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.
Pineapple Mojito Recipe
Yield: 1 Cocktail Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 1/2 ounces rum
3 ounces pineapple juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 ounce club soda
4 fresh mint leaves (extra for garnish)
1 lime wedge
pineapple chunks (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Add the sugar and fresh mint leaves to your serving glass. Muddle both ingredients together until mint is roughly chopped.
2. Add the rum and pineapple juice and stir until sugar is dissolved.
3. Add ice and club soda.
4. Garnish with lime wedge, pineapple chunks and mint leaves.
Cheers!

Decorating my Living Room for Fall!
October 15, 2013
Hey guys! In today's post I wanted to share with you a few tips for how to decorate your home/apartment for the fall season! I added a few extra details to what I already had to make my apartment more fall appropiate. My favorite thing about fall decoration is the fact that they can make your home look so cozy and inviting!
For the couch I added a few extra pillows that I found at my local Gordman's. I absolutely love owl decorations, especially for fall! So you can imagine that when I saw that pillow I had to buy it! :)

For my side tables, I bought new flowers for my crystal vase and replaced my pink owl with a brown candle owl that I found at TJMaxx. I also love to burn candles in the fall season, the one I am currently loving is "Autumn" from Bath and Body Works.

I like to keep things simple in my cofee table so I added some harvest leaves potpourri from TJMaxx and the books or magazines I am reading at the moment.

I hope you guys enjoyed this decorating post and let me know if you liked how my living room turned out! :)
Until next time!♥
