Gold Cup Entertaining... With Target #SinTraducción

July 16, 2015

Entertaining is one of my favorite things to do. I love preparing delicious snacks and drinks to welcome friends and family in my home. This year, I teamed up with Target to show you guys my favorite things to do when watching the Gold Cup, including a delicious pineapple mojito recipe at the end of the post...
The Gold Cup is a world acclaimed event that unites families and friends from all over the world. Being a Caribbean girl myself, I obviously enjoy watching matches between the Caribbean teams.  One of my favorite things to do while watching the games is echar relajo (poke fun at the opposite teams) with my loved ones. I also love preparing delicious food and drinks that resemble the culture of the teams playing. 

When planning a gathering I always have to stop by my local Target. One of the many things I love about Target is the fact that you only have to make one stop to find all the items you can possibly need for a party. From home-decor to all the food and drinks. Some of the things I found to entertain were cocktail glasses, a glass pitcher to serve water to my guests, a bowl for chips and a tray to serve cheese and other snacks. I also found the perfect gold side-table that doubles as a mini-bar, a must-have for entertaining guests.

I've been on the hunt for the perfect clip-in hair extensions for the longest time. After a lot of research, I came across Irresistible Me, a brand of 100% Remy clip-in hair extensions, hair accesories and hair tools. I have been wearing their extensions for a month and I wanted to give you my honest opinion and experience so far.
