Cotton Candy Champagne
Cotton Candy and champagne, is there any better combo?! What You’ll Need: Cotton Candy Candy Hearts (I recommend the Sour Patch Kids candy hearts! The original candy hearts will dissolve instantly in the champagne, and the Sour Patch still have fun sayings!) Brut Champagne Wine Glass Fill a wine glass with Brut champagne of choice. The cotton candy adds a lot of sugar to the cocktail so I highly recommend only Brut! Top with cotton candy until it covers the mouth of the wine glass. Place the candy hearts in the champagne and enjoy! The cotton candy will eventually fall in the glass and disintegrate in the champagne. the candy…

Super Bowl Menu
The Super Bowl is not only an American tradition but it is a great excuse to get your friends and family together for a day of yummy food and drinks! It only happens once a year, so have to do it justice! Football is basically synonymous with large quantities of food. Any finger food works and make it football themed when possible. Add a lot of American classics to the menu like, chips and dip, sliders, wings, nachos and charcuterie boards. I typically throw in a football themed dessert: this year and most years it is football rice krispie treats. Buffalo Chicken Dip What You’ll Need: Full Rotisserie Chicken Shredded…

Evergreen Candles
Anthropologie always has the cutest home decor, especially for the holiday season. They are royalty of all things bohemian and unique pieces! I love going to their STUNNING Rittenhouse Square location in Philly and browsing their new decorations each year. This year these evergreen bottle tree candles caught my eye. They were so simple, but fabulous at the same time! The candles were simple enough that I knew I could recreate them easily, especially when I saw the hefty price tag that came with Anthro’s version. I went home and quickly looked up bottle brush trees. There were so many colors and sizes to choose from! I decided to stick…
