All About Underthings

Fast Fash is heating up this week! Every year for the week of Valentine’s Day I chat about lingerie. I deeply love lingerie and have quite the collection. One of my tips is to always play with color. Don’t get me wrong most of my lingerie is black and all of my high end pieces are black just because that’s my preference. However, I always say buy lots of different colors! These are ten colors in the Pantone Spring Color Palette.

1. Biscay Green

2. Classic Blue

3. Chive

4. Cinnamon Stick

5. Flame Scarlet

6. Coral Pink

7. Faded Denim

8. Grape Compote

9. Orange Peel

10. Sunlight

Just for the heck of it here are a couple things that I bet you didn’t know.

Fun Facts:

Italian woman wear red underwear on New Year’s Eve for good luck.

The cup system was invented in the 30’s

Women wore girdles everyday from the 20’s to the 60’s. I’m sad that stopped.

The average cup size in the US is a 36C

One of my current favorite trends is the bodysuit! It’s a chic way to make your outfit a little more interesting. This is one of my go to looks!

Do you have Valentine’s Day plans? We have a tradition of staying in with a charcuterie board, vino, and relaxing. However we need a night out so we’ll see where the week takes us.

Anyway, I hope you have on some fun skivvies to kick of Vday week!

Drunk In Love

Happy Friday Friends!

Valentine’s Day might be over but I’m still bringing the love...or maybe alcohol right into the weekend! MK, Theo Shane, and I had a great V-Day staying in. Theo sipped his milk while MK and I enjoyed wine, cheeses, and some steak. I do love our tradition of staying in!

Today’s cocktail is seriously delicious. I’m not typically a mason jar kind of person but I saw this adorable cup at my local Shop n’ Save and couldn’t resist making a drink for it (and then later use it for decoration).

What you do:

Simply add your booze, and top with Strawberry Lemonade!

You can add sprinkles to your rim if desired.

I hope you have a great weekend full of love and maybe a little hootch!

Give Me Some Sugar

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Doesn’t it seem like we were just celebrating Christmas? And now Valentines Day is next week! In honor of that I usually share a tasty treat. I eat really well 95% of the time but I give myself a break when it comes to V-Day. I mean what better of a time to treat yourself? Today, I’m sharing not one but two SUPER easy recipes that you can make for your love without having to stay in the kitchen forever. 

Nutella Pies

What you need:

Nutella

Pie crust

Heart cookie cutters if you’re feelin’ fancy

What you do:

Have a little fun with this one! Play with different sized hearts and make your own design. But basically just fill the middle of your heart with Nutella and add the top sealing with a fork. Pop them in the oven for about 10-15 minutes on 350 but I watched mine until golden brown.  

Red Velvet Oreo Truffles

What you need:

20 Oreos  

4oz low fat cream cheese

Chocolate

Sprinkles to decorate

What you do:

Throw the Oreos in a food processor then add cream cheese until everything is stuck together. Then, make into balls and put them in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes. Melt chocolate, and dip your Oreo balls into it. Add sprinkles and you’re done! Just put them back in the fridge for them to harden.  Store them there too, when not eating.  

Both of these recipes are so easy that they would also be fun to make with your littles!

Enjoy the day, make it sweet!
