It's Spring!

IMG_6311.stampWhat better way to celebrate spring than with this adorable hydrangea cake? I love spring time and all the beautiful flowers that come along with it. And hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers! Even my wedding stationary featured real hydrangeas on my programs, menus and name cards. If you are feeling adventurous, check out the tutorial on how to make it!

Nothing Bundt Cakes

I love stopping in at the local boutique cupcake shop and picking out my favorite flavor to indulge on for the day. Recently, my friend Kate introduced me to an even better concept - yes, it is by far better in my opinion - Nothing Bundt Cakes. Fresh, delicious, and more consumable than an individual cupcake. Why you may ask? Well, these delicious cakes are not as rich and compact as a cupcake and the icing is just right. Whereas, sometimes I find with cupcakes you take one bite and you feel like you've had enough. With the bundt cake you can buy an individual size or 'party size'. What a great concept. The flavor I tried was Chocolate Chocolate Chip with their Signature Icing. It's like Goldie Locks - just right! Fluffy, flavorful, and hits the spot leaving you wanting more! Try it....you will see! Check out their various locations.

The best in the West!

Saving Faces
&
Lips and Locks
If you ask any woman they will swear by their hair dressor or facialist. Hence, this very posting in my blog. I was fortunate to have met Jenny Evans of Saving Faces Skin Care and Sheree Pouls of Lips and Locks three years ago. I was referred to Sheree (my hair dressor and make up artist) for my wedding - she is amazing - and I still see her to this day. Sheree referred me to Jenny for my skin. I get my eyebrows and facials done with Jenny every month. What a lifesaver! I am so fortunate for these ladies. I thought I'd share their expertise with you! They are now under the same roof in their brand new gorgeous salon in Venice, California. You must check them out! They truly are the best in the West!
