splendid.

Happy Friday darlings. 

This past week has been full of a few highs and lows, but I'm thrilled to be embarking on a new venture next week. 

Have a splendid weekend.

Happy weekend my dolls. It's time for a whisky sour, my feet up and time with my friends. 

After a busy week, I'm very pleased with the progress made on many of my projects - updates coming soon. 

In the meantime, soak up the weekend and see y'all on Monday. 

daiquiri.

I have been loving the recipe videoes on Bon Appetit's website - they have everything from baking to dinners to cocktails, and show the step by step process of creating the bit or bite.

This one caught my eye the other day, and has left me longing for those sweet summer rays. I know it's only January, but I'm definitely done with winter and ready for some warmth.

Nothing quite says spring and summer to me like a good lime drink, and daiquiris happen to be my favourite. Not the kind that comes in a huge glass and basically tastes like a strawberry slushie. I'm talking about the simple, non-blended version.

Here's Bon Appetit's video recipe for the classic cocktail below. I'm already on the hunt for some retro glasses to serve it up in when the heat rises...

cart.

After how crazy it was trying to find an apartment this past September, it's hard to believe it's already been three months since I moved into my humble (new) abode.

After a few weeks of sleeping on an air mattress and using a dumpster-dive speaker as a chair, I saved up, put out the cash and have a furnished place. Hey, there's even a touch of art on the walls!

From here on out, it's all about the details. Those little items that are the "icing" to an apartment. They aren't essentials, but as I live here, I'm seeing places where I could put something.

There's a little section of the wall next to my kitchen that is screaming at me to make into a mini bar.
Thus, the hunt for a bar cart has begun.
