Snow Day in Georgia

If you are wondering what the most beautiful university looks like covered in snow, here it is! Look at UGA on North Campus. I don't know about y'all, but I had an absolute blast playing in the snow. I was able to take my puppy, Brody, outside for his first look at snow! 

He seriously loved it!! Did any of you get snow? I would love to see pictures! Email me!

Happy Holidays

This is my absolute favorite time of the year. With out a doubt! Therefore, I decided to throw a party and invite all my friends over to help celebrate! I had the best time finding fun recipes on Pinterest and getting my house all decorated. I decided that we would have some Christmas cocktails, decorate a gingerbread house & watch Elf! Let me just tell you....it was SO much fun! Here are a few pictures of the party!

My North Pole Cupcakes

These were SO easy to do. All I did was buy a kit at Target and buy recipe mix and there you have it!

The Cheese & Grape Tree

These were just as easy! All I did was buy a block of cheese and use a cookie cutter to make the star. I then just layered cheese and grapes and added some strips of green paper in between. The trunk was a cinnamon stick. All my guests talked about how cute it was and that it was yummy! I served with ritz crackers. 

Candy cane Marshmallows for Hot Chocolate 

These were so fun to make! The first thing I did was hammer some candy canes. I then added the small candy canes into the marshmallows. I melted some chocolate and rolled the marshmallows into the little pieces of candy canes. They were so yummy in some hot chocolate.

Christmas Cocktails 

I cannot speak highly enough about these yummy cocktails. The best part is....they only took about 5 minutes to make! The straws came from Target. 

Ingredients

• 8 tablespoons pomegranate juice 
• 1 pint raspberry sorbet
• 4 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
• chilled champagne

Instructions

1. Freeze your glasses until frosty.

2. Add 2 tablespoons of pomegranate juice to the bottom of each glass.

3. Add a few small scoops of the raspberry sorbet and 1 tablespoon of pomegranate seeds to each glass.

4. Top with chilled champagne. (I continued to top off the glass with more champagne as I drank, because there is more than enough sorbet to flavor several glasses full if you wish.)

My cute little babies!

The Best Time of the Year

What is the first thing you do once Thanksgiving has ended? For me, I am not a Black Friday shopper. It is just too much for me. Instead, I like to clean my house and decorate for Christmas!! It is seriously my favorite time of the year!! As some of you may know, I am a senior in college this year. This meaning, I was able to go buy my very own Christmas tree to decorate. How does it look?

I absolutely love the burlap craze going on these days. All I did was buy a roll of burlap ribbon and wrap it around my tree. I was able to buy two rolls and use them all to make my tree and the bow. Send me pictures of your tree! I would love to see! I will be posting some of my favorites!! 

DIY Monogram

Looking for a good background for your computer? Well read this! I am absolutely obsessed with my monogram background. You can choose your colors too! There are a few ways to get yours. I think the best way to do this is to start here:

1. For Chic Sake

2. Then pick a color from the ones pictured below

3. All you do is follow the directions & bam! You're all done! 

Hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

Back to School, Back to School

If you are anything like me, you absolutely love back to school shopping. From new clothes to actual school supplies, it's an absolute blast. One thing that is on my list to get each school year is a Lily Pulitzer Agenda. Every girl needs one! This year I chose this patterned agenda:

This particular agenda is the 2104 jumbo agenda. I know that $34 is a little pricey, but there is free standard shipping & will arrive super quick! It even comes with a few stickers for the kid in you. So start this school year off with a little organization in a fashionable way. 

What's something that's on your back to school list each year?

Looking for your summer drink?

Well look no further! I have found the best summer drink & have decided to share it with you all. This drink is perfect for parties or just to cool you down. And they are called...drum roll please....Wine Slush! Here is a picture of all the ingredients that we used.

What you will need:

1. One can of Five Alive (frozen)

2. One can of Limeade (frozen)

3. One bottle of White Zinfandel

4. Gingerale

All that you have to do is mix the Five Alive, Limeade and White Zinfandel in a gallon pitcher and mix. Then you add the Gingerale, but leave approximately 2 inches at the top because this mixture of goodness will expand. After that you let it freeze and get out about 30 minutes before you want to drink. Then slush it up! Here is what they will turn out like. 

Have any of you tried these before? What did you think? Enjoy!

Goooo dawgs! Sic 'em!

There is nothing that us southerns look forward to most other than football season! With this fabulous occasion just around the corner, y'all need your tailgating essentials.

My boyfriend and I are making & selling these bad boys for $260! That includes everything you see above (2 boards, 8 bags, & your monogram or school logo!).
