Drinks Anyone?

These are currently at the top of my wishlist. Tim and I have been embracing living on our own and picking out dishes and lots of other "living items". That sounds funny, but it's the best way to describe it. The problem is that Tim and I are really clumsy, especially when it comes to glassware. We have broken 1 wine glass, 2 drinking glasses and a martini glass; and it hasn't even been a year. The only reason we haven't broken any plates is becuase we registered for really hefty plates, we have definitely dropped them. So, while looking around for replacement glasses I came accross these...

I loooove their shape! The stems on martini glasses used to be one of my favorite things, but after actually using them I'm not such a fan (wine glasses are another story). I also love how modern the shaker is; both pieces have such great lines to them! They would look amazing set up on a bar!
They're from Crate&Barrel and are actually really affordable. The shaker is 14.99 and the glasses are $3.95 each, plus both are eligable for the flat rate $4.95 shipping.

Bottoms Up!

Smoothies are my number one, most favorite thing to make/drink. You can't mess them up! and if you do somehow, you can just throw in a banana or a little more orange juice to fix it. They're not like cookies where you only know you messed them up after it's too late. The best part is they're totally healthy for you! Not to mention they're great for feeling refreshed and cool on your spring break.

These are all of the ingredients I used:

• Green Goodness juice (Bolthouse Farms)
• A couple of spoonfuls of Strawberry Banana yogurt (Yoplait)
• The juice from 1/2 a lemon
• 1 banana
• ~1/2 cup of frozen blueberries and rasberries (I just get the store brand)

Adjust these measurements to how you like them! And switch out the juices or use a bag of blended frozen fruit. After you make a couple of batches you'll learn what you like and which fruits you can switch out.

I put the juice in first so it blends better. This part especially is a taste balance;

 I don't want to taste the green juice so I put in enough for the health benefits but 

small enough that it won't be the main flavor.

Cut your bigger fruit so it'll blend faster.

Watch out for seeds!

And you're done!

Spring Break Nails

Even though I am not going any where for spring break this year I am doing all that I can to feel as though I am on the beach. One way I set the mood, no matter what I'm celebrating, is painting my nails. I don't have the biggest collection nor am I very skilled at painting cool designs. However, I've learned that using tape to create lines and adding a little sparkle or an unexpected pop of color goes a looooong way. All this to say, my nails are pretty funky for spring break. I did two layers of the orange and then two thin layers of the sparkles - I did thin layers so I could control an even dispersion of the larger sparkles.
