Lemon Blueberry Cake

This weekend I road tripped to NC to spend time with my SIL's and nephew for his 2nd birthday. His mother and I made him this Lemon Blueberry Cake from Sally's Baking Addiction. {Pinterest for the win!} It was AMAZING. Moist, not too lemon-y, and the frosting was light and fluffy. This is a must for those birthdays, parties, and/or events this Spring. Seriously, go pin it right now.




Besides some delicious cake, and eating lots of food that we probably shouldn't have... It was so great to have all the SIL's together. I love love love being back on the mainland for this reason alone. And to be able to cross state lines again. It has been quite some time since we last reunited. My heart is happy and thankful for wonderful family.

Oh and stripes were initially not planned but it was funny.

Faking It

Let's talk hair.

I get bored with hair easily. But right now, I am trying to grow it out, so I gotta suck it up. I have been stalking Pinterest's Health & Beauty section. You all surely must be familiar with Kate from The Small Things Blog. She is like the hair guru of the Pinterest world. Luckily for me, she posted a video the other day on Faking Natural Curls.


This girl fakes it good! I mean, I don't believe that she doesn't have natural curly hair. Her hair is envious. Anyway, so I thought I would give it a shot.... but the cheaper version. Who has money to spend on high end hair products these days?! (I wish).

So off to Walmart I went, at 9pm at night. Left with a $15 Conair curling iron, Organix Moroccan Sea Salt Spray, and some curl enhancing spray from John Freida. 

The next morning I followed her tutorial to a T. I have never used a curling iron so it took some getting use to. A few burns on the fingers later...It turned out decent for being my first time. I was pretty pumped. My mom use to curl my hair with those old school curlers! I've done my hair about 4 times now. I looks better every time. I love it. But I wish someone else could do it for me and that my hair was longer and blonde, but oh well. My arms get SO tired, I have to take breaks. Pathetic I know. So overall I think Kate's tutorial is awesome, as well as her tips on hair. Visit her blog when you get a chance!

The only decent picture I have of my hair results:

+Have any hair tips on growing hair out? 
+Favorite hair products for curls or affordable hair products I absolutely must have?
+Have any of you used the Not Your Mother line? 
+Any hair moisture tips or masks that you swear by? I see them on Pinterest but am nervous to try them.
+Favorite hair/beauty blogs?

Life Lately




My life lately??

Gym at 5/5:30AM
Work
Dinner
Prepare lunch for tomorrow
Walk Jax...if I can muster up the energy
Bed

How old am I, again?? 


My weight training program is kicking my rear, again. It's phase two (of three) and it includes a lot more weight training exercises/reps and thankfully we are allowed to do cardio in this phase. Something I have kind of missed. 

I am also loving cooking {thank you pinterest!} and planning my meals, despite the extra time/effort I have to make to do it. Feeling good. I've been taking pictures to track the progress so I think by the end of this phase there should be a major difference in muscle tone. I haven't weighed myself in awhile, so I am not sure if I have actually lost or gained weight, but losing weight is not my goal here, which is so different for me. Very excited to see the results!

{if you are curious, I am doing Jamie Eason's Live Fit Trainer on BodyBuilding.com}

Blueberry Lemonade Cupcakes

Aren't these beautiful?!

Loving this color combo


Super easy DIY!
I ran over to Michael's Craft Store last night after I saw this DIY. I did a bracelet in 30 minutes! Turned out great. Michael's didn't have the pretty colors like this tutorial shows though. I would probably order some online if I were to make more. This is the tutorial I followed. Here is mine:
