Hump Day Happy Hour: White Christmas Punch

It’s that time to start getting fancy with our cocktails (somewhat)!

Now I know lots of people CRINGE when they hear eggnog (I personally love it). White Christmas Punch is a really nice alternative to mix up for guests who are not extremely fond of just straight Eggnog.

Ingredients:

  • 4 oz eggnog
  • 1/2 oz white chocolate liqueur
  • 1 oz Southern Comfort
  • edible gold flakes or chocolate flakes for garnish

Prep:

  1. Build the ingredients in to snifter glass and stir lightly.
  2. Sprinkle gold or chocolate flakes on top.

You can make this on a much larger scale by pouring larger quantities (be generous with the Southern Comfort!) into a large punch bowl.

All I Want for Christmas is Some Boots on Mah Feet!

I know one of these pairs of boots will make it on my Christmas list!

  3. Simple TOEst ($120)

China, China!

Giveaway: Make Others GREEN with Spa Envy

Everyone loves to get their facial on, right?  I’ll admit, I was scared the first couple of times, but now I am in love.  For the partially-adult-acne-prone skin I own, I am amazed how a good facial actually helps, especially an all natural Green facial.  You don’t have to be the all. vegan. all. the. time. type of individual to partake in a Green salon experience. In most cases, Green salons just tend to be more environmentally responsible with their product choices and therefore healthier for your skin and hair as well.

In H-Town, I found a salon (DotDot Salon), an esthetician (Lindsay) and a facial (The Dharma) that I <3. Cutest salon, nicest girl eva and did I mention this adorable, quaint place is Houston’s first Green hair salon?

For you lucky readers residing in Houston, Texas,  Lindsay is ready to show you her skilz!  The Prize:  “The Dharma” facial, valued at $125.00.

Sweater Dresses

Last week Der showed us a great way to tighten up our look.  So, I went on the hunt for one of those basic sweater dresses.  I bought a few and I need to warn you–one of them looked like I was wearing a body sock–so you may want to be a little smarter than me and try them on in the store.

  1. Derek Heart Tiered Sweater Dress in Avocado
  2. Black Elle Babydoll Sweater Dress
  3. Navy H81 Sweater Dress

The awesome thing about fun dresses is any of these go for around $25 or less.  I wore #1 today with some grey tights and loved it!

Tiny Purse

Anyone who knows me is aware of the fact that all my purses have to be under a certain size for me to carry them.  While the trend of carrying large hobos, totes,  and shoulder bags increased, I started on my never ending journey of looking for tiny purses.  Just something about them is cute and very much me.  Here is the one I am currently sporting.

Cross Bodies

I am always on the hunt for a good crossbody bag.

For the fall/winter season, I am trying to decide between these 5 fabulous finds!

  1. Fossil Gwen Crossbody
  2. Pax Eco ll Convertible Crossbody
  3. LeSportSac Deluxe Everyday Bag in Fado
  4. LeSportSac Madison in Ardor
  5. Haiku City Satchel Branch
