last weekend i went to a super cute
favorite things party
one of the best ideas for a girls night out,
and when done by my friend lela,
good things always happen….
she is a
oh-i-just-threw-that-banner-thing-together-today-during-nap-time-with-what-i-had
type of girl.
i am dreaming that stuff up for a week before!
and her appetizers were divine.
goat cheese, basil, strawberries, and balsalmic.
yes.

red velvet cupcakes, and red velvet cookies.
get this: those cookies are sugar cookies with red velvet “extract/flavoring” in them-
genius!
and my loot…
how it works: everyone brings 3 small-ish things {generally under $10 a piece}
and we write our names down on 3 slips of paper…
each girl explains her “thing” then draws 3 names for who gets them.
i learned a lot about all the cleaning supplies i need,
some fun new products,
and went home with some fun stuff.
my girlfriend, liz, has been raving about this sugar cookie tea for weeks
{it’s seasonal, so she ordered it}
she froths warm almond milk to make it latte-esque,
and it’s sooo good… and about 40 cals.
what a fun party.
i have that on my schedule to do again very soon!
