Color Me {Pineapple}


It's been a rainy couple of week's here. The rain is normal for Florida in the summer, but recently it seems excessive. The sun shines for a mere couple of hours during the work day, and that appears to be it as of late. So, with a lack of sunshine and happiness outside, I decided to bring a bit of it to the blog today. Pineapples always bring me to a cheery place where I imagine palms hanging above my head, the sand beneath my feet, a large body of water in front of me and the sun shining bright above. The temperatures are warm without being too hot and there is always a tropical drink not to far away. I wish I could be there right now, but instead I will paint the picture in my head and imagine throwing a rainy day bash that's just the same. Serve up pina coladas, teriyaki pineapple chicken skewers, and decorate with a few fake palms while greeting guests with Hawaiian leis. Sounds like the perfect way to get over the rainy day (or month!) blues if you ask me. It's also a great way to imagine I'm sitting on a beach and not behind my desk today....

Have a sunny Monday!

This Party Inspired By {Summer Blues}

Yes, I'm fully aware it's the middle of winter, but I have been overcome by a longing for warmer temperatures and bright shades of turquoise. Never the fan of cold weather (I'm notorious for not wearing a jacket and claiming "Oh I'll be fine."), we are only through December and I'm counting the days till summer. The inspiring, bright shades of turquoise that remind me of crystal clear waters, are ideal for a winter blues party. Throw a bash completely inspired by summer to brighten up the dull mood of you and your friends from being stuck inside during the cold months. Serve tropical drinks, wear hula skirts, and imagine the sun warming your skin!
