Ballerina Past Life? Saturday, December 6 |

Sometimes I swear I had to be a ballerina in a past life. I wish my parents had let me keep attending lessons when I was little. I used to love it. This skirt I wore Wednesday reminds me of something a ballerina might wear. Hence some of the poses. The rest I attribute to a lack of sleep and brain cell leakage. And over the Thanksgiving holiday, I got my eyebrows threaded. I'm still getting accustomed to the slight change.

Before I assault you with more pictures (outfit post from Thanksgiving Eve), I wanted to just say thank you to Anna, Mary, Saorise, Andrea, and Nadine for commenting. I love what you guys embody and it's a treat to see people that I aspire to leaving me such sweet comments. You're all amazing. And regarding the musical auditions, I'm in, and my part is "Servant". As they say...there are no small roles, only small actors. (Obviously they got all the leads). Really though, I'm quite excited for the wild ride that is musical theater.

Hacer Galletas con Mini |

Here is my overdue baking post from that week that I made Gingerbread cookies. It's so long ago I don't even know the date. So now without further ado, here's the first segment of Baking with Mini:

Step 1: Don a cute apron and some funky shoes and take awkward pictures in your kitchen. Then quickly remove funky shoes. (Sorry to disappoint, but I don't actually bake in those.)

Step 2: Assemble the brat pack (aka: your ingredients). That time I chose to bake out of a box, but the next time I made cookies they were from scratch. In the end, the decision is yours!

Step 3: Spice it up a little. Cinnamon is my go-to spice when I feel like my baking is missing a little extra something. You can get the fresh grateable kind or the powdered kind. I used both.



Step 4: Mix away!!!


Step 5: Grab your cookie cutters and make a man (or a woman) out of that cookie dough!

Step 6: Prepare them for baking. (P.S. don't use wax paper. THEY WILL BURN!!!)


Step 7: Get your baking groove on! (I prefer old school Frank Sinatra albums, but to each his own.)


Step 8: Take out your fantastic cookies and give them personalities with your icing! (Yes, I am aware that some of my cookies are a little avante garde. That's what happens when you get lazy with the last couple.)


And there you have it! A beautiful and unique batch of cookies a la Mini.

Uh...

Sorry about the awkward silence but things have been busy and blogging requires time. I have plenty of pictures to share and other exciting things. A real post should be coming up soon! Sorry about the wait!
