Raise Money for Kids with Cancer just by Leaving Comments

August 16, 2011 by Meaghan Mountford

As one who has suffered life-threatening illness in and out of hospitals for half of my life (and I’m pretty old, almost forty! egad),any tales of medical woe and tragedy evoke instant heartache. Scratch the personal part, I think any tales of medical woe and tragedy can evoke instant heartache in anyone, regardless of their situation. Trish of Sweetology introduced me to Design Gives Back. Inspired by a boy, Charlie, by merely leaving comments on a few blogs, you can help raise money for Friends of Kids with Cancer and for another Miracle Makeover (watch the video and you’ll see what I mean).  Design Gives Back will donate a dollar for each comment you leave. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE and for LINKS to the blogs to comment. Trish over at Sweetology has summed things up nicely, too, and she made some way cute cookies, too.  And I think this bright cupcake is such a lovely way to end this post.

    I watched the video then read about the comments for charity and found that they have already gotten enough comments, blog posts, etc. in just a few days. That’s wonderful!

10 Ice Cubes That Instantly Elevate Prosecco

One for every colour and flavour palette — simple, beautiful, and guaranteed to impress.

There’s something magical about Prosecco. It’s the drink you can pull out for birthdays, brunches, Friday nights, or “I survived another week with the family” celebrations. And if you’ve ever wished your glass looked a little fancier without the faff, flavoured ice cubes are about to become your new best friend.

They take minutes to prep, you can freeze them weeks ahead, and honestly — they make even the cheapest bottle sparkle like something handed to you by a waiter named Luca on the Amalfi Coast.
(We can dream.)

Here are 10 gorgeous, fuss-free Prosecco ice cubes — all colour-themed, flavour-themed, and perfect for those who love a drink that looks as good as it tastes.

1. Peach Bellini Cubes (Soft Peach + Gold)

Per cube:
• 1 slice peach (fresh or tinned)
• A pinch of edible gold dust
• Fill with peach nectar

What it does:
Instant Bellini vibes without blending a thing.

2. Pink Raspberry Rosé Cubes (Blush Pink)

Per cube:
• 2 raspberries
• 1 rose petal (edible)
• Fill with water

What it does:
Gives Prosecco a soft pink glow and a romantic finish.

3. Lemon Zest Sparkle Cubes (Bright Yellow)

Per cube:
• A curl of lemon zest
• 1 small lemon segment
• Fill with sparkling water

What it does:
Turns Prosecco into a zesty brunch spritz.

4. Blueberry Citrus Burst Cubes (Deep Indigo + Yellow)

Per cube:
• 3 blueberries
• 1 tiny piece of orange peel
• Fill with water

What it does:
Adds colour contrast and a bright citrus pop.

5. Grapefruit Mint Cooler Cubes (Coral Pink + Green)

Per cube:
• 1 grapefruit wedge
• 1 mint leaf
• Fill with water

What it does:
Softens the Prosecco with a refreshing twist.

6. Pomegranate Rosemary Jewels (Ruby Red + Forest Green)

Per cube:
• 1 tsp pomegranate seeds
• 1 rosemary sprig tip
• Fill with water

What it does:
Looks like a mini Christmas decoration floating in your glass.

7. Mango + Basil Sunshine Cubes (Golden Yellow + Green)

Per cube:
• 1 mango cube
• 1 basil leaf
• Fill with water

Adds a juicy tropical lift — great in summer.

8. Lavender + Lemon Serenity Cubes (Pastel Purple)

Per cube:
• Pinch of culinary lavender
• 1 piece lemon peel
• Fill with water

What it does:
Smells like a spa and tastes like a holiday.

9. Strawberry Hibiscus Cubes (Vibrant Pink)

Per cube:
• 1–2 strawberry slices
• A pinch of dried hibiscus
• Fill with cooled hibiscus tea

What it does:
Adds colour, flavour, and a gentle floral tartness.

10. Blackberry Elderflower Cubes (Deep Purple + Soft White)

Per cube:
• 2 blackberries
• ½ tsp elderflower cordial
• Fill with water

What it does:
Makes Prosecco taste like a cocktail you’d pay $18 for.

Hosting Hack: The Prosecco Cube Bar

If you want to look incredibly organised with zero effort:

Freeze one tray of each cube, line them up in little bowls on a platter, and let guests “build” their own glass. Everyone gets a personalised drink, you get to stay out of the kitchen, and suddenly you’re that host — the one who thinks of everything.
