Fun Funfetti Cupcakes

No Comments »


Originally I planned to do my 25 Weeks of Cupcakes every other week, but I have a lovely little trip coming up at the end of the month. So I thought I would do it now, and do a packing post next week.

My roommate Courtney's favorite is funfetti. After she suffered through my tart pink lemonade ones, I thought I would give her a treat ;D

So, I went to one of my favorite baking blogs, Sally's Baking Addiction. She has amazing recipes, and they are all from scratch. You should definitely check it out! I made her Easy Funfetti Cupcakes! <3 #25Funfetti





I really need to work on taking more pictures of the process guys!! Let me know what you guys want to see in the photos. I'm going to try to get Courtney to take pictures of me actually baking them. This was my break while the cupcakes cooked ;D.



I've got to get better at the waiting thing. I always want to put the icing on before they're cooled. 





Courtney seemed to really enjoy them. ;D


Our friend Mackenzie really liked them too, except for the one that she pushed into Courtney's face. Really wish I had caught that on camera!!


Icing is my favorite part ;D Also I got a cute spatula that I wanted to show off. 



Two more quick things. One, I got the interview at Sprinkles!!!! -dances- Fingers crossed they call me back. Also after the cupcakes, we went on a little adventure to the Magic Castle in Hollywood. Big thanks to our friend who got us in! It was....magical! I want to live there forever. 

Valentine's Day Photo Diary

No Comments »


Valentine's Day is always a big ho-ho in everyone's life. Even if you don't want it to be a big deal, you can't escape it's grasp on the world around you.

I personally have always loved Valentine's Day. I've never had a valentine on Valentine's Day, and I don't have any complaints! It gives me an "excuse" to spoil myself with items I want like make up or clothes. I also love making all the heart shaped, pink and red treats. 

So not only will this post be about how I celebrated my Valentine's Day, but also Week 1 of my blog's cupcake series: 25 Weeks of Cupcakes!! #25Cupcakes







Pink Lemonade Cupcakes!! #PinkLemonCC






before my eight hour shift at work


after said eight hour shift 



And I ended my Valentine's Day with a cupcake, Reese's Pieces, and tea while me and Percy snuggled up to watch some good ole Logan Lerman...yummm ;D

Fashion Rules the World

No Comments »



And so the fashion year begins!! I've always been a big fan of clothes and shoes. For a while, I knew that I liked fashion, but I never really understood the big hype about fashion week. 

It was a bunch of girls that were prettier than I, walking around in ridiculous looking outfits no one would wear in the real world.

Then two ideas meshed in my brain.

I have always been a big picture kind of gal. I loved going through stores and looking at their mannequins, the finished product. I would take what I saw (and liked!) and replaced those pieces with clothes I already owned. I would just purchase the pieces I was missing.



Fashion shows are giant moving mannequins performing and displaying art. It was my training in theatre that made me realize this was spectacle. The shows are meant to inspire me to use what I already have in a totally new way, and you know, buy those missing pieces from the designers. 

That's what Fashion Week means to me anyway. So bring on the weeks and weeks of fashion!!
