Sweet Escape

"Take me away, a secret place, a sweet escape. Take me away to better days. Take me away, a hiding place." ♪♫♪

Obsession

So I've noticed that women, ok not ONLY women but also just anyone and everyone that succumbs to the handbag shopping disease, are attracted to the increasingly famous brand, Coach. Whether it's night or day, Black Friday or not, it's ALWAYS crowded. I've been to the outlet stores (where they are usually cheaper where you can find things around $100-$300) a few times and people actually fight for it. They will literally grab 3 to 6 purses while already using a Coach purse themselves. I personally don't think most of the purses are worth that much. If it weren't for those giant C's, it would probably be worth $5. The common ones that most middle class people prance around with are not that unique. Just like the unfortunate popularity of the Vera Bradley purses and bags, Coach is just the same. But don't get me wrong, i am not totally against Coach. Some of their products, usually higher priced purses, are quite shall i say "pretty?". Overall, i just find such brands are just overly priced, considering they are not even silk or leather or any fancy materials, and the overpricing is just the product of consumer obsession. 

Camping with Friends!

I went "camping" with my friends at a nearby lake (yes that is a lake). It was pretty amazing and i can still smell the grilled food.

Happy Father's Day!!

Well, it's been a while since i've posted and today is Father's Day so i decided to attempt a new post. I just wanted to say Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there! I hope everyone had a wonderful day and a wonderful time. Even if your dad isn't with you, you know you're always going to be in his heart and he's thinking about you and loves you. Anyways, rejoice the sunshine, well at least here in Texas, and live your life! Toodles :)

Take Me Back to the Past

I'm actually a bit of a baking/decorating fanatic.

This is a chocolate mousse cake i made with pocky sticks.

On the left, this is my coconut cream pie.

On the right, this is a 3 tier fondant cake with vines and roses from folded streamers.

People are Onions

When you think about it, people can be compared to onions. Like onions, you discover new traits when you peel back the layers. Sometimes it's positive but sometimes it's negative and like onions, makes you cry a little. Everyone has different personalities based on where they are and who they are with. Although it's sad to admit but people are not who they seem to be, which relates to the quote "don't judge a book by it's cover". It can be read as even if someone seems nice, they could be a criminal and the opposite. A nice cover could surround an evil inside but at the same time, a less appealing cover could surround a beautiful soul. It's impossible to just tell exactly how someone is without experimenting a little and even if it's a bad experience, at least you've learned.
