Hello fellow Food Adventurers,
I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been a fan of a good snack. One of my favorite things to do is make some homemade tortilla chips with my favorite salsa or — if I’m in a sugary mood — cinnamon sugar ones with fruit dip. Here’s how you can make your own crispy treats! Continue Reading »
Each year, Pantone searches for color influences stemming from entertainment, art, travel, and culture across the globe to choose the color of the year. The color of the year impacts designs in fashion, graphics, and products of every genre. This year, Pantone has chosen Emerald as the 2013 Color of the Year.
The 2012 Color of the Year was Tangerine Tango, a bright and energetic shade of orange. At the announcement of Emerald 17-5641 as the 2013 Color of the Year, many people were a bit thrown off – even angry! Tangerine Tango was so cute and now you’re going to … Emerald? I, for one, have decided to embrace Emerald wholeheartedly. I’ve even made a Pinterest board dedicated to the color! Here’s why:

I look for inspiration for my Manicure Monday designs in a lot of places. Sometimes I think about what events I’ll be attending that week, sometimes I look at what new techniques I’d like to try, and sometimes I just stare at my nail polish collection and hope that something comes to me. Today’s Manicure Monday was totally inspired by a dress I bought. The dress is solid black on top, with sheer, billowy sleeves. The bottom is a flowy, silk black and muted gold chevron pattern. I loved the pattern of the skirt so much that I created this week’s Manicure Monday from it!
If you’ve seen even five minutes of an episode of Modern Family, you know that the show features a colorful cast of characters.

Hello Fellow Food Adventurers,
Today I’m going to show you how to easily embellish any cocktail or drink you’re serving. These are great to float in martinis like a Cosmo or to put on the side the a glass of a strawberry daiquiri. I’ve also used these when I make someone I love breakfast-in-bed and I always top my waffles, pancakes, or french toast with them. Its just a cute way to incorporate little bits of your love in your food.
