So, here you are... I currently adore and recommend:
- the vanilla boxed cake mix from Trader Joe's. If you don't have a TJ's near you, I am so so sorry because I made this last night and it is the best box mix I have ever used. You can see the little flecks of real vanilla in it and it tastes amazing!
- remembering to take a little time for yourself
- winning something! I won Tea Party Designs facebook fan giveaway and I was totally blown away by the prize. I really only expected a little something since I know it takes a lot to run a small business, but I got an adorable gift box full of summer fun. Check out the Melonade mix, whole set of Iced Tea glasses, tea cookies, Lemonheads (a fav of mine), little whisk, and cute little card. I have to thank the owner of Tea Party Designs again for her generosity!
- doing something nice for someone that you love just because you love them and they are awesome. I surprised my husband with something special last weekend and I think I was as happy about it as he was!
- the Urban Craft Center in Santa Monica, CA. I just found this place thanks to Groupon (which I also totally adore) and I was able to take a class there last week. I haven't had access to a sewing machine since my dad taught me to use one when I was in high school and this teacher had me making a totally respectable and super-cute hobo bag over a really fun two evening class. If you live in the L.A. area you should totally check it out! The beige, brown, and green bag is mine and the other one is the work of another wonderful student from the class.
So, there are some fun things for you to peruse and enjoy. Wishing everyone summer fun and the best of everything!
