Watermelon Sidecar Singer

Hello, friends!

Do you ever plan time to just reflect about things that you’re passionate about? If someone asked me to name one thing that I was passionate about, it would be writing. It’s always moved me in a way that was so sincere, so genuine, and so impactful. My love for writing has brought me to a lot of fun places in my life, from first starting my blog to working with fun companies, and so much more. It’s given me a way to express myself, it’s such an amazing feeling to just be able to pour your mind onto the computer, that clickity-clack of the keys, ah, it’s magical. Sometimes I think about what my life would be like if I never started writing, never started my blog, I wonder what outlet I would have found. It’s so important to find the things that you’re passionate about – and chase after them.

I’ve always loved this quote —

“The things you are passionate about are not random, they are your calling.” ― Fabienne Fredrickson

I also have a huge passion for music, not that I’m a great singer or can play an instrument, but I love listening to music. And let’s be honest, nothing can beat the feeling of riding at night with the windows down, having that cool breeze in your hair, singing your heart out to your favorite songs.

The folks that make Rémy Martin Cognac believe in passion too, which is why they’re running a sweepstakes to encourage us to define our many passions, and celebrate the many talents that make up who we are!

As a millennial from the Detroit area, it’s kind of impossible to not have an appreciation for music. It is after all Motown. So as an throw-back to Detroit and it’s rich musical history, I created a fun drink that I lovingly call a Watermelon Sidecar Singer! I can’t wait to show you how it’s made!

Now, ready for the recipe?

Watermelon Sidecar Singer

Ingredients:

1 cup cubed Watermelon

1 Watermelon wedge

1/2 Lemon (juiced)

1 cup Ice

2 tbs Rémy Martin Cognac

1 tbs vodka

Lemon Sugar (or make your own)

Steps:

  1.   Put cubed watermelon in blender and blend until completely smooth.
  2.   In a shaker, add 1 cup of ice, your watermelon juice, 1tbs of lemon juice, 2 tbs Rémy Martin Cognac, 1 tbs vodka, and shake.
  3.   Rim your glass with lemon juice, and lemon sugar.
  4.   Pour shaker contents into the glass, garnish with watermelon wedge and lemon slice!

    That looks and sounds delicious! You made me stop to think about what I am passionate about. I’ve found I have placed myself on the back burner since having kids, so haven’t given much thought to that question before. I loved the quote by Fabienne!

🌙✨INTRO TIME✨🌙 Hi, friends! There are l 🌙✨INTRO TIME✨🌙

Hi, friends! There are lots of new faces around here thanks to @roseybeeme - (thank you so much, Rosey) so I wanted to do an intro!

👋🏼 Hi, I’m Kendall!

✨ I live with chronic illness and am in pain every single day. I try to lead with positivity so it doesn’t swallow me whole.

✨ I met my husband at a coffee shop. I used to go to write in my journal and escape - at that time I was living in my car and having a warm comfy space to relax and collect my thoughts was essential. Meeting William saved my life. More on that later. 

✨ I’m an enneagram 2 and a highly-sensitive person. What does this mean? I’m super empathetic towards others and can almost feel their emotions. I carry the weight of others a lot - I enjoy making people feel better. Oh, and I cry, a lot.

✨ I started my blog back in 2009 when my endometriosis pain kept me from being able to do anything. It was something I could do from home, in bed, to connect with the outside world. I never thought it’d end up being my full-time career, passion, and how my hubby & I provide for our family. Just know when you like & comment on my content - you’re truly helping our fam! ♥️

✨ I have two sons. Wyatt is 9 and has Autism. He’s taught me so much about patience, love, and life. I wouldn’t change anything about him, even on the hard days, because I know he was born to do great things. My youngest son is Levi, he is 6 and was born with clubfoot. He did treatment for 4 years, had surgery, and has worn several casts to correct his foot. If you saw him now, you’d never know!

✨ I am happier now at 34 than I have ever been in my entire life. I always wanted a family that loved me. I always wanted to feel safe. Now I have both.

✨ I believe that you can make whatever you want out of life. Your beginnings only make you stronger - your future is your own. 

💕✨ TELL ME ABOUT YOU! What’s something you feel comfortable sharing so we can get to know eachother better! ✨💕

✨Why is it always so easy to believe the bad thi ✨Why is it always so easy to believe the bad things that are said about us, as opposed to the good?✨

🧠 Could it be because at some point those same negative thoughts have echoed in our own heads as well?

Too fat.
Too loud.
Too opinionated.
Too sick.
Too moody.

Remember that you’re never too much of anything. Protect your space, energy, time, and most importantly, your heart.

You deserve to be surrounded by good people that want good things for you. If at any time you feel that you need to take a step back, reevaluate and realign, do so!

🧠 Your mental health and how you feel about yourself is so incredibly important. ✨GOOD✨ things are coming your way and you won’t be able to see the light if you never flip the switch.

🥵 When I wake up on a bad pain day and already feel defeated it can be hard to make my toes touch the floor. Sometimes my body and mind make me feel like there’s no point - that whatever my day holds will include an intense pain, and I’ll have to deal with it whether I like it or not.

💕 But if I stretch myself just a little, put on a cute sweatsuit and mascara - I begin to build an armor. But instead of this armor keeping me safe from the world, it’s keeping me safe from myself, my illness, and the thought that it controls me.

☁️ It’s like being wrapped in warm, cozy comfort, even though your insides are hurting. And on weeks where I just can’t get a break with my pain, I kick things up a notch and throw on a party dress - preferably something with a little pizzaz. 

✨That’s why I really fell in love with clothing, because I can’t change the inside, I can’t make my illness go away, but I can combat it with my own kind of light. ✨
