Glam Glow Mask

After a night out in LA, my good friend said lets have a spa day at home…out she brought GLAMGLOW mud mask. I fell in love. Made from all natural ingredients and known as Hollywood’s secret “facial in a jar” this mud mask was a must have.

First thing I did when I got home was ordered it online. Although  its a little pricey ($70) I believe it was well worth it, as the jar will last you at least 6 months if you use it once a week.  The other perk is that this mask is great for all skin types for both men and women, so you can share. Application is easy and after 10 minutes you’re done. Apply…feel the best tingling sensation…rinse…and see the difference.

A Thanksgiving Cocktail

With the Thanksgiving holiday right around the corner we’ve decided to share with you a twist on a classic cocktail (and personal favorite of mine): the sidecar. Traditionally made with cognac, orange liqueur and lemon juice, this variation adds aromatic spicy notes and apple infusion for the perfect winter cocktail.

A Turkey in a Sidecar

½ ounce Grand Marnier or orange liqueur
1 ½ ounces chilled mulled cider (I have a quick and easy recipe for this)
Brown sugar and pumpkin spice for rimming (I found a jar of pumpkin pie spice at Trader Joe’s for $1.99)

 

Preparation:
Place all ingredients in a shaker with a handful of ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a cocktail glass rimmed with a mixture of brown sugar and pumpkin spices (optional).  Tip: to make sugar/spices stick to the rim of your cocktail glass,  wipe rim with orange or lemon wedge.

1 Batch of Mulled Cider

3 cups apple cider
1 – 2 cinnamon sticks
3 – 4 orange or lemon slices

 

Preparation:
Bring cider, cinnamon sticks and citrus slices to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 25 – 30 minutes.

Recipe Variations:
Feel free to dress up the above recipe with various combinations of spices and fruits. If you have cloves, allspice berries or star anise they also make a great addition to the cider. Don’t forget to strain the cider before cooling down in the fridge when smaller spices are added.

Rosemary Infused Goat Cheese Figs

This is another extremely easy, yet delicious appetizer (or a delicious dessert. )

20 figs (this recipe can be altered depending on how many you want to make)
4 oz. fresh goat cheese, soft at room temperature
1 Tbls fresh rosemary, chopped
Honey for drizzling

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Wash and dry your figs. Prepare them by slicing an X at the top but be careful to not slice them all the way down. Pace your figs on an oven safe dish or baking sheet.

Place your goat cheese in a small bowl and mix with your chopped goat cheese. Using a spoon or small cheese knife, stuff the rosemary infused goat cheese into the fig pockets. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Drizzle honey over warmed figs or to the side and sprinkle chopped rosemary as a garnish.
Enjoy!
