Until last weekend I had never had a michelada before. Honestly, I asked a lot of Houstonians and they had the same answer. I think we need to reconsider our life choices, y’all. We’ve all heard of a bloody mary (yum.), but what about it’s beer based cousin? Continue reading “Michelada Popsicle Cocktails”
Damn Julia, back at it again with the dairy free desserts. Seriously, I never thought I would find myself here. But it was an accident this time, I swear! Growing up I would have at least 3 glasses of milk a day, but due to some unforeseen circumstances there have been a few changes here and there.

Though it’s not Easter, I’ve still been noticing a trend in home decor for bunny decorations. Just one little item can add a lot of character to a simple room, like the fun bunny lamp with the rabbit ears popping out of the top. Unexpected and really adorable. I wanted to do a roundup of all of the items I had stumbled upon – partially for you to discover, and partially because I needed a place to keep them for my future purchasing abilities…
Obviously, I’ve been rocking this trend for a while now with a full blown rabbit art piece above my bed. My art teacher in college asked us to make an image out of sticks that could be our “life logo”, and then we were instructed to draw that stick logo in pencil. I chose to show myself as a tall bunny with all of my shorter bunny friends so only their ears would be showing, as if a photo had been taken and everyone else had been accidentally cut off. All of my senior year roommates in college were at least four inches shorter than me, I kid you not. My teacher thought it was so hilarious and asked if he could put it in the end of the year art show. It was really just an honest representation of my life, but I obviously allowed it, and realized that the last time that had happened was in kindergarten. I guess life really does run full circle? It turned out to be a cooler project than I initially judged it to be, and now it hangs proudly above my bed. It makes me happy, and I’ve decided that’s the only reason to have art at all.
Hope you are all having spectacular weeks! I just flew into Chicago this morning and can’t wait to cuddle up with my parent’s dog, Cedric, before running off to the city for a whirlwind trip with my friends. When I get back I’m itching for some redecoration though. Contemplating a makeover on my DIY Ikea bar, any suggestions?
I’ve been having a love affair with white tops this summer. I pretty much have exclusively paired a white tank, my white peplum, and white lace shirts with all of my skirts. White is fresh, crisp, and classic, so it’s no wonder it’s everyone’s closet staple. It also makes me look tan, and I love that about you, white.

Sometimes I get an idea into my head, and then that idea brews for a while. In this case, I’ve been waiting to throw this B-Y-O-Pineapple party for about 9 months. Is there anything better than having a fruity beverage in hand and your feet dipped into the pool under the hot sun? Continue reading “B-Y-O-Pineapple Party: DIY Daiquiris in Pineapple Cups”
Summer has arrived and I am ready for some new artwork around the house! I love switching decor up each season to keep things fresh. Vibrant colors and fruity patterns always speak to me during the hot Summer months. I saw this adorable pineapple print on Pinterest and wanted to make my own DIY geometric pineapple artwork.

There are the classics in life: the LBD, the nude pump, the white button up. Then there are the classics in my closet: the black and white striped tee shirt, the black and white striped dress, and the black and white striped… you get the picture.

When dinner consists of rainbow colors, huge flavor, and includes the word taco, you KNOW I’ll be in to it. But to be honest, I reserve most new and experimental cooking for the weekend. Weekdays are for roasting veggies with salt and pepper, repeating tried and true teriyaki salmon and hummus chicken recipes… or just heating up some really spot on frozen tamales. But by Sunday I am fully rested and wake up on a mission to cook something that’s exciting. And by exciting, I mean that I have enough gusto to head to the meat counter and ask for a 3 1/2 pound pork shoulder. Sunday’s usually involve friends too, so there’s someone around to help me eat this 3 1/2 pound hunk of meat. Continue reading “Colorful Slow Cooker Pork Taco Recipe”
