Housewarming Gifts

Good morning! It’s a rainy day here in NYC. Really rainy actually… It makes me just want to stay inside, but I have big plans for today which include grocery shopping, a sample sale and some gym time (I’ve missed my Brazilian workout. I haven’t done it in so long) so I can’t stay in!

So, my bestest friend JH just recently moved into her new apartment and I was going to see it for the first time yesterday. I wanted to bring her a housewarming present, but I wasn’t sure exactly what. After a bit of thinking I decided on a themed basket of household goodies.

As JH is a big fan of the color green, I decided the theme should be green

I decided to pick up an array of some green kitchen goodies for her.

They included some green lined kitchen towels, two adorable green plates, green measuring cups and a green dotted mug.

You can’t really see the mug in the picture up top so here’s a better view.

I also picked up an adorable basket to wrap everything in. I knew she could put the basket to good use too, to store things like dvd’s, bathroom stuff, books, headbands…etc.

Here it is all wrapped up:

I brought it over and she was very happy Success!

I went over around dinner time and we were hungry so we cooked up a simple meal.

We decided on JH’s signature salad (spinach, goats cheese, walnuts and craisins with a balsamic dressing) You have to get more veggies in there, JH…or even some fruit!!!

And some Annie’s mac and cheese. I forgot to take a picture, so this is when I only had a couple bites left in my bowl! 
  
Love Annies

Also, wanted to give a big thanks to Nicole from Healthy Chow who wrote about me and my little blog yesterday in her quest to meet new bloggers this month.
She is the sweetest! Thanks Nicole!

Have a great Wednesday! Hope it’s not too rainy where you are.
