golden oreo cake batter blondies

Anything cake batter=My obsession.

Seriously, it doesn't even have to be food! Just the smell of it alone makes me happy! I know, I'm sure you don't want to hear about my cake batter obsession anymore since I've ranted enough about it on this blog. But come on guys, who doesn't love cake batter!? No one. & if you dare say that you don't like cake batter, I'll... Well, let's just say we probably can't be friends anymore. We clearly don't have anything in common! These bad boys are deeelicious & anyone would be crazy not to make them. Super easy & super tasty. Who can resist? Obviously I couldn't!

Golden Oreo Cake Batter Blondies

found on: sally's baking addiction

 Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix
1/4 cup canola oil
1 egg
1/3 -1/2 cup milk (you want it pretty dense)
1/2 cup sprinkles
1.5 cups chopped Golden Oreos (reserve a handful to sprinkle on top)

Directions:

1.) Preheat oven to 350 F.

2.) Combine cake mix, oil & egg in a bowl.
3.) Gradually add milk because you want the batter to be as thick as possible.
4.) Fold in the sprinkles & chopped Oreos.
 5.) Pour into 8 x 8 baking pan, sprinkle a few more sprinkles + crushed Oreos on top, and bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are just turning brown. DO NOT OVER COOK!!!
6.) Allow to cool until the center sets before cutting.

Pretty Pink Lips

I adore pink lips. I love light pink & super bright pink & everything in between! I just bought MAC Pink Nouveau & MAC Angel the other day and I love them both! As most of you know, Pink Nouveau is bright pink & one of the most popular lipsticks out there. Angel is a lighter pink that is much more neutral but so perfect for everyday wear. It just gives your lips a little bit of umph though instead of a lot of umphhh like Pink Nouveau! I'm always on the lookout for new lip colors though so if you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know! :)

 This one doesn't show up too well in pictures unfortunately (since it's just a bit more pink than my lip color) but I still love it!

Take me to paradise, pretty please

I know we took a big Europe trip not too long ago but... I am dying to go on another trip already!!! Preferably the beach... No, definitely a beach vacay, somewhere tropical & somewhere not in Cali. And how adorable is that floral swimsuit!? I'm dying over it!... But hate spending so much on one swimsuit! Ugh... the troubles of life :). One pieces are really in right now & I'm loving the old school feel to them, it's so fun!  Anyways, back to the point. I'm addicted to traveling & well, my hubby isn't haha. Once again, the troubles of life. Soo it looks like a girls trip may be in my near future or I'll just have to convince Adam to come with me! Guess we'll have to see!

I found the perfect facial cleansing routine...Finally!

I could not be more excited about this. After the disaster that happened with the Oil Cleansing Method, I was desperate to find something that not only would clear up the mess the oil made but also worked for everyday use. I am so thrilled to tell you guys that I finally found the perfect routine! I highly recommend you give it a try if you're looking for a more natural skin regimen! Here is what I use:

1.) Raw Wildflower Honey

 I literally just get my hands damp & massage the honey onto my skin like normal face cleanser. Sometimes I let it sit on there for a couple minutes & then wash it off with warm water. So easy & so cheap!




2.) Apple Cider Vinegar

With this, I get a cotton square damp with water & then use it as a toner, so I just rub the cotton square all over my face!




3.) Baking Soda

Once or twice a week (max) I mix a little bit of baking soda in with my honey & exfoliate with it. It feels amazing & your skin feels so smooth/soft after!




4.) Cinnamon & Nutmeg

 I mix a teaspoon of cinnamon & nutmeg with enough honey to make a paste & then use this as a mask a couple times a week. I leave it on for about 30 minutes but if you have super sensitive skin, you can wash it off sooner! This is also an exfoliant so be careful with it & don't use it too often. I love this because the nutmeg helps to relieve the appearance of blemishes & acne scars!

Hey, Sailor!

I have been obsessing with makeup lately. I have been ordering new products on the daily. Good news for my face but bad news for my wallet... Oh well! A girl HAS to have makeup right!? Even if it means spending a few bucks here & there.  

Now, I have always loved MAC eye shadows (&lipstick) so when I saw that they were coming out with a new 'sailor collection' I was thrilled! Who doesn't love all things sailor right now?? I'm just going to assume you all said "duh, of course"... & if you didn't, I suggest jumping on the boat (pun intended) to join the rest of us!  If you haven't already, go check out this collection! &&& then order immediately! The navy eye liner is probably my favorite! Ah it's seriously gorgeous on!!! I have everything below except the navy eye shadow (I mayyy go buy that tomorrow... After making this collage I decided it was a must have as well.) & I'm in love with all of it! Definitely worth buying!

Trix Krispy Treats

 I just couldn't help myself. I had to do it. How could I resist? I mean, Trix krispy treats!? Get real. It simply had to happen! I definitely wasn't disappointed with these either. They were exactly what I expected! Who doesn't love the classic rice krispie treats? I feel like they were a childhood staple! Maybe it's just me... but I'm gonna assume that you all ate them growing up as well. Enough of my ramblings though. Go make these if you like Trix &&& you love oooey gooey marshmallow. They were delish!

Had a casual day spent with my niece, my sissy, my shmoop, my momma, my papa & my luv uh(Adam)! It was mine & Adam's 3 year anniversary of being together & also our 1 year of being sealed! Soo we celebrated a bit with the family. On another note, I have an obsession with this chambray shirt. There are just so many different ways to wear it. Can't wait to get creative & explore the many options! Don't be surprised if you see this again soon :)
