Ring(let) Leaders

I've always been jealous of those girls that have a full head of gorgeous, bouncy curls. It was my sister, not me, who was lucky enough to get that gene. My slight wave and I were always envious. So envious that in junior high we took drastic measures. Oh yes, I went to my mother and said the four letter word of the hair world. Perm. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that the perming went on for several years. Don't worry, I am in no way considering going back to those days. But lately I am getting sick of my waves, and am longing for full on curl, like these lovely ladies have. 

Beautiful, no? And you know what they say, fake it until you make it. As far as styling tools go, I personally use my Chi for everything. Straightening, waving and curling, everything. Without it I'd be lost. And my hair would be a mess. But I saw an ad in a magazine for something new, and it intrigues me. 

Say hello to the Conair You Curl. It's pricier cousins have been around for quite sometime, but at $40, the You Curl is something that I might actually consider buying, just to see how it works. If it can get me halfway to Taylor Swift curls, then I'd definitely say it's money well spent!

Lazy Monday

Monday is my lazy day. It really shouldn't be. It's my day off of work, which means I should use it clean my house, do laundry and grocery shop. But nine times out of ten, I lay around my parents house, watch their satellite and eat their food. It's my day to spend all day in sweats, and if I happen to pop into a few places on my way back to the city, so be it. I wasn't ashamed to admit that occasionally I go out into public wearing my comfy clothes. Until now. This is probably the best quote I have ever seen. 

I'm supposed to get dressed up when I go to Walmart?! This is news to me. And now all of you know to! Lol

Happy Monday!

I'm so glad that it's finally the weekend! This week was hectic and it's so nice to finally have a break. And I'd better enjoy it while I can because this coming week looks like it's going to be equally as crazy. My bed is begging for an afternoon nap, so I'm going to get straight to the good stuff. There is a couple of cakes that I just love, so enjoy!

 A first birthday cake, complete with a cute little lion on top. I know what you're thinking, why is there an R in 1st? No, I don't stink that bad at spelling. But whoever took the cake order for this cake is, because that's how it was spelt, so that's how I spelt it on the cake. Don't worry, I fixed it before they picked the cake up.

 I'm just in love with this cake. Who knew that some nautical stripes and a whale could be so dang cute?

 I made this cake for my grandma's birthday. Please excuse the crappy lighting in the picture, it doesn't do it justice. But I love the ruffles on the bottom tier, and the pink sugar peony

 A cute little girl cow. With a bow in her hair of course

I have a love hate relationship with making dino's out of fondant. Sometimes they work, other's they don't. This little guy cooperated for the most part. I especially love his toothy grin. It was my attempt at making him a little scary, but I think it makes even cuter.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Busy Busy Busy

Please excuse my absence! This week has been busy! Work has been a little crazy, with tons of cakes to make. And I had a wedding cake to do on my own after a full day of work, so this week has consisted of cake, cake, and more cake. Oh, and my credit card number was stolen, so I had to squeeze a few visits to the bank in as well. Someone went on a lovely little spending spree, with my hard earned money. Whoever you are, you should be ashamed of yourself. 

So it's a Friday night, and I just got done work. And instead of wanting to go out on the town, I want nothing more than to cuddle up in bed and go to sleep. But it's been worth it, I have some seriously cute cakes to show you!

Just a Little Something...

It's Monday. Which means back to work for most of you out there. What a bummer. But I can across a couple pictures that I thought might brighten up your day. Planning family pictures any time soon? Well, you just hit the jackpot. Here are a few fantastic ideas. 

 Nothing like having your prego tummy hanging out for the whole world to see. Oh and lets not forget about the man with the gun! So strange...

Having trouble deciding what to wear for family pictures? It's a toughy. Do you go with the classic denim and white shirts? Or do you have to choose a few colors that everyone can agree on, and actually find cute clothes that match said colors? Well don't even worry about it. Follow this families lead, and forgo the clothes all together.

LOL. Have a great Monday everyone!

It's strange having a normal work weekend. Having yesterday off like a normal person was fantastic, as was going to see Wicked with my mom and sisters. It was unbelievable. We also managed to do a little bit of shopping, not nearly enough though if you ask me. The day perfect, regardless. Since I wasn't working yesterday, I only have a few pictures this week, but I hope you enjoy!

 A cute little zebra cake, accented with hot pink

 This cake was for one of my bestest friends, who's birthday was this week. I wish I would have had more time to do something fantastic, but I still love the little banners.

Scooby Doo! Complete with all of the characters, and the Mystery Machine

Have a good one!

The Long and Short of It

I don't know if you can tell by now or not, but I get tired of my hair pretty fast. I go blonder in the spring and summer, and as soon as September rolls around, I get tired of my sunny highlights and go back to my roots. Bangs were good, but the timing was off. I like the color that I have in my hair right now, but my mother had a few choice words for me when she saw it. So with a hair appointment book, I need to decide what my next move is. Since color apparently didn't work out too well for me, maybe it's not to think about a cut? For the most part I love my long hair, but there are days when I just want to chop it all off! And then I see pictures of super cute short cuts and it makes me seriously consider taking the plunge and going under the knife. Or scissors.

 Aren't they all so pretty? And they're still long enough to be versatile. Long enough to curl, and put in a pony, which is essential. But then I see pictures like these...

 And I realize that the thought of chopping off all my hair makes me want to cry. Decisions, Decisions. But seeing this next picture makes me realize I can have the best of both worlds!

Hahahahahahaha. 

Have a great weekend!
