Here’s a list of my beach side/pool essentials: Sunscreen. I’m a fanatic when it comes to protecting my skin so I lather up with lots of sunscreen. I’ve been using Banana Boat Sport sunscreen for years and love it because it’s not greasy or “lotion-y” feeling. I also use Aveeno sunscreen for my face. You can certainly use the Banana Boat on your face but I prefer using something that is specifically designed for the face. I don’t think that’s strictly necessary. My husband uses Banana Boat on his face and it works just fine. I also use Banana Boat sunscreen lip balm because my lips …
Triple Berry Pie
Mmm pie. Do I start all my post about pie that way? I don’t remember. I have mixed emotions about pies. I love, love, love to eat them, so let’s set that straight. However, I’m not necessarily a fan of making them because it’s a bit of a process for me. Did I cut the fruit the right size? Do I have too much fruit? Do I have too little fruit? Did I roll the crust the right size to fit the pan? Is the pie done cooking? How about now? Am I taking it out too early? Did the filling thicken …
Summer Salad
Without a doubt my favorite summertime veggie is corn on the cob. I could probably eat corn on the cob everyday. I guess that’s not a bad thing since it’s a vegetable and it being healthy and all. My husband is piping up to mention that corn isn’t really a vegetable, even if it is in the vegetable section of the grocery store. Fair warning, I miiight inundate you with corn recipes over the next few weeks. I’m sorry in advance. Although if you love corn as much as I do then you’ll thank me. 😉 I just found out that …
S’more Cookie Bars
What’s the first dessert that comes to mind when you think of summer? For me, it’s a s’more. Le’ts address the elephant in the room first. For all my life I’ve called it a s’mores. To be clear I thought it was like deer or moose. I thought s’mores was both singular and plural. Wikipedia has now corrected me. It’s a s’more (no “s” at the end). I learn something new everyday. 😉 If you’re my husband (the Pixar fan) then you may also refer to them as schmoes. Okay, back to your regularly scheduled program. Desserts. Summer desserts. How …
Stuff I’m Into: July 4th Inspiration
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 …
