My New Favorite Cocktail

Last Friday, I hosted my friend Stacey's bachelorette party. The signature cocktail of the night was an Italian Greyhound with rosemary sugar on the rim... It. Was. Bomb. Although I couldn't find Aperol at the last minute, so that was one thing that was missing. I also used Trader Joe's pink grapefruit juice instead of doing fresh-squeezed (cuz let's face it; you gotta take a shortcut every now and then). The rosemary sugar was the drink's crowning glory. I highly recommend this drank!

Typical Day vs. Dream Day

Via Our City Lights, I discovered that Real Simple Magazine has a fun little blog community called simply stated. The diy charts above were a hoot to make. I wish I didn't love sleep as much as I do, otherwise I'd probably get a lot more done in my day. The rest of my "typical day," I'm pretty much online. Sigh. What an exciting life I live.

Love to Mull

Yesterday I had sooo much mulled wine. First my room-mate made some, then my boyfriend made a pot. It is the best snowy cold weather drink; warm, spicy, and ALCOHOLIC! :)

Try this easy recipe here.

Mother of Pearl!

Do you know what this is?

It's a bourbon chocolate milkshake.

Reason no. 435 I will NEVER give up dairy. 

Or alcohol. 

Unless I'm pregnant. 

Which I'm not.
