Snaps from staycation! We spent the weekend in Atl Snaps from staycation! We spent the weekend in Atlanta for Benjamin's birthday! 

We started at @childrensmuseumatlanta and then headed over to @skyviewatl! Then we had dinner at @johnnyrockets and spent the night. Then, we woke up early and headed over to the @georgiaaquarium for the day.

It was SO much fun. I highly recommend doing a staycation in your own city. I've lived here 30 years and always find something fun to do. 

Happy birthday to my big 2-year-old! 💙

This is the easiest idea for a fun summer party! 🦀 I took these crabby chicken croissants to our margaritaville themed party last week. I also made them for a mermaid-themed party a few years ago!

To make these:
-slice mini croissants down the middle but leave the back connected.
-fill with chicken salad.
-attach a toothpick to the back of edible eyeballs with cookie icing and allow it to dry.
-insert the toothpicks into the croissants to create eyes!

Save this for later when you need a dish or appetizer to bring to summer parties!

It's also the perfect dish to make if your kitchen is under construction like mine was for this video. It's a cold dish so nothing to heat up. 

First, mix together two cans of drained whole-kernel corn, two cups of mexican blend cheese, one cup of light mayo, diced red pepper, pepper and a bit of cilantro in a bowl. Then, add crushed Chili Cheese Fritos and mix well. Serve and enjoy!

This is my favorite way to make a regular drink feel fancy! Sprinkle a little edible glitter in a silicone mold and fill with water and freeze. When it melts, your drink will be cute and sparkly.

My drink today is two ounces of bourbon, one ounce of peach syrup, lemon juice and club soda! Stir and watch it sparkle.

First, either make or purchase cupcakes with green frosting. My kitchen was under construction for this video, so I purchased mine. But you can easily make your own and even use the grass piping tip to make grass. 

Then I found these golf-tee toothpicks. Place one in each cupcake. 

Then use cookie icing to secure a white chocolate truffle to each of the tees. 

Allow the icing to harden, serve and enjoy!

3 Products to Help Prevent Sweat This Summer

It’s YouTube Tuesday…and today is all about how to stay dry in the heat.

It’s hot in Atlanta. Actually a little PSA before we get started. It’s a common misconception, but in Atlanta, we do not, DO NOT, ever refer to our beloved city as “Hotlanta.” I’m not 100% sure where this started or why, but it is strictly prohibited and we have the right to make fun of you forever for even thinking it.

What were we talking about?

Oh right, YouTube lol.

So today, I’m sharing three products that help prevent sweat during the summer! I personally don’t sweat, I glisten. However, I still would rather be dry, so these products are my go-tos. Check it out– oh and if you watch til the end you can see me make a total fool of myself. You’re welcome!

What’s your favorite product to stay dry?

    • Helen @ Hel On Heels says

      June 27, 2018 at 9:40 pm

    June 27, 2018 at 10:26 pm

    Lovely video, girl. It’s still hot in the Philippines, even though it rains like in the afternoon and/or evening. I hope we can find one of these at any store here. So we can use it when we go out of the city/country.
