i've got a hive full of honey...

This is probably one of my favorite scenes from "Calamity Jane" I love to reenact. It is hilarious.

spring fever on the tumblr

Whenever I come across a new tumblr that has so many things I love (i.e., food food food), my mind wanders back to this tweet from Donald Glover a while back.

the pause that refreshes

what to do with my growing collection of argo iced tea glass bottles? fill them with cashews, miscellaneous snacks, and use them for either water or making refreshing cold tea in the mornings.

jumping the gun

It's only March, but I've already switched to summer scents, despite my common sense. But who cares? The weather as of late has been sunny (with bits of rain here and there) and for the most part, in the 70's. Usually I use Bobbi Brown's "Beach" during the summer, but I passed by Bath & Body Works this weekend, which I haven't been to in a few years. I happened to come across a mango scent and was immediately taken back to my college days when I wore a specific discontinued mango scent every single day from spring through summer. It made me so nostalgic, I had to pick it right up again to start wearing immediately. Summer is back (scent-wise, at least)!

sunday flashback

Sade's "Love is Stronger Than Pride" is one of my favorite songs of hers. I had forgotten how much I loved it until I came across a cover on YouTube. This song is perfect to listen to late at night, especially if it's raining. So cliché, I know. But it really is a beautiful song, especially once you understand it and have the patience to appreciate the slow build.

dreams

I've finally found a picture that almost exactly matches the type of house I want to live in one day (although it looks like it may just be a pool house, but I don't mind). A little cottage or a bunaglow with a little pool and patio area for evening dinners. Pink flowers, of course. I would like a one-story, but I wouldn't mind two stories either. Here's to dreaming!

Rough Week

FAT KID MOMENT: Did you know that eating mini peanut butter cups with fresh strawberries is like Valentine's Day in your mouth?

I call this recipe "Poor Man's Valentine".
