Hey Loves! F & J here!

August is right around the corner which means we are in the heart of summer. There is nothing like refreshing treats to brighten up the summer nights. We know that summer is a time that reminds us all that we need to be health conscience as well. So we have 2 recipes that we have tried and LOVED and had to share!

First is a Pineapple Mango Sorbet. It was super easy to make and our ingredients made an awfully cute Insta picture. (GO CHECK IT OUT AND LIKE IT!) We mean it when we say it was easy. Prep took 10 minutes tops. All you need is a pineapple, a mango, a lime and a little bit of sugar. Make sure that your fruit is super ripe so you don't have to use too much sugar. 

 We sliced the pineapple in half and scooped out the middle. Sticking the pineapple halves in the freezer, for a cute bowl. We then cut up the mango, squeezed half a lime and added about 2 TBSP of sugar and blended them all together in the blender until they were smooth. We then poured it into the pineapple halves and stuck them back in the freezer until they were frozen solid. We checked ours in 4 hours and they were solid.

We also made a Blueberry Crumble. We found a fairly healthy recipe on pinterest and it gets our stamp of approval. Check it out here! We really really liked it and would definitely make it again to impress our friends. 

Do you have any summer treats that you love?! Comment below and let us know! We may try them out!

Up All Night

Hey Loves! F and J here!

So, you may have heard of a little band called One Direction. We hear they're pretty popular these days. Well they happened to come to Seattle and we HAD to go and we may or may not have somehow found ourselves at the Vancouver Canada show too. In our defense it was a 2 hour drive and who doesn't need an excuse to leave the country. 

First, SEATTLE! WOOT! WOOT! We are extremely proud Seattlites and happy to see them at Century Link Field where our very own Seahawks play! GO HAWKS! Outside the stadium local radio stations were pumping up the crowd and upgrading tons of tickets. Icona Pop opened for the boys. They did a fabulous job. The stadium was packed full of people singing along and dancing getting ready for the main show. The vibes were good all around! Once the boys went on stage the crowd got hysterical! We aren't typical fan girls, don't get us wrong we love the boys and their music, but we don't feel the need to scream and cry. To us they are just normal people who are extremely talented and lucky enough to do this for a living. You could tell they were exhausted but they put on a good show. We really enjoyed watching them on stage. They are so comfortable and totally belong there. It was an unforgettable experience! 

Round 2, Vancouver. They were definitely more relaxed and full of good spirits it was almost like different people up on stage, more like the boys we know they are. We had better seats at this show which gave us a new view and we can say for certain that no matter where you were sitting everyone had an amazing night. We laughed with them, Sang with them and danced our hearts out all night. Not gonna lie, we would do it all over again in a heart beat! We wouldn't be surprised if we somehow found ourselves at another show on this tour! 

If you ever get the opportunity to go to one of their shows don't pass it up. It will be worth it every time. Plus, even if for some crazy un-explainable reason you don't like their music they're definitely easy on the eyes. Like have you seen Liam and Harry? Just saying!

That's all for now. If we don't stop here we will just keep going all day!

Love,

USA is BAE

Hey Loves! F & J here! 

Yesterday was one of our favorite holidays of the year! The Fourth of July, also known as America's Independence Day. We have so many traditions that keep us busy throughout the day, that include being the parade, a GIANT BBQ party, and of course a firework show to finish the perfect night. Time has literally been flying by, we only realized that the fourth was coming up just a few days before. We love to get in spirit of the holiday so we had to think of some quick and easy things we could do to show our American Pride.

 First we made a totally adorable snack that can be used through out the summer. We made our own popsicles using Sprite, and we added raspberries and blueberries to get the patriotic feel, they were a big hit with the crowd. Super refreshing, and pretty cute if we do say so ourselves.

The next thing we did was a bit more time consuming but so worth it. It left quite the impression. We decided to bake a cake. As you can see its not as simple as it could've been but we needed something spectacular for the fourth. We always say, "Go BIG or Go Home" after all this is 'murica right?! 

We also got quite a few sparklers that we used to light up the night, we twirled and danced for hours with the people we love, it was quite unforgettable!

If you don't live in the USA, we both feel strongly that you should visit one year to see how spirited and lively this is holiday is celebrated. Everyone is celebrating the same thing, and there is just good vibes all around. 

One of our favorite things is going down to the lake because you can see all the fireworks going off all over the skyline, it's truly magnificent. 

Love,

F & J
