I just had to share with you guys my sister's Superbowl Cupcakes. She baked them for her co-workers yesterday (as well as made the frosting and decorated the chocolate-covered almonds) and I just found them so cute.





Yum. ♥

This week I haven't been doing much browsing, except for e-shopping for beauty products and ipod accessories. What else is new right?

Pottery, Sushi, and Alcohol

  • Feb. 6th, 2010 at 1:12 AM

Today was a sweet girl's night. We went to a little pottery studio nearby to pick out ceramic mugs/plates/figurines and then we sat down to paint them and have them glazed. I picked out a mug and it was so much fun to paint while talking and laughing with the girls. The price was ridiculous though. $9 for my mug, $8 for studio supplies like paint, stamps, brushes, etc. I would probably do this every couple of months.

Afterwards we hit up a Japanese restaurant to try some of their amazing sushi. So so good. I had a California roll and some crab & cream cheese. Delicious. I also had a chicken teriyaki meal that came with the meat, noodles, vegetables, fried rice, salad, and a little soup for less than $9. Talk about a bargain.

After that we hit up the little liquor store for some drinks. We made apple martinis and some vodka mixes and we had a blast. Until I (TMI PEOPLE WITH A PHOBIA OF VOMITING DO NOT READ) accidentally laughed too hard and started throwing up. Everywhere. I wasn't even close to drunk, I don't know how it happened. I guess I was bent over and laughing too hard and on a full stomach and it all just went to hell but I cleaned up and continued with the little alchie fest because damnit, I never do this, and I'm not one to let something so small get in my way of a good time.

We watched Sex and the City, talked, and just hung out. All I can think about is the sushi, though. I can't wait to go back. The best part? It's only like 4 minutes away from my house. <3 I wish I had my camera with me so that I could take some photos of the restaurant and the food. It was all so pretty, sigh.

Oh! And I got my iPod Touch finally, along with my tax monies. More on that later~

DIY: My Ghetto Vanity

  • Feb. 2nd, 2010 at 10:36 PM
I was hoping to be done with this little DIY project earlier this afternoon but I was missing a very important screwdriver and so I had to wait to get one and that happened about two hours ago so here are some pictures of the finished result!

My goal was to create a little space where I could do my makeup everyday. I got this table at IKEA today for about $20 and went to town. It looks a bit cheap but I assure you it's super sturdy and well, I just organized it to my liking.



And a little close up:



What do you guys think? Any more storage ideas you think I should try?

What NOT To Do When Working At A Restaurant

  • Feb. 1st, 2010 at 10:27 PM
  1. Forget to wear slip-resistant shoes
  2. Forget to wear slip-resistant shoes while walking with food
  3. Forget to wear slip-resistant shoes while walking with food to the back of the restaurant on a floor full of grease
  4. Forget to wear slip-resistant shoes while walking with food to the back of the restaurant on a floor full of grease and fall on your ass.
Learn from my stupidity. Thanks.
