S.I. nightlife: Must see scenes from Panini Grill’s Christmas gala; a stunning sight in red and white | Red Satin Ribbon

One of the first celebs I mixed cocktails for was Kate Moss when I was bartending in a club in Camden about 11 years ago. I can’t recall what she was drinking but let’s just say it was a lively bash.

Plastic bags should not be recycled with the city because of their minuscule density, Embry said. Walmart and H-E-B accept plastic bags at their stores, and the nonprofit Caritas also takes donations of plastic bags.

Netflix’s newest thriller ‘Bird Box’ is inspiring memes about Malorie, Tom, Girl, and the emotional roller coaster fans are experiencing while watching the film.

If you love the look of natural decorations but loathe the faff then head to Woodie’s where its wide range of decorations includes some seriously natural-looking wreaths – at least from a distance or if you squint a little. They look the part especially if you group them together as has been done here to great effect. Now reduced, these range in price from €27.99 to €34.39, and look especially beautiful when hung on sash windowpanes as pictured. You can do this using red ribbon, fishing line and small screw-in hooks – white ones would become invisible on paintwork this colour. woodies.ie

As cold as it was Tuesday morning, a few of the businesses offered snacks and warm drinks to fuel the students’ creativity. Some also had music playing while they worked to keep them upbeat and motivated to finish.

Our last Christmas with Dad. He LOVED Christmas. He always drove his children and grandchildren crazy putting up lights and decorations everywhere. His lovely daughter- in-law put a Christmas tree up in his room and he told her he’d like another one in the other corner.

I ordered a black velvet ribbon off of Etsy and have been haphazardly donning it when my hair is at its most unruly or unwashed. This is important: for a successful dishabille effect, one’s tresses should be loose and tendril-y. A too-stiff, too-low ponytail stands the risk of evoking George Washington.

Make a lush garland to run down the centre of the table. I combined tropical leaves such as monstera, eucalyptus and other foliage picked up at a local flower shop with hostas and ferns found in the garden.

Naturally, washi tape has hit Etsy as well, and as you can imagine, some Etsy sellers are taking washi tape pretty seriously. Etsy shop MechaKucha808 is another fun way to add to your arsenal.

Twitter user @heyspacebones pointed out, as a so-called superfan of the singer, Karen probably would have already owned the CD (pictured)

Wrapping paper and other gift garnish: Stock up for next Christmas, but don’t stop there. Rummage through the rolls and racks and grab versatile gift wrap, tissue paper, ribbons and bows. Some wrapping paper comes in non-traditional Christmas shades, like white, blue and pink, and can easily be used on birthday presents with no one the wiser. I, for one, have accumulated enough discounted, generic paper to shroud birthday gifts for generations to come.
