Look how cute this train is for a party! Planet Interactive in Los Angeles just purchased this new train that can drive around the backyard or a carnival or a fun holiday treat at your xmas party. The kids at the birthday party had a blast oh, and me too!

Hi Friends, I wanted to share a really cute gift idea that I saw being delivered to my manicure shop. I love finding inspiration where ever I go. This gift really kept me thinking about it all day. Something simple yet so mouthwatering delicious. Cari Levin, the owner of Cari In/Cari Out created this wonderful gift tray of fresh plain yogurt, homemade granola and perfect mixed berries. She placed it so beautifully in a wine crate for all to enjoy at their leisure. A wonderful Holiday gift a wonderful anything gift.

I have partnered up with Starbucks to spread the great news about Via! If you are anything like me I’m always looking for “The Next Big Thing”.  Well I have to tell you about this fun drink idea that my client and I discovered for the holidays!
I’m at Starbucks every morning for my “wake up” fix. I actually find it hard to function until I have a couple of sips! I kept looking at that new Via Instant Coffee because, I thought it is so cute for out of town gift bags and or a cute party favor at one of  my events. Idea: Place some raw coffee beans at the bottom of a coffee cup add a couple Via Instant coffee packets, cello and tie at the top with a color ribbon that goes with your celebration…I like natural raffia myself.  We found this fun recipe (below) to satisfy all our party go-ers who love the taste of coffee. It completely amped up the flavor of the cocktail and was definitely the “buzz” of the party.

Check out the VIAtini recipe below!

VIAtini

1 1/2 ounces vodka

1 1/2 ounces Starbucks VIA (prepared, cold)

3/4 ounce amaretto

1/2 ounce Irish cream

Combine all ingredients in a shaker, shake well and strain into martini glass. Garnish with a cherry.

Enjoy and drink responsibly (such a motherly thing to say!) xox Mindy
