An interesting soda flavor and some beautiful cakes!

Hello, my bucket list friends! In my last post I talked about how I was a happy collector. Well there is another part of me that is happy at the moment and that is my sweet tooth! On Saturday I got some dragon fruit flavored soda. I was not sure how it would taste but it actually ended up tasting pretty good! It’s also a beautiful color. The one I had was Fanta brand but there may be other brands out there. I would definitely buy this soda again. Also I’m known to buy slices of cake and cupcakes when I go to the grocery store. Lately I’ve been impressed with the way they have been decorated. So many beautiful colors! Plus this one cupcake I got had plastic balloons on top! It was so cute and happy looking. I wonder what kind of soda of cake I’ll try next!

Hello Kitty Cafe

Hello, my bucket list friends ! I recently got to go to the very cute Hello Kitty Cafe and I’m very excited to tell you all about it ! Here we go !

 

Hello Kitty Cafe

 

I had heard about the Hello Kitty Cafe before but I hadn’t had a chance to check it out. Well, I finally got my chance to go and it did not disappoint! It was probably the smallest cafe I have ever been to but it was for sure the cutest! There were some very cute treats to choose from. I chose the strawberry cake and the peach iced tea. The tea was very sweet but very delicious, it came in this very cute cup with a picture of Hello Kitty on it ! The strawberry cake was very cute and very tasty !  It had these cute Hello Kitty candies on it. I hope I get to go back sometimes and try some more treats ! If you get the chance I highly recommend checking this place out !

bucket list #142 make a perfect cupcake

Hello, my bucket list friends ! I’m so happy right now because I crossed another item off my bucket list ! I’m so excited to tell you about it ! Here we go !

 

bucket list #142 make a perfect cupcake

It was kind of hard at first to figure out what kind of cupcake to make since perfect is a matter of opinion . After some thinking I decided the prefect cupcake would have the following qualities. First they would need to be easy to make but they would also need include peppermint and my little pony decorations . I decided the best thing to do would be to use a box cake mix and then decorate the cupcakes with crushed candy canes and My Little Pony decorations.  I ordered two different kinds of My Little Pony cupcake decorations. The first ones that I ordered were cute plastic rings with My Little Ponies on them but after I ordered them it looked like it might take them a while to get to me. I decided to order  some other My little pony cupcakes toppers as well. These cupcake toppers were little tooth picks with ponies on top ! Buying everything else was pretty simple .Cake mix, frosting, and candy canes are pretty easy to find. Once I had everything I needed it was time to get baking ! Once I started to get everything together I realized that the vegetable oil in the kitchen was expired after searching the internet I found out that you could use butter instead .Then it was really time to get baking ! First I preheated the oven and then I put together all the ingredients as the box instructed . After I mixed everything together it was time to pour the batter into the cupcake pan  . I found some really cute cupcake liners in the cabinet that had balloons on them . After pouring the batter in the liners I put them in the oven and set the timer . After the cupcakes were baked perfectly I let them cool and then I put the rest of the batter in the oven .  When all the cupcakes were cooled they were ready to be frosted and decorated . The Cupcakes were very easy to frost with the premade frosting  and then I sprinkled the cupcakes with the peppermint that I crushed up . The last step was to put on the pony decorations. My cupcakes were really perfect and tasty ! I’m glad I crossed this fun item off my list .

My Cousin’s beautiful wedding

 

On, Saturday 9/22/2018 my cousin got married . It was a beautiful day the sun was shinning it was a little warm but beautiful overall . It was a lot fun getting ready at her house we had some great hair and make-up artists there to make us all look wonderful for the wedding! We all looked amazing but thing I remember most about getting ready was while I was waiting for my make-up to get done I got to hold two of my cousin’s pet chickens !  After a busy morning of hair and make-up we went to the church got into our pretty purple dresses and my cousin put on her amazingly beautiful wedding dress ! Then it was time for the ceremony and to watch my cousin marry the love of her life. After the sweet ceremony  it was time to take tons of pictures and do lots of  cute and silly poses ! The reception was at a beautiful banquet hall at a restaurant! The reception was so much fun there was a photo booth, lots of dancing, tasty wedding cupcakes,and so many smiles !  It was one on the best receptions I have ever been to . It was just so full of happiness and joy !  It was such a honor to be apart of this beautiful and amazing day !

Happy 28th birthday and a trip to the ER

Hello, My bucket list friends I had on 28th birthday on August 26th and it was a wild one ! I really didn’t see it turning out the way it did but that’s life for you ! Hang on tight and I’ll tell about my crazy birthday !

 

 

My 28th birthday and a trip to the ER

My birthday started with a trip to Peet’s coffee and petting some very cute dogs there before heading to work .  While I was at work my amazing friend brought me cake ! After work I went out to eat with my family we went to PF Chang’s. The food was so good and the desserts were wonderful ! After dinner we were driving back home and a pain that I had been having throughout the day began to get worse and worse . It was soon unbearable about an 8 on the pain scale . I didn’t want to go to the ER because it is expensive but due to the amount of pain I was in I didn’t have a choice . I’m not sure what time it was when I got to the ER maybe around 10 pm . Right away the tests began to find a source of the pain . After hours of doing tests and waiting the ultrasound showed that I has a cyst on my left ovary. It is about 5 1/2 CM. long . It was decided that I did not need anything further right then but that needed to talk to my doctor in a day or so . I was given some pain medication and after 3 AM I left the ER. The issue with the cyst is still on going . I’m going to be talking to a surgeon next week but I’ll write more about that another time . Overall it was a birthday I wont soon forget !
