Weekend Adventures

Valentine's day was SO much fun this year guys! Me and my beau made breakfast for dinner and watched a movie (Burnt- would recommend, especially if you're into cooking shows and stuff). This wasn't just any breakfast though. We went ALL. OUT. 


First up: heart shaped eggs because they're adorable! 
So, there are devices specifically made to create hearts out of eggs and even though we ordered one from Amazon using a prime account, it didn't arrive on time. Our next option was to find heart shaped cookie cutters and use those instead. We found some at Target (die-hard Target girl, right here!) and got super excited. Unfortunately, the paint came off the red cookie cutter while my BF was trying to cook the eggs inside of it. It was gross and scary. Instead we opted to fry eggs in a tiny egg pan and use the cookie cutters to cut the eggs out after they were cooked. This worked WAY better and didn't involve any paint leaching. Tiny egg pans FTW!

Then came the bacon roses. So elegant. Jk. Neither of us are really into bacon THAT much. Like you know how some people really like bacon for some reason and it's kinda weird? We're not those people. (Just didn't want you to get the wrong impression.) While we were looking up tutorials we stumbled across some instances of people making bacon bouquets using fake flower stems... Kinda ridiculous and kind of gross to be frank. We just wanted cute bacon! Here's a tutorial in case any of you are interested. It's pretty simple and they came out super tasty!

Lastly, the most decadent red velvet waffles. To be honest, the most decadent part was the cream cheese glaze we made for them. The recipe for the actual waffles only called for a little bit of cocoa powder which we were both kind of skeptical of, but went with it anyway. They didn't turn out as chocolatey as we would have liked, but they were still super good! If you give this recipe a try defs add more cocoa or maybe even chocolate chips!


I hope everyone had a fun weekend whether or not you celebrated Valentine's day!
Extra points if you celebrated Galentine's day <3

Confessions of a #GIRLBOSS/Saint

Image
Forgive me, Internet, for I have sinned... Okay. Confession time. My first two blog posts were made at work. I KNOW. Who am I!? I'm really not a terrible employee. I get all my work done on time and it's done correctly. It's just that sometimes there's not a lot of work to be done. So lately instead of mindlessly browsing the internet I'm trying to be a little more productive in my time spent online. Hence the start of this blog! (Disclaimer: I realize the risk of putting this information online, but I've made the commitment to be completely honest on here. While I do sometimes feel guilty for using my work time to do non-work related things, I'm not really provided with a lot of opportunities to move up or fill my time otherwise. So here we are.) Over the weekend I started reading Sophia Amoruso's #GIRLBOSS and let me tell you, I'm only 50 pages in and I'm already really fucking motivated. She definitely tells it how it is- no sugar coatin...

Drawing a blank

Drawing. I have a love/hate relationship with it. It's one of those things where if I feel at all pressured to do it, I simply won't. P.S. I'm really a toddler. Jk, but for some reason I've always had that (toddler-like) approach to it. I think all of us love to draw when we're little, and it totally makes sense! We finally learn how to hold a pencil, control our extremities,  and it keeps us occupied for like 10 minutes which has parents everywhere rejoicing. It involves dogs/flowers/dinosaurs/other "kid stuff" and probably tons of colors. It's a skill set above coloring (finally, am I right kids?!) that we can master before learning cursive. Anyway, what I'm getting at here is that I loooooooved drawing when I was a kid. Aside from reading and eating Cheetos, it was like my main thing. Fast forward to approximately 10 years later: I went to college and majored in art and I was like forced to draw all the time. I hated it. Something a...

Weekend Adventures

Happy last weekend before school starts, guys! Even though I'm not in school any more, it's hard to avoid those back-to-school vibes when you're living in a small college town. The dynamic of our town definitely changes when school starts back up again. The campus traffic is definitely worth avoiding in the mornings, coffee shops are packed again, weeknight events are hard to come by, and bars are kind of the worst. I don't really go to bars that much anyway, but there's a notable (and miserable) difference.  Anyway, here's a couple of (horrible iPhone) photos from this weekend: The Pioneers of Prime Time TV opening for Courtney Marie Andrews at Art Obscura last night! If you ever have a chance to see The Pioneers of Prime Time TV perform, you have to see them. The two man group is absolutely enchanting and the violinist has the voice of an angel. They don't have their newer stuff up on their Soundcloud, but rest assured that it's also...
