Watermelon Mojitos

Last night my mom treated my girlfriends and I to watermelon mojitos! They were super easy to make and so refreshing to drink!






How to: Muddle 2 watermelon chucks with the juice of 1 lime and 2 teaspoons sugar in each glass. Stir in a  handful of mint leaves, then add 2 ounces white rum and ice. Top with ginger ale; garnish with more mint.

Go Buy Now (Random Necessities)


How great are these beach towels? They are made from linen (which is a lighter, more absorbent fabric) and are just as cute as can be. Get them HERE

Rechargeable USB batteries? Yes please! Each of these batteries save 3kg of toxic waste and can be recharged hundreds of times. I just ordered some, do your part and get some too...HERE

My Town

I don't normally like to repost editorials on here but this is an exception. I came across these photos of Erin on some other blogs and quickly realized they were all shot...in my backyard (figuratively that is). So proud, putting Fort Worth on the map!

DIY: Tea-stain Fabric

I have been on the hunt for new bedding for my apartment for a couple weeks now. Every time I come close to buying something, I always talk myself out of it because I'm not completely in love with it. So today my Mom and I went to Pottery Barn and picked up a (really) white linen duvet cover, with the idea that I was going to "tea-stain" it myself. When I got home I googled "how to tea-stain linen fabric" and got right to work. I boiled about 40 cups of water in a huge pot, let 7 black tea bags stoop for 15 minutes, poured it all into my bathtub, and let the duvet soak for an hour. It turned out beautifully! I can't wait to set up my new room, its going to be so presh! Here are some photos I took during the process :)


Miss Kitty loved watching, she is such a great help!

Heres the finished product! I have cream walls in my bedroom so I had to hang it over my computer chair so you could see the color better! You likey?
