I love, love this. If not for any other reason, just as a reminder on those bad days that sneak up.

On the Rocks: St. Joe’s Blueberry Mojito.
I had my first experience with mojitos at a fusion restaurant/bar in Minneapolis’ Uptown area called Chino Latino. (PS: If you’re ever in the area eat there – you won’t be sorry!) Since that day back in 2003 they’ve become one of my favorite cocktails. I think it’s the combination of mint and lime that floats my boat. That said, I’m really anxious to try out St. Joe’s Blueberry Mojito and its twist on the classic!
Ingredients:
– 10 mint leaves
– 10 blueberries
– 3/4 oz simple syrup
– 1 oz lime juice
– 1 oz chilled club soda
– 1 oz chilled Sprite
– 1 1/2 oz gold rum
In a cocktail glass, muddle blueberries, simple syrup, and mint. Fill the glass with ice. Pour the lime juice, club soda, sprite, and rum into the glass, pouring the liquid over the back of a spoon to avoid disturbing as much mint as possible. Swirl the glass to mix, and enjoy!

The Daily Eat: Blueberry Focaccia.
I’m a bread girl. I’m the one who will fill up on the bread basket and not be hungry for the main course. I just can’t help myself! This Blueberry Focaccia wouldn’t stand a chance in my house.

Red Ruby Rose Clutches.
The clutches at Red Ruby Rose are some of the hottest I’ve seen. Rowena, the designer behind the shop, crafts them as an outlet to her ever-increasingly digital day job. She even creates some of the fabrics using her own photography and collage techniques. All of the colors and patterns are incredibly varied, so you’re sure to find something that catches your eye. I found about ten on the first page alone!

The Daily Eat: Blueberry Milkshake.
It’s going to be a blazer today here in OKC (100ยบ!) as well as throughout much of the midwest and a cool and creamy blueberry milkshake could not sound more divine. Love the marshmallows floating on top!

Karpati.
Australian-made Karpati nail polishes are free from toluene, formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate which is great because they’re all unnecessary and potentially harmful chemicals.
But what I would buy this polish for is the bottle design alone. It’s super functional by slipping over two fingers, eliminating the need for a surface to set the bottle on. I’ve spilled more than my share of nail polish and ruined countless things in the process and this is such a simple, effective design solution. (Although it irks me that the image has dark red being painted onto orangey-red nails, which is odd and inconsistent… is that strange?)

365 Days.
November 17, 2008 Amy Mortimer started her 365 Days project. One photograph a day for an entire year. And the results are really beautiful. I’m impressed with the level of dedication an undertaking such as this requires as well as the diversity in the photographs from day to day. Not to even mention the willingness to be transparent and show off your life in such a way. Beautiful.
