Winter Break! 2014

The girls had a winter break from school, that a whole week of them being at home. I wanted to plan a week of fun but it turns out the week plan itself ( as weird as that sounds it was true!). The girls and i spend the winter break either outside or inside but it was always with family.
so heres how our winter break went:

Monday: Lazy Day!

Tuesday: Pizza Night!

(Kids pizza ingredients) 

(Mommy n Daddy ingredients)

Wednesday: I made Pancakes with heart sprinkles!

Thursday - Saturday: My little niece stay with us, they had a little sleepover :)

 Saturday: We went Ice Skating!!

 and took a selfie in the bathroom...priceless moment with them..lol

To top of our week my sister cut a cake for her daughter and close friend ( excuse the blur the camera was a little dirty..lol)

The girls were sad the winter break was over and everyone had to go home but they were excited to be back in school the next day. Hope you all enjoyed your winter break as much as we did.

 Until the next Blog...

Birthday Cake!

This last week i was so busy because i had a cake to bake and deliver that weekend. The client was a friend of my assistant manager of a previous job. The cake was for a little girl turning 1, the theme of the cake was baby Minnie Mouse. I did not want to replicate the cake of the image i was given to do, instead i work with the image and my touch to it so that the cake is I made not someone else. The cake is a two tier cake with a red velvet cake on the first tier and the second tier was a yellow cake. The fillings on each was strawberry mouse with freshly cut strawberries slices. I was so proud of this cake because it was done and hour before it was suppose to be deliver. I love this cake because it yet another practice on my baking and decorating skills, I'm not yet a professional but it's a nice hobby of mines. As a disclaimer i am not posting the photo to show off or advertise any business, i just like to share the things i love to do.

Hope you like my creations i will be posting a lot more of my creations in the future!.

September Ipsy Bag Review!

Hey Bloggers!

 

Every month on my YouTube channel (Lovelynelly23) I do an open package of the Ipsy beauty cosmetic monthly subscription. Its only $10 a month and I can say it has been worth every penny. Every month these bags comes in different designs and different theme. This month bag theme is called "Classic Beauty" The only thing I didn't like that much was the sample of the "Life Palette" from EM which is a new cosmetic line. The colors are absolutely beautiful but not that pigmented.

I did a few swatches of the products that I've gotten below...


Caiyln- Tinted Lip Balm "Apple Red"

Starlook- Obsidian  Eye Pencil

 

NYX Lanikai (ES86) 

 

 

The whole look:

The things I used for this look:

 EM "The Life Palette"- Out to Lunch

The brushes I used for this look:

BH Cosmetics and Sonia Kashuk Kabuki Brush

 

Until my next blog!

Birthdays and Cakes!

Hey Bloggers!

  This past two weekends were filled with birthdays, mostly family members. My sister's birthday and three of my cousins as well. The Saturday of my sister birthday weekend, my sister and I along with her best-friend and our cousins went to the city to celebrate. The music was great, the view was amazing a three floor club, where you are thinking "wow I never seen this place before" its called "Ludlow Manor" down on Delaney Street on the lower east side. The place was fascinating, each floor had a different theme. The second floor looked like a 1920's casino theme and the third floor was more like a tropical forest.

 

The following weekend was my little cousin surprise 8th birthday. Her birthday theme was "Teen Beach Movie" I was so honor to do her birthday cake when my aunt ask if I can do the cake. Everyone in the family knows I like to bake so to make this cake was a challenge for me only because the last time I use fondant was for Jojo's 4th birthday where I wanted to make a Barbie doll cake. The fondant was not my friend that day so when I said yea to making my little cousin's birthday cake I said to my self "I'm going to make this cake as easy as possible" Everything seen here was not made from scratch because I was more into decorating then actually making everything from scratch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I use the Duff Goldman Fondant which was pretty easy to use compare to all the home-made fondants I made. I bought this one at Michael's for $21.99, on the Duff website is actually more.

It was fun celebrating my sister and cousin birthday; I had so much fun making this cake that all was well with birthdays and cakes!

Until the next blog!

Children's Carnival 2013

Hey Bloggers!

          We went to the Queens Country Farm Children's Carnival the other, its the first time the girls has ever been to one. It was another exciting trip with my older sister and her two children. I thought the price was little to much to pay for a 3year old but the minute we got right in the carnival it was worth it. When we got inside the carnival the first thing we say were the ponies! it was really cute cause the girls got to feed one that was just standing tied up eating.

I was kind of scared cause the girls were close to the point. A mothers "worry to much" instinct. I enjoy doing these kind of trips with my older sister and the kids, the kids get to have fun and the parents can enjoy the fact the kids (in some cases) would be asleep early.

At the carnival, there were some rides that we enjoyed...

The tea pot ride

We waited online for the swing ride and eating our snacks.

The swing ride 

We also went to a ride that was shaped like a school bus, we rode up and saw the whole carnival from up high.

The bumper car ride was really exciting, I was able to ride with Amelia. she also love cause the way the car was moving was how my husband drivers...Crazy!!
