Lars Collection Launch

Today is the day for the launch of our collaboration with The House that Lars Built and the talented lady behind it all Brittany Jepsen. This collection has been a long time in the making and I can't tell you how much I love the products. They are fun, happy, and sweet with bright colors and, of course, a bit of a Scandinavian design influence. As part of the collection we have launched cake toppers, food picks (like these cute ones below), drink stirrers, wrapping paper, confetti, and confetti balloons

Food Picks

The best part of the launch is that you can take 20% off sitewide on everything from Lars Collection as well as our everyday collection.

 Just enter the code "LARS" when you go to checkout on our site. Click here to shop.

How amazing does everything look all together? It is so beautiful and thematic and would make the most perfect party.

Party Hacks: Red, White, and Blue Colorblock Drink

 

 

Red, White, and Blue Colorblock Drink

I am so excited to be starting a new series called Party Hacks, where we show you some simple and easy tricks you can do to make any occasion more exciting. This month we have a fun patriotic-inspired drink for the 4th of July: Red, White, & Blue Colorblock Drink.

This recipe is actually really simple and looks so fun for a Summer barbecue party!

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE COLORBLOCK DRINK

  • Cranberry Juice (We used both Cranberry Apple and Cranberry Raspberry and loved them)
  • Blue Sugar-free Sports Drink
  • Coconut Drink
  • White Sports Drink
  • Ice

First, we pour in the Cranberry into a fun, tall glass. Pour until you reach 1/4 of the glass, then carefully add ice until the top of the glass. The ice will make the Cranberry layer rise, so don't add too much!

Next, we mixed 1/2 coconut drink and 1/2 white sports drink. We did this because the coconut adds that rich opaque white color and the white sports drink makes it smooth and so that the layers blend well together. It works perfectly! Once the two white drinks are mixed well, pour the mixture very slowly over the top of the ice. If you go to quickly the drink layers will blend. Pour until you reach

Then add the blue sports drink by pouring slowly again over the ice. 

Last, be sure to add a fun drink stirrer, like we did here!  That's it! It is pretty simple and makes a huge impact. I hope you love it!

    Free Elf Printable "Make Work Your Favorite"

    Happy December! December is typically filled with at least a couple of movie nights of ELF at our house. I thought I'd make a little Christmas decor/ motivational poster for my desk! 

    So we have made a little free download for you too!

     

     

    My desk is also never this clean so I felt like this moment should be documented as well. It is usually covered with papers and samples and, frequently, like a million cheerios!  

     

    Click the image below to copy the high resolution image. It is formatted to an 8.5 x 11 inch paper so you can just print it on your home printer and cut it down to size.
