Happy Halloween with Alize' Gold Passion Liqueur and "31st & Midnight"!!!

Friday, October 29, 2010

 Its the Halloween weekend and I know the kids will be having alot of sugar-induced fun! But what about the adults?!?!

Here's a drink I call  "31st & Midnight" featuring Alize' Gold Passion Liqueur!
 What you will need:

-Alize' Gold Passion Liqueur
-Bolthouse Mango Lemonade or Lemonade of your choosing
-Red Grenadine
-Black and Orange Sprinkles
-a glass or  cup
-a shaker ( I used a styofoam cup to mix my ingrediates)
 1) I prepped my wine goblet with black and orange sprinkles by wetting the rim and dipping and rolling the rim of the glass around in the sprinkles....
 2) I poured about a half a cup of Bolthouse Mango Lemonade in the cup with some ice. I eyeballed all the ingrediates but if you a measurement person...a cup of lemonade will do!
 3) I eyeballed the Alize Gold Passion to my liking. I can take strong drink so the more...the merrier!!! LOL! ( its was probably a ounce and half/ a shot and 1/2)
 4) About two tablespoons of Grenadine to make the mixture orange.....
 5) Stir and strain.....
 And here's your "31st & Midnight"!
Yassssss!!!!

Happy Halloween Cuzins!!

Thursday, October 28, 2010



October 28, 2010 is National Chocolate Day....so....

Happy Chocolate Day!!

I'm celebrating by introducing you all to Chocolate.com a website that features handmade, artisan, and gourmet chocolate gifts from world-class chocolate vendors. We bring together the chocolate chef and the gift buyer to form a unique marketplace.

Chocolate.com is based in Boston but works with local vendors in your area to bring you the best and freshest chocolate around.  So, when you order from Chocolate.com, your chocolate will come from a Chocolatier close to you. The website has an amazing array of products, from cakes, cookies, and types of chocolate( like kosher, vegan, gluten free).







I received my Chocolate Truffles from the The Secret Chocolatier in Charlotte NC ( I live a little over an hour away:)) Every thing came carefully packaged in ice packs and the chocolate was not disturbed by the shipping at all....

This 6-piece truffle sampler was DIVINE HAPPINESS!!! I love every creamy morsel. Every piece was a evenly sweet and gorgeously delightful...I literally wanted to hug the person who made these. LOL! Those six pieces were not enough! I was craving more. I would need a BIG box. Big Girls, Big Boxes.:)

Visit Chocolate.com right now to order chocolate goodies, especially for the holiday approaching where chocolate is the perfect gift. Right now, I'm going to celebrate National Chocolate Day with a Hershey's Chocolate Sundae Pie from Burger King because I've eaten ALL my truffles from Chocolate.com WAYYYY before October 28:).

Fresh Coat: Hard Candy Just Nails in Sky...

Wednesday, October 27, 2010

When I saw Hard Candy Just Nails in Sky in Wal-Mart, I was instantly mentally transported back to the day I discovered Sephora in SouthPark Mall in 1996 in Charlotte. I remember walking in there and instantly feeling like I found a home.lol!

I totally remember Hard Candy and Sky polish ( just like I remember buying Tony& Tina Body Glitter and Shower Gels, it was the 90s!! Woo-hoo!). It was always sold out, but I had a bottle that I barely used. Years later, I saw a old crusty bottle of it in a TJ Maxx but didnt buy it.

Check out the history behind Sky according to Hard Candy's Wikipedia page:


Hard Candy is an American cosmetics company, founded in 1995 by Iranian American sisters, Dineh and Pooneh Mohajer and Benjamin Einstein.
The company's first product was nail polish that Dineh mixed herself - a shade of baby blue named "Sky" to match her sandals. In that same year, actress Alicia Silverstone appeared on Late Night with David Letterman and, when asked about her pastel blue fingernails, replied, "It's 'Sky' by Hard Candy," causing an overnight explosion for the brand.[citation needed] A mere 18 months later the brand was quoted as generating $10 million a year in a Forbes ad featuring Dineh.



Thank God its back and it all places, Wal-Mart. I bought two bottles, well I bought the ONLY two bottles there.
 Pretty.!!! Great Formula...this is three coats plus a coat of Seche Vite.

I thought I had something close to color in it in L'Oreal High Tide but High Tide is a grey base and a silver micro shimmer whereas Sky is lighter with a iridescent shimmer.


Have you picked up Sky?
