BabyCakes

The other day while I was backtracking on Garance's beautiful blog, I stumbled upon this post about Erin McKenna and her fabulous bakery, BabyCakes. Refined sugar-free, gluten-free, wheat-free, soy-free, casein-free, egg-free, vegan, kosher, mouth-watering delights. Say what??

Sprinkled doughnuts with pink frosting? Waffles made fresh to order? Carrot cake? All with no white sugar? These tasty treats are an absolute must next time I touch down in NYC, LA or Orlando.

Read more about BabyCakes and how it came to be here. For shits and giggles, click here.

Erin is the one on the phone, isn't she a cutie patootie?

Family Reunion

Today I will be reunited with mi familia and I am overjoyed just thinking about it. Distance sure does make the heart grow fonder. I am in dire need of some family togetherness. Big hugs, shooting the shit, yelling and screaming, laughing and crying, and cheersing brewskies for the celebration of KCs big 2-7/8 (I am getting too old myself and have lost track)!

See you in Charlotte!

Particularly Essential

For those of you who don't know me well, I will let you in on a little secret (which you may have already picked up on). I am prettyyyyyyyy particular when it comes to every some things... men, clothing, movies, bedding, beer, watches, makeup (the list goes on). With all of the above I know what I want. I either love it or hate it and if it falls anywhere in between it typically ends up in the "can live without" category.

Over Thanksgiving break my friend Anna came over to my parents to "get ready" for our "big" night out and along with her she brought the essentials - bronzer, mascara, and a little tube of heaven (see above). Make Up Forever HD microfinish blush #4. The moment I rubbed this creamy pink on my cheeks I feel hard. Loved it. Done. Added to Christmas list. Got it! (Particularly) an absolute essential!

Enough said.

Inspiring, to say the least. Read creative concept here.

Too Soon?

Too soon to be dreaming of bright spring colors? Nah! I will love these colors 365 days of the year, regardless if it is the coldest day of winter or the hottest day of summer.
