Cake Pops.

I don't really like cake- the whole put a slice on my plate thing is just not appealing

I'll eat it but it's just not my favorite

I much rather have a delightful cupcake

but the new dessert that is popping up is fabulous

Cake Pops.

I've made Cake Balls before and Cake Pops are just those on a stick.

Well, I was reading a magazine and look what I stumbled upon

A Cake Pop Maker!

JCPenney  has a Bella Cucina Cake Pop Maker on sale for $19.99

BabyCakes has one for $24.95

I am lusting after one of these- to make the process that much easier!

Hop on over to Bakerella- the woman who started the great fad.

The Hangover- Girl Style.

Today, I went to go see Bridesmaids.

I'm not sure I've ever laughed so hard in a movie in my entire life

and I've seen some pretty funny movies.

Ya'll need to go see it...now

It reminded me of The Hangover but with a group of ladies
It was raunchy, inappropriate and hysterical.
One of my favorite characters is Megan... I can't tell you how scary/hilarious this woman is.
I promise you'll be rolling the entire time.
The chick flick of the year.

Mission Impossible.

I love Diet Coke

I know- It's like drinking lighter fluid and rips apart your stomach lining

okay, maybe that's too much

but in all honesty, it's not good for me.

My love has only grown deeper the longer I've been in college.

It's my go-to drink after the mornings (I opt for a good cup of coffee in the A.M.)

Anyways, at my friend Emma's house- I tasted Diet Coke Cherry for the first time

and just couldn't go back.

I returned to Alabama and Hannah (my BFF/fellow diet coke lover) and I went on an intense hunt for this stuff.

Note to everyone: It does not exist in the state of Alabama.

At least Birmingham- we went to four different places and no luck.

So of course, right when I got home, we searched for it here and found it at Kroger

whew.

We also traveled to Target where Calypso St. Barth is doing a line-

and I grabbed a few things

(note: I didn't really care for anything on the website but it is much better in person)

here's a peak:

Love these wedges- the hot pink shows when you wear them 

and they are more neutral/beige than shown here.

Hope everyone had a fab. friday

Sassy Nails.

After reading a review about the Sally Hansen Salon Effects, I had to try them.

So I marched to CVS, scanned my CVS card just to see if I had any coupons and bam.

$3 off a cosmetic purchase of $10 or more

The nail polish strips were exactly $10.

I was ecstatic.

So I carefully picked out a color- there are tons of cute ones... sadly, the cheetah print was sold out

or you know I would've snagged those.

So I opted for a more neutral, shiny polish. 

Called 'Raise a Glass'.

They were a little time consuming to put on, and it was my first time

but to stay on for 10 days is a pretty good deal 

and there's no dry time.

#success

They even feel like nail polish

Now off to study.

Fresh Reminder.

Studying is underway and I feel like I'm drowning in Spanish

I'm just so ready to get it over with

I don't think I can stare at the pages much longer...

I read Jesus Calling this morning and it gave me such a sense of relief:

"Do not resist or run from the difficulties in your life. These problems are not random mistakes; they are hand-tailored blessings designed for your benefit and growth. Embrace all the circumstances that I allow in your life, trusting Me to bring good out of them. View problems as opportunities to rely more fully on Me. When you start to feel stressed, let those feelings alert you to your need for Me. Thus, your needs become doorways to deep dependence on Me and increasing intimacy between us. Although self-sufficiency is acclaimed in the world, reliance on Me produces abundant living in the world, reliance on Me produces abundant living in My kingdom. Thank Me for the difficulties in your life, since they provide protection from the idolatry of self-reliance."

That made me take a deep breath and thank the Lord for this day.

Finals are not the end of the world.

My dorm.

Goodbye- you usually had horrible water pressure and a lack of paper towels

but I kind of liked you.

Finals and Farewells.

via the College Prepster

This is a good reminder- we need these around campus ha.

Finals always seem to stress me out/ get the best of me.

Sometimes I feel as if I can't focus for more than 5 minutes.

I probably won't be around that much this week due to the stress of these three finals.

Tomorrow is my worst one- Spanish.

Oh how I loathe Spanish- and I need two more years of it.

 Tonight, we had a quick dinner at our favorite spot (Mugshots)

They have the best burgers

It's sad I have to leave two of my best friends this summer 

Mason giving his 'sexy' look apparently.

They have twin cars. Two good good people.

Weekend Snapshots.

My weekend was full of studying.

Finals week is quickly approaching and I am fully preparing myself. 

I have the essentials to survival:

1. Lots of pens, pencils and highlighters. 

2. Coffee. Lots and lots of coffee and diet coke and coffee. Did I mention coffee?

3. Snacks. I may/may not have taken several ziplock baggies to the Caf and filled them with a variety of cereals

4. Friends. I need those right now- seriously. We are all pulling together to help each other.

5. My Bible. I need a breather sometimes and a reminder that finals are not everything.

6. My MacBook- that computer has saved my life time and time again, but I must resist the urge to get on FaceBook and I'm not one of those crazy people who can have others change their passwords from them. No thank you. I like FaceBook .... a lot. 

Here's a snapshot of my weekend... Not entirely exciting at all. And two of the photos happen to be beverages. I guess that covers number 2 on the list.

The new Mocha Coconut Frap at Starbucks

Oh.my.gosh it is so delicious

Hannah and I went to 'study' and participate in the Frap half price happy hour from 3-5 at Starbucks!

My friend Kat literally has a stockpile of these in her fridge. 

Too good.

And this is Kat. She looks pretty pale but I can promise you she's a bronzed goddess.

She would probably kill me if she knew I put this up- but she doesn't read my blog :) 

And I obviously didn't take this last picture but how perfectly preppy is this belt?!

Hint to all boys out there wanting to look like Fratstars.
