So for today I just thought I'd do a quick update about what I have planned for the near future. I have always been a big lover of series type things from television series and movie sagas to youtube series and blog series. I have always wanted to do a fashion series based on one of my favorite fashion books, What to Wear, Where. I still don't feel confident enough to do that just quite yet.



Instead, I'm going to do a cupcake baking series! I'm thinking 50 weeks of cupcakes...but that's a lot of baking. It's definitely what I'm going to do, I just don't know if I'm going to do a whole 50 weeks of it. Also, since moving to California I haven't actually baked anything, and I'm worried they'll turn out rubbish. The altitude and humidity is different here so who knows what my tried and true recipes will do!

I'm not going to let that stop me though!

*500 cupcakes by Fergal Connolly and Judith Fertig is my favorite cookbook for cupcakes. I pull others from Pinterest as well. My favorite to make Irish Car Bomb cupcakes which are always fun to take with you to a parrrtay. ;D

The second big thing to come in the next month is me and my roommate, Courtney, are starting our own YouTube channel!! I'm super stoked!!!! I've always wanted one, but was too nervous to haveone on my own.

It'll be called Apt 213, and it's about the girls (ie me and Courtney) who live in it. :D

We'll be doing all kinds of crazy things like drunk Mario Kart racing, baking (I foresee a giant mess I am going to have to clean), and us talking/ranting about random things.

It's going to be crazy!!!!! * pic from ThisIsSmileyandshell 

 If you guys have any suggestions or help or comments about either thing that I'm about to embark on please post them below! I'd love to chat with you guys about them.

Weird Obsession #2: Cupcakes

No Comments »



I 1000% adore a good cupcake. I've always preferred a cupcake to regular cake although I can't exactly
 pinpoint why. It could be because it's my own personal cake. No cupcake is ever the same no matter 
how much they may look the same. 


A lot of people don't know that the original way to eat a cupcake was to make it a sandwich by pulling
the bottom off. Now a days it's a lot harder to do because everyone loads them up with icing...not that
I'm complaining. I always thought that was crazy!!

Personally, I like eating it so the icing can get on my nose. ;D


Usually I prefer making them and giving them away to friends, family, etc. I used to have a cupcake 
recipe book, but I've either lost it or left it back in Alabama. So that just means I need to get a brand
new one to start from scratch with! 

In the mean time, I've been applying for a new job at local cupcake bakeries. Specifically I've applied
to Sprinkles, the world's first cupcake bakery!!! I want it freaking badly. So keep your fingers crossed
for me! 

Do you have any food obsessions? If so let me know below!!

So it has taken me a long ass time to write this post. I wanted to do something new year's oriented without being so cliche or lying to myself when it comes to New Year's resolutions. Then things started to get in the way. Since January first I've: moved, transferred schools, gotten into a car accident, had a very serious fight with someone I love, and generally questioned every single decision I've ever made. 

I came to one conclusion...

I'm going to do what makes me happy and if people don't like it...to bad. I am twenty four years old, and I don't have my life figured out. It's okay. I know the things I love, and I'm going to keep doing them and experimenting until I figure out what it is that I do want to do. 

I love music....so I'm going to attend a LOT of concerts.
Coachella 2012 (google images)

I love connecting people....so I'm going to school for Broadcasting.
Ryan Seacreast and Selena Gomez at 102.7

I love fashion...so I'm going to take some Fashion Marketing classes and try to go to some events.
Currently reading!!!


I enjoy photography....so I'm going to take a photography class and carry my camera around.
A picture of Courtney I took at the Griffith Observatory


I want to eat healthy...so I'm going to have the willpower to say no to that cupcake.
Keep on swimming. Keep on swimming. Keep on swimming.


I want to be active...so I'm going to do more things like cirque and dance and running.
Definitely want to try surfing this summer (google images)


I am going to love the things I love and not be embarrassed about them.

I am going to best me I can be.
