Do It Yourself Day!!

Good Morning Bloggers

I hope everyone is having a good day so far. Today is one of those mommy busy days but this morning took me by surprise. First the girls woke up without being so moody judy, then i notice Amelia picking out her clothes and got dress all by herself! Joannelly comes to me asking for school lunch which I would normally do for her but I didn't do groceries this week. To my surprise she managed to make a sandwich then added a few healthy snacks with her bottle of water. What an healthy kid I have!!

With that being said my girls are growing up to be independent little girls under my supervision of course. To be able to see that they are doing it all by themselves its amazing and made me realized that there's going to be a day when they won't need my help. But for now I'll treasure these moments and put them in my mommy memory box.

Until the next blog!!...

Monster High Cake!

Yesterday was my second cousin's birthday party. The theme was Monster High but she wanted a replica version of Draculora Sweet 1600th birthday cake. And i did just that! With some of my knowledge of cake decorating i put all my effort into this cake. The end results was that the birthday princess was happy and she loved it. I took about 12hrs of no sleep and mulitple breaks (because of the kids) to make this cake. Im not a professional or experince baker that i can do any cake less than 12hrs with no breaks.

I wanted to use cake box mix just to avoid getting stress out and it saves time. However, what i did was i added 3/4 cup of flour just so that the cake is not completely moist and easier to work with when working with layered cakes. I made homemade cream cheese frosting n try to make frosting to crumb coat my cakes before i put fondant. When crumb coating a cakes means that you are covering up the cake with frosting that way your not dealing with loose crumbs. Fondant is a edible clay made of marshmellow and sugar powder, its used to create figures and whatever design one comes up with.

What do you think about the cake? its one of the cakea ive made so far and im proud of the cakes i recently made. I greatful i started within family and now i have people reaching out to me about my cakes! Who knows maybe i see a business in the future..

Until the next blog!..

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!

Early Morning Rush

Good Morning Bloggers!

As a mother of two girls my mornings are a bit crazy. My alarm goes of at the same time everyday and I get up 30 mins after it goes off, then I try to get ready before the girls wake up. As soon as the girls are ready we rush out the door to get to school on time. But when I have to do errands that day I don't get enough time to get breakfast so I grab some quick and healthy from the corner store that provides enough energy for the day. When it comes to a smoothie on-the-go I love to drink the Naked smoothie Green Machine. Its only 270 calories and has all the super green foods that our body needs to go with our day. I like to pair it with the KIND nutritional bar with almond, coconut, blended with honey and a variety of other healthy nuts. So when I need a pick me up to get me going on a busy day these two on-the-go breakfast does the job.

Until my next blog...
