Christmas Drinks

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Mine was filled with food, family, friends, fun, games and gifts! The one fabulous thing about this year that I have to share is all of the new drinks I tried. For those who know me, I either drink wine or gin. This year, I really outdid myself with letting people give me new recipes. Here are my new favorites:

Blueberry Vodka & White Cranberry Juice

It is the perfect summer, refreshing drink!

The Cream Soda

2 Shots Vanilla Vodka
Fill with Ginger Ale

Yum! This seriously tasted exactly like cream soda. Even my Nana drank her glass clean!

The Italian Margarita

4 fluid ounces amaretto liqueur
6 fluid ounces frozen limeade concentrate
6 fluid ounces tequila
1/2 cup orange juice
 Ice

Pour all ingredients into a blender and puree until smooth.

All I can say about this drink is that Italians really improve everything ;)

The Best Holiday Feeling

There is no better feeling then after you have finished your holiday shopping and know you got the best and coolest gifts possible. I am literally jumping out of my chair after getting my boyfriend an awesome pair of cufflinks. I know, some of you are thinking LAME, but they are made out of pieces of famous stadiums. For one, he loves dressing up more than being casual. We live in Philadelphia and he is a die hard Phillies fan. They used to play at Veterans Stadium before it was blown to bits. It is such an iconic stadium for all Philadelphia sports fans. I found this deal on Groupon but you can check out stadiumcuffs.com. They have a bunch of other stadiums listed too.

Ok, that's all for now. I just had to let everyone know how excited I am. Enjoy your holiday shopping and I hope you get the same feeling I just did!

Zumba Attraction

Recently I have joined a gym. I know, for those of you who know me, your jaws have just hit the floor. But it is time to really start taking care of myself and my body. The main things that attracted me to this gym were the pool and Zumba classes. I've been hearing about Zumba for the last year now and I figured I would give it a try. Well let me tell you, I am seriously in love.

These classes are a total blast. The music is loud, the momentum is high and all of us ladies (sometimes men!) are having fun. Where else can you dance your ass off without wearing make-up and heels! Some people can dance and some people look silly but no one even cares. It's all about following our teacher as best as we can.

Now here comes the reason why I really wanted to write this blog...I could not take my eyes off of my teacher. Not only was I watching her to figure out what the hell I should be doing, but I was drawn to her every move. If any of you women out there are in need of learning how to be "sexy" again, TAKE ZUMBA. The way her body moved and swayed had me mesmerized. Her abs were tight, her hips were fierce and her ass looked great. For those who do not know me, I am not into women. I have an amazing boyfriend who I hope will pop the question sooner rather than later but I do have an appreciation for beautiful ladies.

Zumba is a combination of Latin and International music and the music itself brings out your desire to be sexy. The entire time I was hoping I looked as amazing as she did and that someone was staring at me the way I was staring at her. The moves are basic and easy to learn, but the charisma and sexuality she exuded can not be learned in a simple class. She will keep me coming back to this class, not only to get it right, get it tight but to learn how to attract people with a simple sway of my hip.

Thanksgiving Afterthoughts

A belated Happy Thanksgiving to all! I hope yours was as wonderful as mine was. To be honest, the only thing I love about Thanksgiving is hanging out with my family. I'm not a fan of turkey, sweet potatoes or anything healthy. And this year I was a little too hungover to enjoy a delicious beverage. I am one of the few lucky (or crazy as some say) people who actually enjoys family time. I love catching up with my cousins, taking ridiculous family photos (this year they had my climbing up trees) and playing games until we want more food. Plus, my birthday is right around Thanksgiving so there's always the birthday cake and presents thing.

We don't go around the table and say what each of us is thankful for but we all know that we're thankful for each other and the time that we get to share together. There are many people who cannot be with their families, don't have any family left or simply do not like their family. We don't hang out all the time or tell each other our deepest darkest secrets but we still get really excited when we know the holidays are coming around. We love and cherish each other no matter how old we get, how much we drink or how much fun we make of each other. We know we're just as lucky (or crazy) as the person stuffing their face with turkey next to us.

With love and pearls,
Ashley

And It Begins...

The time has come for us to unleash our real beasts. For those of you who actually know us, you will not at all be surprised by the name of this blog. For those of you who don't, we sound more official and poised then we really are. We try hard to project ourselves as the social norm. We dress the part, we look the part, we act the part, only to have one slip of the tongue, some vulgar language escape and people are now blushing when they're around us. Now don't get me wrong, I can country club with the best of them but don't you sometimes wish you could get away with saying whatever you want, whenever you want and not have anyone bat an eye?

This blog will not be all crude and rude so if that's not your style, don't turn away. It's just about speaking your mind and not having someone give you the stinkeye. We plan on keeping up with all things fashion, travel and beauty thrown in with some sex, alcohol and celebrity guilty pleasures. We can please all the Charlotte's and the Samantha's of the world at the same time.

Our goal is to have this blog not only entertain you, but entertain your mother, your sister, your best friend and even your boyfriend. We are two twenty-somethings trying hard to fulfill all of our dreams and we plan on taking you on the ride with us...

With love and pearls,
Ashley
