Happy, And Not Just From The Gin & Tonic

August 11, 2017

Drew arrived safely and I was almost not late to the airport but it is Los Angeles and in my defense a car was on fire on the 405, so, hi! Welcome to my hood!

The highlights real quicklike before we head off to the beach:

  1. He loves the guest room! He said it was even better in person than the pictures. BY THE WAY, adding the Holiday Joy oil to the mix was genius if I do say so myself. Everyone loves the smell of Christmas and it kind of made up for the new carpet smell from the new rug. That oil is on amazon but for way too much money IMO, but it’s basically a mix of pine essential oil and cinnamon oil so pretty easy to make at home.
  2. Frankie was a real butthead the first day so I bought her some catnip and now she is high as a kite but way calmer.
  3. We have been talking all about our futures and our business ideas and life philosophy stuff and I feel very optimistic and inspired. Also, that brings me to the gin & tonic hah hah

Drew showed me how to make the fanciest gin & tonic of my lifetime. It has this special liqueur made out of elderflowers and it smells like France.

Ingredients
  • Hendricks Gin
  • St. Germain Liqueur
  • Tonic water
  • Limes
  • Ice
Directions

Put the ice in your glasses first. Squirt a little lime juice on the ice. Then add one jigger of gin, and then add a little bit of tonic water. I don’t know how much but it was about 1/4 of a small tonic bottle per glass. Stir. Then on top, drizzle about half a small jigger of St. Germain Liqueur on top, don’t stir. IT’S AMAZEBALLS.

Ok, we are off to the beach! More pictures later and also the captain is coming over tonight for dinner and we are going to knit ♥

Starting to take some of the improvements from the guest room and add them to my bedroom, like this cool power outlet for the bedside table. I’m hoping it helps with the constant problem of needing to charge all devices simultaneously.


Still obsessing over Sew Over It and Lisa Comfort, the lady boss behind it all. Here is her site, YouTube vlog, and Insta. I bought pretty much every pattern they have during the recent 30% off sale.


Currently reading The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss. I need this book to help me but I don’t have enough time to read this book because I’m working nonstop, so…


Interested in these silica gel packets for my yarn stash. Does anyone out there add these to ziplock baggies of yarn?

Find and follow your passion is a load of crap.

Expecting to find something where everything clicks from the get go and is all good from there on out is a surefire way to never be happy.

Pursue your interests. Stay curious. Hone a craft. Passion emerges over years, not seconds.
