How to make Vodka Gummy Bears. (Thirsty Thursday)
My candyland bday party is 10 days away & what better thing to serve than gummy bears soaked in alcohol?! I looked online at some different ways to make them & honestly it’s very basic.
1. Put gummy bears in a glass container.
2. Fill the container with vodka so all the gummies are covered.
3. Make sure to seal the container & keep in the fridge for 5-10 days, stirring them every so often.
& that’s it! All the vodka should be soaked up & the gummies should have swelled a bit. I’m using ‘UV Blue’ but regular vodka is fine, as well. You can also add juice concentrate after they’re in the fridge for a few days to give it extra flavor, but that’s really up to you.
Mine are soaking now.. I’ll update this post on how magical they turned out in 10 days!

Why don’t they teach us this in school?!?!?

Sweet Outfit – Miranda Kerr
I found these piccies of model Miranda Kerr today, & I love this look…
It’s simple yet really chic & a cute everyday look. The zipper on the sleeve is my fave! & the scarf, & the bag, & the boots, haha.

Candyland Birthday Party Inspiration
My birthday is soon approaching! (2 weeks & 4 days! Yes, I’m one of those annoying people who counts down the days…) I’ve started a tradition of throwing a huge house party every year for my birthday. This year I couldn’t decide between certain themes, so I asked my family, friends, & fb, and thanks to everyone’s opinion I decided to throw a kick ass CANDYLAND party!
For my party I’m not going to focus so much on the characters from the game because I’m turning 24, not 12. I’m mainly pulling inspiration from the bright colors & candies/sweets. A friend of mine suggested watching ‘Katy Perry’s – California Girls’ video & that gave me all the inspiration I needed. (‘Fergie – Fergalicious’ is a good one!)
So can I tell you how much I love this inspiration board?! It’s frkn magical…
I’m so excited to plan and decorate off of this board. I’ll be sharing my ‘planning process’ of my party here, so stay tuned!

Aja’s ‘September’ Release Party & NEW Stickers!
Hey lovers! Last night I attended an album release party for an up & coming singer/songwriter, Aja, & her new EP, “September.” The first 50 ladies were given free gift bags & in each was a new sticker I designed that will be sold in the store very soon!
I love seeing and supporting other woman who are working towards their dreams so I decided to use the quote, “She believed she could, so she did.” It’s one of my FAVORITES because it’s extremely inspiring yet simple.
Of course, I had camera issues so I ended up snapping a few pictures from the party on my phone.
& check out one of the songs from Aja’s new album, called “Breakin Up” here!
