Love DAY

Many people loath this day while I love it. I really love any Holiday, I just like getting festive! 

This Valentine's Day I was more inspired than ever with my issue of Martha Stewart Living at hand. Thanks Grams! She had so many amazing ideas that were of course DIY and featured one cookie that I just had to try. The perfect couple, Peanut Butter and Jam, make a baby baby: The Peanut Butter and Jam Heart Cookie.  This cookie starts off like any other however mid way through you use your thumb to indent a heart that you eventually fill with Jam. Recipe can be found in her February issue. 

The final product! 

I found that the deeper the heart shape the better the jam sits and the better it looks! 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY LOVES!

Good for the soul

There are many ways people try to beat the winter blues. It's hard to wear rose coloured glasses while just wanting to crawl under your comforter and wake up to Spring. Shopping is a good way to pick up your spirits (always) but it took something different this week to keep me smiling. Fresh flowers. 

1. Peonies

2. Orchids

3. Lilacs

These may not be my top 3 however they are flowers that immediately brighten my day. I love having fresh crop in my apartment. I thought this was just me yet it turns out after reading February's Martha Stewart Magazine that it is a proven fact. It's a great inexpensive way to lift your spirits.  

Although there still may be snow on the ground, these mums that I picked up from the grocery store bring little sunshine into my day.

On the wrist

Put a bow on it. Put a bow anywhere for that matter, well you know, in the right anywheres. 


In these photos the bows seem a little bit large and tacky but perfectly paired with some boyfriend jeans, simple tee and some sick heels I think  it's the perfect feminine touch. My choice would be the nude patent.
