Dedicated.. to the one I love.

Tomorrow is my Nicko's Birthday! He's turning the big 26. I am throwing a Grand Birthday Event! So, today, I'm going to share with you the receipe of one of his favorite drinks. I say new becuase before me, he didn't order this all the time. But now he likes it... as do I!

3 oz gin
5 oz tonic water
1 lime wedge
Glass full of water ice, or tonic water ice

Pour the gin and the tonic water into a highball glass almost filled with ice cubes. Stir well. Garnish with the lime wedge.

OK, now you are thinking... If you don't have a shotglass with oz on it, you can fill up the glass with ice, start pouring your tonic water and start counting... count 1 2 then on 3 you use your other hand to start pouring the gin. When you get to 5 you stop pouring both. You should be to the rim of the glass by the time you get to 5. Make sure you have an even and steady pour of both liquids. Most people like to garnish the drink with the lime wedge, but I actully squeeze two lime's in, rather than one.

Gin's to think about:
Tanqueray
Beefeater
Bombay


There you go! Our favorite drink! Hope you enjoy, and have a safe weekend.

Because It's True...

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? ... See MoreActually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ---Marriane Williamson

Jeremy Scott - Fashion Icon of the week

I love how ideas start in your head, and you get inspired, and suddenly they are right before your eyes. Different people are inspired by different things, Jeremy Scott, for example has a very huge imagination. His collections have been inspired by simple things like food, to mickey mouse, and street signs, and trash. The models with his clothing make the runways tremble with the most outragious clothing. Here is the latest that he has done... reminds me of 60's Barbie turned 2010 fashion Icon. Enjoy.

i heart you day!

There you were driving towards the direction I was coming from. I had noticed you at the same moment that I was thinking about you... was this my imagination playing tricks on me? No, it wasn't. I yelled out "THAT'S NICK!" and my step dad turned the car around without second thinking it. I called you on my phone.... you answer with your sweet voice and I softly say "Do you love me?" You reply without hesitation "More than you know." But I do know, because there you were, I asked you where you were, and you wanted to know why I asked. "Becuase I saw you!" I say with a big smile in my face and tone of voice. We meet at the Starbucks, you, my prince were there with a sparkling smile, ready to greet me, and my parents.


Thank you baby for the awesome Valentines Day Gifts and adventure!
