#instanthappy, the first week

So here's a recap of the first week of my #instanthappy challenge. I love taking time every morning to reflect on one simple thing that makes me happy. It's amazing how something so simple can really change your perspective. Also, my 13 year old daughter (that's her up in the top left corner a couple of years back) is "following" me and playing along too! That makes it a win/ win for me, no matter how many others out there play along. But if you'd like to start your day a little bit happier, the rules are simple- click the pic to find me on instagram. Follow me and upload a pic everyday #instanthappy. Looking forward to see your happy.

sbux after dark

So,I'm sure that you all heard the latest sbux news...... some locations will soon be serving wine, beer, and small plates after 4 p.m. So your favorite morning coffee stop has just become your after work girls' night out location.
    In honor of the news, here's my take on a sbux favorite for after dark.

sbux after dark

the essentials:
starbucks via very berry hibiscus refresher packet
bottle of your fav fruity red wine (try middle sister- goodie two shoes)
frozen berries- raspberry or mixed berries
ice

mix up the very berry refresher according to package directions. add 12 oz. red wine. chill or if your {im}patient, add ice. pop in a handful of frozen berries. sip & enjoy

How will you begin your weekend? I know that a glass of sbux after dark is in order at my house.
