Just a quick a post this morning. Hope you are having a great week.

Cake Creations

Last weekend I attended a baby shower for a dear friend. She asked me to create some treats for her dessert table. Since her theme for the shower was bumblebees, I thought bee-shaped cake pops and lemon meringue cupcakes would be perfect.

Whenever I have an idea for a baking project I search the internet for pictures and inspiration.  I was able to find a variety of different cake pops and used elements from different pictures to create these. I used boxed cake and frosting from the can to make the cake pops. I then decorated them with chocolate, fondant, and icing.

The lemon meringue cupcakes have been featured on my blog before. They are from Martha Stewart and are always a hit!

Her shower was full of love and laughter, and everyone had a great time.

Have a great day! <3

Lush Haul/Swamp Thing

I LOVE Lush! That store makes me happy every time I walk into it. A couple weeks ago I decided to treat myself to some new products. I bought a few bath product, a new face scrub, an eyeshadow from their new makeup collection, and, as you probably guessed, a face mask. 

According to the Lush website, the Love Lettuce face mask is the "most exfoliating mask that scoops up dirt, oil and debris and washes it all away." I have been traveling a lot lately the the lady at the story told me that this would be great after exposing my skin to all of the recycled plane air. It felt nice on my skin, didn't break-me-out, and left my skin a little more glowing afterwards.

The face scrubs come in a 2.1 oz jar for between $5 and $7.  These fresh face scrubs need to be kept in the refrigerator and are good for about three weeks. I think that these are a great way to pamper yourself for under $10. 

I think I may just love the fact that it makes me look like a Swamp Thing. 


Stay tuned to hear more about the other products I purchased.
