Oh my dang y’all!!! Ever since I went to Leyna’s Winter Rainbow 1st Birthday Party, I’ve been more than a little obsessed with the White Hot Chocolate (with RUM!) that was served. It tasted like everything right in the whole world and reminded me of the white chocolate Crunch bars of my childhood (whatever happened to those….I don’t need to know). I’m not a huge fan of dark or milk chocolate but white chocolate is a whole ‘nother story.
Anyway, I went to Central Market after lunch with friends today and got the ingredients to make my own version.
Silk Pure Coconut Milk (or use regular whatever kind of milk you like to drink)
White chocolate chips (these are super-fancy Central Market kind)
Ground cinnamon & ground nutmeg (optional)
Warm however much milk you want on medium-low on the stove.
I added half the amount of white chocolate chips as there was milk (so if you used 2 cups of milk, add 1 cup of white chocolate chips).
Stir and make sure you don’t burn it.
Taste
Sprinkle nutmeg and cinnamon
Add booze (if that’s your thing). I didn’t have any in the house.
Last Sunday, I went to a Dallas Mavericks vs San Antonio Spurs game with my husband for our date night. All of my old favorite Mavs shirts were freakishly small (from a time before I had any kids) but still cute and so I wanted to give one of them a new life….as a scarf. I got so many compliments at the game that I whipped up a little [simple] tutorial video. I think this could be a great idea for a Superbowl party outfit as well.
First–some photos from game day….
With the Dallas Mavericks drumline…wearing my over the knee Kork-Ease boots and skinny jeans.
I managed to my nails in the car (hubby was driving). Sally Hansen gold glitter. Don’t ask me why I’m making that crazy face….
Here’s the video….with REALLY simple instructions. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! I’m planning to make another scarf (with LACE) for an upcoming Dallas Stars game and I should also make a Texas Rangers game because we practically live in the the Ballpark in Spring/Summer.
Pin it Yesterday while my oldest was at school, baby and I went to Sephora because I was almost out of foundation (Make-Up Forever HD liquid foundation, posted about it here). I managed to get in and out with JUST that–willpower ftw! Here’s my daytime look. No make-up, my favorite new boots (also seen here),…
Pin it The title says it all. This stuff is no joke. See video. **updated with more pictures below Alright, so yesterday I was in a hurry to post because I was so excited and forgot to include the rest of the pictures I had taken. Note that I don’t curl my lashes. In the…
Pin it I may write/vlog a lot about beauty, but there are absolutely no “beauty secrets” here. I am the first to admit to wearing fake eyelashes, make-up, push-up bras, spanx, tummy controlling shirts, figure flattering clothes, and hair weave. One of the things I love about the Internet, YouTube, and blogs is that I…
Pin it Alright, so lately you all have witnessed me being more than a little obsessed with getting my hands on Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter (a tinted lip balm with mango, shea and coconut butter). I normally like to layer my chapstick with lipstick and/or lip gloss because I love having color AND soft lips,…
Pin it Yesterday was a special day for a few reasons. One of them being that my friend Michelle (who recently moved across the country) was in Dallas for a visit and so all of my favorite mommy-friends got together for brunch and a night out. Here’s what I wore: Earrings (from….geez I can’t remember…
Pin it As many of you know, I love my Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips. I’m so glad that they are constantly coming out with new (and seasonal) designs because I wear them sooo much (if I had to pick a favorite, it would be glitter). For once there is a drugstore…
Pin it So. I was just shopping around the internet with my eyes…trying to get a leg up on what’s available for spring 2012 and such when out of nowhere I fell in love with a Rory Becca Fringe Tunic Tank ($13.80) at Forever21.com. I’m not sure what came over me but visions of Spring,…
Pin it ***Many websites and blogs are blacked out today in protest of the SOPA/PIPA bill. If I had any clue how to black out my blog without deleting important stuff, I would but I’ve been gone most of the day anyhow. If you are a lover of the beautifully creative internet community and want…
If you are the average woman, you probably have zero plans to rebuild your entire wardrobe around this beautiful orange-y color so I’m gonna help you out with a few must-haves to keep you in style without breaking the bank and some tips on how to wear them.
Pin it Ever since I laid eyes on Old Navy’s Blanket Wrap Cardigan, I’ve been more than a little obsessed with it. The southwestern print is very trendy right now (yet also a classic…at least it is in Texas), inexpensive at $38, looks super comfy, and it’s length could have a nice minimizing effect on…
Pin it Baby weight. Last I mentioned here, I had just bought some “fat pants” so I could maintain some sense of style and not feel intense amounts of pressure about trying to fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes. I’m not sure exactly how much weight I gained during this pregnancy (at some point I stopped…
Pin it Here’s some Monday morning fashion inspiration via Pinterest/Polyvore. I chose these 6 outfits because I was looking for things that were mom-friendly, casual, and wearable. In all honesty–I was in need of inspiration myself now that the holidays are over, I have a few new pieces or my own/that fit, and we’re getting…
