When you're too busy to drink gin, you can at least smell like you're not too busy to drink gin. Right? I think that's how it works. Works for me!
Ginuary 20th: Tatty Devine string lights.
A Saturday night and it's not alcohol? What is the world coming to? Well, it's coming to mid-festival madness and mama needs a rest on the couch. A rest on the couch is even more enjoyable lately when I have these beautiful beasts to gaze at. I bought these string lights months ago from ASOS … Continue reading Ginuary 20th: Tatty Devine string lights.
Ginuary 9th: Tatty Devine gin necklace.
Back during Ginuary 2016, one of my days was dedicated to Tatty Devine's enamel gin pin. I asked the universe (nicely) to buy me the necklace, because I wanted it quite badly. I had the sense to realise that the best way to get something is to do it yourself, so not long after Ginuary … Continue reading Ginuary 9th: Tatty Devine gin necklace.
Ginuary 7th: Sweet Cecilys Gin & Tonic flavour lip balm.
On a day like today, everyone else is having a nice time and I'm working all day (albeit having a nice time doing it). Talking to people all day means keeping my lips moisturised, and today was made all the better by regularly reaching for the gin & tonic in my pocket. I'll admit, some … Continue reading Ginuary 7th: Sweet Cecilys Gin & Tonic flavour lip balm.
Ginuary 2nd: Love & Victory’s negroni pin.
You may not recall this, but having gin a different way every day for the month doesn't always mean booze. Today my gin came in pin form, and I wore my alcoholic flair with pride. Here I have displayed it artfully in the centre of an enormous succulent. Get yours from Love & Victory if … Continue reading Ginuary 2nd: Love & Victory’s negroni pin.
Ginuary 29th: Monkey Gland.
I have so many things to say about today's choice that I don't quite know where to begin, so let's wait until I'm drunk to write it all out. Here's the drink! Monkey Gland 50ml gin (I used Bombay Sapphire) 30ml fresh orange juice 2 drops absinthe 5ml grenadine Shake well over ice, double strain … Continue reading Ginuary 29th: Monkey Gland.
Ginuary 14th: Tatty Devine Gin Brooch.
It's been a while since I've done this category! I do feel like it's a bit of a cop-out but at the same time I like to share exciting gin-related finds and it's also a good excuse to enable me to buy things. This brooch was actually a gift from my sister a couple of … Continue reading Ginuary 14th: Tatty Devine Gin Brooch.
Ginuary 15th: Breakfast Martini.
This year is the first year of Ginuary where I've been presented with some fairly well-known gin concoctions, done a quick check to see if they've been already ticked off the list, and discovered that they haven't been. Unblogged territory. The gin sour on the 5th was a startling discovery, and more recently I realised … Continue reading Ginuary 15th: Breakfast Martini.
Ginuary 15th: Claudia Pearson cocktail ticking tea towel.
Adding the "gin paraphernalia" category to Ginuary has opened up a whole new world for the month—a whole new world in which I allow myself to spend money on homewares. This is a boon as I've discovered the older I get, the more excited over homewares I become. Tonight I've pulled out my new Claudia … Continue reading Ginuary 15th: Claudia Pearson cocktail ticking tea towel.
Ginuary 10th: Gin Fizz candle.
I'm literally in the air right now. I've never queued a Ginuary post before and you may consider this cheating but I'm mid-flight from NYC to Sydney via Shanghai and quite possibly drinking terrible canned gin (if China Eastern even offer it), so don't give up on me, but I drank a shitty canned G&T … Continue reading Ginuary 10th: Gin Fizz candle.
