Thirsty Thursday: Pampadour Summer Sangria
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending the “Be Parisian For A Day Event” hosted by Fournier PR. While eating macarons (yes, I’m serious)…
Macaron heaven at Be Parisian For A Day
and getting to know all of the new beauty products I’m destined to be in love with –
Being, well, Parisian...or at least trying to be...
I spotted this:
PAMPADOUR. SUMMER. SANGRIA.
Pampadour Summer Sangria
So what is this sangria-making “Pampadour“, you ask? Well, I asked the same thing…and then I promptly signed up and became obsessed. It’s a social platform for beauty. Need more details? Here you go: If Facebook married Pinterest and it was a marriage based solely on a love of beauty then you would have Pampadour. And luckily we do. By the way, that sounds divine, doesn’t it?
I’ve played a bit on Pampadour and let me tell ya – it is ADDICTIVE!!
But back to their sangria. It was delish and they were nice enough to send me the recipe.
It’s a refreshing warm weather beverage that’s just dying to be enjoyed with friends!

Pampadour Summer Sangria:
1 bottle White Wine ( Pino Blanc or New Zealand Sauvignon – I personally prefer the $3.99 Espiral Vinho Verde from Trader Joe’s!)
1/2 c Brandy
4 c Club Soda
Sliced Plums, lemons, limes, strawberries, apples, tangerines
Serve chilled on Ice.

High-Low 4
This week was one of the most fun – and busiest – weeks of my life!
But I made it through with a myriad of memories and a bunch of new beauty products to tell you about!
Here is my High-Low this week:
HIGHS
1) After missing Rhett Miller’s show in Hermosa last weekend (due to food poisoning), by big brother took me to Rhett’s show at The Troubadour last Monday. An amazing show and a memorable night!
And I ran into some friends there! Fun!
2) I was asked to bake cupcakes for a Puppy Happy Hour that I was attending and came up with this fun recipe: Circus Animal Cookie Cupcakes. Check in on Friday to see the recipe!
And they were a hit!! Especially with my little neighbor-friend, Lucy:
3) Puppy Happy Hour on Hollywood Blvd.
4) Fournier PR & Consulting hosted a lovely “Be Parisian for a Day” event at the Sunset Marquis and I got to check out some brands that I was verrrry excited about!
Leonor Greyl, Talika, Patyka, Orlane, Votre Vu and more were there giving us a glimpse into their new and most beloved products. A super fun afternoon well spent!
5) Harry Cohn, founder of Columbia Pictures, once said: “If you must get in trouble, do it at the Chateau Marmont.” Well, we didn’t get in trouble. But I did enjoy a fabulous afternoon there on Thursday with my brother, David, and my friend, Meg, of Meg’s Makeup. We were there to see the newest products from Tarte (fabulous, let me tell you!) and I dragged my brother along. He didn’t seem to mind…
6) A new discovery: Tarte Lipsurgence in Spirited. A retro-romantic orangeish-red – perfect for summer. More on that later this week!
7) I came up with a new recipe for pie: Avocado pie with Coconut Graham Cracker Crust, Tequila Whipped Cream and Toasted Coconut. Pie-Oh-my!!

7) Backyard bonfire with good neighbor-friends
LOW
I was feeling a little low one afternoon, last week, and received 2 not-so-nice comments on YouTube. One said “Nobody cares”. I took it a little too much to heart. But if that’s the lowest low of my week, I consider myself grateful!
