Since I moved to Salt Lake City last month, I’ve been exploring the area with my friend/awesome roommate. I present…some photo documentation. Playing at the fountains at City Creek. City Creek has Christmas lights in the trees all-year-round, by the by. Mountain drive. Ski lifts. Everywhere. Park City. Happy almost-Friday, everyone!…
No, guys—I didn’t hop on a plane over to Lyon, France, last weekend. But I did study abroad there, and I’m kind of a huge proponent of studying abroad and traveling, so I thought I’d share with you what I think is the best way to spend a night in Lyon. I’m going to take you through what I would wear, what I would do, and what I would eat. Oh, and talk about the language, of course; surely if you’re…

And jammed to some sweet, sweet music along the way. And today I’d like to share with you some of what my journey sounded like.

I’m sure all of you saw this on Facebook already, but hey, just in case you didn’t. It’s got an ombre wedding dress; long red hair being combed…
…a Halloween nail art DIY, mayhaps? I’m thinking this would be perfect for a cake- or cupcake-themed costume. The process is pretty straightforward, but here it is: You’ll need nail glue, some tiny sprinkles, and some acetone (for taking it off later. it’s a beast.) Paint the nail glue onto your nail, dip your finger in the sprinkles jar, remove, and voilà.

Finally! A cake recipe to go along with my recent orange frosting recipe. I’m just going to get right to the recipe in this post. Orange Cake or Cupcakes Makes 12 cupcakes or enough batter for one 9″ round cake pan. Double the recipe if you’d like a full-sized cake. Ingredients 1 1/2 cups cake flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces 1 cup sugar 2 egg whites 3/4 cup milk 1/2 tsp…
