Valentines Day Wish List

With Valentine’s Day a week away, I have decided to treat myself to a little something extra to celebrate Single-and-Fabulous Day!

For those of us gals who don’t have an extra man lying around to pamper us on this Hallmark Holiday, I suggest we put on our Brightest Red Lipstick, Highest Heels and that Little Black Dress that gives us Catherine Zeta-Jones curves! Who needs a reason to drink Champagne and eat Godiva Chocolate on a Tuesday?!?!? I intend to do just that… in Heels and Lip Gloss, OF COURSE!

Enjoy your Wonderful Amazing Day Lovelies because you deserve it!

Oh, and watch a Bradley Cooper movie ;) Cheers…

Top Five Things I want to give myself for Valentine’s Day 2012:

1. Balloons

{I simply adore them! Balloons make me smile MORE than flowers, tis true!}

2. Cupcakes

{Every day should be a Cupcake Day!}

The Cupcake Blog

3. Homemade Valentine’s Day Cards

{I make these every year with Josie, for my beloved family and friends}

Make and Takes

4. Ballroom Dance Lessons

{Because you never know when you might need to dance the night away with a Dean Martin look-alike}

LoveRunaway

5. Bright Pink Girlie-Girl Heels-with Bows

{With these shoes, my day/week/life would be complete!}

Have a FABULOUS Valentines Day Week Lovelies!

All Things Princess

When I grow up, I want to be a Princess!! The little girl inside of me still wants the Fairy Tale ending with Prince Charming, a castle and closets full of fluffy dresses and sparkling shoes!! While life hasn’t always been perfect, I have never lost the dream of wearing a Tiara and riding off on a White Horse.

I’ve come to realize that the road to the Castle is actually paved by the Princess herself. If we sit on our bottoms all day long and wait for “Prince Charming” to come along, we will miss all of the Exciting Adventures that life holds for us. WE are the masters (or rather mistresses) of our OWN destiny. Actually, I love how Carrie Bradshaw put it: “I don’t need a Diamond, just get me a really BIG closet!”

Never Stop Dreaming… and Work Hard to Achieve those Dreams!!

Even my three year old daughter LOVES to dress up like a Princess!
“Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Josie would dress like a Princess everyday if she could…

Until Prince Charming comes along… there are always Cupcakes!! (Images via Pinterest)

Enjoy Your Very Princess Wednesday!!!

Here are my top five for this week…

1. Katie Freiling !  Fabulous, smart, business savvy fellow Red Head!! What’s not to love. She has brilliant ideas and is down to earth and friendly! She even loves yoga too!!

2. Running – I am getting back into my running (as one of my Top Ten for this Year IS a 10k). I’m not sure if I LOVE this one… but I need it. Track, here I come!! Too bad I lost my MP3 player, so now I have to run holding my portable CD player!! Welcome back… 1999!!! No-one better laugh at me!!!

3.  CUPCAKES – with all the Birthdays going on around me, I seem to be surrounded by, and therefore eating bunches of Cupcakes!!! Which leads us to the running :)

4. Basso and Brooke (again!) – I could literally spend hours looking at their collections, art and photography!! They have even designed artwork for wine!!!

What is NOT to love about these guys!!!!

5. Flash Foods Coffee – Ok, this might sound super cheesy… but I Love, love, LOVE getting my morning coffee from the corner gas station! The place is about the size of my bedroom… but I love the coffee! (Ok, not better than Starbucks, but pretty darn close!) For $1.27, I can get a HUGE cup of piping hot Wonderfulness. It wakes me up every morning! I think I might have a slight infatuation ;)

Tonight I made Mini Oreo Surprise Cupcakes, courtesy of Arax-Rae (Kissandtype ) Van Buren. Fantastic!!! These cupcakes turned out so moist and delicious! I used Reduced Fat Cream Cheese and Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting. I’m excited about sharing these little tastes of heaven tomorrow at work!

What You Need!

1 pkg. (2-layer size) chocolate cake mix
1 pkg.  (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 egg
2 Tbsp.  sugar
48 Mini OREO Bite Size Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
1-1/2 cups  thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

Make It!

HEAT oven to 350°F.

PREPARE cake batter as directed on package. Mix cream cheese, egg and sugar until well blended.

SPOON half the cake batter into 24 paper-lined muffin cups. Top each with about 1-1/2 tsp. cream cheese mixture and 1 cookie; cover with remaining cake batter.

BAKE 19 to 22 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool 5 min.; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.

FROST with COOL WHIP. Top with remaining cookies. Frosted cupcakes can be stored in refrigerator up to 3 days.
