I ordered three of these marble butter keepers on Amazon!
You can find them HERE.
They allow you to keep butter on the counter (safely) for
30 days so it is fresh, soft, and spreadable.
They are just over $16 and will arrive before Christmas
if you have Amazon Prime.

Saturday Sip and Shop: Chocolate Heaven

Sip:

Chocolate Orange Cocktail
Recipe HERE at BBC Good Food

Shop:

nile blue box
canary yellow box
amethyst box
pink box (2 chocolates)

We just got our first box ever of these chocolates and we are in LOVE. The box is metal with gold accents so it looks really, really nice, and the truffles are high quality and rich. The 12-truffle box would be an excellent gift for a girlfriend, in-laws or parents, neighbors, coworkers ... and the 2-count box is awesome for stocking stuffers.

The ones linked above are from Bloomingdale's, and TODAY the chocolates are an extra 20% off with code FRIENDS as part of the friends and family sale. They are already discounted 20%, so this is an additional discount.

All orders before 12/21 also ship for free.

I'm going to show off our box on my Instastory now
(@alizadventures on IG) if you want to see a video of it!

and forgiving in the tummy = INSTANTLY SLIMMING!

Saturday Sip and Shop: Baby Shower Time

Today I am focusing on an awesome punch recipe and some really nice gift ideas for baby showers! Seems like this time of year, invitations are popping up left and right. I rarely turn down an invitation to go celebrate a mama-to-be. These are some of my favorite parties to attend!

Sip:

Recipe HERE from The Melrose Family
This punch is non-alcoholic which is really nice for baby showers!

A special baby shower gift is not hard to find, it just takes a little more effort sometimes! Camille's silver rattle from Ian's grandmother is so special to us. And both of these blankets are currently part of the Nordstrom sale (opens to non-cardholders on July 22 ... obviously open now to those who have a credit or debit card with them). My friend Beth gave Charlotte the Little Giraffe lovie and had it monogrammed. Such a sweet idea, and it's the softest, coziest blanket!

Voluspa Gardenia Candle
I purchased this the other day from Nordstrom. It's $16, so a mid-priced candle, but the scent is SO good and strong. This brand of candles will put a delicious scent in your home with the lid off, without even burning it. We had gardenia bushes in our yard growing up, so I love the smell.
