Fish bowl - The Adult Beverage

I was recently in Virginia and my sister got a call inviting us to a bar to drink fishbowl drinks. We were super tired and decided not to go.  I just kind of thought that it would be whatever drink that you wanted and they place it in a fish bowl.  Little did I know, that they make it to actually look like a fish swimming in a bowl.

SOOOOOO you know I had to try to make it.

Ingredients: You can use anything - as long as it can be turned blue/green (ex. blue curacao/vodka).  But I used:
lemonade
rum
swedish fish
minature fish bowls
ice
food coloring
lemon slices

ingredients to make Fish Bowl alcoholic drink



Fishbowl drink


I couldnt quite remember my color combinations from school.  So at first it was too dark blue, then too light, then i gave up, and I ended up with this green fish bowl drink.  Some of my fishies died (can you see them at the bottom of the fish bowl?)  And then there were a few who swam up to the top. 

But the drink was delicious and such a cute idea.  Next time, i'll perfect the food coloring.

How I organize my makeup, earrings and nail polishes

Today, I decided that I would share with you all, how I organize my girly things.  I still dont have enough room for everything, so this organizational feature is still a work in progress.

HOW I ORGANIZE MY NAIL POLISHES:


Nail Polish Organizer
(sorry I cant figure out how to get it to rotate on Blogger, its rotated on my camera disc drive) 

I have 2 of these nail polish holders hanging on my wall.  I've always thought that these were so functional when I went to the nail salon - so why not own my own?  I ordered these online.
HOW I ORGANIZE MY BRACELETS AND MAKEUP BRUSHES:

Bracelet Organizer

Makeup brush organizer

 

 I found the bracelet holder on Ebay a few years ago.  And I found the makeup brush holder at Ikea.  It was a set of 3 different canisters, so I chose to use one of them to hold my makeup brushes.

HOW I ORGANIZE MY MAKEUP:

                                         center of makeup organizer - holds lipsticks and eyeliners

Top of Makeup organizer - holds eyeshadows and foundation

I was doodling around in Target one day, when I saw all of these items sold separately, and thought, what a wonderful idea to house my makeup.  So I snapped them up. So delicious!

HOW I ORGANIZE MY EARRINGS:

Earring Organizer

I love earrings! (and accept donations :) )  I was perusing ebay one day, and came across this big baby.  It holds a lot of pairs.  and the bottom has little hooks so that you can put bracelets/necklaces/rings on it.  This has been an organizational lifesaver!

 

 

So, how do you organize your girly things? feel free to share!
