Spring makes me want to get crafty! I think it's because the flowers are blooming and I feel the need to get in on all that creation. This weekend is set to be gawwwgeous, so I think it's the perfect opportunity to get out in the sun (perhaps on a supa cool pimped out patio?) and get DIY'ing.

Last year around this time, I did a little infusion magic with vodka and Jolly Ranchers. It was awesome (if I do say so myself). Some 7 Up and Sprite added to the mix and I was ready to hit the BBQs with summer cocktail in hand. This time around, I'm ready to take infusion to the next level. I'm going to be experimenting with new flavours and liquors.

Want to come with me on this...

When I was younger, I believed the ice cream truck to be the first sign of summer. These days, while an ice cream truck still delights me more than it should, I recognize the start of summer by the first day where I actually need sunglasses. I love that long awaited day. While it may not be bare legged weather yet, the addition of sunglasses is a fun way to ease into the summer sun...

Maybe it's that Mr. Sun has finally started showing his face around here or that I've finally gotten my skin issues under control. Or maybe it's just that I've been in a really good mood lately, but I am absolutely loving my current beauty routine. I've been testing out a few new things recently and either I've had a streak of good luck or these products are darn good...

Okay, so don't tell anyone here at CA, but I'm totally planning on taking a 'mental health sick day' on a Friday as soon as the weather gets warmer. Me + sangria + backyard deck + sunshine - work = perfection. 

I mean, what? Me, skipping work? Never! I'm totally joking Ali (cue nervous laughter)
