All good things come in threes. This spring there are three things I have been stuck on: Steve Madden shoes, denim, and leather accessories. My springtime wish list is filled with these items so I decided to compile some of my favorites. I personally can't wait til I can get my hand on these 9 items.

1. SM RYLAN WEDGE

2. SM BETHANYY SANDLE

3. SM KOOOL BALLERINA PUMPS

4. MOTO WHITE BAXTER JEANS

5. NOW AND DENIM DRESS

Today's neat idea: a star gazing date. And the best part? Pillows, blankets, and stars are all FREE. Now for the pickup truck...?

This week kicks off a new weekly series called "Music Monday." My taste in music is eclectic to say the least. Today's Music Monday is no different; a collection of live performances that I hope you dig, but you'll have to at least appreciate bluegrass... enjoy!

Foodie Friday: Fried Bananas

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 17:00:00 +0000

One of my favorite snacks: fried bananas. My parents didn't keep many sweets in the house growing up so after dinner we often ended up making dessert out of whatever fruit was available.

1. Melt butter with brown sugar and a little bit of caramel.

2. Cut bananas into small pieces.

3. Add bananas to the butter/brown sugar mixture.

4. Flip banana pieces and cook until they reach the consistency you want.

Enjoy!

Trendy Pinterest dinners.

Women everywhere are flocking to the latest big thing to happen in social media: Pinterest. One of the fads to come out of the social networking site is pinterest theme dinner. I attempted such a dinner. An appetizer: avocado fries. A main course: Carrabba's Champagne Chicken. And dessert: Apple Ice Creams with Caramel. Two of three turned out well.

The entree and dessert turned out exactly like the pictures. The avocado fries.. not so much. We followed the recipe exactly and yet they were barely edible. Maybe my love for avocados doesn't extend to avocado fries. Or maybe avocado fries just don't taste quite as good as they look on Pinterest.

Have you made a Pinterest dinner or tried recipes you found on Pinterest?

Two Friday Films.

If any part of you is an adventurer you NEED to see these films. The first is available to stream on Netflix and the second is available for download from their website. Cinematography alone is enough to justify watching these two films, let alone the two inspiring stories. Just don't blame me when you find yourself heading over to Midwest Mountaineering to stock up on gear.

Budweiser + Superbowl = AWESOME

I'm not from Canada. I don't play or watch hockey. Yet this new Budweiser commercial for the Superbowl still brought tears to my eyes. This is an amazing ad. Connecting with consumers on a deeply human level is something everyone working in Ad/PR/Marketing should aspire to. Watch this and don't tell me you didn't get a little emotional.
