I know that I started a journey of eating healthier and exercising everyday, but still, I have few weakness and I'd love to introduce my friends to it!
Ready? Set....GO!

First on the list: Chocolate Cheerios

I've never been a fan of cheerios, I usually prefer granola cereals, but when they came up with the chocolate ones??? Well, I had to try them and I loved them ever since.

Even better tho, the Dulce de Leche Cheerios: a hint of caramel and infinite goodness!!!

Kellogg's cereal also nailed when they came up with the Chocolate and Double chocolate Krave: like the name says, you will crave them!

Last but no least, chocolate animal crackers......Do I need to say more????

Enjoy these yummies :)

A couple of things that I wanted to share with you, but weren't enough to make a blog post about it, so I thought to combine them here.

First I'd like to invite you all to an auction on Facebook: lots of items for awesome prices, included a couple of items from my shop. Plus, the bidders are entered for a giveaway from Whimsical Wishes that so graciously put the auctions together.
I own a wonderful pair of hoops earrings from Stormy and love them!!

Then I want to thank burunduchok for including me in this Strawberry Treasury on Etsy

2 days ago, my little Michelle had her very first school recital, she was a cute little flower.
When the teacher sent the note home for the costume, I immediately went to dig up my very first ballet tutu that I even wore. I thought, it's pink and it will be perfect! And here it is!

Oh yes, ladies and gentlemen. You're looking at a vintage piece as I was 8 when I got to rock this baby.
My daughter is 5 so I was a little bit shocked that I didn't have to retouch it in any way, not even the shoulder straps! Then I remember that this tutu was already resuscitated once, when my little sister was 5.....but I'm digressing.

My daughter loved the costume and even more so after I told that it was mine and I was proud of her having it now (it's not that I can really wear it anymore you know!).
Still, beside to the emotional attachment, I wasn't really satisfied as it didn't look "flower" enough.

That's when mama go shopping for pretty fabric and gets out the sewing machine!!! Of course, Michelle had to like everything too, so off we went and after some running around, some noisy sewing and a lot of trying on, we got the "flower look" I was aiming for.

A petal finish over skirt with sequin fabric and hand sewn flowers on her neckline and the front of the skirt and she looked just darling for her recital

Maybe I should have added sleeves.....what do you think???

2 Fridays ago I had the honor to participate in another Artfire trading event and in this post, I'm gonna show you the amazing creations I got!
Ready to drool on your keyboards? Ready or not, here it comes!

Summer is coming and what's best that relaxing with some aromatherapy?
I'm gonna use this awesome-smelling candles

I got one scented Hydrangea and the other is summer flowers from EmeraldChandlery

This pocket mirror made from KathyJoKreations will go as a Christmas gift

These awesome earrings from Alisuns instead are all and only for me! Wearing them as I type this!

Then I had the pleasure to treat myself with some nice soaps from Gingers-Garden
Can't wait to try this:

In the meanwhile, I'm enjoying her pina colada lip balm

Last (but no least!) how could I pass up this cupcake gift bag from Sewnfromtheheart????

I'm pretty sure that most of you know about the Mary Kay company and its awesome products.

Just set up my website to accept orders.....who's gonna "pop my cherry"??

Right now, I'm offering free shipping and a free gift with purchase of $40 or more: Mini TimeWise Body™ Targeted-Action® Toning Lotion and Mini TimeWise Body™ Hand and Décolleté Cream Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 15† like the 2 tubes in this set

And if you never tried Mary Kay products before, I suggest to get you a free
sample!

See you there!

Finally here! I worked on my kitchen a little every day during spring break and finally I have it all decorated!

The curtains are made in 3 panels with a valance made out of cupcake fabric matching the pillow covers I got from Sewnfromtheheart a while back and the entire window is covered in black light and sheer knit fabric

Why black, you ask? Well, let's just say that since I don't have a private fence on the back of my house, I caught the neighbor kid picking through the kitchen windows, specially when my kids are doing homework which is appalling and distracting.

The sheer knit material allow us to still see outside, but keep the unwanted lookers out of sight.....(see what I did here??)

We still get plenty of light in the kitchen, plus they offer a wonderful shade in the hot summers. And If I need more light, I made little pulls for them in matching cupcake fabric.

On the other side of the windows I have the back door and I thought this wonderful needle point made especially for me from My1SweetAngel was perfect to decorate it, don't you think?

Now all that was left was to decorate the table, but I didn't have enough material to make a table cloth :/
So, I got thinking and I said to myself: why don't leave the table naked and just decorated it with a table runner?? I think it looks very modern and family was happy about the change.

Still, I have few little fabric scraps and I wonder: what to do, what to do? Experimenting of course! (Up for grabs by the way!)

On the note of the quesadillas from the last post.....I scored this beauty this past week end!

My neighbor from across the street did some spring cleaning too and was donating this machine and is now looking pretty smokin' hot sitting on my kitchen counter......Guess what I had for dinner this past week end??? lol

I know you were hoping to see my brand new cupcake kitchen curtains, but they are not all done yet! Soon tho!

In the meanwhile, I'm having ab last trying out new recipes from Pinterest.
I'm not very good at cooking, I must admit that I'm still learning and experimenting.
Sometimes, the experiments turn out all right, like these self frosted nutella cupcakes

Some other times, I ended up with a burned mess while trying to make brittle in the microwave

And sometimes, even tho I'm very skeptical of my abilities, I end up with something awesome, like this no kneading bread

Then, I start creating my own version of tried recipes like my stuffed pasta shells

or chicken quesadilla

Made you hungry yet??

Thank you very much to all that entered to Kim's giveaway for the Crocheted Spa Set!

Congrats Stephanie!!! Please get in touch with Kim in the next 72 hours to claim your prize :)

I got not one, but 2 blog awards recently and as the slob I am, I forgot to blog about them, so let me fix that.

I want to thank Kayla from The Eclectic Element for award them to me and apologize for being soooo late!

What I have to do: Name one thing that you love about yourself, then pass on the award to as many bloggers as you want to!
