Winter Carnivale Giveaway

This past weekend has called for snuggly blankets, endless Netflix and all things cozy. Thankfully, the weather looks like it will be warming up this week, so going outside won't be an unbearable thought.

Here's one of my favorite chilly weather drinks and carnivale-themed drinks! Enjoy this combination to get into the spirit for this weekend's fabulous time. 

I've always loved popcorn. It's my favorite crunchy, salty, delicious snack. Toss it with a little olive oil, garlic and herb seasoning, parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt. YUM! In true Olivia Pope style, popcorn must be paired with a large glass of red wine. Since it's so chilly, warming it up is even better. I don't really like to follow a recipe. Oops! I prefer to combine two or three recipes and come up with my own twist! For this mulled wine, I actually followed this particular recipe! Mmmm. So good.
