RSPCA Cupcake Day

It was RSPCA Cupcake Day on Sunday. A friend of mine was selling boxes of cupcakes to raise money to donate. There was so many awesome flavours. I choose Red Velvet.

So far she has raised over $600, but she is planning one more baking day, hopefully getting over $1000! Now that is amazing (and a lot of cupcakes).

I got my adorable cat from the RSPCA, so I have a lot to thank them for :)

Kate

I just adore Kate Middleton, she really is everything that a princess ought to be.

I just love this photo of Wills and Kate and the Olympics, it's not often that they show so much PDA.

I do love brunette who wears red. Kate is wearing a lovely red blazer at the Games.

Once again, Kate is wearing a piece from Zara - most of her jeans are Zara. I think it's awesome that she buys "cheaper" brands.

Wish I could pull off a blazer...but I feel like I'm back in school were I had to wear one everyday...

The red blazer is on Zara's website and is 69.99GBP.

Bras, nails and Barbara

As I have stopped breastfeeding and wearing nursing bras is a tad silly when you don't need them, I decided to do a little online shopping for a few new bras.

I stopped by a few online stores but not all of them go up to an E cup (story of my life). I was suprised that bras'n'things were having a sale and that they had increased their E cup bra range from when I last looked (which was a long tim ago...).

I decided to get a couple of sports bras, because they are so comfy. I decided on this style.

This came in a pack of two (one black and pink and one white and pink)...and it was on sale for $20!!!!

I also got this bra for $10... I love purple...

I was very impressed by how fast bras'n'things shipped my order!

Here are what my nails look like today. The colour is OPI 'ate berries in the canaries' and the accent nail is Color Club in 'Coral Cascade'.

Then I stamped on a couple of stars in the matching OPI colour (hard to see in this photo)

I was watching The View today and Barbara Walters had such an awesome necklace on! Very pretty turquoise colour. I took a photo... how cool is it? Barbara sure looks good for an 82 year old!

Have a great weekend :)

You've got mail.

Don't you just love it when you get a parcel in the mail?

I had completely forgotten about my Chine Glaze order!!

This is my favourite colour from my order... It's called "Ruby Slippers"...and has lots of red shimmery glitter in it, just like Dorothy's shoes from the Wizard of Oz.

 

 

I painted my nails with "Passion", which is a pale gold.

  

Then I put on 2 coats of "I'm not lion".

And I got this...

It is very pretty and super sparkly is real life...and a tad more gold. I love that the glitter is fine and not too chunky!!

I got a few more nail polishes, can't wait to try them all.

A baby-less day...

Today my four beautiful girlfriends and I met up ...and I went babyless!! My husband is at home today so he offered to watch him because I believe it has become very obvious that I just need a couple of hours away from him. I missed him alot, but I was only gone for about 4 hours.

My friend lives in the mountains...I know I am getting close to her house when my car radio looses music and just turns to buzzing. It is very beautiful. I took this photo near her house.

I'm glad it was a nice day with no raindrops in sight. The road to her house goes around and around and around, so many twists and turns. I drove back in the dark going well under the speed limit, the locals all honked me...I'd rather be safe then sorrow.

In true form, we usually bring gluten-free snacks (gluten-free because 3 of my friends have gluten intolerance...the 4th is cutting it from her diet to see if it helps he asthma!). Cupcakes are our favourite treat, I had some time last night to quickly whip up a batch. Just vanilla, but I made the icing purple... I wish I could have made bright purple icing but it was not to be - I mixed red and blue...I think you probably have to buy purple to make it vivid. Oh well. The cupcakes were all finished so I know they didn't taste like crap (which often happens to my gluten-free food..)

It was a good day - awesome friends and a bit of a chin-wag. Can't ask for more than that!

New colour on my nails yesterday. This is China Glaze in "Tantalize Me". I'm not the best photographer and taking a photo at night using the light in your kitchen is probably not ideal. It's a beautiful pink/purple shade with sparking blue in the light, often giving it a more purple-y look. I added the stars with my new konad stamper.
