It’s that time of year again! Last year I made a figure friendly lemon cake and this year I wanted to make a chocolate cake based on something I had YEARS ago at Cracker Barrel–Chocolate Coca-Cola Cake! It only has 160 calories per serving! Adding the chocolate sauce brings the stats up to 175 calories–not bad at all! My birthday is May 26th–looks like I’ll be able to have my cake and eat it too!

We took my beautiful princess to the carnival for the 1st time yesterday. The weather was fabulous and my baby had a great time. The little girl is fearless. She’s not scared of heights like I am! I took the picture above of my daughter and husband up in the ferris wheel. I think it captures the moment beautifully.
Some of the fun we had…
As for attire, I went for simple, comfy but still a little glam! I put my hair up in a chill “bohemian” low updo.
I wore wedges–they look rather uncomfortable but looks can be deceiving–they were perfectly fine to walk around in. I truly love my shoe finds at Payless. I wanted to rock some kind of accessory but since we were going to be walking around a lot, I thought it would be nice to wear a shirt that had a decorative statement design. All I had to do was add earrings and I felt glam!
Shorts: American Eagle
Shirt: Body Central
Sandals: Payless
Bag: Louis Vuitton Speedy 35
I was inspired by a skirt to create this look. I thought it would be fun to being out the teal/ aqua pattern of the skirt. I hope you enjoy this tutorial!

Hi All–
Quick OOTD post–nothing entirely special. This post is mainly about the yellow scarf I’m rockin’ in the photos below. I’m obsessed with scarves–especially oversized ones. In my opinion, this scarf just adds a touch of glam to an an otherwise boring outfit (white racerback & khaki shorts–does it get much more boring?)
I added taupe sandals & these earrings! I love these disco ball earrings! The colors in the earring are dead on and match the scarf perfectly!
As for hair–it’s big and I love it. This hairstyle is an acquired taste that has been highly requested on my YouTube channel. However, I’m on the fence on doing a full tutorial on it. Everyone always says that most of these YouTube beauty gurus are all alike in terms of their style & hair dos yet when a guru tries to be a bit different with her style, sometimes people feel the need to put them down.
Style is very subjective and it’s all about feeling beautiful and being confident.
What’s the saying? Haters gonna hate? Yeah.
I kept the makeup very simple going with my HG eye shadow–MAC Sunnydaze pigment! 
Overall, I love the balance of the form fitting tee & shorts, the big comfy scarf & the big hair. Very balanced and super chic! The perfect outfit to rock when you’re going out for ice cream with the family!
Most people will tell you that creamy dressings are 100% hands off when you’re trying to eat healthy however, if enjoyed in moderation and correct portions–you can have your chunky blue cheese dressing & eat it too! *lol*
This tasty salad comes in at about 300 Calories & 3.8 grams of fat!
Just a typical evening here at home which is why I am sans makeup! I hope you enjoy!

This is one of my go to hair do’s when I’m in a rush. It’s one of my favorite looks to wear at the moment because it’s been so rainy. It enables me to wear my hair out & keeps it out of my face at the same time.
