Summer Noms: Sweet and Salty Caramel Corn

My favorite snack food in the ENTIRE world has got to be Johnson's Caramel Corn straight off the boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ. Unfortunately, I can't get it all year around, but I was lucky enough to stumble upon this neat little recipe that allows me to get my caramel corn fix whenever I want, and it's quick and easy!

What You'll Need:
2 bags microwave popcorn, popped
1 stick salted butter
1 ½ cups light brown sugar
½ tsp baking soda
½ tbsp sea salt (or more, to your taste)

Step 1: Place a stick of butter into a heated saucepan at medium-high heat.
Step 2: Add sugar to butter.
Step 3: Whisk continuously to combine, until it starts to bubble. Let the caramel bubble for another minute or so – it’ll start to look like caramel.  
Step 4: Remove from heat and whisk in the baking soda. 
Step 5: Empty microwave popcorn into a large paper bag.
Step 6: Immediately pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn.
Step 7: Fold the bag shut and shake, shake, shake. Step 8: Pour into a large serving bowl and sprinkle with sea salt. The caramel will dry on quickly, and then you can break up any remaining stuck-together-bits easily.
Step 9: Serve and enjoy in your favorite summer dress like this one from Mata Traders, on sale now at Arcadia!

Seedless Summer Fun!

I know everyone is complaining about the heat and wishing it were winter already - but wait! There's seriously so much that you're going to miss when it starts getting colder! Wearing sundresses, drinking fruity frozen drinks, jumping through sprinklers, going to the beach - you've got to get in as much fun as you can! So, to start you off, here's instructions on how to make a watermelon keg and a some quick recipes to put in it!

 Easy Watermelon Punch

+ 1 Seedless Watermelon
+ 3 Cups Seltzer

Scoop out the flesh of the watermelon and puree in a food processor or blender. Strain through a sieve and discard of any large solid pieces. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Combine with seltzer before serving.

Watermelon and Strawberry Lemonade

+ 8 Cups Watermelon, cubed and seeded

+ 1 cup strawberries, halved

+ 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

+ 1 cup white sugar

+ 2 cups water (or seltzer for a sparkle!)

Combine ingredients and blend until smooth!

This is Lyla my 4 Month old Shiba Inu! The Shiba Inu is the smallest of the six original and distinct breeds of dog from Japan.

Shiba Inu is Japanese for Wolf Head Deer Body.... just kidding!

                                     Shiba means brushwood in Japanese and Inu means Dog :)

Lyla at Goose Rocks Beach in Maine. She was afraid of the water but loved eating the seaweed!

She loves visiting the Arcadia in Northern Liberties for a milk bone! xoxo Betsy

I got into our Northern Liberties store today and had plenty of goodies waiting for me to open!

I LOVED SixtySeven Enrica Leather Ankle Boots soon as I brought it out of the box! I can't wait to buy myself a pair!

The easy little heel, the understated metal tip, and the perfect ankle height makes these booties a no-brainer! They'd be awesome with a great pair of jeans or a little floral dress!

We also received our long-awaited Krysta top by BB Dakota! The bright all-over tribal print and twill-weave make it a great transitioning piece!
