Spring is almost here and this means lots of pretty new things for us girls! And for this I introduce to you the latest collection from Emily Elizabeth Jewelry, their Blooming Beauty Collection for Spring 2010.
Emily’s inspiration for this collection was “blooming and rebirth, like what spring does to nature.” Prices range from $30 – $150 for jewelry and $45 – $125 for hair accessories. Isn’t the collection just gorgeous? I really love the bow stud earrings and the wishes headband.
You can shop this collection online at EmilyElizabethJewelry.com.

This entire week I’ve been highlighting crafts and recipes you can use on St. Patrick’s Day. But today is Friday… and Friday is fun-day. So let’s be serious here. What we all want to know is how to make a good cocktail.
Irish Coffee
1-1/2 oz. Irish Whiskey
2 sugar cubes
Freshly-brewed coffee, dark roast
Homemade whipped cream
Ground cinnamon, optional
Preparation:
Brew a pot of your favorite dark roast coffee. Whip up heavy cream until firm, but not stiff. Do not sweeten. Heat your Irish Coffee glasses by filling them with hot water. (Always serve hot drinks in a preheated glass.)
In the heated glass, dissolve 2 sugar cubes in the fresh brewed coffee. Add Irish Whiskey. Top with a dollop of freshly-whipped cream, and for an extra kick sprinkle cinammon on top.
* Try substituting your favorite spirits and liqueurs for the Irish Whiskey.
* Always serve with a napkin for dabbing whipped cream moustache.
* Don’t serve with straws as the trick is to sip the hot coffee through the chilled whipped cream.

Out with the old and in with the new. Are you watching ‘The Marriage Ref’? Oh reality programming…
This couple is arguing because each is holding onto something dear from a previous relationship. One won’t throw away her dead husband’s prosthetic leg while the other doesn’t see how owning the leather couch he used to have sex with his ex on is a big deal. Will Larry David, Ricky Gervais and Madonna have enough insight to correct the issue? Are you riding this crazy train?
