Frosty's Melting Cookies 

With pretzel arms, candy buttons and fruit strip scarf all a-top a sugar cookie, what's not to love about this marshmellow head snowman cookie?! 



 Donut Snowmen 

Super easy and simple to create and gauranteed to wow your kids. All they take is three ingredients: powdered donuts, candy corn and melted chocolate. Thats it! 



Christmas Tree Cheesecake Pops

Another easy idea. You can either make your own cheese cake or buy your favorite one at the store. Cut the cheese cake up in slices, freeze them, dip them in chocolate or white chocolate, then decorate them as you wish. 



 Peanut Butter Reindeer Cookies 

Just stick some mini chocolate covered pretzels and m&m's in warm, just-made peanut butter cookies and your all set to go! Easy and delicious. 



Santa Hat Brownie Bites  

Super cute and easy to make. Just top your mini brownie bites - home made or store bought - with vanilla or butter cream frosting. Use melted white chocolate to help the strawberry stick.

                                    3 Festive Fashion Trends for this Holiday Season 


                                                                                     1. Leather

Looking good for holiday gatherings is all about looking festive without having to sacrifice too much comfort, which can be tricky. The solution: comfy leather pieces - which now come in a variety of shades other than black! For example, leather skinny pants are soft on the inside and practically go with everything, and can be dressed up or down to fit any occassion. Other options include leather skirts or shorts paired with a bright tight.


 




2. Red & Fuchsia

This holiday seasons shades to embrace are the beautiful red and fuchsia. I'm excited becasue I love these colors! Just a few things to keep in mind when rocking these bright garments: their color is already a dramatic statement, so it is important to keep the silhouette of your clothing simple and let the color take center stage. Natural make-up and a nude or rose colored lipstick or gloss goes well with these colors too. 






3. Sparkle

Is there a rule for how much sparkle, glitter or gemed-out clothing a girl can own? I'm saying no! You know you are dying to pull out those eye-catching pieces that are at the back of your closet because you never have the right ocassion to wear them for. Well, fear no more becasue the holiday season is the perfect time to add some sparkle and shine to your look. This is the time to go all out. Rock a sequinced cocktail mini or a head-to-toe glitter dress. All eyes are on you, girl ;)
