Thanksgiving Spirits

...not the ghost kind...the drinking kind of spirits.

Now that I'm not pregnant anymore, I'm looking forward to trying one of these yummy fall drinks! Perfect for a last minute addition to your Thanksgiving menu.

And any SkinnyGirl cocktail or wine!
 
Lots to be thankful for this year!

I really love my...{tervis tumbler}

(see here for all previous posts in the I really love my... series!)

Y'all. It's hot. Even in Colorado this summer the temperatures have been record breaking. And hot.

Being pregnant AND hot? Oh boy. I can think of more fun things I've experienced.

That being said, I have had to pay extra close attention to the amount of water that I consume daily and make sure that I constantly have some close at hand.

This is where the Tervis Tumbler comes in perfectly. I always keep it filled up with cold water in the fridge so it is easy to grab when I am working around the house, blogging or headed out the door to run some errands.



It's all dishwasher safe (even the straws!), comes in lots of fun designs, has an optional handle, various sizes and has multiple different lid combos for hot or cold drinks. It keeps hot drinks hot, cold drinks cold and is double walled which means no annoying sweating on the outside of the cup.

P.S. This awesome one comes in 4 different mustache designs. Hilarious.


Have I sold you on them yet? Because they're awesome.

You can get them online here (there are a million cute designs on here!) and I've seen a huge selection at Bed Bath and Beyond (including the fun college series like I have! Gotta show my Oklahoma State pride in the CO!) I have the 24 oz. tumbler with clear lid and straws and it's perfect. This would be a great stocking stuffer or Christmas gift!

Mocktails

Have y'all heard of these?!

Crystal Light Mocktails!


Sold with the lemonade and other Crystal Light flavors at the grocery store and easily mixed up in a pitcher! We had Peach Bellini flavor at a bachelorette party in March and it was the perfect mixer for whatever you chose. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the peach bellini flavor since but they make up for it with Mojito, Margarita and Appletini.

This is great for when you need a little something besides water and would be so easy in a large drink dispenser at a bridal shower or summer cookout. Or even better, a baby shower to make the mom-to-be feel indulgent!

Also, if you have a Sam's Club near you, I saw a 3 pack with all the flavors there last week!

Makes you feel better about having a mojito with breakfast on a Tuesday,
