It’s the perfect drink to unwind after a long day, impress your friends at a party, or simply enjoy a refreshing treat on a warm afternoon.

Last year, I made the best decision by adding a kitchenette to my new studio. My partner, Jared, wasn’t initially convinced, but I knew it would be a game-changer. And let me tell you, I was right! The amount of creative cocktail concoctions we’ve whipped up in that little space is astonishing. Our most recent creation? This delightful Pink Lemonade Cocktail!

A Touch of Inspiration

While creating fun and colorful content is our passion, it’s essential to remember why we put in the hard work. Do you ever use visual reminders to stay motivated?

I love using inspirational images and goal photos to keep my eye on the prize, especially on those challenging days. They help me remember what I’m working towards and fuel my drive.

Speaking of inspiration, I’m thrilled to share that our studio was recently featured on Gray Malin! Their prints bring the perfect blend of prettiness and wanderlust-inducing motivation to “get your rear in gear so you can travel!”

Gray Malin is celebrating office decorating ideas, and I shared some insights on their blog about styling our office with their fun prints. You can read the full article here. Afterwards, prepare yourself for happy hour with this easy cocktail recipe.
