The Ultimate Margarita Recipe



The content is intended for adults of the ages 21+
I am not a big drinker, but when it comes to hosting a girls get-together in the summer time - Margarita is my favorite cocktail of choice. Whether it's frozen or on the rocks, from delicious variants like strawberry to chipotle and more... It's actually the #1 cocktail in the US, with 70% of them made from scratch at home...who knew? :) Today I am going to share with you the one secret ingredient that turns ordinary margarita into a an extraordinary one - Agavero Orange. It's a tequila based liquor (delicious on its own too!) that is the perfect addition to any margarita recipe. It's Gran Centenario tequila's perfect match, and it's your dance partner, party pleaser and top-secret ingredient ;)
My ultimate margarita recipe is ironically very simple. I am not a big cook, neither I am a great mixologist. I prefer to eat simply and mix accordingly. Here is my ultimate recipe for the simplest and delicious margarita:
- 1 part  Gran Centenario Tequila
- 1 part Agavero Orange Liqueur
- 1 part lime juice
Shake and pour over ice! Serve with salty rim and enjoy ;)
And what are your favorite margarita flavors?

Back to Athleisure

Athleisure style is huge trend these days and I couldn't be happier. What can be better than the look you can take from gym to brunch to strolling around town. I love this look that I created with VIP.com latest collection. Their site is amazing for finding great limited deals and discounts. The items are super adorable (as you can see), shipping is easy, and the selection is always changing. The top that I am wearing here has the cutest print I have seen, and the leggings are a classic staple piece. You can use code Diane724 for $5 OFF on orders over $50 at vip.com.

Wipe the night away with these affordable products

I don't change up my beauty routine too much, because if I find products that work, it's hard to convince me that there is something better out there. But every once in a while I explore new products out of necessity, like having to stay overnight at a friend's house because it's too long of a drive back home (LA problems!). On one of those nights I was forced to go to a local Walmart and find myself a whole new beauty routine at an affordable price as I only needed it for one night originally. After exploring countless options, I got myself 4 products that are now my favorites long after I needed them for one time use. Not only they are effective, they are also extremely affordable and they all smell delicious! Here are 4 top products that I hand picked from the shelves of Walmart:
1) For the glowing skin, I recommend to exfoliate 3x a week with St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub - love the smell and the texture!
2) Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes are a skin savior wherever the day takes you, they are easy to use and super effective!
3) Start the day fresh with Noxzema Classic Clean Original Deep Cleansing Cream - love the eucalyptus smell!
4) For night time moisturizing I recommend PONDS Dry Skin Cream to lock in moisture for those who suffer from occasional dry skin.
All of these products are available at your local Walmart with great saving deals. SHOP HERE!

5 reasons why I love living in Venice

This post is sponsored by ForRent.com but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.
As you know, I made a big move last year (within LA area) - from a perfectly clean and safe Beverly Hills to a diverse and vibrant Venice Beach. As a former luxury freak, I thought I wouldn't like Venice (or anywhere outside Beverly Hills), but it turned out that not only the area and the beach culture grew on me, but it also taught me so much about myself and opened up my mind in ways that I never imagined. As a creative constantly looking to get inspired, I can't imagine any other place to live that will give me so much satisfaction. So here are the best things about living in Los Angeles, particularly in Venice.

1) The weather. The weather in LA is perfect for long term living. Not too cold in the winter, warm summers (with chilly nights so that you are not too hot) with perfectly blue skies without a single cloud on them.
