Here is my newest creation Fashion Dust Cocktail – a dose of vodka, some pink Crush cream soda (in Europe you could use Sprite) and a girly touch with a cocktail stick through a marshmallow and a jelly bean. The drink is sweet, yet the vodka bites off some of the tang. It is light-spirited, giving you the welcomed January jump. I accompanied my snow white Cosmo with some marinated mushrooms and other dipping veggies. Several wheat thins and pickles were also seen on stage.
Did you watch the Golden Globes? I did and savored the glamour and joyous moments. It is a quality being able to rejoice for others’ success and sweet moments. Jealousy is the core of a lot of mental bugs. Eating disorders can stem from feeling inferior – fatter and less of a success. Yet if I find true love in me, I am confident that this is my special being. The way I look. My forms and curves. My unique shape.
Let’s encourage people around us to be themselves. Inside and out. Rude and pushy remarks serve for nothing. Only positivity will change the world. One cocktail at a time, we can celebrate life and each sweet other. I love you, loves! Mushy mushy, I know. But hey, this is my blog and that is Me!

Wonderful post, darling! You are very right about jealousy – if only people accepted themselves as they are instead of looking at others and comparing, then it would make the world a comfy place to be.

So… I seriously love that you love cocktails (seemingly) as much as I do… and that you get creative with them too! That you express yourself through mixology, art, and your fashion. That you’re learning about yourself and loving yourself in the process… it’s a beautiful thing.
