SNEAK PEEK!  SuthinGirl’s 2015 Holiday Gift Guide

Yes, yes, YES I knooooow! I swear I’m not trying to rush us through the holiday season…I hate that, too! But while we’re cruising into the end of October trying soooo hard not to buy our favorite Halloween candy too far ahead of the big night (’cause we all know what happens when Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are in the house come 10 o’clock…) we kinda need to start thinking about all that gift-giving coming our way in December.

Starting November 25, I’ll roll out tons of new gift ideas every week until Christmas!

That’s it. No stress. It’s gonna be easy peasy. So go enjoy this gorgeous fall day without a care in the world and I’ll be back next week with the usual SuthinGirl fashion, beauty and more. But first…your Sneak Peek!

7 weeks until Hanukkah • 10 weeks until Christmas

SuthinGirl’s Mulled Cider

Ingredients:
½ gallon apple juice or cider
3 heaping Tbsp. mulling spice

Instructions:
Pour apple cider into a large stockpot and place over medium heat.
Fill mulling ball with spices and add to pot.

For SuthinGirl’s Mulled Wine, replace cider with red wine, add 1 cup of orange juice and ¼ cup of sugar (optional).
