Invoke your retro spirit!
I have boring nails, macaroons. Even when I have nails to speak of, they’re either unpainted or French tips. Yawn. It’s a year of candy colors & taking chances, so here are my ideas for retro-inspired nails that step outside their cuticle comfort zone!
When I think “retro,” my mind immediately [...]

Superalzy's teaming up with POM superjuice to defeat dinner!
The kind people over at POM Wonderful sent me a free case of POM 100% Pomegranate juice because I am a superhero & POM juices have antioxidant superpowers. I’d seen POM in the supermarket before & always wanted to try it because of the health benefits. [...]

Shake it off!
How are you holding up, macaroons? Just a few more weeks in the dark before signs of spring will start shooting up. Hang in there.
Combating winter
blahs in the vineyard with wines
& stinky cheeses.
The grapevines sleep now,

A special package
from POM puts me back in [...]

Monday: Sarah Von of Yes & Yes wrote a brilliant post about prescriptions for happiness. Write yourself a Rx for the things that make you happy & fill your prescription as self-directed! Mine would look like this:

While it’s still hard for me to view her as an adult, there’s no denying that Emma Watson is a portrait of class, grace & old Hollywood revival. She is my generation’s Audrey Hepburn. Bold statement, I know macaroons, but she will be the actress to watch after the Harry Potter franchise is done. I’m [...]

Muah!
Having your first job out of college or grad school severely changes the way you think about your money, macaroons. Gone are the days of spending your summer job paychecks on shoes & liquor. You’ve got bills, food & *gasp!* student loans to pay off! I used to be the Mayor of Buying [...]

Life's not a rollercoaster…it's bumper cars…on acid.
How was your week, macaroons? Did you try anything from last week’s Magic Monday list? I had a busy week between taking care of a post-op Muldoon & building a massive Finding Nemo cake for a 1st birthday party. That cake consumed my entire weekend, but it was [...]

Everything gold can stay…
Monday: Make postcards & write love notes to friends you haven’t seen in a while or kept up with as often as you’d like. Last week I got a sweet postcard from my darling friend, Mariana & it made my whole week!
Tuesday: Gather all the quarters under your couch cushions, find [...]

I think I have enough material for two more of these, macaroons, but I’ll space them out for your enjoyment. I honestly can’t believe some of this stuff. Even stranger, I kind of love some of it. In case you missed part one & part two, check them out! And now…WTFashion?!
I'm getting itchy just [...]

Cupcake results not typical. These are by Sheela @ Miel Y Leche Bakery
Considering the fact that a special little friend of mine had her first birthday yesterday, I had a lot of cake work to do over the weekend. Deciding to play with fondant for the first time requires some practice, macaroons, & as [...]
