Friday Five {Go for the Gold}

With the Olympics right around the corner, I've been drawn to all things gold.  Something about the yellow metal seems to feel decadent and celebratory.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Did you see that Michelle Kwan's husband is running for Governor of Rhode Island?  Of course, this made wonder what she has been up to since her days on the ice.  My goodness, that girl is accomplished!!

For the first time ever I am actually excited about the Superbowl!  The Broncos and Seahawks were both the "regional" teams growing up.  It also seems like the players for both teams have a lot of character on and off the field.

This Bees Knees cocktail looks refreshing and easy to make during the winter months.

I received so many nice comments about the "I Love Your Hair Will You Marry Me" print from this post.  It was actually a house warming gift from a very kind friend who happens to know that complementing my locks guarantees eternal love.  It is one of the most complimented pieces I own!!!

The ladies at Read Between The Lines were really amazing and made sure every detail was special and unique. 

The Mere 27

I have a lot of love languages.

How I show love.  How I feel loved.  Things that fill my love tank.

Wine.  Laughter.  Texts with more than three words.

Refilling my water glass. GChatting.  Handwritten cards.

Birthday celebrations may have the most caloric and nutritional value when it comes to filling up my cup.

And let me tell you, after this birthday, my tank is full, the cup is running over, and, I am ready for the adventures this year has in store.  

While I plan on sharing recipes and details from my party in the next week or two, I wanted to kick off the series with my signature drink. The Mere 27!
