Christmas Wish List

As I read through the various blogs that I follow, I found one that was particularly interesting and gave me an idea for a post of my own.  The Blended Blog is one that I read regularly and also enjoy linking up on their site.  This past Monday’s post was TBB Wish List written by the adorable Andrea Nine.
From what I’ve read, it seems that we all have a leopard print fixation this year.
I was motivated to include a few items from my own Pinterest Wish List and incorporate those items into the post today.
Sing along as you read the following “Christmas Wish List” post to the tune of a song made popular by Mariah Carey:

All I Want For Christmas is You

~
I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I must have these Archway cookies
buy them for me this I plead
I don’t need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
If you’ll give these glasses to me
I will put them on my face
I just want this for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
What I want for Christmas
Is shoes
Oh, I won’t ask for much this Christmas
I won’t even wish for snow
And I’m just gonna keep on waiting
for a  jacket, this I know
I won’t make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won’t even stay awake to
Hear this little gold watch tick
‘Cause I just want all of this stuff
And I know that its enough
What more can I say?
it’s what I want Christmas day!
~
Yes that was goofy, but I had fun.
And I’m serious about the cookies.

Although it is Mariah Carey who made this song popular, I’ve included a clip from a favorite movie Love Actually featuring Olivia Olson.

Enjoy…

Pinterest Pursuits

It’s not likely that I’m any different from other Pinterest Users in that, every time I open Pinterest, I will find something new to pin.

This past week I added the following to My Pinterest Boards:

To Desserts Recipes I added:

Cherry Cheesecake Lush

You can find the recipe Here.

 

To COOKIES! I added:

Softbatch Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies

You can find the recipe Here.

These are the cookies I baked for National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day.

 

 

To Healthy Me I added:

Favorite Recipes to Curb Cravings

You can find the recipe and more information about My Think Fit Here.

Also added to Healthy Me:

The Healthiest Drink To Burn All The Fat From The Waist, Back And Thighs

I have not yet tested the health benefits of ginger water, but if you happen to try it, let me know how it works out for you.  It appears that it worked for the girl in the photo.

Also, I am credulous.

Obviously I am afflicted with an inner struggle as I love to bake and create sweets, however I’m also concerned with making healthy choices and not being overweight.  Although I typically find more pins for my Dessert board than I do for my Healthy Me board, I will use the latter on a more regular basis.

In addition to adding to my confection conflict, I will search for outfit ideas on Pinterest to add to my Outfits to Copy board.  Typically this happens just before I fall asleep at night.  Oftentimes, instead of pinning these, I will screen shot the ones that I like, using my iPad and try to recreate them later.

These were all screenshots from Pinterest when I searched blush pants and chambray tops.  I never got around to pinning them.  But they are definitely PIN-worthy!
