SNOWFLAKESSS


February 12th, 2010 was a very significant day...
you see, the last time Charleston, SC saw snow
was probably 10+ years ago.
And yet, while at dinner with friends...
IT SNOWED! A LOT

MishMash of Moments

Happy Valentine's Day, to YOU!

Generally, I love Valentine's Day because I think red&pink&hearts are pretty. and I get to make sparkly cards for family and friends while spilling glitter all over my bedroom carpet resulting in happiness for an extra 6 months because glitter is harrrd to vaccuum.

Today however, I'll be working (and so will my boyfriend, who doesn't ever think to celebrate Valentine's Day anyways...) so if you go out to eat, be extra nice to your server and tip well, because trust me, they'd rather be on a date.

So moving along, what have I been up to lately? Well, lots of stuff...

...like drinking champagne during girl time. 
....baking cupcakes
...sprinkling
...making jello shots for a SuperBowl Party
...making new guy friends & celebrating 21st birthdays
...and photodocumenting as much blackmail material as possible
...oh, and getting hit on by 15 year old boys at work that use the incorrect form of "you're". Regardless, I accept the compliment! Thanks, Mickey

Rockin' the Covers

Dear February Issue of Glamour,

THIS is how you sell a magazine! I was so in love with this cover (that dress! the animal print! those pink lips!) that I randomly bought it off the shelf at a Walgreen's one night. Do I typically spend $4 on good-looking magazines? Hell No. But this one was calling my name ever since it was put on shelves. and that my friends, is good advertising/styling.

Sincerely,
Me

Date Night (Sushi&Fondue)

Date Night Outfit
(Recognize that Shirt & Blazer? Thanks, Target!)

Now this is how you order sushi!
Boyfriend always picks really good rolls...
my faves are the dynamite & spicy octopus rolls

Public Service Announcement:
there are directions listed on recipes for a reason!
Rather than following them, Boyfriend put all of the ingredients into a pot
(much earlier than they were needed)
and they boiled over the edge, and burned to death all over the stove.
needless to say, I had to go back to the grocery store for more ingredients

and had an awkward conversation with the checkout guy that looked a little like this:
Checkout Guy: Weren't you just here?
Me: Yea, my boyfriend and I were going to make fondue, but he didn't read the directions and the ingredients boiled out of the pot & burned all over the stove
Checkout Guy: Oh, I guess that makes sense. I saw the whipping cream
and strawberries and was like, "Hmmm."
*Awkward Pause*
Me: Yea, not so much.

distracting myself with a mini-photo shoot of yours truly.
in my mind I'm thinking:
"Is my boyfriend really that stupid eager?! We should break up.
How did he not read any of the directions before starting to cook?!"

Crushed Raspberries for our Homemade Fondue

White Chocolate
(and how amazing is my turquoise nail polish?)
It's my favorite!
If there is a heaven,
I hope they serve this every night for dessert.
