Today I Like: Candlesticks + Ball Jars= Goblets

via Style Me Pretty

Came across these pretty goblets made from glass candlestick holders (you can find these exact ones at the dollar store) glued to the bottom of small Ball jars via Pinterest, and just had to pass on the cute idea. So simple and sweet. For another neat DIY idea similar to this go here.

Sparkling Jasmine Tea + Cake

For my birthday last month my husband bought me this bottle of Golden Star White Jasmine Sparkling Tea I'd had my eye one. I love jasmine tea and when I saw that there was such a thing as sparkling tea in my favorite flavor I had to try it. It was the perfect bubbly to celebrate my birthday with! It's a great alternative to alcohol, it has a smooth floral taste with the right amount of carbonation. It'd be great to serve with dessert or during a cocktail hour at an event. I definitely recommend it if you love tea and bubbly. I had it on a picnic at the beach with a delicious deli sandwich. Sweet memories.

Recipe: Summer Cool Off Drinks

I've hand-picked some delicious fruity, crisp, ice-cold homemade refreshments to help cool you off this Summer. If you're a tea lover like me and enjoy herb-infused drinks, you'll love these recipes with a twist on the original Arnold Palmer and old-fashioned lemonade. You'll find lavender, jasmine, mint and even rosemary as ingredients in these drinks making them as fragrant as they are sweet. Drinks should liven the senses not just quench your thirst. Check out my recipe for Brazilian Limeade, it's one of my favorites. Photos link to source with recipe.
