New Obsession

I have been obsessing over Pinterest for months.   Now, I'm sure you know what it is, but here's an explanation anyway.    Pinterest (as described by Pinterst themselves) “is a virtual pinboard – a place where you can create collections of things you love and “follow” collections created by people with great taste.” 

It’s so simple to use!   You can “pin” anything you like on the web and add it to any “board” you create. You can also “follow” other "pinners" and see what they're pinning. Just be sure to find the original source before pinning. (We always want to give proper credit.)

Hair Help!

For me, fixing my hair can be a tad bit complicated.  Mostly because I lack any sort of talent in this department.  On a typical day I pull it back into a pony tale or just power dry it and walk out the door.  Boring.  Here are some inspirational photos I've been holding onto.  Perhaps some day I'll give one of them a try.

After living in this house for over a year...we have some yard work to do.  Really just some colorful plants to add to the front, ground cover for the back and we need to plant a garden.  Stay tuned for the results.

Turnstone has come up with some creative modular office solutions they are calling Bivi.  There's even a spot to park your skateboard.

Hey friends...sorry I have been MIA and I've got no excuses to give, but I'm back.  And, to get the ball rolling again, Nuria Mora!  I ran across this gorgeous installation while trying to find some online fashion deals.  These installation shots from Nuria Mora have definitely brighten my day.  I'm just bummed most of the spring clothing is of the same color range.

Beer Cocktails

Are you following the Backyard Bartender?  You should be.  I'm going to make this delicious cocktail very soon.  Note to self: must buy fancy striped straws. 

Redneck Mother
1 oz Rio Star ruby red grapefruit juice (fresh-squeezed!)
.75 oz sloe gin (Get the Plymoth, if you can. It's a bit hard to find, but completely worth it. If you can't hunt down the Plymoth, use a bit less, as other brands tend to be sweeter.)
Lone Star beer
Ginger beer

Add the sloe gin and grapefruit juice to the bottom of a pint glass (or mason jar). Fill the remaining portion of the jar halfway with Lone Star and top with ginger beer. Cheers.
