To ConsingMENT or NOT ...

To Consign it or not
that was the question.

Usually, I just donate, or give away my clothes- to happy homes. That, or keep them until my mother takes them from me because they're to worn and torn.

*And I say they because I have severe separation anxiety with anything I own.

Everything I own has value, at least to me.
I know where everything I wear comes from.

But the question wasn't, what was I going to wear?
It was where was what I was wear going to go.

Quite the brain teaser.

So I decided to consign, with a good friend of mine.

First we went to a consignment shop in Manyunk called The Attic.

This was an ok attempt number 1.
They only took one of my shirts...out of 4 trash bags of clothes...
but I will cut The Attic some slack, because they were totally, completely overwhelmed with clothing.
which is a win for them
but a loss for me...

Attempt 2
the one, the only, Plato's Closet.
If your a broke, desperate, girl, you should know allllllll about this place.
However, I really did not. So they took two dresses... out of the 4 trash bags of clothes... Yay

Final Attempt
was a donation box.

I didn't even care about the money.
I just wanted my happy clothes to be happy.

And that made me happy.

Latte Queen

Little know fact about me:

I like lattes, and I make a mean one too.

I make lattes, pretty good ones at that.
And sometimes I can draw a heart in your Latte.

Or a snow princess..

Here is some of my work:





Some turn out pretty, and others pretty...abstract!
But they are always super tasty!















I was once called the Oprah of lattes.

And you get a Latte! And you get a Latte ! Who wants a Latte!

One day, my biggest latte accomplishment will hopefully look like one of these fabulous coff-ous's,

Yo Dog!

My friends and I are dog/pet obsessed.
The obsession really lies within canines though. We are puppy crazy! For good reason too.

Here is a look at this puppy lifestyle. 


I have some of the most gorgeous pups you will ever see.

Meet Bevin and Jasper:

They love each other, and I love them.

Now in Burlington I have found some doggy friend that I lovelovelove. 

Meet Tupper:

My dear friend, Haley, just rescued this little cutie pie. He has become her faithful companion, and a friend to all.  

Meet Buck:

Buck is a brand new puppy friend! And he is absolutely gorgeous! Just look at those eyes!

Meet Moose:

He's my friend Emily's little ball of dog.

Moose is a black baby lab and he's just too cute to handle!

As much as am a dog person, I recently have become quite the cat person. This is due to the fact that there are some great cats in my life!

Marlo is Alisha Durgin's cute bundle of joy. She took him in while working for the human society, it was love at first stare-down.

They make a great pair

I myself had a beautiful little kitten that I was fostering for a short amount of time, named Belle.
Belle has a great home now. I miss her on the daily but I know she is happy and healthy!

Pets come in and out of your life and bring more to it than imaginable. My dear friend Mia's faithful companion, Cocoa, passed away this week.
I wish I could say more to Mia to make her feel better, but I can't imagine a loss so deep.

Happy Holidays

It's Christmas Eve! Can you believe it? I can't. 
For the past 20 years I have gone and seen Santa. No, not at the North Pole. Yes, at the mall. It has always been my mother's big thing to take me and my brothers to see Santa and get a quick photo. Last year, would have been the first year we didn't get to see Santa but for part of my mom's christmas gift I shuffeled the boys, against their will and liking, into the car and off to see Santa.
This year however, with me being home for such a short time, we really didn't have the time to go. This really bummed me and my mom out because we have all the pictures up until now.
SO I decided to bring santa to us!

We set up a cute photo shoot in the back yard and it was adorable:

So although we may not have seen Santa this year, he still came around!
Plus this was the first time the puppies got to be in the picture! Which really is more important.

2011 Rocking Women

2011 gave all of us a lot of things. For me personally, too much too keep count.
One thing that 2011 gave to me, was some smoking hot music videos from some seriously talented women ~Girl Power~

Here are some of my favorites:


Rihanna.
gave us a couple videos to gawk at this year-

We Found Love

You Da One

Willow Smith. 
She's only done a few songs, but I see big things in this tiny misses future and under Nicki's wing, the only place Willow is going is up.

Fireball

And of course, there's plenty more I could go one about but I will end with

Karmin.
if you don't the duo that is Karmin, first check out their "Look at Me Now" Video. It's awesome. Like totally awesome. That's not the only awesome cover they have, all of their covers are sick.

Crash Your Party

Were there any seriously powerful women that made a difference in your life this year? Huh fellas?

Cupcake Identification.

Although I have always had a huge sweet tooth, my cupcake obsession has heightened within the past couple of months. This is mostly due to the fact that these, little cakes of cuteness, now surround my daily life. I recently began working in a cupcake bakery, around october, and I absolutely love it!
My father has worked in the food industry forever so I have had the pleasure of developing an understanding and appreciation for food. Working in cupcake land however, is the first time I, myself, have professionally worked with food.

Lately I have been repeatedly asking my co workers a particular question:
What cupcake do you identify with?

My answer:

The Kahula Cupcake. 

It's sweet, a little alcoholic- but perfectly presentable, and o so super cute. AND it has sparkly glitter sprinkles! 

What kind of cupcake are you?
