Tequila Soaked Watermelon + Sale + Necklace+ Winner

Happy Friday Ladies.  I am so ready for a low key weekend here in town with my boys!  Sadly the high here this weekend is going to be 100 degrees.  That is hot- btw today I muttered to myself "it is hot as balls outside" and now Sterling keeps saying "hot as balls."  Looks like I need to check my mouth in the future.  Since it is going to be super hot everywhere I have a cool treat that is perfect to help you beat the heat, Tequila Soaked Watermelon. 


This is like a margarita infused Watermelon.  It is so light and refreshing but beware you can get tipsy off these babies.  I made them last night for our Taco Night and they were delish.  I adapted Martha Stewart's recipe.  Hers calls for triple sec and sugar but that is not how I like my magaritas anyways.  I basically made a batch of my skinny ritas and poured that over the watermelon and let it soak. 




TEQUILA SOAKED WATERMELON
1 Baby Seedless Watermelon sliced
1/2 cup good tequila ( I use Hornitos for our Ritas, it is not crazy expensive but it is good)
1-2 limes juiced
2 tablespoons agave Nectar
Coarse Salt

Layer the Watermelon in baking dish.  Mix next three ingredients and pour over Watermelon.  Let sit in fridge at least 45 minutes or longer.  Sprinkle with Coarse Salt when ready to serve.

I know everyone and their brother has bought the Ebay JCrew Bauble Necklace and I swore I wouldn't just because of that.   Normally I try not to do what everyone else is doing but I could not resist.  I kept seeing several friends in these necklaces and they looked and felt like the real ones.  I compared in store and they seemed identical.  So call me a poser or a copy cat but I ordered one too.  For a mere $14 (its free shipping too) you can have one of these beauties.  I went with yellow and I love it.  Here is to hoping if everyone jumps off a bridge I stay strong and do my own thing.

Oh my word, that watermelon tequila with that much salt on it - YUMMO! And I'm on the bandwagon too, have the bubble necklace in about three colors. Wore my yellow one on Wednesday. Looks great on you! Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

PS I know you're a fan of Baublebar. Check out my post this morning. I'm thinking you'll love the bright colors of the featured designer, Noble House Designs.

Julia Ryan said...

Leslie said...

I just received my bubble necklace in the mail. I'm definitely a fan, and I can't wait to wear it this weekend! Tequila soaked watermelon sounds amazing. :)

oh i wish i never would've seen the site for the sweet baby stuff...you are going to get me in trouble lady ;)

Kaitlin said...

I caved in and bought the necklace as well. Everyone seems to have it in blog land, but I must say, it's a really cute knock-off! And, I couldn't agree more w/ your previous post about the Bachelorette & the OC Housewives. Emily sure is cute, but I am bored to death watching her.

Christina said...

I feel you on the trend thing. But I say if you love something, do it! I hope you don't love jumping off bridges.

Baby Shopaholic said...

The watermelon sounds AWESOME! It's ok to get that necklace. Its super cute! I love mine to death. I would love to have a yellow one.

Chassity (Look Linger Love) said...

Hello watermelon goodness. I want in on that. Can we have a house party (at yours of course so you can make everything bahahaha) upon my return? ;)

KatiePerk said...

I seriously love that J.Crew Bauble necklace! It's perfection.

Pink and Green Mom said...

HAHAHA I said "hot as balls" the other day and my son said it right back... Sadly, it's not the worst thing he's repeated after me. Hot here in Savannah too! Stay cool, girl!

Aubrey {All Things Bright and Beautiful} said...

Hehehe...don't worry, every time I wear my j crew necklace, I get a grip of peeps asking where I got it, so not everyone has one yet (c; And I *LOVE* the yellow version!

Chicago Mom (Heather) said...

I love your slightly "puffy sleeve" t-shirt. Where did you get it? Where can I get one? I need it!! :-)

OK I must get that necklace now too!!!

Jill said...

I need a quite weekend too, with a little vodka soaked watermelon!!

Have a great weekend!!

KimmySue said...

I wouldn't say you copied everyone, but that you were insprired by everyone! :) And now I'm inspired by you! What seller did you purchase from on ebay?

Michaela said...

Okay....YUM. Trying that this summer for sure. And such a pretty yellow necklace! I need to jump on that train asap.

Christina said...

Okay, I didn't buy one for the same reason, but in YELLOW? I want now! Do you mind sharing what seller you purchased through, pretty please?

Gaby [The Vault Files] said...

I love the colors of your outfit, and I'm pretty sure the necklace comes from the same factory that does the J.Crew ones, and for $14!! that's a total score!

Michelle @ Ten June said...

DON'T TEMPT ME with that tequila watermelon. It looks faaaaabulous!

Kyle said...

I am making your watermelon recipe for a July 4th party this week. I know it will be a hit. : ) Also, I just ordered the J.Crew Ebay necklace in turquoise. It really does have such a similar look and feel to the real thing.

Alexa said...
