Well, first off, let me say hello to all of my new readers—this weekend was pretty major for me thanks to College Fashion including me in her Hautelinks of the Week, which made me surpass my normal amount of monthly visitors in only 2 days! I am forever indebted to her for including my DIY Sparkly Ombre Glitter Nails and bringing all of you to me! Things are crazy hectic for the next seven days for me, starting at 10am today, now that I basically have rehearsals with tech, orchestra and the whole kit and kaboodle here in the city for Sweet Charity which opens off-Broadway in New York City this Thursday, July 28th. As per before, you’re all invited to watch me star as Charity and you can purchase tickets here!
I’m going to try to blog as much as possible and keep you all in the loop with my comings and goings, but please forgive me if it’s a slow week!
In the meantime, my pal Brooke is enjoying a fabulous vacation in Europe and asked me to guest blog for her, which I graciously accepted, sharing one of my favorite recipes, my Chocolate Raspberry Trifle, which you can read about on her blog Just B!
My most recent and most exciting discovery of the week, however, is Pinterest! I’m more than a little obsessed–I spent four hours pinning last night! Pinterest is like a virtual inspiration board, and instead of having to organize magazine clippings, and papers and everything, you do it online, borrowing inspiration from other peoples’ boards and sharing your boards with your friends.
Of course, the easiest inspiration to become obsessed with are the amazing food pictures on Pinterest, my mouth waters just looking at them! I’d rounded up a few pictures of recipes I am just DYING to try:
Frozen S’mores Parfait from The Wannabe Chef
Chocolate Drizzled Strawberry Shortcake Kabobs from My Own Road
Capri Sun Fruit Punch Pops (aka the prettiest popsicles ever) from Kitchen Daily
Hopefully, those will hold you over until I get some time on my hands to do some of my own baking! I promise to post my homemade Starbucks Iced Passion Tea Lemonade recipe this weekend though! (It is BEYOND good–you will never spend a dime at Starbucks for it again!)

[...] 0 After spying a picture of a frozen s’mores parfait on Pinterest a few days ago, and photoblogging about it, I decided it was time to recreate my own version of The Wannabe Chef’s creation. [...]
