Friday Five

Another week has come and gone and February is in full swing! My month has been simply delightful and was only made better last night when I finally met the one and only Muffy Martini; what a dream come true! With Valentine's day and my birthday just around the corner the month continues to be packed with fun too. I hope you have had a delightful week as well and cheers to it being FRIDAY!

The Vow/Screenings

I LOVED this movie; it was so, so, SO good! My only complaint was that it could have been longer. The Vow is a must see in my book!

*Many of you have emailed me about going to screenings of movies. I got on a list for my area about two years ago where I learn about pass pick-ups and screening contests. Many areas offer similar programs of free advance screenings. However, be advised that you might end up waiting in line for hours to see a movie which is not always worth it to me. If there is something I am dying to see (The Help, The Vow) Melissa and I plan accordingly and get there early to ensure we will be admitted.

Graphic Image Winter Sale

It is no secret that I am a fan of all things Graphic Image and they are so kind to sponsor so many fabulous reader giveaways too. My iPad case is my most coveted item I have purchased and I am currently eyeing their cozies now.... Graphic Image is hosting their annual SUPER sale with deals galore being added every week. Use the code KAPPA to recieve a special gift with any and every purchase AND 20% off your entire order too!

Macarons

I took a stab at making my very first batch of macarons this week. I plan to do a full how-to post, but wanted to give you a sneak peek of my end result. These were SO much easier to make than I had anticipated and took half as long as I thought they would. If you have been warned about how difficult they are (as I had been by countless people) be reassured that if you follow a good recipe (I think the key is baking them with the oven partially ajar) you will have a delightful sweet treat at the end!

Birthday Headband

I saw these FUN headbands when I was at a local pharmacy this week and fell in LOVE. I researched Fiddlesticks and found out they have a wide array of festive headbands for each and every holiday. I think the birthday headbands have my name written all over them and just in time for the BIG 2-7!

Valentine's Treats

It is time to spoil loved ones with all things PINK and SWEET! I am making a handful of goodies this weekend to hand out with my Crush cans and Minted macaron valentine's, but could not resist picking up a box of pink sweets for Muffy yesterday! Mmm, mmm good and pretty too.
