudding. Let's go ahead and make up a few more for the week. So here is our chocolate protein chia pudding. I went ahead and made up three jars. That way I can enjoy them for about three days this next week, and I'll have something else for breakfast the other days. That way I don't get tired of the same breakfast every day. But this is just such a great way to get in lots of protein, healthy fat. I will go ahead and put points, calories, and grams of protein here on the screen for you. And remember, it is going to change depending on the ingredients that you use, whether you use fair life milk, almond milk, what protein powder you use. But this is a great way to start off your day. So I also want to mention one more thing about the pudding. You can top this with whatever you want. So some recommendations would be sliced up banana. You could do chocolate chips. You can add peanut butter. So my plan is to put about a tablespoon of the American Dream nut butter in here, because I love American Dream nut butter, and that just gives it more protein, more healthy fats. You could top it with your favorite fruit is endless. What you can add to your chocolate protein chia pudding. I also will link American Dream nut butter for you with 10% off. Definitely excited to change up the toppings on this throughout the week. For lunch today, I am making blackened shrimp meal prep. We're going to pair this with a healthy carb, as well as some veggies. I'm really excited for this. It has been a while since I've had shrimp or any type of seafood and meal prep. So let me show you what's in our recipe. You'll need some oil of your choice for the veggies. I'm using avocado oil, salt, and pepper. These are my favorite gravity-fed salt and pepper grinders from Amazon. They're affordable, I'll link them for you. So many of you have purchased them and are loving them as much as I do. You'll also need some salsa. I'm going to roast in my oven some green beans. That's going to be my veggie. Some fresh cilantro, a healthy carb. So the original recipe calls for brown rice, but I'm going to do this quinoa with sea salt. This is from the brand Ancient Harvest. I'm going to pop this in my microwave. It's 90 seconds and it's done. So it's super easy and convenient. And quinoa is such a great, complex superfood carb. So that's going to be a nice addition to the meal prep. You'll also need some shrimp and a fresh lime.  I'm going to pop them in a bowl so we can season them and then slice up some fresh cilantro. So I went ahead and sliced up my green beans. They were actually going bad. I picked these up a couple of weeks ago and wanted to use them before they went away. So I did slice up all of the ones that were salvageable in the bag. So I am going to put in about a tablespoon of oil and then we're testing out this green goddess seasoning. A lot of you reached out in the comment section of my grocery haul and said that it's really good. So I'm super excited. And then I'm going to add salt and pepper and mix it all together. And then put them out on this quarter sheet pan. I have my oven preheating to about 425 degrees and I'm going to go ahead and throw in the green beans. So I removed the tails from my shrimp. I just threw them in the same bowl that the green beans were in. And now we're going to season them up starting with salt and pepper. And then I'm going to add in some cumin, onion powder, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. You can also add in some chili powder if you want that more blackened vibe where it's a little bit more spicy. I just decided not to do that because you guys know I don't really love spice. So I'm going to, again, just like I did with the green beans, mix this up and get the shrimp coated. I have a skillet heating up over medium heat. We're going to add in our shrimp. Shrimp cooks really quickly. So we're going to allow this to cook completely through. Look at how delicious this shrimp looks. It smells incredible. I am going to under cook them just a little bit because I am going to warm them up during the week for my meal prep. And I don't want them to get overcooked because they get kind of rubbery. So we're going to go ahead and take them off of the heat and start assembling the meal prep. So I just took the quinoa out of the microwave. That was the easiest quinoa I've ever made. I did actually get these from Imperfect Foods. I don't know if they sell these in regular grocery stores. But another thing I wanted to point out is this has 15 grams of protein, which is amazing. So you could use regular quinoa. You could use white rice, brown rice, cauliflower rice, whatever you would like. I will link Imperfect Foods down below for you guys as well with a discount on your first order. So I'm going to just kind of mix that quinoa, get it separated a little bit. It smells really good. It's quinoa with sea salt. And then I'm going to add in the little bit of chopped cilantro. And then I'm going to go ahead and squeeze in a fresh lime. And then mix that all together. Now you have cilantro lime, quinoa, or again, whatever rice or rice alternative you decide to use. This looks and smells incredible. So the green beans are just about done roasting. So I went ahead and pulled out four of my little two ounce portion cups. Again, off of Amazon, I'll link them for you.  And I don't know about you, but I'm not the biggest fan of warm salsa. So I'm going to set the little containers in my meal prep container. And then once I warm it up each day, I can add my salsa right on top. I'm using my two compartment meal prep containers. These are the ones that I share all the time. Also off of Amazon, you can see that I shop on Amazon a lot. So I'll put these down below for you as well. First thing I'm going to do is add in my shrimp. Now it makes four servings total. So my recommendation would be to count your shrimp, divide the number of shrimp that you have by four. It's about seven shrimp per meal prep container. And then you're going to divide your rice by four as well. I'm going to finish my shrimp and quinoa in each of my meal prep containers. And then we'll add in our green beans and our salsa. The green beans look so delicious. So I'm just going to divide those up into the small compartment of each of the four meal preps. My gosh, these look so delicious. Look at that. With the shrimp, the quinoa, the green beans, last step is to put in our little container of salsa. So I'm just going to add that in to the compartment with the green beans. And like I said, we'll pull it out before we actually warm it up each day. So we have a nice cold salsa. You could also add guacamole, fresh avocado, sour cream. I mean, you could also add a sauce to your shrimp if you wanted, whether that be cocktail sauce or tartar sauce or whatever you prefer. I'm really excited about this. It is a perfect protein packed, healthy fat lunch. I mean, this is the trifecta for lunch. We have a nice lean, low calorie, low point protein, quinoa, which is a super food. This also has a ton of protein, healthy fats. We have a veggie with some added healthy fat of the oil and then some extra veggies with the salsa. So I'll go ahead and put points, calories and protein grams here on the screen for you. For a sweet treat this week, I am making peanut butter protein cookies. I'm really, really excited to have these as well this week. It's going to be a perfect sweet treat that's packed with protein just the way I like it. So let me show you what's in the recipe. First, you're going to need salt and vanilla extract. You'll need any protein powder of your choice. I'm going to use my ghost chips ahoy. Actually, if you have the ghost nutter butter, that would be amazing in this recipe because it would add some extra peanut butter flavor, but this one is really, really good for baking. I will link the ghost down below for you. And again, this is the chips ahoy. You'll need some unsweetened coconut flakes. You'll also need quick cook oats. The only quick cook oats I have are steel cut, so we're going to use those. Some honey, some PB2, unsweetened applesauce and cocoa powder. So the first thing we're going to do is put the peanut butter mixture into a saucepan. So I have half of a cup of powdered peanut butter and then I'm going to add water to make peanut butter consistency. So I'm going to do about a quarter cup of water, one quarter cup unsweetened applesauce, one quarter cup honey, and just a little bit of salt and we're going to get this on the stove top. We're going to put our saucepan over medium heat and stir until everything is melted and well combined. Now we're going to add in vanilla extract, two tablespoons of cocoa powder and a scoop of our ghost chips ahoy protein powder and mix that all together. Then we're adding in one cup of our quick cook oats and give it another stir.  Last but not least, one quarter cup of unsweetened coconut. Give that mixture one more stir before we're ready to form it into our cookies. Look at how delicious this looks. It smells like a no-bake cookie. Line a baking sheet with some parchment paper and then I'm using a cookie scoop. It's about a tablespoon. We want one tablespoon or so of the mixture per cookie and we're going to just drop that onto the baking sheet. I'm going to take the back of the spoon and just press them down just a little bit so that it's more of a cookie shape. Remember how I said these smell like a no-bake cookie? That's basically what we've made, just packed with protein. So I'm going to throw these in the refrigerator. You wanna let them set until they've hardened just like a no-bake cookie. One hour later. So I just pulled the protein peanut butter cookies out of the freezer. They are all set. They do look just like a no-bake cookie.  I ended up with 14. Your points are going to vary based on the number of cookies that you end up with and of course whatever protein powder you use but I will go ahead and put my points, calories and protein here on the screen for you.

The addition of plastic strips and leaf ashes to three different soils resulted in improvements in the soil's maximum dry density, optimum moisture content, soaked California bearing ratio, shear strength parameters, plastic index, and Adderberg limits. The best results were obtained when 2% plastic strips and 6% leaf ashes were added to the soils. This article was authored by Vasudevan Yathushan and Yudini Nanapriya Anaratapaswala.


Dr. Jared Riddick leads the Army's vehicle technology research efforts at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. The Army recently stood up the Army Futures Command, and with that, the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command's Army Research Laboratory, known as ARL, has undergone transition. ARL's Vehicle Technology Directorate, or VTD, delivers technology solutions for ground, air, robotics, autonomy, propulsion systems, and more. To borrow a phrase, the state of VTD is good. We are well positioned within key objective and technology areas for the Army, and the future is very bright. ARL's open campus extended sites play a key role in helping to move the research forward. Well, it's a fundamental change to a lot of folks in the laboratory and how we do business. No longer can we think about what we do simply in terms of one community. I think now we have multiple communities that we have to engage. I'm seeing more and more than I've ever seen in my career subject matter experts engaging with senior levels of military leadership in a way that I haven't seen before. Riddick is optimistic about the future of VTD and its people. I am so impressed by the people of VTD, and it's not just a slogan when I say that VTD is great people doing great work to support the future warfighter. There are so many examples of people in this directory who are doing the work that will make possible this battlefield of the future that senior leaders imagine when they talk about robots on the battlefield and having autonomy and AI on the battlefield. As a leader, I think it's my job to set the conditions and provide the environment for these people to be able to deliver the outcomes for the warfighter of the future. As we build those academic partnerships between the lab and folks in those regions, we know as I stated before that the laboratory has long-term objectives 2035 and beyond, but I also want to engage industry partners very aggressively. And when we do that, we know that industry partners have a shorter timeline when they think about return on investment, and in the past it's been somewhat difficult to get our long-term objectives to mesh with the balance sheet of industry partners. By having the regional sites and areas where we can engage in research shoulder to shoulder with industry partners and academic partners, as we work on those long-term objectives, exceptional pieces of technology that come out of those partnerships can be spun out into the hands of an industry partner very quickly. And this really gets at the Army Futures Command goal of moving technology from discovery to actually the hands of a warfighter even faster. The Directorate recently established a relationship with Uber. Uber and ARL VTD are working jointly with an ARL South partner at University of Texas at Austin. And we're working on specific technology for vertical lift that will allow us to have silent operation. Quiet rotor technology that is built around for the urban air mobility market giving them quiet operation in urban settings, but we've envisioned for the future of UAS that this type of capability will give us quiet operation in the battle space which could give tactical advantage for the soldier. Two of the Army's modernization priorities depend upon vehicle technology, future vertical lift and next generation combat vehicles. It sets the stage for an organization like VTD to have significant impact. I'm very optimistic based on the technology focus areas that we are working in, the different essential research programs of ARL that VTD touches and the ones that we read, and based on our core program, based on our talent, based on our reach through ARL regional campuses, that we are well positioned to take advantage of the moment.


So what's it? Let me know if you can or cannot hear me. So I can fix it. In the meantime, I'm going to find the stream on my this. Oh, there I am. Wheat and volume down. Miss Mam, I'm going live early because I thought you were taking a nap. You don't look very nappy. She's not very nappy, you guys. She in fact is fully awake. So I may have to stop in moments and find out what she's doing slash stop her from doing. Well, she lives right there. So, um, you guys remember last Tuesday I did the letting the box decide colors. I don't think that piece is that great, but I love the idea. So we're going to do that again right now. She has a live stream radar. You know, I wouldn't be surprised. So, um, if you don't know, you weren't here last week. The boxes are by Sarah Renee Clark. And they're amazing. There are two volumes, this box one and box two box one we did last week. So we're going to do volume one or box one is this week. I'm trying to hurry because I went ahead and mixed my Rosine. Okay. So I'm just going to take this instruction card and pick a spot, go in, go in. Well, didn't want to go in. That's fine. Ooh, kind of wish I grabbed a turtle to paint since our palette is aquatic. So there's a dark blue, a light blue, a Bondi blue, a steel blue and a dark blue. So I think I'm going to do all these colors equally. Dainty, Dewar, Bonnie, Karen, Rachel, Sherry, Rick, the Raysa, I hope I said that right. I'm horrible. They say Rick. What's up, Rick? I hope all of you had an amazing day so far. Oh my goodness. What is she doing? Canvas, why is she getting behind there? What does she need to do behind the canvases? Y'all, it's been a minute since I've had a puppy. Canvas, Miss Ma'am, come on here. Come on, come here. Come on, thank you. You did so good. Is that your treat? So lay down. Thank you ma'am. Mud Pie Girl too. I could, I can say that. Hello, Amanda. So, yeah, we got to make some colors. I'm going to go ahead and pour out my this. How many colors that? One, two, three, four, five, one, two, three, four, five, one, two, three, four, five, six. Well, I'll put some white in there too because I feel like, why not? And some left in the cup for emergency purposes. Do you guys have any suggestions of what color you want me to use for any of those? I'm going to put the cards back up. I think midnight blue. I think I actually have just resin bond eye paste over here. Did I lie? I didn't lie. There it is. It's actually maybe blue lagoon. That does not work. Okay, so essentially it's all of the blues ever made. So let's see. Dark turquoise. Ultramarine blue would probably work. Here's the midnight. Let's see what we got. This is dark blue on here twice. I wonder if that's a typo. I guess we're going to do two different dark blues. So this will be first dark blue. And then the ultramarine will be the last dark blue. I have a little bit of powder blue left. And so I may use that for the light blue. Hi, B. Well, I have a sky blue. And now I need a steel and a white. Steel and a white. Let's do glacier for the light. I need a steel blue. Hi, B. We're doing dragonfly today. I need a steel blue. We have some titanium. I'm like, perplexed with that one. Actually, I think I may use, okay, so if this is a dark blue and this is a dark blue, then this one can be the Bondi color. This one will be the light. I think I'm going to use this new color for the Bondi, actually. If I had any steel blue, I would use it. Yep, it is Tuesday. I only picked it one time. I did. B, if I picked it on purpose, I put it on a turtle. I'm going to put it on dragonfly. So we're going to use cerulean blue for the steel blue. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Joe Lynn, what's that? If someone could beam me up to you, I would be thrilled to see you soon. You just let me know. You've got my number. No stress, no worries. Yes, canvas is a little chatterbox right now because she can't get to her dad. You're about to pour countertops in those blues, silver using crinkly iridescent cellophane. That is amazing. Then doing the Larimar. Oh, Sherry, can't wait to see what that looks like. The color palette will go great in your little house. Oh my goodness. Everyone loves the palette, which is emerging. Okay. So this is a new color. It's called Lorraine. There's extra letters in there. So I think that's how you pronounce it, but it looks like it's a steely silvery blue. And I'm all about blues. So I'm not mad at this palette at all. Can you guys see what that one looks like? Jen, what's up? What is that cool box thing? So G-U-D got me the fair Clark. Is that right? I think so. Color boxes. And so on Tuesdays, my new segment on Tuesdays is gonna be I'm letting the box choose the colors and then that's what happened. And then the box chose this. So that's what I'm doing. Last week, not my favorite palette, not my favorite piece. This is pretty. It reminds me of the old sky blue from Artisoo. Who of you guys remembers Artisoo? This is a shimmer. So it has a little bit of shine to it. And it is opaque. Beautiful color. Beautiful. Okay. What's up, Atmack? How you doing? How you been? How you mom and him? Lisa, how are you? It has been a minute. What's shaking? So this is glacier ice.  But this is a dry paste. I have a video that explains paste first dry paste and all that. If you want to know the difference, just check that out. This is actually pretty similar to our first color, but with a little bit of a green hue to it. I will get this thing all the way messy if I don't move it now. Okay. Then a cerulean blue from Just Resin. You're getting over the crud, I'm sorry. I think I only want a little bit of this color. So I'm gonna just do that. Should I go ocean with this? Or be more like just artistic with it? What do you guys think? It's gonna be difficult to do an ocean on just coming out a little bit translucent, but I don't wanna add any more pigment to it. I'm okay with working in a translucent color. It would be difficult to do an ocean kinda, but I'm up for the challenge if that's what you guys are looking for. But what do you guys think, artistic or oceanic? Got one artistic vote so far. So this one is ultramarine blue. It is a flat, opaque color. Well, no, it's translucent. It's not really, it's not transparent. You can't see all the way through it, but it will never be opaque. Artistic, artistic, artistic, just go for it. Cool, that's what we're gonna do. Are you guys tired of oceans? I will never be tired of oceans. You can just barely, well I guess you guys can't see because the light is on your side and not my side, but I'm sorry, Lisa, hugs to you. Yeah, the translucent cobalt is nice. So I'm now gonna use the limited edition Midnight, but IRL, they just redid it to be, I think it's called Dark Storm now. It looks very dark, almost black, but with like a greeny hue to it. But it's actually a really super nice color. Just wait till you see it. I agree, Rachael, an ocean would be odd on this shape. What's up, Tim? Agreed, Bonnie? Love you too, Lisa. Give your dad hugs for us. You can kinda see what color this is on the star stick when I scrape it away. I love it, I love it. Love this color. Right. Oh yeah, I need a little bit of white. So I'm just gonna pour my resin into the this and mix up it in there because it would take forever to just try to scoop it all out. I always do this when my paste get onto the last leg. Slash my Nutella is almost gone. Hungry girl pro tip, just put milk in your Nutella and make yourself chocolate milk or a hot chocolate with Nutella when it's getting low. Sweet. All right. Why am I nervous? I shouldn't be nervous, it's fine, I'm not nervous. I'm gonna put a little bit into this little bit to make it this bit translucent. Translucent white always brings out a little something different in a piece. Not that translucent, but that's fine. Okay, here we go. I can be artistic. So I'm just going to, I'm gonna leave that alone. I'm gonna start with the celestial sky. This is a very platinum blue. If you wanna work with silvers, this is a great color for that because it's cool toned. After I did that, I thought maybe I wanna do it like a wing, but too late now. I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but a lot of times I'll put my color down and then I'll see what the resin wants to do and then that's the way we'll go with it. So, do some ultramarine on both sides of that. Whoops. And translucent cobalt, let's just fill in over here. I'm gonna try to make this a not very busy pour. So I'm adding color in very thick lines. I say that as I pour a thin line of cobalt. It'll be fine, it'll work. Ooh, now the new color, Lorraine. This one is a cooler tone that would work with silver really well, but you could also bring out warm tones in this particular color if you wanted to use a gold with it. And then storm or the limited edition, midnight. I'm glad they kept that color because it's actually a really super pretty color. And some white, not gonna work, it's fine. I'll force you to come out of there. Let's do translucent because it's easier. With this, I'm just basically filling in whatever gaps I have. I know it doesn't look amazing right now, but just give me a minute, hear me out. It's gonna be amazing. Oh no, I don't think I have any pickups today. Okay, so now I'm going to just fill in the gaps. Bowie is yelling at whoever rang the doorbell. He's offended. I tend to use my finger to fill in these gaps, but if you prefer to use a spatula or, aren't those made of silicone? I think they are. You can use a silicone spatula, you can or a swiping paper. I feel like I have more control if I do it this way though. Let's heat it and see what we want to do with it. First and foremost, I need to turn everything so that you guys aren't getting cut out of part of it. What I'm doing, how am I gonna do this? Okay, I'm gonna do. So if you don't know, you can get all these colors from my shop, artistallette.com. And I just got four cases of just resin in that I will be putting into inventory as soon as I get off the live. Okay, let's push it a little bit with the heat gun. Ooh, those colors look really nice over each other. I'm gonna do that this way too. I'm using a concentrator nozzle to get the resin to flow how I want it to. But you don't have to use a concentrator nozzle. If you are interested in one though, I have them on my site, artistallette.com. I'm gonna do some smaller swipes as well. So the Lorraine is a base cell. So I should get cells when I swipe a color over that color. And so I will be doing that in a moment. Oh, it's great. Those are awesome colors, compressor airbrush. A portable compressor airbrush. Why does that sound gimmicky? Oh look. Ooh, these colors look great swiped over each other. I'm just gonna swipe right down through here.  I'm gonna turn this spotlight around. No worries, Paula. Actually, any interaction with my videos, whether it's a thumbs up, thumbs down, comment, all is good for the channel. Maybe that's better. Bea, I may need you to come over here and nevermind. I really like what this looks like, but okay. So to do that, I'm gonna have to, cool. You just stay right there on the floor. That looks really good, okay. So I'm gonna bring you guys down in just a moment. Actually, I can go ahead and dim you in since I changed the angle. Thank you, Clara. What's up, Kathy? That looks fun. I'm not a fan of that part, but I'm not gonna worry about it right now. Let's do, I'm gonna pick up some of that storm color just off of here because when you swipe, whatever color is on your swiping paper will be the color that's represented on your swipe. So I can take all of this silvery blue that we just picked up and transfer it down here. Then actually, well, I guess on the next one, I'll swipe right here to kind of dull out some of this white. Bea, when you get a second, will you do a flyover? Yeah, I'll do it right now. Canvas? Dad's gone, I'm gonna wreak havoc. When Bowie gets over it, he'll put her in her place. I just hope that everybody's okay with the fact that there's puppy barking in the background on the video. And thank you for the flyover. I want more of that color. I'll just pick it up from what fell off right there. It'll be yummy. I'm gonna pull that over to here as well. I need you guys to see what I just did, but up close and Jeff's already gone, so. Look how yummy these two colors are together. That's Lorraine and Storm. Lorraine. I think I like these stark white lines in there. What do you guys think? Not sure yet, Clara. We're still trying to figure out when and what and when for everything. Ooh, I'm gonna do some, I love what this looks like. Okay, oh, okay, okay, wait. I'm gonna do this one last thing and I'm gonna bring you guys down to show you what everything looks like. And then we're gonna do some smush coasters because I think these colors will look super fun. How fun is that? I love it. I love that. I have so many favorite parts of this piece. I think I'm gonna let it live from here because I love it and I'm gonna use the rest of the resin on some smush coasters. I'm just gonna heat it up with a little bit more heat and I'm gonna take it to the dust-free zone and try to dodge puppies on the way. Wish me luck. Okay, drippies. I need you to cooperate and not ruin my hardwoods. Peesh, peesh. Okay, let's go. One drip down. Hey, canvas, watch your toes. I don't see where I dropped a drop, but worry about it later. All right, so you guys don't know, I don't waste resin. And when I have a leftover like this, I create coasters. And then when we do sales or art shows, we have $5 makes and match coasters that essentially pay for our entire booth fee for our shows. And so we always recommend people make coasters with their leftovers. Like this one, it's so simple. I just smushed it into the leftovers, put some heat on it and see what we got. It's like a modified chevron. All right, I think I'll have enough for two coasters, maybe three. And when you do a smush, I can't say that it doesn't matter where you put your individual colors of resin because if you're trying to create something that looks like something in particular, then it does matter. But for me, when I do my smushes, it's just whatever color ends up where it is is where it lives and totally fine wherever that ends up being. I'm so excited that I did a successful let the box choose because last week, I was very disheartened. I'm just gonna smush and make sure that the resin comes out on all the corners. I'll give you a bit into an ice cream sandwich. It's gonna be kind of short on this corner, but it's fine. All right, I'm gonna do quarter turn for good measure and try to pop it. That was a difficult pop, but we got it. Since I didn't base paint this, you can kind of see where I got thin on this edge. So I'm just gonna fill it in with other runoff. Let's hit with some heat and see if we love it. Coaster's a plenty, right? That's a nice one. So I decide to edge up the corner on this one too. It's like an angry ocean. I think I have enough to do one or two more. This is a coaster. Well, yes it is. The coaster to smush on top of this one, I'm gonna have to go get one. I'm just gonna leave you here like this and go get one more coaster. All the pups are quiet and it makes me nervous. There's one. You got them both cool, cool, cool. You're both laying under their daddy's feet and I love it. I'm trying to make this some more white negative space, but I don't think that's gonna happen, but that's okay. So put some more Lorraine out. It's amazing what you can do with leftovers. I know a lot of people will do keychains or necklaces, some kind of jewelry. I don't have that talent, so you will not see that. Thank you Eclectic Palettes Studio to the website. So keep a lookout. And if you don't wanna keep a lookout, then just sign up for my newsletter where I only send you emails when I get new product in or have a sale. I thought about sending emails for the live feeds. Do you think that would be too many emails? Just a lot of people don't seem to get notifications. But what do you guys think? Sandy, how's it going? We're gonna be hanging out with Sandy soon. So excited. I was talking to Tudor and we were like, we should have just planned a class while we were gonna be in Colorado Springs, but it may not be the best time for people to get to Colorado Springs if it's still so noy. Also, if you don't know, these are our reusable, reusable stir sticks. You use them and you wipe them off with an alcohol rag and they're ready to go for the next time you need them. Thus, reducing waste, because popsicle sticks are great and all, but ultimately I still have some left that come with these like, Pixas cups. Did I say that right? Is it Pixas? It's okay, Bowie, hold on. It's probably not Pixas, but it's fine. It's gonna be a lot of white on these two, but that is okay. It may also get buried by all the color, who knows? That's one of my favorite things about a smush is that I guess like working with resin in general, you have a little bit of control over things. But ultimately, resin's gonna resin. TM, should I make that a shirt? I feel like I should make that a shirt. So that I don't get into a situation like last time, I'm gonna just fill in these voids. All right, so just so that I have something down. That's not a lot. That is gonna make almost no difference. So cool. A little translucent white, but that's not gonna make much difference either. Hi, Victoria. How are you doing? You're the best, Tim. You'll never turn down an ATD email. Oh my goodness, you guys make my heart happy. I always worry that I send too many emails and that people are gonna get over it and unsubscribe to my newsletter. All right, put the squeeze on it. I'm gonna further not waste and essentially dirty pour some of this squeeze out. Squeeze out, is that what we should call this? I don't know. Into a little ribbon there. Spin to win, oh, to win. Okay, I can't get this apart. One thing that I love about doing smushes, well, one thing. I like a lot of things about smushes, but something I particularly love about them is when they do this kind of veiny look. It kind of reminds me of, I guess, like leaves. So I'm gonna just set these here to cure if I can get them up. And I will give you guys a flyover of what these bad boys look like. Quite a mess, but we're making art. Are you guys messy artists or neat artists? I need to know. Jeff, my husband, neat artist. Myself, everything is everywhere always. Someone looks like an octopus tentacle, whatever messy dragon. Ooh, looks like someone just like cannonballed and all those like bubbles that are under water. Is that all of them? My goodness. Let's go check on the pups and the dragonfly. Boppo! Baby canvas right under her dad. And the pups. That's all of the inventory I'm gonna be doing in a minute. Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh. Okay. Coasters. I think he is settling in quite well. I love the look of like busy action next to calm. Calm action. Calm action. You know what I mean? Jelly beans. Rough day for canvas, whatever. You think they have enough toys? All right, you guys. I gotta go do inventory, but I appreciate you guys coming in and seeing what we're up to today. I hope you enjoyed it. We're entertained, educated, or was otherwise inspired to create something amazing. If you do, put it in our group, ATDs Poor People, so I can see it. And I'll be posting inventory emails as soon as I get all of it into the computer. Don't forget we have class coming up, March 18th and May 13th here in Dallas, Texas. When I send out discount codes, use that to get a discount on your seat for the class. And I will see you guys next time. Be kind to one another because you never know what someone's going through. So Bowie and Cumbiss don't have to, but you don't have to do any tests because we love you so much. He is holding all the way onto my arm and it melts my heart every time. All right, you guys. Can you do a galaxy piece? I've done a galaxy piece and I will do a galaxy for you. Tune in tomorrow because I don't have anything on calendar for tomorrow. Anyways, anyways. See you guys tomorrow at 6 p.m. Central. Get all these colors we use today and more from our website, artistle.com. I'll see you next time. Bye. Bye. Oh boy, do you say bye? Yeah. Canvas, probably.
