Hello Friday!

Happy Friday everyone!

I've felt very inspired the past couple days after reading THIS BLOG Holy cow..this blog is amazing!  Before reading her posts, click the link up top where it says "start here if you're new."

After reading through countless posts by this blogger, Kelle Hampton...a few things came to my mind:
 
1.  I want kids right now! (well in a few years!)
2.  I want to take more pictures (though I take about 500 everywhere I go!)
3.  I want to do everything possible before I die

Seriously people!...read some of her blog..it is absolutely AMAZING..your heart will melt and you will just get lost in her words. 

Her photography skills are excellent..she captures moments in photos that look as if you're looking at it happening at that second.  My photography skills...ehh...I try to be cute and capture loving moments between friends, sunsets over the water, and even snow..but I can't compare to her! Our favorite memories come from photos.  That's what I truly love..the fact that we can take a picture of something, and a year later look back and remember.  It's the best invention of life (besides internet..or I wouldn't be sharing this!)


I'll leave you guys with one of my photos that has me thinking!  I wish it was summer again so I could be frolicking on the beach like I was in this photo! This current 45 degree weather just isn't sitting well with me!  But I do love snow..I just don't love goosebumps! <3


I hope you all have an amazing weekend filled with lots of fun and laughter!

Thirsty Thursday!

So since I graduated college...am I allowed to still celebrate Thirsty Thursday!?  I think so!

Oh man..Thursday nights in college were almost like an extra weekend day.  Thursdays at my college usually went like this:

People went to class all morning, texting friends or roommates and telling them what shirt they were going to borrow that night. Then everyone went to the liquor store..

Wow..the liquor store on a Thursday..I stayed away between the hours of 3 pm and 7 pm..packed to the brim of people anxious to get their alcohol fix.  Writing this, I realize how pathetic us college kids must of looked to the regular joe's who just wanted a bottle of wine from the store to go with their dinner. Meanwhile, we're lugging cases of beer and trying to juggle different bottles as we trek to the car. After a fun night, we all got up for class, anxious to do it all over again the next 2 nights.  Boy do I miss just being able to relax and have fun with my friends!

I want to start a Thursday blog post trend (Thirsty Thursday) where I post up a delicious drink recipe that I've enjoyed! 

This one can be consumed in a classy way by putting it into a champagne flute! You can never go wrong with a cute glass filled with a cute pink cocktail.

Here's what ya need!
2/3 of a glass of Champagne

All you do is pour them together into a champagne flute and voila!  A bubbly burst of a yummy pink cocktail...and it's called Tickled Pink. What i like to do to spice it up a bit is to buy a bag of frozen berries (they come in a package in the freezer section with raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries) and throw them into the glass..it also works great with other cocktails. Their website has a bunch of cute recipes to use with the X-Rated Fusion if you click the bold link in my recipe!

What are your favorite cute drinks?

Cute ideas for a cute life

I'm such a sucker for cute little trinkets to add to my life, whether they be useful or not!

Since I graduated from college and got a big girl job, even though I've been working for only a month, I suddenly feel the need to buy something every time I go shopping!  This is how my brain works:

My brain- "I need to have that cute pink ice cream bowl.  30$?! Okay well I have a job so I'm getting paid so I think I deserve to buy this ice cream bowl."

Just because I have a job, my brain thinks I can suddenly afford anything and everything!  My job is entry level salary..which means I'm not making anywhere near the $100,000 my brain thinks I'm making!  These are some cute things I love and I think everyone needs to buy!



 This little cutie was only like 3$! Bath and Body works sells them in all different colors and patterns...it's like a little holder for your hand sanitizer!  I'm not a big germ-a-phobe or anything but I just had to have it because it was so cute.  And also, the sanitizer inside of it smells like a Margarita!  It even matches my purse!


 


If you ever have a dinner party, or even have the girls over for a couple cocktails, you NEED these!  They're called Lolita Glassware they're the cutest.  I've been trying to collect as many as I can.  For 25$ you can get a martini glass designed in all sorts of colors, ribbons, and diamonds.  They also sell wine glasses, beer glasses, ice cream bowls, shot glasses and more!  BUT! The best part?! At the bottom of each glass, they give you a drink recipe with a cute name!  Love it so much.  This is their Princess Martini glass.



 This just SCREAMS cute! It's called Babycakes Cupcake Maker. Pretty much this tiny thing packs a PUNCH of that sweet cupcake flavor we all know and love, in only 5-8 minutes!  How cute is it though..and portable! If you buy one they come with recipes and cute little tools to decorate. And their mini..so less calories..but really..we all know we could eat every cupcake in this machine.

 Okay so those are a few of my cute little *must-haves.*  What kind of things do you like to have JUST BECAUSE!
