The most important question of the season is naughty or nice? This edition is a total Urban overhaul on how to make XMAS into XXXMAS! So get out your J. Beiber Christmas album and tell your mom to move on over because it is your turn to kiss Santa Claus!
When hosting an XXXMAS dinner always remember that an Urban Woman keeps a totally flirty and fab exterior. I mentioned my naughty elf costume a few posts ago, but think outside the box to achieve your personal best style:
-apron with some tinsel on the edges
-garland as a hair tie or halter top
-pinesol dabbed behind the ears for a seasonal sexy scent!
-instead of going to the salon for your regular press on nails think about sculpting your own pointers out of gingerbread cookie dough. It is necessary to use a little modge podge to hold them in place, but once the dough dries they look and feel totally fab. For a naughty twist make a few of them into the shape of candy canes.
Here are some of my fave XXXmas recipes & mocktails!
Naughty: Cranberry Jingler
- 2 parts non alcoholic vodka (can be substituted for potato juice)
- 1 part fresh distilled mineralized local organic H20
- a dash of citron which is an exotic fruit you may not find at your local grocery store-if so, check for jello powder in this flavour
- Shake your money maker until all ingredients are mixed
- Garnish with a previously enjoyed cranberry teabag and a jingle bell
- Enjoy
Nice: Ginger Balls
- Grate 2 pounds of fresh ginger into a vat (try to clean out the vat before using it as a receptacle-otherwise fingernail clippings tend to find their way into things)
- let the ginger sit for a few days so the liquid can evaporate-not only does this make the ginger more workable but it also gives your home a really nice smell sort of like chinese restaurant and a dollop of love
- roll the ginger into balls
- take a kraft single slice and use it as a 'wonton wrapper' for the ginger. If you warm the cheese up with your hands slightly you will be able to press the edges together to form a seal around the ginger ball
- sprinkle each ball with some xxxmas coloured sprinkles
- add some coconut flakes as garnish to your platter
- Enjoy
Naughty: Macaroni Angelz
- Get really creative with your macaroni angelz this year-instead of sticking with the regular noodle shape try something a little more wacky-such as rotini, spaghetti, or lasagne
- use your fave eyeliner to draw sexy costumes on each of the angelz
- to transform this funky craft/xxxmas decor idea into an easy appy boil the noodles for 5 minutes in salty water
- mist with peanut oil to give them some shimmer before serving
- Enjoy
Nice: Mistletoe Salad with Meat Wreath
- This is a spin off of the classic french dish "Miscoise Salad"
- Take mistletoe, wash, dice & julienne
- Put in bowl
- Put your favourite cold cuts (think bologna, salami and mortadella) onto a platter in the shape of a wreath-put your salad bowl in the middle of the wreath
- Enjoy
- To add a little fun think about playing spin the bottle around the table at your family XXXMas dinner, this is a totally chic way of adding new tradition to old tradition.
Naughty: XXXMAS Tree Ornaments
Warning: This is not edible
- Sexy bras dangling from the boughs make any xxxmas tree look a little daring
- Use your fave winter twigs and berries to adorn your tree
- Instead of regular white fairy lights think about red lights that flash
- DIY: Make your own ornaments by using photos of yourself in your elf costume! Punch a hole in the top and use a string to hang on your tree
While I was doing all of my XXXmas prep I started humming and got totally inspired to write a new Xmas carol. I think this one will go down in history (like Charlize Brown)!
Sung to the tune of Jingle Bells
Christmas time
Christmas thyme
Christmas is so urban
Oh how fab it is to sip
a mocktail made of bourbon, hey!
Until next time,
Urban Woman
