diy: cereal box drawer dividers

This post is a "diy"-post. (For the ones who don't know what that means, it's a abbreviation for "do it yourself".) So this is a short diy-tutorial I made for you.
I thought that you don't need a description to understand it, but if you do just ask!

The boxes are perfect for those who don't know where to put all of their pencils (etc.) or just want their desk to be a little organised or tidy. I think it's very practical because you have one place for everything so you don't have to look for a pencil every single time you need one and they look cute and you can decorate them in so many ways. Hope you like it! ♥

cupcakes

Everyone likes cupcakes or at least the way they look like, right?
But not everyone knows a good recipe, so here's one for you that I found in an american cupcake book - I love that recipe so much! It doesn't take long and is so easy!

They are just so fluffy and taste a little like vanilla. ♥

(You can buy the book here if you like the recipe --> 500 Cupcakes)

think pink cupcakes


for the cupcakes:

1 cup (2 sticks) sweet butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar 
2 cups cake flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
4 large eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla extract

for the frosting:

3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 cup (2 sticks) sweet butter, softened
Pinch of salt
(Pink food coloring)
(Silver candy balls)

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place 18 paper baking cups in muffin pans. Combine all the cupcake ingredients in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and pale, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Spoon the butter into the cups. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove pans from fromm the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Then remove the cupcakes and cool on a rack.  

To make the frosting, cream the confectioners' sugar, butter, and salt with an electric mixer until smooth. (Add a few drops of food coloring, and mix well.) Spread the frosting liberally onto the cooled cupcakes (and sprinkle with silver balls).

Store unfrosted in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

That's one of the many cupcakes I made

I hope you try and like it as much as I do! ♥

perfect lip care

Do you want to have soft lips but don't really know what's the best lip balm?

Then you should check out Baby Lips® - Lip Balm By Maybelline!
I just totally love that stuff! I have two of them, "Cherry me (015)" and "Quenched (005)". 
It depends on what kind of tastes you like but they all taste so good - I don't know how I could live without them all the years before!
My lips have never been that soft!
They also colourize your lips a little, but not too much.
That's perfect for every situation, also for school for sure.

I think you should try them and convince yourself ♥
