It's Almost Christmas and You Don't Have Any Gifts?! Well DIY

Couldn't find any amazing gifts this holiday season? Why not bake something? We've attached some of our creations that we gave as gifts. Hopefully you can play with these ideas and create your own special gifts for the people on your list. The gift of baked goods not only is more personal and fun but it is a known fact that a way to a persons heart is through their stomach :) So, this holiday season we created bites boxes for our loved ones. Each box contains an assortment of bite size desserts. We made coconut truffles, peppermint truffles, bite size rice krispy treats, and even lemon truffles. We are currently working on Santa hat mini cupcakes. To keep with the season, we used festive sprinkles and kept everything green, red, and gold. If you are running out of ideas, don't worry you still have time to create your own bites box. Look up some of your favorite recipes and start baking! Only 2 full days left!

My Favorites - Paris

Paris is one of the greatest cities in the world. It is by far my favorite city to visit and here are some reasons why:

Macarons

From Laduree to Pierre Herme, Paris has the BEST macarons. They do not even compare to the ones here. The Parisian macarons are so soft and flavorful. My favorite would have to be the creme brulee macarons at Pierre Herme.

Food

Yes macarons are amazing, but we still need real food and Paris has great options to choose from. From the cafes to the brasseries, almost everything you eat in Paris is AMAZING. My go to staple food items in Paris are: steak frites, croque monsieur, and baguettes. For the best steak frites, visit L'Entrocote.

Shopping

Once you have eaten the amazing Parisian food, it is time to hit the streets and do some shopping. Paris is the fashion capital of the world after all. I go to Paris for Chanel. There is something about it that makes you feel great. If you are ever in Paris, you must visit the flagship Chanel store.

Chanel isn't the only thing Paris shopping has to offer. The department stores, such as Printemps, are enormous and offer everything you could possibly want from any designer. You will also find great little boutiques just walking around. I stumbled upon many treasures just exploring the different neighborhoods of Paris.

There you have it. Paris is the best city in the world. It has great food and great shopping, but most of all it has macarons!



Another weekend ends

Another fabulous weekend is over. I spent the weekend going to some of my favorite spots around LA. If you live in LA or if you are ever in the area make sure you hit up these great places:

For going out, hit up the Huntley hotel in Santa Monica. Their penthouse bar is a great spot to grab drinks.

For high end shopping or just some window shopping and people watching, grab some coffee and take a stroll down rodeo drive. You might see a Bugatti on the side of the road.

After seeing some fabulous clothes and cars, grab some brunch at joans on third. Their short rib sandwich is amazing. Then come back to reality and do some shopping at the Beverly Center.

These are a couple of my favorite places. More to come...

Flowers or candy?

Do girls like flowers or candy? Most girls would say both. With the bites bouquet, you can get both in one. The beauty of flowers with the sweetness of candy. Delicious cake pops are arranged in a gorgeous bouquet. Forget flowers! I would love for someone to send me a bites bouquet!
