Five Things

November 19th, 2010

{Clementines that smell as good as they taste}

It seems as though these past few weeks have simply flown by and I’ve had zero time to relax.  Luckily it’s supposed to rain all weekend (fingers crossed!) so I’ll be forced to lounge around in pajamas, bake cookies with friends and try to perfect my wintery cocktail (here’s the one I made for summer).  I have a magazine shoot on Monday at my apartment so I’m hoping that everything will be close to ready so I can finally start sharing entire rooms on my blog.  Until then, here are five things currently making me happy.

    I hope your weekend was as relaxing as you wanted it to be.
    Gotta love new magazines and ice skating by the beach sounds like an oxymoron! Clementines are a fave fruit of mine too!
