GO-TO TUESDAY

Yayy, this is the first Go-To of 2020. I’ve been struggling with fighting sickness and I’m finally on the mend! I have to say, I wouldn’t be if it weren’t for my go-to hand sanitizer. Thank goodness for Bath & Body Works’ antibacterial hand gel for helping me kill those germs that I need to stay away!! PLUS, it snells so dang amazing!! I’m so over being sick and don’t have time for that. This hand sanitizer also comes in handy when I have my pupper around. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to dogs so anytime I want cuddles, I need to sanitize afterwards. Either way, Bath & Body Work’s antibacterial hand gel is my go-to all the time! 🙌🏼

Happy Saturday friends,

It’s almost Christmas morning and I have a special Christmas morning treat that will be perfect to sip on while opening presents and snacking on your brunch. This drink is the Peppermint Mimosa and it’s super easy to make. I’m all about easy and yummy drinks and this one is! Follow along below on what you need to make this yummy drink.

Ingredients:

    Peppermint Schnapps

    Champagne (Sweet Cuvée)

    Candy Canes

    Chocolate (that can be melted, don’t need much)

Start out with your glass, melt some chocolate on a plate then dip your rim into that. Then crush up some candy canes and dip that chocolate rimmed glass into the crushed candy.

After that, pour your champagne into the glass and top off with a little bit of schnapps. A little bit goes a long way. I put an ounce in and could have done a little less. Less is more in this mimosas. Garnish this drink with a candy cane and enjoy!

Happy Saturday night!!

  • It’s another weekend in December, which means I’m sharing with you another Holiday Cocktail to make during this holiday season. Whether you’re going to a party, having family and friends over, or even just spending the night at home with your love, this is the perfect cocktail for you to try. This time, I decided to spice things up a bit with some Tequila. Today’s holiday cocktail is a Cranberry Margarita! Follow along below for instructions and ingredients:

    • 1/4 cup Tequila (I bought Margaritaville Silver Tequila)

    • 1/2 cup Cranberry Juice (100% juice)

    • 2-3 tablespoons (depending on your preference of orange flavor) Triple Sec (I bought DeKuyper)

    • 1/4 cup Lime Juice (I used from a bottle but suggest using actual limes)

    • Margarita Salt

    Alright friends, all you have to do is mix all those ingredients together to get a delicious holiday margarita! To get the salt on the rim on your drink, I put some lime juice on a plate then dipped my rim onto the plate. Then I dipped it immediately into the margarita salt. Enjoy friends! ✨

    Friends! I got a little fun fact to share with you today AND it just so happens to be my go-to too! I’m sharing with you my go-to drug store setting powder! The Covergirl Clean Professional loose powder in Translucent is under $5 and keeps my face matte and perfect all day long. I love this product because I can purchase it anywhere locally including the Dollar General! Yes friends, I said it. I’m so not above going to the Dollar General (in all honestly, I’ll go anywhere before Walmart). It’s so easy to pop in and out, plus I have one only 5 minutes from my house. This powder also comes with a ton in the pack and I can use it for months. What more can you ask for? Check out the link below to see the product on Target’s website.

    Happy December friends,

    I’m loving all the holiday spirit(s) I’ve been seeing lately and I want to keep it up. Today, I’m bringing you my first night of “Saturday Night Holiday Cocktails” and this is Week 1! The drink of choice tonight is the Cranberry Ginger Ale Mimosa. This is the perfect drink to make Christmas morning during brunch. This is the easiest drink to make and sooooo yummy!Here’s what you need to get in the spirit:

    • Canada Dry Cranberry Ginger Ale

    • Korbel Champagne Sweet Cuvée

    • Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice

    And that’s it! Honestly, I just filled the glass halfway with champagne, threw in the Cranberry Ginger Ale, and then a splash of cranberry. I wanted more champagne but you can do it however you desire. The best part is you don’t even have to mix it cause the bubble will mix it for you. Enjoy friends and let me know if you try this at home! ✨

    Well hello and happy holidays! I’m so excited that it’s finally the holiday season and I’m even more pumped to share with you my absolute FAVORITE and go-to gummy bears. This sweet treat is a holiday exclusive and they are the Haribo Gold-Bears Christmas Edition Mini Bears. The flavors included in the pack are strawberry (green) and raspberry (red), which honestly are the best flavors anyway! Which makes so much sense why I’m obsessed with this yummy bag of gummi bears. But hold up; I didn’t even mention the BEST PART, they are only $1 for a pack, yes that’s right, $1!!!! These are perfect stocking stuffers and so so delicious, I’ll link them for you all below!

    GO-TO TUESDAY

    The acne has been real recently and I would be a fool if I didn’t share with you my secret tool for those pesky trouble spots. Thanks to Kate Somerville EradiKate Spot Treatment, my acne is tamed and handled after applying this to my face. This treatment helps reduce swelling and redness from the zit. I’ve tried a couple different products but I always find myself reaching for Kate’s holy grail item. Seriously, it’s expensive but totally worth it if you’re finding yourself with those trouble spots and no effective plan for treating them other than waiting it out. EradiKate speeds up the process of getting rid of those pesky spots within a few days rather than the typical week. I’ll link the product below for your chance to check out this amazing product.

    Go-To Tuesday

    Okay, so a little fun fact about me: In high school, I always used to be jealous of the girls that wore glasses cause they could get away with not wearing makeup as much because they had glasses. I’ve always had 20/20 vision so I never had to get glasses but part of me always wanted them. Ever since I started working on my phone with the blog, I’ve been interested in trying out the Blue Light/Tech Glasses to help out with prevented eye damage and headaches. When I came across Sojos Blue Light Glasses, I was sold! These glass are super cute and look great on many different face shapes. I tried the round glasses which are cute to look at but not as flattering on all face shapes. These ones are though! Check out the links below to get your hands on these super affordable and trendy tech glasses.
