Coconut and Berry Pops

It's hard to believe that June is right around the corner and summer will be here before we know it!  So to start off summer early here's a super easy and sugar-free popsicle recipe.  Hope you'll have fun making them as much as I did.

Printable Recipe
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of coconut milk
2 cups frozen berries (whatever type you like, I used a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
2 tablespoons good quality honey
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)

Directions:
Combine everything in a food processor and pulse until completely smooth.  Pour into frozen pops mold.
If you have time, make batches of individual berry flavors and freeze them in stripes using a bit of plain coconut milk between the layers.

Do or Don't White Polish

Recently I spotted alot of white nail polish on Instagram and magazines.  John joked that it looks like white-out, but it feels so clean and modern for spring/summer.  Would you try it?

For steak-free white nail polish, here's what you need to do:

1. Apply a good base coat.
2. Carefully apply just three stroke of polish, one down the middle and one on each side.
3. In between layers of white polish, apply a base coat this will help minimize any residue streaking from your last coat of polish.
4. Now apply your second coat of white polish.
5. Paint on a shiny topcoat.

'Tis the Season

It's that time of year again! And I love it!!
 There's nothing quite like the cozy feeling of Christmas decorations for me:) 

 We took out all of the decorations on Thanksgiving Day, but I'm still working on everything put together.  Here's a little preview of what I have going on so far!

I'll update you again with full pictures of everything once it's done.  Hopefully that will happen by next week or so! Do you have your house decorated for Christmas yet? DSC_7005 DSC_7026 DSC_7022 DSC_6990 DSC_6994 DSC_7002 DSC_7000 DSC_7017 DSC_6993 DSC_6997 

 I kept it simple this year, and didn't buy anything new. Okay...just a box of gold ornaments from Target. Does that even count?
