The Super Bowl. Yes…I bet you never thought that you’d read about such an event on THIS blog, right? Well there comes a time when you (and I) have to accept that the Super Bowl is an event that you can’t avoid, especially if you have a boyfriend, husband or even a ton of guy friends. Here’s my cheat sheet to surviving the most boring day of the year:
1. Learn which teams are playing. You don’t need to know details, just learn their names, colors and what city/state they’re from. This year, it’s the San Francisco (California!) 49ers versus the Baltimore (Maryland) Ravens. San Fran is red and gold and the Ravens are a purplish blue and black. Check.
2. Find a good cocktail that you can drink for the whole game. Belvedere Vodka created a delicious concoction called “The Big Easy,” obviously named after New Orleans (where the SB is taking place) and I’m way into it.
- 1.5 oz. Belvedere Citrus
- 3/4 oz. Canton ginger liqueur
- 1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice
- Apple cider top
- Shake and strain citrus, lemon juice and Canton into a highball filled with cubed ice
- Garnish with a lemon slice
3. Accessorize with “your” team’s colors. Now, I don’t have a team, per se, but since I live in California, I feel the need to support the 49ers. And luckily for me, I have a TON of red and gold but if you don’t, try just throwing on some gold bracelets and earrings. Easy.
4. Find some (somewhat) healthy food to eat. Aside from Halloween, I can’t really think of another day where you might possibly eat more junk food. Not that I don’t LOVE fried wings and nachos, but ya know…we gotta keep it in CHECK. Here a few great, healthy recipes that I found on various sites:
As much as you probably hate to admit it, the Kardashian empire is totally fascinating. Admit it. Kim has managed to, as Kanye puts it via song, become a “superstar from a home movie” so yeah, I’ll go and watch her host a beauty event for charity. 
In my experience, you’re either a rum/gin person or a tequila/vodka person, and I’m definitely the latter. Today is national tequila day so naturally, I plan on going home, going to the gym and topping off my night with a quick tequila shot. But just in case you’re not as gross as I am (you’re probably not), I wanted to share my favorite Margarita mixer, 
Today is the official day! The Hunger Games is out in theaters and boy, am I excited to not be at any movie theater today. In honor of the talked-about movie, Belvedere has created a “District 12” cocktail (and enough for a party!) that is pretty delicious.
Cookies n’ cream is hands down my absolute favorite ice cream and since Belvedere is one of my favorite vodkas, I honestly can’t think of anything better than this recipe.
Spring is practically here and I’m totally into this fun cocktail, created by Stephanie Sanders, the corporate mixologist for NINETHIRTY and The Backyard Restaurants at W Los Angeles in Westwood.
