The Sandal That Goes Everywhere!

If you’re looking to add a platform sandal to your shoe rack, I’ve found the perfect pair! My Steve Madden Bandi Platform Wedge Sandals traveled to Hawaii, Orlando and Arizona this year, where I put several miles on them. They surpassed all comfort expectations.

They run true to size. If in-between, size up.

Chocolate Drizzled Pomegranate Seeds Recipe <3

2016-01-24_15-24-09

The first time I made these scrumdiddlyumptious treats was for Valentines Day, but now I make them every time I pass by pre-peeled pomegranate seeds at the grocery! If you’ve never tried peeling your own pomegranate I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s worth the extra price of buying them ready to go.

CHOCOLATE DRIZZLED POMEGRANATE SEEDS

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1 cup melted dark or milk chocolate
  • 12 mini muffin cups

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Pour melted chocolate in a ziplock bag and cut a small slit in one corner.
  2. Drizzle a small amount of chocolate to cover the bottom of a muffin cup.
  3. Top with 1 tablespoon pomegranate seeds.
  4. Drizzle chocolate over seeds.
  5. Repeat steps 2-4 for the remainder of your muffin cups.
  6. Store in the refrigerator

ENJOY!

A Fresh New Handbag!

I went to Target to pick up household essentials today and left with a few extra pretty little things. Does anyone else have this problem? One of those pretty little things was this Laser Cut Tote Handbag by A New Day. It’s gorgeous in person, and I just found it marked down to $27.99 (reg. $34.99) online! It comes with a detachable zippered insert. I’m still in shock that something so cute is under $30. The matching wallet is $11.99.

Fancy Nancy and the Winning Dress….

Time slow down! This weekend my daughter went to her fourth daddy-daughter dance. It never gets old. Her excitement and anticipation grows each year. It’s a big deal when you get to wear blush and dance the night away with your daddy!

We found E’s dress at Nordstrom over a year ago, and it’s been a front runner in her closet for any fancy outing or dress up day at home. I just searched and it is still available for $30! The quality is excellent. Contrary to what Nordstrom has listed, the dress runs true to size or slightly large. I would advise ordering your normal size and not sizing up.

She was so proud to be a princess for the night and with her daddy by her side.
