Mission Desserts...Successes






So here's just some pictures of amazing, sugary creations that some of my friends and I have managed to create. Dinosaur and Unicorn cookies with Emilia Badilia and Sami at one of our amazing MLIA nights:) And, of course, rainbow cupcakes made by Lane and I. Recently, many people at my school have realized how easy it is to create these colorful cupcakes(color...and cupcakes? Perfectly amusing and distracting for us teenagers), so everyone has been making them:) simply make the batter, and separate it into however many bowls of different colors you want. Mix food coloring into bowls, and pour them in layers into the cupcake pan. ^-^ quite easy, and quite amazing. However you might want to double up the batter, it seems to make less cupcakes than supposed to. Oh, and by the way, that weird looking red circle cupcake? Yeah, its a Poke'ball. Because my boyfriend is that amazing and thinks of things like that.

WeHeartIt....All of It?

So, one of my very awesome friends, Izzy, recently introduced me to the website WeHeartIt.com. We Heart It is pretty much a website filled with quirky and beautiful photography, modeling, quotes, statements, etc. It's amazing and interesting to go through, really. Artwork, quirky Forever21/ Urban Outfitters-esque fashion(my taste indeed). As much as I adore it, however, it also has a downside on my mood. I'll go through the pictures, see all the stick-skinny and gorgeous models and feel like I'm not good enough. I mean, it's inspiring, but saddening. And, honestly, what teenage girl is going to look at a beautiful and skinny model with the words "You're beautiful, no matter what society thinks" printed on her hand, and actually feel better about themselves? It's just hard to relate to. I think girls need more than just "perfect" people to look up to. Perhaps it would be more uplifting to see a 100 pound blonde girl holding the hand of an overweight brunette with the same quote. <3
