More Ice Cream Making Adventures

We visited our friends with the ice cream maker again, and this time we made Cookies and Cream.

We took Cuisinart's Simple Vanilla Ice Cream recipe and added a cup of crushed Oreo cookies.

It tasted like Oreos mixed with magic.

Maybe It Will Go On Sale....

First, I would like to note that it is approximately one million degrees in New England right now.

Second, I want this dress to magically transport itself into my closet, so I can wear it to summer school tomorrow.

Black Cherry Sherbet

It is hard to find good couple friends.

First, both you and your partner have to like both of the other people.

Plus, it's nice if they live nearby and are in a fairly strong relationship. (When couple friends break up, it can be messy).

We are super lucky, because not only do we have fabulous couple friends, those couple friends own an ice-cream maker.

Oh, hello Black Cherry Sherbet....

Make-Up Monday: Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Merlot

I love this little yellow tube.

This lip shimmer provides all of the fabulous moisturizing benefits of a lip balm in a lovely shade of red.

It isn't super long lasting, but it is 100% natural, so you are doing your lips good when you re-apply.

Plus, it is available at Target, my home away from home.

Living Room Photo Shoot

My very patient husband agreed to take some pictures of my gorgeous new lip color for Monday's post, and it turned into a mini photo shoot.

Please enjoy my adorable cat and new flats from Target.

(Flats that I purchased for $4.48. Four dollars and forty-eight cents!)

Things I Love Right Now

1. The fact that James Franco is back on General Hospital. (I have no idea why he is on the show, but my theory is that his grandma is a big fan).

2. This necklace from the In Honor of Design Etsy shop.

3. Having time to read a whole book.

I Am Now Planning a Trip to London in My Head

I know that France is sort of having a moment right now, with everyone loving Paris and stripey dresses and macarons.

But me? I'm a fan of England.

So, I was extra excited when our British houseguests brought us British presents!

Because Sophie knows and loves me, she brought plenty of Dairy Milk.

However, the best present of all was this amazing Cath Kidston bag.

I am now a little bit obsessed with all things Cath Kidston.

I had seen a few things on the adorable Torie Jayne's site, but I did not realize that this brand was all the rage in the U.K.

The Cath Kidston site is full of ridiculously cute floral, polka-dot creations, and it is probably a good thing that shipping to the U.S. is approximately a million pounds.

That will keep me from buying everything.
