The other day I made the most delicious red velvet cookie bars! They are the perfect dessert to give to someone for Valentine’s Day.  Or in my case #treatyourself. Trust me, once you have a taste of this yummy-gooey piece of heaven, you will not want to share it with anyone else.  

Ingredients
1 roll Pillsbury refrigerated chocolate chip cookies
1 box red velvet cake mix
2/3 cup melted unsalted butter
2 eggs
Powdered sugar, if desired
Heat oven to 350 degree. Spray 8-inch pan with baking spray with flour.
With lightly floured fingers, break up cookie dough into pan. Press evenly to form crust.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. 
In a medium size bowl, beat cake mix, melted butter and eggs. Whisk until well combined.
Spread cake batter evenly over the partially baked crust. Return to over to bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely for about 45 minutes.

The snow is falling, my skin is casper white, and I am dreaming of a beach vacation. What I would give to be laying-out with the sun on my skin and a drink in my hand right now. As I dream of this need-to-be-planned-very-soon vacation and becoming a bronzed goddess, I am starting to make a “what to pack” list.  A sunshine vaca isn’t a real vaca without a new bikini ,  cover-up, and Jack Rogers. Every summer I use COOLA Sunscreen, a natural organic cream that has a light feel on my skin and does not cause break-outs. Besides not moving from my beach towel for hours, my “to-do” list entails lots of relaxing and reading on my iPad. And in case some handsome man ask me to join him on his boat (hey, it could happen!), the ultimate nautical look with this striped tee, Panama hat, and shorts

Finding an outfit for nights out with friends or date nights can be a little difficult. How many times have you stood in front of your closet full of clothes thinking (and silently crying) that you have nothing to wear? I  know I do more often than not–miserable. I always seem to gravitate towards the same top and the same pair of pants because I know they work well together. For nights like these I have created 2 different stylish outfit inspirations that will hopefully get you through a frustrating evening and turn it into the over-flow of bubbly and laughter like it is suppose to be!

Weekends just got a little bit more colorful and a lot more comfortable with the new Lilly Pulitzer’s Weekender Jacket and Weekender Pants. I am always looking for something to wear while I am either out running errands or going to and from my workouts. This jacket is easy to throw on and looks so comfortable to wear. Most of my weekend/athletic wear is black, it would be nice to have a few vibrant colors in the mix. The pants look as if I will never want to take them off. Ditch your purse and put your credit card and phone in the hidden zipper, leaving your hands free to carry more shopping bags! Stay tune, for more items (pieces including their signature print) will be added to the new line this coming summer!
