Friday Favorites + Coconut Rum Giveaway

Just another week that crawled by... but when I look at the big picture, it's like how the hell is October almost over already?

On Monday night, K and I celebrated the anniversary of when we met 6 years ago. He cooked up some surf and turf and I experimented making ravioli with sun-dried tomatoes (recipe to come next week). This was probably the fanciest thing we've cooked, ever!

Pretty excited I won a $100 gift certificate for Drugstore.com.  Has anyone every shopped on this site? Looks like an online Walgreen's but with a much bigger selection. Can't wait to do some "free" shopping for makeup and toiletries this weekend.

I'm also currently hosting a giveaway for 1 bottle of Blue Char Bay Coconut Spiced rum. I made a tropical martini over the weekend which was delish.

Friday's Fall Favorites

Happy Friday lovelies!

This week treated me well although it was pretty hectic at work training 3 new hires and trying to keep my head above water with my own work but I was mentally prepared for it and pulled through. The weekend is definitely always welcomed and I'm excited to have my parents in town visiting us for a couple weeks.

Soo...

My second Rocksbox arrived this week. The necklace they sent is so gorgeous and I can't wait to wear it out. The earrings are okay/nothing special and the bracelet is WTF? I did wear it to work once this week to "get my money's worth" but it's definitely not my style.

 

We tried out Abita's Pecan beer and it's a great flavor for Fall. Abita also make a strawberry beer which is my absolute favorite.

Fall Fashion Finds:
These comfy looking scarfs from Blue Avenue. It's not nearly cold enough here in Florida but I'm eying the grey one for the colder weather.

Dinners at home: BBQ jerk pork chops with stuffed peppers and a vegetable medley.

Loving these pumpkin cereal bars from Trader Joe's. I always go into this place to buy some cheap wine and a couple things and end up leaving with the most random things ever. The most recent trip left me with tons of pumpkin stuff including the ingredients for the pumpkin muffins I baked over the weekend and these cereal bars. They also had pumpkin ice cream but I managed to avoid that one.

St Patrick's Party Food Ideas + 2013 Recap

I've been looking around for festive appetizer and finger food ideas on Pinterest to make for a St Patrick's day party and stumbled across some cute ideas.

Mint Oreo Triffle via this The Girl in Red Shoes.

Mint Chocolate Chip cookies via True Couponing.

Shamrock Spinach Quiche via Diamonds for Dessert.

Lucky Charm Bars via Cozy Home Chronicles.

I love celebrating St. Patrick's day with friends. Last year we went to a friend's potluck-style
party so we ate all sorts of festive food and, of course, had way too many Irish car bombs. It was a fun night and the same friends are throwing another St Patty's party this weekend.

One of my friends recreated this Rainbow Fruit Tray with a Pot-O-Gold Rainbow and I thought it was such a cute idea for a St Patty's party.

Are you planning to make any festive appetizers, desserts or cocktails for St Patty's this year?

Ice Cream & Painkillers + $100 Giveaway

Hope everyone had a fun/relaxing weekend!

I had a low key weekend after my wisdom teeth surgery on Friday so nothing super exciting to share and NOBODY wants to see selfies of my puffy cheeks. The highlight of Friday night was mint chocolate ice cream & catching up on some blogging.

K and I also watched the movie Adult Children of Divorce (A.C.O.D) from Redbox, which wasn't terrible. I think we've already drained the nearby Redbox of all the good movies available.  

On Saturday, my cabin fever had already kicked in and I had to get out the house for a couple hours. I went with K to get some errands done, chipmunk cheeks and all.

 Later that night I cooked Kate's delicious French Onion Soup recipe for dinner and painted my nails with Sally Hansen's Chrome nail polish.

Sunday was a beautiful day so I ventured into my backyard to get some sun. The pain & swelling in my mouth was quite bad so I didn't want to go in public but didn't want to be stuck inside.

Finally got to use my zero gravity lounge chair to catch some rays.

Giveaway time: $100 Michael's Gift Card!

Hosted by Jennifer @ Lovely Little Fawn and co-hosted by myself and several other lovely ladies. This gift card is perfect for DIY wedding projects, home decorating, party planning, and crafting in general.

Super Bowl Weekend + $200 Giveaway

Super Bowl Monday should really be a holiday, don't you think? Productivity nationwide has to be zip to none. Although, I'm not a huge football fanatic, I am married to one and I do love joining in the festivities with friends

I went to a friend's Superbowl party yesterday and indulged in copious amounts of beer and greasy food. I do make an exception for the Super Bowl and enjoyed all the crap yummy food that comes along with it.

I made Pizza Dip for the party, which was my first attempt at making it. (Recipe to come).
