Wassail Sparkler Cocktail Recipe

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you’re having a great week and that you’re enjoying your Holiday season so far. I know for many moms this is a hectic time of year, trying to get everything done while enjoying & also creating the magic of the season. Remember to take a breath, and know that you are your own worst critic. Stop and enjoy all the small moments. 

Here’s a cocktail recipe that is always a hit and will make your entertaining easier.

Wassail Sparkler 

A cocktail that’s a hit at every Holiday party. I love having a yummy “signature cocktail” in a Pitcher for entertaining: It’s an easy way to have a no-host bar. Tip: make it without alcohol for non-drinkers, and keep the alcohol nearby for guests who want to use it. For instance, this cocktail can be served with Champagne, Prosecco, vodka, or rum.

Recipe:

-Trader Joe’sWinter Wassail punch

-Orange Juice Wassail Sparkler 

-Poppi Cranberry Fizz

(Or cranberry juice and sparkling water, or cranberry 7-Up)

-Your favorite Prosecco or champagne (or skip for a non alcoholic cocktail)

-Blood oranges

-Limes

-Cranberries 

-Pomegranate seeds

Garnish with 

Rosemary & a slice of orange

Easy Spicy Jalapeño Margarita Recipe

Recipe below:

-Glass of ice

-1 shot Tequila of your choice (we like Patron or Don Julio)

-Oneshot Elevated Mixers Margarita mix

-1 shot Grand Gala is an orange brandy liqueur or Grand Marnier or Cointreau (These are better options than triple sec)

-Salt for the rim

-Lime sliced for the rim and juice

-2 Jalapeños sliced for muddling (reserve some for cocktail skewers)

-Handful of BlackBerries for muddling (reserve some for skewers)

-Blue Berries for skewers

Directions:

Rim the glass with lime and dip it into salt. Add ice and one shot of Tequila, mix, stir a lime squeeze, and drop in a couple of Jalapeños. Stir (I also like to muddle in blackberries), stir, and float with liqueur. Top with a jalapeño, blackberry, and blueberry skewer.

You can add jalapeño depending on how spicy you like your cocktail. We like it spicy. I’ll muddle 5 to 6 slices in with 1/2 a lime juice. This is when you add some blackberries as well.

Enjoy alone or with my roasted peppers, chips, salsa, and Guacamole.

Pearls & Prosecco Bridal Shower

Pearls & Prosecco Bridal Shower

Hello Pretty ladies,

What an honor to throw my future daughter in LOVE a bridal shower in June.

In honor of the wedding week approaching.. 8/24/24, I wanted to share all the details of this beautiful day celebrating are all the details of this unique shower, What I created, The DIYs, Tips for building a Beautiful event, Ways to save money without sacrificing style, The menu, How to prep, Picking a theme, and Where to shop.

I’ve saved highlights on Instagram (the circles in my bio) of more details, prepping, flower arranging, close-ups of the DIY, etc., and live moments.

It brings me joy to entertain and create events, and it was an honor to be creative for such a special occasion. I enjoy doing this and showing my love through food and entertainment. I hope that shows in all the details.

Today, I am recapping a little bit of the shower and sharing some entertaining tips. I hope you enjoy this Post.

Tables setting 

Table settings set the whole tone and theme of the party. After you’ve settled on the party’s theme, this should be your next focus: picking the linens, the table place settings, flatware, and the stemware. Round or rectangular tables and Chair style. This will help you make the choices for the following steps: The flowers, the decor, the menu, your invitations, and the tables help set the tone of your party.

Round tables/ white wooden chairs

White linens

Gold and white dishes and Gold flatware

Lots and lots of baby’s breath

White flowers/ crystal vases/upon gold chargers

White candles with crystal and gold candlesticks

Pearl strand and loose accents

Diamond Napkin Rings

Gold Champagne buckets on every table 

White and gold place cards

White dual-sided frames with engagement photos

Dessert table

Dessert table: Dessert tables are a fun way to add drama to a party; whatever the theme, you can find candies, treats, and fun display pieces to match your party. I went with an all-white theme for a Pearls & Prosecco Bridal Shower. White desserts and candies were served on all-white serving pieces and stands.

Handmade candies and chocolate treats dipped in pearls. I made these a couple of days before and refrigerated them. I did the strawberries the night before. Getting creative and making a few handmade treats will save you money and create an impact on your dessert table. If you need inspiration, look on Pinterest for ideas that fit your theme. I often make candies and treats. I create them because they are simple to do with store-bought items you dip in chocolate and roll in sprinkles, such as pearls. 

-Pretzel sticks

-Strawberries 

-Rice Krispy treat hearts

-Cherries

-Oreos

– Vanilla wafers

Bakery Items

I wanted to add a focal point dessert, if you will, and thought specialty sugar cookies would make a pretty impact. And who doesn’t love a good sugar cookie? I ordered from one of our favorite local bakeries, Parson’s, in Bountiful. I ordered white sugar cookies with white icing decorated to look like roses, heart sugar cookies dipped half in white chocolate and the other in a white chocolate drizzle. 

Tip: When doing a dessert bar, you do not have to have every item, one per person per item. Not everyone will have dessert, and they rarely take one of everything. If it is a small item, they might have two or three; if it’s a more oversized Item like a full-size cookie, brownie, or cupcake, they’ll have one and maybe a candy. For instance, I order 24 specialty cookies from the bakery with 40 guests. With all the other desserts to choose from, it was the perfect amount. (please remember if you only have one dessert choice, make sure to order 1 for each person attending)

Processo Bar

All champagne flutes rimed white frosting pearls…I created four signature prosecco flutes.

-Clear rock candy= Sparkle Time

 -White cotton candy= Fly High

– Fresh Berry = Berry Pellegrino Mocktail

It’s all about the details.

Details don’t have to cost much; they require creativity and maybe a little DIY. Below, I am sharing some tips, things you can collect to help make your entertaining easier, and places to shop.

Tips: 

-Look through what you have around the house that fits your theme. Maybe you have something that could work, but it needs to be spray-painted.

– Champagne and wine bottles – for vases and candle holders

– Collect serving pieces in white or crystal; this makes creating a beautiful buffet, charcuterie board, or dessert bar easier. 

Shop for out-of-season items or check out sale sections for things that could be used multiple times.

 

Items you will always use for parties, dinners, and events

Candles and candlesticks

Vases

Platters, cake stands (not just for cakes), great risers, perfect for other desserts and great for appetizers 

Frames- for signage photos, and great for party theme art

Linens and napkins

Chargers 

Pearls & Prosecco Bridal Shower

Details that make a difference

Bubble machine $20 a fun detail & impact for entry, especially for pearls and Prosecco theme.. (cute for wedding Bride & groom exit)

Ribbon  

Lighting

Invites & Signage

place cards

food signage

linen napkins and napkin rings

Music-Play list that goes with your theme.

Shopping resources:

Etsy

Amazon

Homegoods

Target

Dollar store

Walmart

Micheals

Zurchers Party store 

Rentals

 

Pearls & Prosecco Bridal Shower

Photo wall backdrop Idea:

A great way to save money is to create your Photowall; I used the items below to make one for this event.

I have a white ruffle shower curtain with gold sequin fabric. Years ago, I purchased a photo backdrop stand and got my money’s worth out of it. I’ve used it for Birthday parties, events, school dances, etc. I own this one HERE.

White, clear & pearl balloons & Gold confetti Balloons to create a balloon feature (I purchased an electric balloon pump) are affordable, and you can use them repeatedly. Purchase it HERE

Strings of pearls mixed in with the balloons.

Party Favors

The Party favors were a pair of Pearl earrings in mini champagne bottles. I purchased the pearl earrings in bulk, hand-punched the earring cards with a scallop paper punch and heavy card stock, and pierced the holes to place the earrings on the card. I added metallic grass to look like champagne placed in bottles and tied with the tag.

Flowers

Tip: You can save a ton of money if you create your flower arrangements or get help from a friend who can. Another huge money saver is purchasing flowers from Trader Joe’s or Costco. They have great flowers at excellent prices. If you live near a flower mart, that is another beautiful option.

What I used:

All white flowers, Hydrendyas, roses, camimile 

Lots of Baby’s breath

I planned this spring when I planted all the pots for our decks, porches, and entryways and potted them with all-white flowers to match the bridal shower theme. Thinking ahead and filling all of our potted plants to match really help

Entertaining

I genuinely love it… the planning, preparation, creating… DIY, shopping, Etc. But it’s a massive amount of work and many long days and nights. Prepping ahead of time makes a huge difference. The more you can do and set up before the event day, the better and easier it will be for you. I have a great list of things you can do before the event and more tips HERE.

Quotes I love

“People will forget what you said. They will forget what you did. But they will never forget how you made them feel.”

Maya Angelou

“Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of an intelligent effort.”

“Hospitality is simply an opportunity to show love and care.”

 

Live life stylishly and look good at any age.

Cheering on the USA  Cocktail Idea

I’m sharing a fun and easy Patriotic Lime & Berry Spritzer. Make it a cocktail or mocktail—either way, it’s festive and yummy. It’s perfect if you’re throwing a closing ceremony party. Something I love about this cocktail is the fruit-filled ice cubes; they are complete and pretty, making cocktails easy. Adding flavor to your ice cubes takes away work later, and you can make several cocktails at a time. 

Patriotic Lime & Berry Spritzer Recipe

Recipe:

Raspberries 

Blueberries 

Mint

Limeade (I like Trader Joe’s sparkling limeade)

Raspberry sparkling water 

White rum 

You’ll need larger ice cube trays; I like the round citrus-shaped ones, an Amazon find I use often. Grab them HERE

Making the Ice Cubes: Fill the trays with raspberries, blueberries, and a mint sprig, then top off with raspberry sparkling water and freeze.

Creating the cocktail:

Place 1 or 2 ice cubes in your glass, add a shot of rum if making a cocktail, pour limeade over, and stir. 

(If you don’t like your cocktails very sweet, use 1/2 limeade and 1/2 Raspberry sparkling water) It’s that easy

To make it a mocktail, add ice cubes and limeade.

If you don’t have Trader Joe’s sparkling limeade, use regular limeade in the freezer section, make it as directed, and then add sparkling water.

Spicy Apple cocktail, A great Fall Cocktail with a kick of spice and a hint of cinnamon, takes this Apple cocktail to the next level. A great drink to serve in the fall, and make a pitcher of it to perform at Thanksgiving. Float apples and cinnamon sticks in the pitcher for a beautiful-looking Fall punch.

Valentines Gifts for Him, Enticing All 5 Senses

Valentines Gifts for Him, Enticing All 5 Senses

Valentines Gifts for Him, Enticing All 5 Senses

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Can you believe January is already more than half over, and Valentine’s day is going to be here before we know it! So I thought it would be helpful to get a couple of gift guides out early to help you get some ideas for your guy. 

Valentines Gifts for Him, Enticing All 5 Senses, Touch, Smell, Sight, Taste, and Hear.

Over the last couple of years, giving a gift that entices all of the 5 senses has been a big trend. So I thought this would be a fun theme for a blog post. Not necessarily to give a gift of each sense, but to create a gift guide theme and have gift ideas for each sense. You could choose to pick something for each sense or one special gift that suits your guy.

Here are some fun themes I  came up with that have the 5 senses of gifts included in the theme gift guide. 

The Homebody, Coffee Lover, Sweet lover, The Cocktail Lover, and The Selfcare lover

Valentines Gifts for Him, Enticing All 5 Senses

 

 

I Asked the Men in my Life some of the things they loved and thought would be fun gifts to get for Valentine’s day, and I threw in a few I thought would be fun to give.  I hope you see something for the Man in your life. Something in every price point as well. 

 

Coffee Lover

 

Sweet lover

 

The Homebody

 

The Cocktail Lover

 

The Selfcare lover

 

Joining me in Sharing “Valentine Gifts for Him”  The Chit Chat Chic girls. Cammi, Lisa, Michelle, and Cindy. You’ll want to pop over to their blogs and see what they’ve chosen as helpful gift ideas.

Cindy= LuLuloves7

Lisa’s= Coast2coast

Michelle= Poised Petite 

Cammi=Cammie’s Happy Place

 

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and read my blog post.  I would love to leave a few of your favorite Picks below in the comments. You can also find me on Instagram, Pinterest, Liketoknowit, Amazon shops, and Facebook.

🍽️my love of entertaining, started in elementary school, For fun I would plan dinners(my mom and I would shop for them & I would cook for my family as well as set the tables pretty, have ready when my family came home. 

I had a mom who taught and shared her love of hospitality, creativity and “grandma hobbies” way before I could fall in love with Martha Stewart as a young teenager in the 80’s..

Not only did I want 17 magazine & vogue, I wanted Martha steward living, better homes and garden, Ina Gardens cook books, and anything made by Ralph Lauren .

I got my real first job at 15 (so I could buy (RL) at the cutest home decor and interiors shop, owned by the most creative and talented lady (Susie), who gave me my love of wallpaper, and playing with pretty things… I was doing her window displays at both her shops by 16… 

🌸So, I guess you could say … yes, I Skipped the midlife crisis, and  I’ve been doing “Grandma Hobbies”  my whole life!

Now… if I could just get someone to teach me Mahjong … I Really need a reason to buy these tortoiseshell scallop tile holders, pretty tiles and set a gorgeous table😉🤣
