Three Things I'm Loving Right Now

Sorry I have been MIA for the past couple of weeks.  With visitors, and C's graduation it's been very busy.  I should be back on track next week.  Until then, here are three things I'm loving right now.
Gelato from Central Market.  Because I need to get my taste buds ready for an Italy trip this fall.

Mia (kinda) learning how to swim.  Because, minus my weird man laugh, you can't help but smile.
Neon nail polish.  Because, well, do I need a reason?

Hope you all have a great week!

Trailer Cakes - Richardson, Texas


Unbeknown to me, there's a cupcake shop in C's apartment complex.  Via twitter @trailercakes I found out it's located in the bottom of an office building within walking distance of where he lives.  I had been passing it for months, and hadn't even noticed.  Am I disappointed in all of the cupcakes I could have been partaking in all this time? You betchya.
One Friday, my sweet tooth got the best of me and I was able to stop before they closed for the week to pick up some weekend treats for C and I do to a cupcake tasting.  Similar to a wine tasting, but well, better.  I picked out three different cakes, and dug in!
I will say, the attention to detail was very nice to see.  The to-go box I was given was decorated very cutely with their logo, as well as this bit of advise inside.
First cupcake: peanut butter and jelly, with an added peanut butter cookie.
Second cupcake: red velvet cake, so hard to resist as it's one of my favorite flavors anywhere.
Third cupcake: Chocolate peanut butter, with a chocolate grenache and a Mini-Reese's on top.  Chocolate + peanut butter = always a great option.
The middle of the peanut butter and jelly one was pretty awesome.
I think my favorite was the red-velvet.  It had the perfect amount of frosting, and it was delicious.  All of the flavors were great, and there are many more options I would like to try!  Take a look at their site here, they offer a wide, unique variety.  I will be heading back for sure!  Next time I might not share with C ;)

Happy Friday everyone, have a fabulous weekend!

Three Things I'm Loving Right Now


In an effort to keep giving you new material to read every week, I thought every once and a while I'll post about things I'm really loving right now!  One of my favorite bloggers, Emily at Cupcakes and Cashmere, does this on Fridays, and always has very inspiring, beautiful things.  As an example, that's what I'm aspiring this to be!
1.  Fifty Shades of Grey.  Because honestly, I can't help but fall into the masses that love these books.  Don't judge me until you're through chapter 4 and can't put it down.
2.  Trail mix.  Because the bulk section at Whole Foods must be taken advantage of.
3.  Florence and the Machine.  Because I went to her concert last week, and her voice was beyond amazing.

Weekend's almost here!
