Peridot Skies

Stripes and Plaid

March 02, 2015

Hello Monday! Can you believe it is March already? Spring will be here before we know it and I for one cannot wait. I'm starting off this week with a cold outfit day. As you can see it was freezing. It snowed in KC the past few days and has been chilly. Unfortunately it doesn't appear that it will be warming up this week either. But we could talk weather all day.... So how was your weekend? Do anything fun? I spent most of my weekend relaxing. It was quite nice. I caught a Modern Family Marathon on Friday evening, (Absolutely love that show) then Saturday a few errands and my hair appointment. Sunday was a lazy day too! It's okay to have a few of those every now and again. Today is my best friends birthday.... Happy Birthday Gayle! Tomorrow my middle grandson turns 4 too. March is a busy birthday month for me, two of my boys have birthdays too.

O-Venture

February 26, 2015

bags

I first stumbled upon O-Venture perusing thru my instagram account. Something about the bold colors and the small yet bold accent strip grabbed me. Per usual, I gravitated towards the Tickle me Pink Big O key ring. I was intrigued to learn how these two mothers and friends came up with such a fun and useful idea.

Janie and Caroline, the brains behind these beauties brainstormed to see just what exactly would help busy moms and women in general with their daily activities. The answer was literally right in front of them. Every single one of us has a set of keys, and sometimes duel sets. I have my personal keys, and then a set of office keys too. We are required to carry our office keys and swipe keys when moving through our building. It really is a must since we have certain locked doors in the building that require a swipe card. I cannot tell you the number of times myself, or a co worker has set her keys down in a secure room and walked off only to retrace her steps to find them. So, the idea to carry my keys not only with me, but a place for my swipe cards as well was a perfect match for me and O-Venture!! The biggest question Janie and Caroline sat down with was "How can we make women's lives easier?"... I think they answered their question with the O-Venture.

The office isn't the only place they come in handy. With stadiums regulating the size of your bag you carry in, now you may slip your essentials in an Ossential card case. Available in two sizes. Below I show you the size difference in the two. My orange Ossential is able to hold a lipstick, cards and ID, and if you haven't upgraded to the iPhone 6 your 5s will fit in nicely. My blue Ossential is a great size for business cards at a workshop, or trade show ready at your finger tips to share. You can carry it on vacation with your keycard and ID, or maybe even a concert. Joe got tickets for us to see Dave Matthews Band this summer and I will be using my Ossential for sure at the concert. Both sizes come with a keyring to attach to your Big"O" keyring and the keyring is valet ready with a sturdy quick release latch too.

Ranging in a multitude of colors, there is an O-Venture for everyone's style. You know I am loving the pink! And that Pocket Cross Body in gold? Ummm yes!! What is your favorite color?

Neon Pink

February 25, 2015

arm party

Do you have a feel good color? You know.... the color that when you put it on you just radiate? You know of course by now pink is my favorite. I'm so in love with the bold pink and these pants???? It's like I am wearing silk PJ's. I kept referring to them all day as my Hugh Hefner pants! HA! The most comfortable pair and colors....well you can take your pick at what to match them up with. Of course I was going with pink, but the blues, and even purples if you like that color are vibrant!

Nothing goes better with a bright pink top than bold pink lips! The sun was bright this day as you can tell by my shadows. If you haven't noticed lately, My Blair Ritchey PAK is my favorite go to bag. It is so versatile with a detachable shoulder strap and I love the size. It is bigger than an evening clutch.... but smaller than a conventional cross body. Blair recently made a new PAK in grey suede and I definitely want it too. It's a good thing I didn't have any daughters.... I don't think I could stand to share my closet!

Ice Cream Party

February 24, 2015

Birthdays

Whether you are hosting an ice cream party, or need a fun gift, this basket is full of everything you could possibly need for an Ice Cream social. Start by picking up a basket at your local Home goods, or of course Target! Maybe you even have one laying around. You don't necessarily even need to use a basket. A colorful plastic tub, or wire basket will work too. Most everything in the basket can be picked up at Super Target too.

Shopping list:

A single box sleeve of Oreos
Sugar Cones
Waffle Bowls
Caramel Sauce
Chocolate/Fudge sauce
Maraschino Cherries
Sprinkles
Chocolate Chips
Peanuts
Ice Cream Scoop
Ice cream cups

Candies:

Reeses Peanut butter cups
Malted Milk balls (Whoppers)
M&M's
Gummy Bears

Fill the bottom of the basket with scrunched up tissue to add a little padding and height to the smaller items. Start at the back of the basket with the larger boxes and your ice cream cups and work your way forward. Once you have the larger items in place add the jars of caramel, fudge sauce, sprinkles and cherries. In cellophane gift bags, place a good amount of candy to be used for the toppings in them and tie them up with a colorful ribbon. Do the same with your peanuts and chocolate chips. Start tucking the bags of candies and toppings in the basket around the larger items and jars. Split the cups into two stacks and place one in each front corner. Tuck the scoop in you're done.

This makes a great gift for a pool party, slumber party or how about your block party or holiday Bar-B-Que. Where ever you decide to take it... rest assured it will be a big hit! just don't forget the Ice Cream!!

Scoop yourself up some fun and Enjoy!
