Sunny’s “Be Happy!” Comedy Video ~ Tip #4
“Be Happy!” ~ Tip #4 ~ Make a Favorite Meal
As we wrap up this month long commitment to improving our happiness by adding more laughter into our lives, I hope this video will give you a laugh for the day and help boost your happiness quotient.
With the election coming up next week and all the divisive rhetoric that inundates us all, I think this might just be the week we need joy and laughter in our lives the most! I hope my videos this month have given you a reason to chuckle. I do believe sharing a laugh has a way of bringing us all together, even if for a short time, and reminds us that we do have a lot of things in common. I have seen this in the poler opposite groups of people who have enjoyed my videos and it is encouraging and makes me feel better! Laughter can be a unifier.
And, make sure to join me later this week for another “Be Happy Hour!” and lets celebrate another reason to share a laugh! ~ More info. coming soon ~ stay tuned!
Live, Love, Laugh & Be Happy! ~ Sunny
National Martini Day! Cheers!
In honor of National Martini Day I have cooked up something extra special and serving up some fun wearing my fun, new apron that I created for the dish that doesn’t cook, but still likes the dressing! 😉 You can get your very own by clicking the apron link below. I hope you enjoy the video ~ and the apron! ~ Cheers! Sunny xo
P.S. I have lots of other fun products available featuring the same design so make sure to browse around while you’re shopping at my Zazzle boutique:) Thank you so much, Sunny!
Funny Retro Pin-up Girl Style Apron
A perfect gift for the dish who doesn’t cook, but still likes the dressing. ~ You are sure to keep up appearances as the “Hostess with the Mostest” when you take that selfie wearing this fun, retro inspired pinup girl style apron. ~ After all, you wouldn’t want to give the wrong impression.
A Bea-u-TEA-ful Birthday Celebration!
You’re Invited……… A custom invitation always makes it a special occasion.
This post is for my fellow tea party lovers out there. As I have mentioned before, I love the whole idea of Afternoon Tea. And, if I can combine it with a visit with a girlfriend then it’s made even more special. I recently got to do just that when I threw an Un-Birthday Tea Party for my girlfriend, Vicki. We have been friends since we were two years old and went to nursery school together all the way through high school graduation! So, can you imagine my disbelief when I realized that I mistakenly wished her a happy birthday ten days after her b’day?! I got the wrong day! This called for a very special make-it-up-to-her party! So, I threw her an Un-Birthday Tea Party!
Your Tea Party hostess with the mostest! 🙂 I got this cute spring floral maxi dress from Steinmart.
Set a pretty Tea Table ~ I set up outside in my courtyard. Luckily the weather cooperated! Use your prettiest serving pieces. And, remember to have flowers!
The other star of the Tea Table is a Victoria Sponge Cake. This is a Raspberry Jam Cake. Amazing! I will post the recipe.
I enjoy any reason to entertain (on and off the stage!) so I had great fun planning all the details of this very special occasion for my very special friend. I hope you enjoy this little gallery of photos I took to document the festivities. And, maybe it will inspire you to celebrate one of your special girlfriends with a beautiful tea party. Just don’t wait until you miss her birthday!!
*This lovely Tea Party would also be a perfect way to celebrate Mom on Mother’s Day!
SUNny DAY Post: X-Mas In July…….in August!
It’s that time of year again! Actually, it was that time of year again last month for our annual X-Mas in July “Epic Southern Living Magazine Christmas Cake Baking Party!” However, this year one of my nieces couldn’t make it for any dates in July so we moved it to August. And, once again, it was a chaotic, but fun, success!
Here is the cake we decided to make this year:
Ta Da! We did it! The Southern Living Magazine Chocolate Citrus Orange Cake with Candied Oranges and Chocolate Ganache Filling!
This annual tradition came about a few years ago when I realized that Continue reading
X-Mas in July!
Christmas in July!
My God, I’m Hot!-In the kitchen!-In July!! 😉
Here we are with the finished Southern Living Gift Box Cake!
A couple of month’s ago I was texting with my youngest niece, Sam, when she sent me a picture of a cake she had baked from scratch and she said it reminded of her of a Southern Living Magazine Christmas Cake. (If you haven’t read my essay I wrote for B-Metro Magazine on my daughter’s and my adventures with baking those cakes every Christmas for several years, you can find it in my book “LMAO! A collection of humor essays to help you lose weight!” at amazon.) We decided then and there that we would get together and have a Christmas in July Party and bake one of the Southern Living Christmas Cakes. Continue reading
