Deactivated Facebook and some Cupcakes

Hello!
So, I got rid of my Facebook and decided to go back to blogging. Facebook started to get a little out of control, and it was time to get things back to the basics.

I decided to keep my Instagram though, even though they changed all the privacy settings. I am sure they are going to be using my photos of coffee cups and my traffic updates seeing as they are so artistic with those fancy filters of theirs.

With the new year quickly approaching, I have decided that I needed to really get back to doing things that make me happy. Once I find my camera battery charger, I am going to get back into taking some pictures of the greatness Washington offers, and my first project is Engagement photos for my sister. I can't believe my baby sister got married!

The other day, I decided to make some cupcakes and go back to my roots! I made from scratch Chocolate Caramel cupcakes with a Peanut Butter Buttercream frosting!


I saw this thing on Pinterest, of course, that said how to make our cupcakes rise more. There have been times where I have made cupcakes and they just didn't seem to rise very well. I set the oven for 350 to preheat, then once the cupcakes were in the oven I lowered the temp to 325. Look how well they rose! Instead of cutting out the centers and filling them with caramel, I took the lazy way and put a Rolo inside... but next time I will make sure that I don't put them in too early... it sunk to the bottom.
I brought them to work because quite frankly, they are delicious... and only a few have been eaten! What the heck!

Tomorrow, I have a promotional video shoot for the company I work for. We have this gorgeous new space that has been completely renovated and we are doing some promotional work for the website. It's a little exciting when I get to get full hair and makeup done, but not exciting when I have no idea what to wear and I hate being interviewed! Hopefully I look better on this than I did on Wheel of Fortune... speaking of! It's pretty awkward when you are working out and look up on the TV and see yourself.. Luckily the volume was down, but what was I thinking with that hair and unfflattering top? Oh well.

Thanks to theCHIVE, I got my own spread as Chivette of the Week! That was pretty awesome! I decided to keep it classy and didn't want to slut it up like half the other girls on there. With the good comes the bad though, but luckily I have received a lot of nice compliments from it. A few, "she's fat" and "she must be a whore" comments, but that is a given. At first, I took it pretty hard and I was upset with those hurtful words, but then I realized that I kept myself not only clothed, but represented in a way that would not make me shameful or disgraceful to the military. Which- thanks everyone for the awesome comments!

For the jerks out there, haters gonna hate.



This weekend is the Seahawk-49er game! Can you believe the high scoring games lately!? Let's hope the Hawks stomp the 9ers! Oh wow, did I just say that? Sorry-- my hometown team vs my current home team... Well, I would LOVE to see the Hawks win it! I am so stoked too I get to represent the Military and hold the flag on the field! 'merica! I will be sure to take some pictures and post them seeing as Facebook is no more :)



Thanks to all my Chive supporters and followers, and a big thank you to all the service men and women who are overseas this year who can't spend it with their families.

See yaaa

Oh yeah! I went back dark! What do you think?
