I was sent these nail gel films from Perfect Nail in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% my own, as always.  When I was little my mom got me some children's Tinkerbell nail polish that you could paint on your nails but it would just peel off when you were done with it. It was the best thing ever and is still a very distinct memory from my childhood. It was also the beginning of my love for nail polish. As I got older, my love continued and became a source of stress relief for me. In college my best friend would gauge how stressful my week was by how often I changed my nail polish. However, one thing that has always eluded me is quick nail art.

For Michael's birthday last month he requests an all hor d'oeuvre dinner; a combination of his favorite finger foods versus an actual meal. His mom and I had a fun time determining which hor d'oeuvres we would cook. It was a bit labor intensive, but overall it was a really fun evening. I think we should definitely build these into our meal plan as an occasional thing.
One of the hor d'oeuvres I knew we had to make were the jalapenos poppers my friend Emily taught me how to make. They're so easy, delicious, and a little bit spicy! They wouldn't be loved by those who do not enjoy spicy foods, but I don't generally enjoy peppers and I like these, so they can convert some people. ;) This post originally appeared on my Paper Swallow Events blog. I've been divvying up my personal and business blogging, so I'm transferring the personal posts over to this site. This book was provided to me by Blogging for Books in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% my own, as always.  I don't know about you all, but as the weather starts to get warmer I love finding flavorful drinks that can also help me stay cool. I've never been a coffee drinker (much to the shock of my coffee-adoring family), but I do love tea. When I had the opportunity to review Punch Bowls and Pitcher Drinks by Jeanne Kelley + Sarah Tenaglia, I was very excited! I jumped on the opportunity hoping to find many new big-batch summer drinks to enjoy.

Lovelies, today is the start of a collaboration between my friend Kate of Hot Tea and Cold Feet and myself. Kate is a real life friend who has recently been branching into blogging (which has been so fun!). A few weeks ago, while hanging out, Kate + I were discussing the book Bread + Wine, which lead to the discussion of wine, and then led to discussing how I love the smell of wine but can't appreciate the bitterness of anything beyond a Moscato. Kate (who has had some level of wine training and appreciates dark wines) offered to take me on a journey that would hopefully result in me learning to appreciate darker wines, too.
Out of this discussion a collaboration was born! On the first Wednesday of each month Kate + I (each in our own ways, on our own blogs) are going to take you on a journey from sweet to dark wines. We will pair each wine with a recipe that compliments the flavor of the wine and share our thoughts here with you. We're calling it "Wine Wednesday in PJs" because it's about wine on a Wednesday and we both cooked in our pjs. Haha. You can journey along with us in order if you want to learn to appreciate darker wines, or you can jump in wherever you want. Consider these a ready made date night meal plan! |
