Obsessed

Okay, so I am a little obsessed.  I do it everyday - sometimes twice a day.  It makes me think better - clears my head.  Music helps.  Loud sing it into your hair brush rock star loud. I can go faster, longer, harder with the music blasting.  The best thing about being totally obsessed are the results.  Body leaner, skin clearer, I can breathe deeper.  The more I do it the better I feel.  Exercise it does a body good

I could get all weird and melancholy about Eat Love Bikini coming up on it's 1 year anniversary or how I made it through my "transitional" year pretty much unscathed or  I could just say this.  New Year, new look. Could be.  You'll just have to come back in a little bit and check it.

EAT - N O R M A L

I just crammed all of my favorite foods into a three day holiday food fest.  Amazingly yummy and reminiscent of Christmas' past. T. G. I. O (thank god it's over)! Oh wait, I just remembered - I have a fridge full of left overs. I guess the normal will start tomorrow.

Golden Gate Bridge

I took the Golden Gate Bridge for granite.

I drove across it everyday, twice a day for ten years - like it was nothing
I would look at all of the Tourist, taking pictures, acting goofy and waving
to the cars - seriously?  Why are you waving at me?
And then yesterday I walked across the bridge with my friend from
Minnesota (who grew up in the Bay Area) and her kids and my kid 
And guess what?  We posed for pictures, acted goofy
and I told my kid to "wave at the cars" - he declined.  Smart boy.
The Golden Gate Bridge is the jewel of California 
and the show stopper of San Francisco.
I will never take it for granite again.

EAT - C O O K I E S

This weekend I must have decorated at least a hundred 

sugar cookies.  No joke.

Christmas = Sugar Cookies

Pots of glitters, sprinkles, and edible beads galore

lots and lots of frosting

There are only  2 rules; leave some for the cookie tree
and take home all the rest - all of them.

Happy Holidays from Eat Love Bikini

BIKINI - H E A R T

This post has absolutely nothing to do with bikinis or bikini maintenance.  It has to do with a plethora of wine corks and what you can make out of them.  Being a bartender I have access to many many corks.  If you are not a bartender it may take you a while to complete this project or not - I guess it just depends on how much wine you consume on a daily basis.  Regardless, I am going to show you how to make a heart made out of wine corks.  A great present for the wine lover in your life.

What you will need:

50 - 70 red wine corks

sharpie

cardboard or paper

hot glue gun

glue sticks

Red wine corks

Make a template. Draw a heart on a piece of paper or cardboard.  Cut out and use as a template for your heart shape. Place corks on outside of heart first  and then fill inside of heart.  Arrange by color variation to give it a "ombre" look

Caution!  Hot glue guns are hot!  Be careful when handling glue gun and glue.

Lovely

Now pat yourself on the back, sit down and have a glass of wine.

We all have them - traditions.  Some we like and some we don't but this year Sammy started a new tradition.  I came home from work and he dragged me over to the Christmas tree to show me his new "tradition".  He had put tiny candy canes all over the tree!  I loved it.  He told me that he saw the candy canes at the store and new they would be perfect for the tree.  This new tradition is a keeper - just like Sammy.
