It's Friday Cocktail Time!! The Rudolph Edition!!

Hey mommas!! Happy Friday and Happy December 1st to ya!! I am so excited that December is finally here!! I love this time of year.  Everything is bright, warm, festive, and oh so cheery.  There is something so special and lively this time of year that I absolutely love.  As soon as Thanksgiving was over, I immediately put all my fall things away last weekend and decked my house out in full Christmas mode.  I absolutely love how it turned out.  It's warm, cozy, and oh so festive!! :)

Speaking of fun Christmas things, I have a very exciting product launching this next week!! Christmas Car Scents!!! These scents make your car smell ah-mazing and they are the cutest ever...Green Cactus ones decked out in pom-poms for Christmas and green Christmas trees also decked out in pom-poms for Christmas! To say I'm obsessed is an understatement! So definitely stay tuned for the the launch of those next week! I only have 20 total of these cuties so snag your favorite while you can and grab a couple for stocking stuffers too!

Since I have all things Christmas on the brain, I decided to mix up a Christmas cocktail that's just as yummy as it is pretty!!  I call it the Rudolph! It's sweet, crisp, citrusy, and has a great woodsy taste that's perfect for the season!  (by the way, my adorable reindeer cup is from Target--it's plastic, only $1.99, and comes in 4 cute designs!!) Mix up a couple for some friends this weekend and enjoy this first weekend of December! Cheers mommas! ;)
