Peppermint Bark

I know it's a little late to do a Christmas-related post, but I wanted to share this recipe with you!


I made....

Peppermint Bark!

Review? 

It was so yummy! It's also incredibly easy to make. Just 3 ingredients! (White chocolate, candy canes, and peppermint extract). I like it extra peppermint-y so I added a little extra extract and it was delicious! The recipe (which can be found here) yielded a lot of bark so I was able to give these jars as gifts to some people while still having some left overs for myself!

Alterations?

Next holiday season when I make this, I'm going to try using a different brand of candy canes. These tended to stick to your teeth when you bit into the pieces. I used Bob's but I'll experiment next December.

Success?

Yes! "Great Success!" :) 

I will definitely make this again, it was so yummy & so easy!

Super Sunday!

This week I found:

This t-shirt? Amazing. That just about sums it up.

And speaking of mustaches...

Despite what the "Hollywood style judges" think, I still find him irresistible. 

I think this dress from ModCloth is the perfect winter dress. With some blue tights from We Love Colors, this would be a drool-worthy outfit.

This.room.is.amazing.period. I love color and love this room.

It was an entry in a room color contest on Apartment Therapy. & it's called 'Janelle's "Viva La Femme" Room'. It was a finalist. I can see why.

This doormat = awesome.

These salt & pepper shakers are adorable :) Thank you Urban Outfitters!

Book Review

For Christmas, I got...

A Kindle!

(Thanks Santa!)

I absolutely love it! I do enjoy holding a book in my hand but the lowered price tag of $139 and the huge free and discounted ebookstore on amazon enticed me into this beauty of a product.

This will give me the chance to read many books that normally I wouldn't pick up. To start off, I decided to read Wish by Alexandra Bullen. It was a limited time deal on amazon for free! I read it in a day & just wanted to do a review it. I might start doing that with other books & movies. 

Review

Wish by Alexandra Bullen

5/10

Wish was an entertaining book but nothing more than that. It was about a shy girl (Olivia) who moves to a new town (how original). Her twin sister had just passed and after meeting a magical-seamstress, wishes for her sister back. Her spontaneous sister turns into her life coach and changes her views on life and turns her into a social butterfly. The book was very predictable and obvious but all together, an entertaining book for a rainy day.

(What did you get for Christmas? Did anyone else read this book? If so, what are your thoughts?)
