Bachelorette Weekend

1//2//3//4//5//6//7

This weekend I'm off to a beach cabin to attend a bachelorette party for one of my sorority sisters.  In preparation I have been looking at all the fun gift ideas.  I've found some really great Kate Spade ones.  Do you have a go to bachelorette present for people?  We are headed to the beach and will hopefully be making s'mores with the cute Godiva heart chocolate biscuits and drinking Sofie Champagne out of  little pink cans.  My mind was blown this past week when I was introduced to these. It is the most brilliant idea and are definitely marketed with the right people in mind. Now I just need to pick out which Mrs. gift is perfect!

Valentine's Day Treats

I had to work all weekend so that meant I took Friday off.  This year instead of cards or cookies I decided to make marshmallows from scratch!

I looked at a couple different recipes and I ended up trying this one from Deb over at Smitten Kitchen. I had never made them before and this recipe was easy and so so good! 

Then I decided to continue to be crafty and visited Sarah over at Sugar House Ink and printed these great bag toppers.

Now I'm ready to hand these out to my friends and impress them with my craftiness!

And then to reward myself for actually making Valentine's sweets for people this is now en route to my door step.

Weekend Wrap Up

Wow what a weekend.  As a Seattleite and an avid sports fan this weekend was just UHHH-mazing. Although I love fashion all my style sense goes out the window on Sundays, August - February and I'm found wearing my Sherman Hawks Jersey.  I think I might have to pick up another jersey before next season... The city was just electric last night.

I also spent some time with my mom volunteering at Brides Against Breast Cancer.  It is a great organization that my mom and I have been involved with on and off for the past 5 years.  

This bad boy also showed up in my mail box 

On a whim I picked up a Michael Stars dress that was on sale on Piperlime about a month ago.  When it showed up it was the softest fabric and I knew I was hooked.  I've been on a mission to upgrade my sleeping clothes so I'm not in ratty old sorority tees and PJ bottoms.  I scored this robe at 50% off plus another 20% at check out!  I'm so glad I got it, I already see myself in it every morning.

Weekend Wrap Up

Weekends are definitely when my good eating habits go out the door. This happens for 2 main reasons. 

1. Sheer laziness

2. What I was busy doing (read:drinking) the night before.  

This weekend I took it easy and it showed. 

A relaxing Saturday morning start

Juicing up during a Sunday stroll

shoes: Sperry's - here pants: Gap - here 

watch: Michael Kors - here

New favorite treat: Juicebox Seattle. If you haven't heard about it, read about it here, here, and here. Then do yourself a favor & go check it out! I got to enjoy the Tropical Green and added a shot of Ginger.
