Mmm...Mmm...Monday

Yesterday while watching the Super Bowl we enjoyed the pineapple vodka I made back in December and let me tell you it was delicious!   The flavor gets better the longer it sits in the refrigerator.  All you need to make this infused vodka is:

1.      A fresh pineapple that has been cored.  I kept the shell for a tropical drink the same day I make this vodka.

2.      Add your favorite vodka (I used Stolichnaya).

3.      Let it sit for 7-10 days in a cool dark place.

4.      You can either strain the vodka or discard the pineapple.  I kept the pineapple in my vodka and placed a slice in my drink but beware this fruit is potent!

Guest bathroom

I love the rich colors of the fall and winter seasons...with that said I'm so over winter!  It has been overcast for days.  The plus side is I have time to work on projects around the house.  Now, normally my guest bathroom is light filled and inviting but today it seems too dark.  So I snapped a few quick pictures to get some ideas on how I want to decorate it for spring.  Do you change all your rooms in the house to match the seasons?

Mmm...Mmm...Monday!

I have been on the fence about having either a built in banquette or settee in my kitchen but after seeing these beauties from Home Goods it looks like I'm on the hunt for a settee.

Until next time.

Healthy eating

So...I am on a quest to eat healthier fare this year.  Here's a quick peek of what I prepared for dinner tonight, a whole wheat veggie pizza and a tossed salad splashed with a light vinaigrette.  The pizza was delicious and not greasy.  I need to try to make more of my pizza's at home.

 

The whole wheat pizza dough from Trader Joe's is to die for!  Until next time!

Mmm...Mmm...Monday!

Thrifting has never been my thing but, I have been inspired by other bloggers and YouTuber's who have found some awesome items at their local thrift store.  Well lo and behold I go to my local Goodwill and found these bookends! These bookends are very heavy and well made from solid wood.  I only paid $9.99 for them and when I looked at the bottom the original price was a whopping $75.00!  I'm undecided where they will eventually end up but for now they are resting on the mantle in my bedroom.  If you thrift, what was your favorite purchase?

Do you Juju?

I have been in love with juju hats forever!  Since moving into my new home last year I have not made any furniture purchases.  I really wanted to get a feel for the home and how I wanted it to look.  Being a "Girly Girl" married to a "Macho Man" has created some design challenges but when the hubby got his man cave he said "do what you want to the house just leave my room alone!"  Famous last words but then again he likes to live dangerously.  Ok, so let me stop rambling, I get sidetracked very easily.  Now back to the juju hats, I haven't decided how I will work one into my space but I will get one.  I just pulled some images off the web to lust after!  Enjoy!
