Happy Monday! I’m already thinking about the upcoming weekend because it’s a holiday weekend and that means two things. It’s a weekend full of parties and BBQ food (i.e. pig out weekend) and it’s a three day weekend! There is nothing that sucks about that. I’ve put together some of my favorite food, fashion, and decor ideas for the July 4th celebration. I hope you guys enjoy! BBQ Food and Drinks: Cocktails are always fun at a party, but I especially love this Strawberry Daiquiri. Daiquiris are the perfect kind of drink to keep cool and the color coordinates with a red, white and …

Sweet and Salty Cookies
Are you a fan of the Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel? If yes, then get ready to be excited because they just announced their Christmas in July movie schedule! I’m a total sucker for Christmas movies, so rest assured that I’ll be catching most of them next month. Who am I kidding? I’m sure I’ll watch them all even if I’ve seen them ten times. With Christmas on the brain, I thought I’d whip up some cookies. You know, because cookies are THE thing to bake at Christmas time. Yes, this is me trying to justify making cookies right now …
Best… Scones… Ever
Here’s the fourth installment in my Best Ever series! What’s it all about? Click here to get all the deets. Today I’m sharing with you the Best… Scones… Ever.

They are crumbly but moist and absolutely delicious. …
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
TGIF! Guys, I’m so glad that this week is over. This week I had a root canal. Surprisingly, it wasn’t actually as bad as I thought it would be. The bad part was that my dentist began the procedure last week but he couldn’t reach all of my roots so he had to sent me to an endodontist. The pain was way, way worse last week. Apparently I have curved roots which makes them difficult to get at but thankfully the endodontist was able to get at them and the root canal procedure was a success. I’m not done yet though. …
Stuff I’m Into: What’s In My Bag
Happy Monday! Tina’s Chic Corner got a little face lift yesterday and has a new background. Do you guys like it? I’m doing a little something different today and sharing with you what I typically have in my bag. A year or two ago I would have never thought to do this because I assumed that no one would care. I follow a number of bloggers and some of them (mostly fashion bloggers) have shared what’s in their bag. I love reading those posts because I think it’s a great way to get know the person behind the blog. I …
