Is this weather driving anybody crazy in their neck of the woods? 55 degrees today, dreary and rainy and back to 30's next week. Either be winter or get Spring here like the groundhog said it would be, lol. This illustration got me thinking about magazines. Do you like to read magazines? I love to', but for the past couple years rarely do as so busy. However, it's time to attack the pile high on the table consisting of People, Better Homes and Gardens, Glamour and HGTV magazines. I plan to riffle through and find ispiration from more than just the internet. Growing up my reading consisted of Judy Blume, Charlotte Bronte and John Benton books, and Seventeen Magazine issues stacked from floor to ceiling.
It was the bible of my teen years!!

1. Sex on a Snowbank Martini
My dear friend Laura sent me this Cocktail Pin this week and I so put coconut cream on the grocery list! I have always loved the Sex on the Beach cocktails so why the heck not one on a snowbank too!! The name alone is hilarious and the fact it's only 3 ingredients,
I'm in...even if all our snow melted today.
1 1/2 ox Malibu Rum
3 Tbsp Coconut Cream
6 ice cubs

Place ingredients together in a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Pour into a chilled martini glass
Note: If you want a thicker consistency, use less ice and more coconut cream.
For a really fancy drink, coat the rim of the glass with finely shredded coconut!
You won't find coconut on the rim of mine or Laura's glass...we think it tastes like grass, lol!!
But white chocolate shavings....Yum!!

2. Lionel Richie Tribute
The "Hello" before Adele and Demi Levoto slayed it. And it didn't hurt Luke Bryan sans a song for the tribute too! We didn't watch all the Grammy's but this was my favorite part of the night.
3. Chic Ways to Wear Graphic Slogan Tops
I own a handful of graphic tops. One of my favs here...
Well, because I love pink and the movie Mean Girls
Top from Kohl's, Shoes Dolce Vita
After I saw my friend Kim in her "Be Nice Please" sweatshirt, I started thinking about how cutely styled some of these tops can be.

She rocks this look so well!!
Isn't this little fashionista adorable?!! I especially love the cute slogan tees on little girls.
4. Sophia Kinsella Books
For several years now, I’ve been buying, reading and rereading Sophie Kinsella’s book saga ‘The Shopaholic Series’.
For several years now, I’ve been buying, reading and rereading Sophie Kinsella’s book saga ‘The Shopaholic Series’.
The series follows sweet Becky as she deals with falling in love, marriage, family, children, friendship, housing issues, and all of this alongside a pretty serious, yet hilarious shopping addiction. Becky is definitely a friend you want to have though because she's got the biggest heart. I relate to her shenanigans so much and find myself laughing out loud! I preordered a paperback yesterday and I'm so excited for it to arrive in a few weeks. Every now and then you just need a light read, and
Sophia Kinsella books are always that for me.
