Holiday Craft: Homemade Bows!

These are so easy to make and look great on brown paper packages! All you need is a pair of scissors, the paper of your choosing, and a package of little metal brads to hold them together. Find the tutorial here.

These are so fun! Definitely making some using all the magazines we have laying around here. Awesome.

Hypnotini

Discovered this new delicious martini concoction at Houston’s newest restaurant Yard House. The perfect blend, serious hidden strength (careful!) and a smooth taste.  Here is the recipe. Promise you’ll like it…

What You’ll Need: Equal Parts of Ketel Citroen Vodka, Hypnotiq, Malibu Pineapple Rum and Pineapple Juice

What You’ll Do: Shake well with ice and strain into a martini glass.

Don’t you love it when take a chance on a brand new outfit, unsure if it looks cute or flattering, and as soon as you walk in the door you get a compliment like ‘wow, I love that dress’ or ‘your shoes are awesome where did you get them’. Groovy feeling.

Yummm, sweet potato latkes with ketchup and sour cream.

Fourth night of Hanukkah back in DC. I painted this menorah when I was like 7 years old. (mildly ghetto but it gets the job done!)

Don’t you love the Christmas decor in the background? Some serious religious diversity in this apartment…

I watched Clueless last night for the first time in so long. It’s mind-boggling to look back and realize how much completely went over my head as a kid. Watch it if you haven’t in a while and I promise you’ll pick up some seriously racy stuff you didn’t understand FIFTEEN years ago! Yeah, Clueless came out in 1995. Nuts.

My little sister Kylee and I made Christmas Tree and Reindeer Cake Pops today. Just like the ones my friends and I made for Halloween, they are absolutely adorable and so fun to make!
