Post 1 of who knows how many of my new love of Email Campaigns!
And starting this Monday, Social Media will become my life and I am so excited as I will be joining the Social Media Team at work-words just cannot express the excitement. I feel like a bottle of champagne just waiting for my bubbles to burst out!
Okay-but back to the real point of this post. Who else is LOVING all of the email campaigns out there? I mean seriously! I am going to start sharing my favorites. Let’s take this one for example, GAP-Fade to Blue. One, blue jeans are my favorite, so this really caught my eye, but the creativity of putting this together and making something as simple as blue jeans so eye catching, how fun is that?!

With Cinco De Mayo quickly approaching, I only found it appropriate to post this wonderful cocktail recipe called: The Pure Mexican Maragarita from theKitchn.com.
Pure Mexican Margarita
Serves 2
2 ounces (1/4 cup) tequila
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) freshly squeezed lime juice
3/4 ounce (1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons) agave nectar or 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) Simple Syrup
3/4 ounce (1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons) cold water
1 slice lime (sliced crosswise into a wheel)
3 tablespoons kosher salt, optional
Shake the tequila, lime juice, agave nectar, and water vigorously with ice and strain into a chilled rocks glass or coupe filled with ice. Garnish with the wheel of lime.
Optional garnish: before filling the glass with ice, moisten the rim and dip it in a dish of kosher salt.
ENJOY THIS AMAZING MARGARITA! I know I will be this Cinco De Mayo
Cheers!

How much stuff can we all actually have or need? As the weather gets warmer, I start to think that all I actually need is a pair of flip flops, a sundress and my aviators. Stick me under the sunlight and I am a happy lady.
But in all seriousness, what is it that actually makes us happy? Things? People? Money? For me, it’s my people. We need to create moments and not collect things. My husband Russell and I have been talking about this a lot lately. He actually sent me an email with a list of things he wants to do less, things he wants to do more and things we can keep the same. I think we were having the same thoughts at the same time, because when he sent that email, I was driving to the dentist having the same exact thoughts!
He calls it the “Spring Life Makeover”
More of:
Exercise, Talking, Reading, Walks, Intimacy, Sitting Outside, Exploring, Photography, Music, Healthy Eating, Saving $, Throwing away/selling/Donating
Less of: TV, Bad Food, Spending necessary $, Buying, Stressing, Phone time
The Same: Drinking, Bowling, Sleeping, Family time, Friend time
I completely agree to all of these-all in all it will just make us better people. Here’s to the Spring Life Makeover! Thank you hubby for always being so inspiring to me.
Laying in the sun…happy Friday everyone!
