Let The Countdown Begin...

In just one week, I will be here! Can't wait...

Why?

The Bachelorette continues to baffle me. Why Jillian, why would you keep Wes around after all of the shady things that he's done?!? You need to get over the younger-man complex, stop being swooned by the accent, and ditch the musician obsession. What you should've done is keep Michael!

Indian Wedding

Have you ever been to an Indian wedding? I never have, but am so intrigued by all the colorful traditions. I'm in love with all of these gorgeous photos from this Indian wedding.

One of my boyfriend's best friends from college is Indian and their group of friends has been eagerly waiting for the day he decides to get married so they can all attend a party of such colorful grandeur.

Little Hermione

Little Hermione is all grown up! Emma Watson, part of Harry Potter's inner circle at Hogwarts, is looking all grown up and lovely. This Teen Vogue photo shoot proves she no longer fits the part the awkward, big-haired little girl they hired to star in the movie series. Hermione and the gang will be gracing the silver screen in a few short weeks for the 6th book come movie - Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

Harry Potter is coming...

Foodie Friday - Root beer

Here's another great root beer recipe - pumpkin pancakes with root beer syrup, apparently root beer is quite the glaze when reduced for 40+ minutes. Depending on how long I sleep in Sunday morning, I may attempt to make these this weekend!

Foodie Friday - Root Beer

It's that time of the week again - the second week of my new blog tradition, Foodie Friday. Lately I've had a serious hankering for some root beer. Something about it, the sweetness, the carbonation, it's a satisfying beverage I just can't ignore. Ever thought to use root beer in cooking? Turns out there's quite a few recipes using this bubbly treat, including spicy root beer and bourbon glazed baby back ribs...yum!
