Weekend Moments -a girlie affair

Friday night was a girlie sleepover with some of my oldest, dearest friends... it was very appropriately filled with gossip & giggles, chocolate macarons, Martha's maple baked brie, pyjamas, and one too many pink drinks.


 Saturday was a total write-off, I basically slept all day, and all night.



On Sunday I recuperated and vowed to eat healthy again

 I discovered that if you light a candle while chopping onions, you don't cry.
(apparently all those irritating gases get burned up by the flame)

I hope you had a replenishing weekend.

    That sounds like a super fun weekend- except for the recouping- I'll try the onion trick next time I chop chop.

    Wow, your sleepover sounds like so much fun! I kind of had a sleepover this weekend, my friend was in town and we had a fun girl night on Thursday but then I got sick and all the other plans fell through. And what is that grapefruit salad dish? Looks soooo good!

    The salad was a "cleansing salad" I invented after all those pink martinis!
    It's made of quinoa, arugula, pink grapefruit slices, sunflower & sesame seeds, and lemon juice + olive oil.... it was delicious and very refreshing!
