I've always loved a good margarita, frozen or on the rocks, I'm not picky. And who doesn't love a giant bowl of salsa, guacamole or queso?? I could basically live on those three dishes alone. That being said, Cinco de Mayo is hands down my favorite holiday where yummy food is in the spot light [yes, it even trumps Thanksgiving!]. My favorite+best memories of Cinco de Mayo would have to be college when we would all make our way to one of our favorite Mexican restaurants who served the best and <i><b>strongest</b></i> margs. [Mad Mex for any of you Ohio Staters]. Seriously the best memories. So in honor of those fun times I wanted to share with you a margarita I recently discovered and will probably become obsessed with once I start serving them up at home since I'm on a huge mango kick. It also gives me a reason to buy <a href="http://www.surlatable.com/product/PRO-1102433/?affsrcid=Aff0001&cagpspn=pla&CAWELAID=120120820000004432&CAGPSPN=pla" target="_blank">this</a> nifty little gadget.</div>

I've always loved the idea of owning a bungalow style home. I'm not one who needs a ton of space which makes this style of home perfect. And when decorated as cute as <a href="http://www.domainehome.com/best-bungalows-for-sale-in-the-us-april-2014/?ps=hp&m=top" target="_blank">this</a> one located in Venice California is it's easy to see why I'm such a fan. The <a href="http://www.domainehome.com/best-bungalows-for-sale-in-the-us-april-2014/?ps=hp&m=top" target="_blank">Domaine</a> article also features 7 other amazing bungalows that are currently on the market [love <a href="http://www.bungalux.com/listings/perfect-yard-entertainment" target="_blank">this</a> other Venice bungalow!}. Sadly the million dollar + price tags are a <b><i>little</i></b> out of my budget! But that doesn't mean I can't look!</div>

How was your weekend? I hope you all had the exact same weather we had in Cincinnati because it was <b><i>gorgeous</i></b> here! My weekend was the perfect mix of productive and relaxing: read <a href="http://johngreenbooks.com/paper-towns/" target="_blank">this</a> book, got a few good workouts in, cleaned & did laundry, went antique shopping, spent time on the front porch, and a cookout at my brother and sister in law's. </div>

Basically a perfect weekend!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Heat oil in a
large heavy pot over medium heat. Add bell peppers and onion and cook,
stirring occasionally, until softened and just beginning to brown, 10–12
minutes.
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Add tomatoes,
garlic, jalapeño, basil, oregano, chili powder, and paprika to pot.
Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally,
until vegetables are very soft and liquid is thickened, 20–30 minutes;
season with salt and pepper. Discard jalapeño.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Preheat oven to
400°. Transfer bell pepper mixture to a 13x9” baking dish. Using the
back of a spoon, make 6 evenly spaced divots in mixture. Spoon a dollop
of ricotta into each divot, then crack 1 egg into each. Top with cheddar
and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Bake, rotating dish halfway
through, until Parmesan is melted and egg whites are almost set but
yolks are still runny, 15–18 minutes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Serve baked eggs with toast. (Yolks will continue to cook as dish sits, so serve right away if you prefer your eggs soft.)

I tend to get on a country kick whenever the weather gets warmer and this year has proven to be no different. <br />
And right now I'm loving Keith Urban's new <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJAe5miXN_Y" target="_blank">song</a>!<br />
<br />
So good. <br />

I'm a sucker for anything bright and especially anything teal. So when I saw <a href="http://www.domainehome.com/melanie-bromley-e-los-angeles-home/?ps=hp&m=top" target="_blank">this</a> home makeover I was instantly in love. The home belongs to Melanie Bromley, the Chief News Correspondent for E!, and she transformed the 1957 home all on her own. Pretty amazing + beautiful!</div>

With so many weekend trips, bachelorette parties, weddings and a few quick trips planned with the boyfriend I've been on the hunt for a new weekend bag. And I've had my eye on these <a href="http://www.stela9.com/" target="_blank">Stela 9</a> weekenders because I love the bright colors and bold patterns. My favorite would have to be the Isabel in Blue Santa Fe. The Isabel style happens to be on sale at <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/" target="_blank">Shopbop</a> right now which means it's also included in the 25% off Friends & Family sale, making this $282 bag only $150!<br />
<br />
Such a steal!<br />

I love when I find a new artist that I'm truly excited about, especially when I love every one of their songs. Usually there are one or two songs on an album that I could do with out but from what I've heard of Sam Smith, I don't think that will be the case. His album <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/in-the-lonely-hour-deluxe/id826860709?ign-mpt=uo%3D4" target="_blank">In the Lonely Hour</a> is due out on June 17th and I've already pre-ordered it!<br />
<br />
To see what I'm so excited about make sure you check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB-5XG-DbAA" target="_blank">Stay With Me</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX30Sgchc20" target="_blank">Make It To Me</a>, or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUK6HlzNWEg" target="_blank">Latch</a>. <br />

Soooo, I've been away for two weeks. <b><i>What?! </i></b><br />
Here's why:<br />
I was supposed to have surgery last Wednesday but when I went in for a check-up with my doctor the Friday before he said no way. Well, for now that is. Chances are I'll still need the surgery but not right now. But because I was supposed to have surgery I spent a full week getting work squared away and training some one who would have been covering me while I was recovering which is why I was MIA the first week. Then last week, I just kept that break going. Partly because I wasn't feeling motivated or inspired due to not having the surgery. That might seem strange so let me explain. After dealing with this ongoing health issue for quite some time (since October!) having the surgery meant finally reaching the light at the end of the tunnel. And eventually that might still be the plan but for right now, I'm on hold. And without explaining all the gory details it actually means I'm healthy so I can't be to upset about not having the surgery. I'm just to the point where I want it to be done and over with!<br />
<br />
So until then I'm just going to go with the flow and listen to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15pMHi9h8rI" target="_blank">this</a> happy song!</div>

Happy Friday! Now that it's officially spring [as of yesterday!] it seems that I'm much more excited about Fridays + the weekends. Not that I haven't been before now, but something about knowing it's spring and that nice weather will soon be here makes the days off so much better! There isn't much scheduled for my weekend, other than going to my parents and cleaning out my old bedroom, sorting through what I want to keep and what can be donated. Exciting, huh? But I'm sure I'll manage to squeeze something fun in! What are you all up to? I hope it's something fun!</div>
<br />
Have a great weekend!<br />

I love how versatile this leather skirt could be and that it's a little edgy while still being 100% girly. I think I'd wear this with about everything: t shirts, sweat shirts, chambray (like above), heels, sneakers, sandals ... and the list goes on! </div>

And on top of that the soundtrack features a few of my favorites: Snow Patrol, Zedd, and Ellie Goulding [4 sounds from her!]. So of course I've already purchased! My current favorite is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miss21Qm4bI" target="_blank">this</a> one from Ellie. Can't wait to see how the soundtrack plays into the movie!</div>

I love a good margarita and though they usually make me think of Cinco de Mayo when I saw this <a href="http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/easy-green-margaritas-recipe/" target="_blank">green margarita</a> from Ali at <a href="http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/" target="_blank">Gimme Some Oven</a> it seemed like the perfect drink to share since today is St. Patrick's Day! I don't know about you but I'd feel a little better about having 1 or 2 [or 3 or 4] of these knowing there is a healthy green juice mixed in!</div>

To me there's nothing better than ending a long week with a weekend full of fun activities. Especially when the weekend forecast is warm and sunny. The family is finally getting together to celebrate my mom's birthday [only 3 weeks late!] and my brothers and I decided on a Mexican fiesta. We split the menu which means I'm in charge of the drink, a side, and dessert. So I'll be making this yummy <a href="http://www.mylifeasamrs.com/2011/06/white-sangria.html" target="_blank">sangria</a>, attempting to duplicate <a href="http://thisweekfordinner.com/2013/11/07/cilantro-lime-rice-chipotle-knock-off/" target="_blank">Chipotle's rice</a> and to stay with the theme ... <a href="http://beyondfrosting.com/2013/04/25/dessert-nachos-for-cinco-de-mayo/" target="_blank">dessert nachos!</a> On top of <strike>eating way too much</strike> hanging with the fam I'm also planning on a little spring cleaning and switching my closet to my spring wardrobe. Should be a productive but fun weekend.<br />

I've been seriously crushing on jumpsuits and rompers lately and this beauty from TopShop is the latest obsession. I'm loving the soft blush color and think it would be perfect for dinners out with friends, a date night with the boyfriend, or even weekend errands. And I'd definitely pair it with a cute pair of <a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=92895&vid=1&pid=988441002" target="_blank">heels</a>, a bright <a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=95368&vid=1&pid=135916002" target="_blank">bag</a> for contrast, and a <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=74688&vid=1&pid=610900012" target="_blank">denim jacket</a>.</div>

Confession: I love Legos. I have the Harry Potter Lego game for my Wii and I am dying to see <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCYQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thelegomovie.com%2F&ei=4b4gU-CdB7CQyQGVi4CYCg&usg=AFQjCNH5w9mX3oCxCcn2A1mDxCAHGGxupQ&sig2=WDBQOiCrigseQnkzp62f2w&bvm=bv.62788935,d.aWc" target="_blank">The Lego Movie</a>. Which explains why I was obssessed as soon as I saw these shots from photographer <a href="http://www.longexposures.co.uk/" target="_blank">Andrew Whyte</a> . So fun, right? This little guy is a world traveler and has managed to find himself in some really cool places. </div>
