I know you can have liquor cocktails and drug cocktails but I'm not much into either, so I prefer one of my favorite nightly rituals: The bubble bath cocktail. Ever since I was a kid, a steaming hot bubble bath has been able to cure me of any problem, whether it's physical or emotional. I've never been a great sleeper, and this nighttime tradition calms me before sleep because of the heat of the water and the soothing scent of lavender.
I never know what to do with the extra pumpkin puree that I have lying around after recipes like this pumpkin bread. I was making my smoothie the other day and perusing my refrigerator when a light bulb went off. Why of course, pumpkin smoothies!
This smoothie is so deliciously sweet and seasonal plus you get tons of Omega-3s in the flax seeds and almond butter.
Sometimes I get intimidated by other fashion bloggers. They have fabulously posh styles and are always flaunting the latest from top designers. It's hard to be a player in that game when that's not really how I roll. My style is clean, New England, preppy, colorful, and those qualities aren't necessarily considered "fashionable" to most people.
Last night, we spent most of the night watching the weather channel and in line at Whole Foods stocking up on water, beans, and other non-perishables. I've never seen so many people at a grocery store. It was insanity! I felt a strong urge to make something warm and comforting to brace us for the storm due to hit us today.
