The Perfect Girls Night In

As I'm sure many of you know, yesterday was National Best Friends day, and luckily I was able to spend the day (and night!) with my best friend. We had such a great time that we figured a blog post about it was definitely a good idea. While we don't get to see each other the most often, it's the times like these that count the most because there is not all that much that can replace the 2 am laughter and the endless snacking and gossiping. As per usual, our get together's begin with baking. Sometimes our creations come out good, sometimes not so much, but this time our cupcakes came out amazingly. (They also taste fantastic in case anyone was wondering!). We made chocolate fudge cupcakes with baby blue and lavender vanilla icing, which looked (in my opinion), absolutely gorgeous. Besides that, the baking and decorating process is 1000x more fun when you do it with a friend. Also, playing a throwback thursday playlist is essential. After baking, we cr

Holiday Baking Plans (Blogmas Day 22)

Freedom and Festivities!

Hello once again lovelies! As you can possibly tell, I am in a fantastic mood, because I just finished writing my last exam of the semester and I am officially on break! I'm also halfway through the Nursing program which makes me 1/2 of a nurse or something ;) I'm so happy to be done but I've just realized how much I have left to do! Only 7 days until Christmas and I'm still missing tons of Christmas gifts, I have tons of wrapping to do and lots of baking! I'm so excited!!! Let the holidays begin for real now! xo

Gingerbread Cookie Decorating! (Blogmas Day 16)

I make gingerbread cookies every year. I love the fun of decorating them and I think they make a really cute little gift to give people when you go over for a visit. I haven't gotten around to making any yet (thanks a lot, exams), but I have been looking around for some inspiration on how I should decorate them this year, and I have found TONS which I thought would be nice to share with you all! How do you decorate your gingerbread cookies? Let me know in the comments! xo
