cinco de mayo // margarita recipes

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Another one of my favorite holidays... Why? Because, TACOS. Mexican food is easily one of my favorites, and paired with a margarita? Done. If you want a festive margarita that's different from the rest, look no further - I've found a few yummy margarita recipes to share with y'all! 

Cucumber Lemon Margarita from Lauren Conrad

Pink Cadillac Margarita from My Recipes

Rosa Picante Margarita from Carrie Bradshaw Lied

Spicy Jalapeno Margarita from Bethenny Frankel

My husband and I first officially started hanging out on Cinco de Mayo TEN years ago today. So this day brings some special memories... And also makes me wonder where the past ten years have gone! Since we leave for Texas on Monday, we decided to celebrate at home, throwing the diets out the window and noshing on tacos, margaritas and chips with my mom's homemade peach salsa... (Seriously, SO good!) How are you celebrating Cinco de Mayo?

Thanks for reading! XO

how to // host a successful friendsmas

It doesn't seem like that long ago that I was talking about how to host a successful Friendsgiving. Isn't it crazy how fast this holiday season is going? Christmas is just over 2 weeks away, and many of us have a lot of parties to attend, and some may even be hosting! I feel like Friendsmas is made best by these four things: music, food, drink, and of course, your outfit. If you're in charge of Friendsmas this year, here's some tips on how to host it successfully:

cream of mushroom soup // light!

I have been wanting to make a lightened up version of Cream of Mushroom soup for a while now but I have just never gotten around to it. Like I've said before, my husband isn't the biggest fan of soups, but today when he forgot to save me a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store he works at, I decided to make the soup instead! It took me only about a half-hour to make and it is delicious! I found several recipes on Pinterest, but I couldn't decide on which one to use so I kind of based my recipe off a couple that I found on there and made it my own. And here is what I came up with:

Cream of Mushroom Soup (light!)

detox smoothie recipe // beets

Can I tell you guys about my newest obsession? BEETS! I know, gross, right? But they're really not that bad! Ever since I started dating my husband I've been less picky about my eating and willing to try new things. I even started putting onions in our food and I HATE onions! So I tried the beets out of curiosity and I was not disappointed.
