Be Better Blog

It’s a mish-mosh sorta day around here…so I thought I’d compliment my scatterbrainedness with a mix-ey little post. 

To start it off right…a new cocktail. Since it IS a Friday and all.

Asian Sensation: (makes 4 cocktails)

• -1 Asian Pear
• -Handful of Fresh Blueberries
• -4 servings of vodka
• -Club Soda
• -Dash of Grated Fresh Ginger

In a blender, combine your diced up pear, blueberries and ginger…blend well until it makes a liquid. Mix together the vodka and your fruit smoothie concoction. Pour over ice and top with soda. Garnish with a sword of fresh blueberries! 

BE PRETTY:

I’m always looking for the perfect red lipstick and finally found my beauty soulmate in Loreal’s Infallible “Beyonce Red”. After being happy with this lil’ find, I started on the hunt for the perfect bright pink lipstick…matte, deeply pigmented, and not TOO expensive. Also, not looking like hooker Barbie is helpful.

Well ladies, I found it. NARS Super Matte in Carthage…run, don’t walk to your nearest beauty retailer for this gem. 

GO SHOP:

In my shopping finds this week, I hesitantly ordered a new notebook from Minted. On their site, you can customize super cute designs with colors, photos, and text. I was worried that the quality would suck big time since the journals are only $16 but I was more than happy with mine! Take a look.

A BETTER LOVER:

I got a few messages from readers asking what I did for V-day since I did what seemed like a ranty post.

I actually spent the night drinking virtual cocktails (about 6 of the one listed in this post) with the boyfriend…on Skype. Oh, the joys of long distance…BUT it was a great Valentine’s. I hope you all had a great day, whatever you did! Below, a sneak peek into our little date.

Hears to hoping this weekend doesn’t suck and is as totally rad as a three-day weekend should be!
