Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms out there! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful mother. My mom is the one who got me into fashion as she is a SHOE FANATIC. Love her! Off to a Mothers Day lunch with my mom and mom-on-law to be! 🙂
I used to bartend at a Karaoke bar and when it got slow, I would experiment behind the bar to make low-calorie cocktails. One of my favorite concoctions was my Not-so-Virgin Shirley Temple. I always loved Shirley Temples- they are so yummy and bring me back to my childhood. This is a great guilt-free drink that you can easy mix up at home!
Ingredients
Directions:
Since I worked at a private restaurant, we did free pouring when making drinks so you do not have to measure these cocktails out. Pour Cherry vodka or your favorite vodka (cherry just makes the drink a little sweeter) for a 3 count. Fill glass up with club soda or Sprite Zero and add a splash of grenadine. Add 2 Maraschino cherries for garnish and flavor. This drink only has 75 calories as a bonus. Enjoy!
Happy Cinco de Mayo all! Did you know that Cindo de Mayo is the celebration of Mexican heritage and pride and to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first years of the American Civil War? I am actually going to a party tonight and of course tortilla chips & margaritas are on the menu.

It’s always fun to grab a group of girls, throw on a cocktail dress & stilettos and hit the town. However, on a rainy night like tonight, sometimes it’s just fun to grab your closest friends, a bottle of wine, a great chick-flick and have a fun Girl’s night In. Remember how much fun slumber parties were? You can have a pampering night with your girlfriends. Here is what is on the menu:
We all get that snack craving at some point in the day. Some people get it around 3pm, between lunch and dinner, some mid morning, and some late at night. My cravings tend to vary but I am infamous for getting starving in late afternoon and since I eat dinner pretty late, it’s important for me to snack on something healthy that will hold me over. Below are some delicious treats and/or beverages that you can enjoy in 150 calories or less!
