We went to a chef’s dinner at a local restaurant where they paired a craft cocktail with each course. The drinks were amazing and the chef said it was his simple syrup. He made several varieties of simple syrup and they added such a great flavor to the drinks, I was inspired to make my own! Read more to see how EASY these are to make and the fun drink recipes that go along with them!
Holiday Decorating – you either love it or hate it. Personally, I love it, although I admit, it can be a bit overwhelming. I used to always wait until after Thanksgiving to decorate, but the past couple of years, I have started decorating a few weeks before Christmas. By that time my fall decor has been up for several months and I’m just ready for a change! This also allows me to take my time decorating and not feel stressed about the December “to do” list. I wait to hang the stockings and buy the Christmas tree (#team real) until after Thanksgiving. It never truly feels like Christmas until those items are up. While I don’t think I do anything extra special, several of you have been anxious to see a home tour, so without further ado, here it is – amateur pics and all!

I know you guys love Amazon fashion – have you ever ordered their jewelry? I was in need of some new jewelry last spring/summer so thought I would give Amazon a try. I loved the earrings I received and wore them all the time! I even did a post on 10 Statement (but Neutral) earrings under $15. Many are still available and you can read the post here. Looking for a few new pieces for fall and winter, I turned to Amazon again. I am thrilled with the look and quality of everything I ordered and wanted to share! The best part is everything is under $20! These would be perfect for a friend, teacher, or favorite things party, too!
