Who doesn't love Candy? Just the word "Candy" paired with the word "Cocktail" is one to put a smile on anyone's face. I couldn't resist sharing this with you today! The Candy Cocktail! Every year, a couple of really cool gals I know throw a holiday party for their gal pals to benefit Toys for Tots. Cocktails and Candy is this event I look forward. It kicks off the holiday season, and the festive feels are all around, with it's theme of … [Read more...]

Fuzzy Friday: The Thunderstorm
Being in Oklahoma and that spring is upon us, I find it only appropriate that The Thunderstorm is a cocktail we need to have. One, because it's part of our daily conversations, two, we actually may need one of these to help us get through our hormonal weather, and three, we say things like Hook Echo and Wall Cloud on a regular basis. People in other states most likely would have NO clue what we're talking about. The … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Fresh Air
Fresh Air. Like a bit of Fresh Air. That's what this reminds me of. We're turning the bend on a new season. Not only is it a new season entering spring, but it's also a new season perhaps in your life. A new chapter awaits. For me, something I've dreamed of for so long is going to be a reality soon. I've been working SO hard, late nights, as I give my 1000% to this passion and dream of mine for you. So yes, it's a breath of fresh air … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Spring Forward
This is your friendly reminder that we lose an hour of sleep this weekend. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! But, what it does mean is we have MORE daylight. We're going to spring forward. In the light of the shift of the light, I created my own concoction with a citrus blend juice, a tropical vodka, and fresh strawberry puree. I also wanted to create a fun look in the cocktail's presentation, the layering of the fruit puree with the … [Read more...]

Happy #FuzzyFriday to all my loves out there!

Fuzzy Friday: Couture Cosmo
Happy #FuzzyFriday loves! So, I don't know if you can tell, but I've been doing a balancing act. I've been balancing all the hats I wear, which include "momager" that has taken the lead for the time being, blogger and women's empowerment coach, and of course, domestic goddess. See my invisible crown? (wink!) But seriously, don't we all go through periods and phases where our lives are a bit out of sync? Such is the case with mine, and … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Green Ghouls
Happy #FuzzyFriday lovers! For those of you newbies to The OP Life, every Friday (as much as I can!) I share cocktail recipes. It's not about the alcohol or the drinks (just to be clear!! although they can be so much fun!). The purpose of the cocktail is to toast to the week that we've just had, toast to the weekend thats before us, and to celebrate our wins that we've had. As big or as little as they might be. Whether it's in our business, … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Mexican Martini
Have you ever had a drink that left you feeling ICK, an experience that you had a LITTLE more than you can handle and now you're scarred for life? LOL! That's the case with margaritas and me. I can't do them any more. Bad college experience left a real bad taste in my mouth let's just say! I had more than I could handle in a short period of time. No bueno. Hence why you see very few margarita-ish cocktails here. I really just can't do … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Income Tax Martini
April 15th is a day that we can all agree that involves some moaning, some heartburn, some headaches, and usually not a lot of fun. We all know what it means. It means let's give a chunk of money to Uncle Sam. So today's cocktail, The Income Tax Martini, (clever, huh?) is a strong one. Real strong. Good but strong! This classic gin martini has a fruity twist to it. Income Tax Martini 2 ounces gin 1/4 … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: The Epic Lemon Drop
I'm immersed the next few days at The Epic Conference, one as their official blogger, two, to soak up all this amazing knowledge for my businesses, and three, as a speaker myself. In case you're wondering WHAT in the world am I talking about, you can read about it HERE. So in honor of The Epic Conference, #EPICCON2016, I'm making the hostess' favorite cocktail and declaring the The Lemon Drop be the official cocktail of the conference (with … [Read more...]

And today, on Fuzzy Friday, because we like to end the work week … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Snickerdoodle Martinis
This super yummmmmmy concoction is something if you say too loud, the kids will come running and want some. And although it looks kinda fancy, it's the simplest thing to make. If you're craving cookies, this is definitely a drink to make. Maybe an alternative to dessert? Serve up this sweet treat. I put my own little twist on this recipe which makes it even better! Snickerdoodle Martinis: 3 oz. half and half (I used … [Read more...]
