Vanilla Cupcakes!

On Saturday I wanted to make cupcakes, I knew I wanted it to be vanilla cause I havn't made vanilla cupcakes before! So when I found a recipe, I followed it and when I finished mixing ALL the ingredients together I decided to put food coloring as well. I only had 3 colors left, blue, green, and yellow. So I separated them in 3 bowls and in each one put a different mix of color.
Well at the end it felt like Earth Day cupcakes to me (which I didn't plan on).
Here is a link to the Vanilla Cupcake Recipe
  I didn't add the vanilla bean. First of all I didn't add it cause I didn't have it, and I felt like it was for the look, which I didn't care much about.
 It also called for greek yogurt, but I put sour cream instead.
Instead of heavy cream, it said you can put half & half, so I did because we didn't have any heavy cream.
Comment if you do this recipe!
{P.S I added some fondant}


See, it looks like Earth Day!

Added some fondant

Now that I think of it, I should've added food coloring to the frosting too ;)


The finished product!

Burlington Haul

Today my family and I went to the plaza, had Panera, walked around and asked my dad if we could go to Burlington! So I went in looking for a dress, but most of them were short and too open. So we walked around even more and I saw shoes tried the on and found one, so I got it! It was only $13.00!! (shown under)
   Then after I looked at the sale section and found MANY things! But only got 3 of them that I actually thought looked good on me. So here is what I got!
A purple and navy blue maxi skirt! My first maxi skirt ever! This one was $15.00
A beautiful orange skirt that has a little shimmer, but I can't tell in this picture. This one was $15.00

I ALMOST FAINTED when I found this! I needed to have it and it luckily fit! So cute!! It was $11.00! What a bargain!

{sorry for poor quality, I used my phone cause I was so excited about telling you guys!}
