Return of the Belly Shirt

16 was a huge year for me. Of course I was ecstatic to get my license but also on my 16th birthday, I got my belly button pierced.  It was so exciting I went out and bought tons of belly shirts and felt soo cool.  Like bell bottoms, belly shirts became popular in the 60s-70s hippie era and has had waves of popularity in the 90s.  Well ladies, they have come back with a vengeance.  Adorably flirty and sexy, these midriff baring shirts will get you out of any ticket and may get you into trouble. 😉

Abs not included.

Pool Party

Hope everyone had a fabulous 4th of July.  My day was filled with poolside spritzers, delicious barbecue food, and watching neighborhood fireworks.  We ended the night with a perfect 10pm dip in the pool which was very refreshing.  The great thing about the 4th falling on a Wednesday is the celebration all week until Sunday.  Since pool parties are such a popular event this time of year, I wanted to share my favorite pool party accessories.

Frozen Lemonade Pie

What can be more refreshing than this frozen treat on a beautiful sunny day with friends & family? So easy & so delicious.  Yum.

 Frozen Lemonade Pie

Ingredients:

  • Graham Cracker Pie Crust
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can of frozen lemonade concentrate
  • Blueberries, raspberries, sugar and lemon juice

In a large bowl, make the filling of the lemonade pie by whipping the heavy cream until peaks form. Then fold in the combined lemonade and condensed milk into this cream. Pour this mixture into the pie crust, then freeze overnight to solidify the pie. Earlier in the day before serving the pie, create the topping by tossing the berries with the sugar, lemon juice and whipped cream if desired. Top the pie with this mixture when serving.
