Posted In recipesSet of three Chapter Books from the Marya Collection at Girl of All Work. I can think of about a million things these blank journals would be perfect for.

Ingredients:
• 2 basil leaves
• 3/4 oz fresh-squeezed lemon juice
• 1 1/2 oz gin
• 1 oz simple syrup
• 1 oz club soda
Gently muddle 1 basil leaf with the lemon juice in the bottom of a mixing glass. Add the gin and simple syrup and shake well. Pour over crushed ice in a cute glass. Top with a splash of soda and garnish with a basil leaf. Serves 1.

It’s geared toward teens (although she’s never raised one) and full of rants, witty observations, anecdotes, handmade collages (of course), photos, flirt cards, fill-in-the-blanks and random games. If I had a teenage daughter she would definitely own a copy of this wisdom-filled bible of adolescent knowledge. In fact, I sort of want to own it myself.
