Okay, so I can't claim that title. Ever since I found the amazing Baked Perfection blog, I've been inspired to make so many different kinds of cupcakes. She's brilliant! I've used her recipes as a template, and created my own take on some of her amazing cupcakes. Like the Chocolate-raspberry with raspberry icing. And lemon cupcakes. I modified a recipe I found for coffee cake (literally) into coffee cupcakes with coffee buttercream icing. Oh, so so so SO GOOD. My family, friends, neighbors and school admissions counselor have been on the receiving end of my crazy baking urges. I may have a new addiction, since I never baked much. My greatest baking triumph was always the Chocolate Ganache Caramel torte, but now I've got a wider repertoire! Next in line are Chocolate cupcakes with Peanut Butter icing and Fried Banana topping. Drooling just thinking about it....

New Goodies! (also known as, Happy Ari)
I'm so excited! I just tracked two packages I've been IMPATIENTLY waiting on UPS to deliver, ahem, and they just arrived! Augh! I'm ready to fly out of work today and caress my new babies.
First off, for my birthday two weeks ago, my aunt sent me an Amazon gift card that was loaded and ready for firing. I immediately jumped onto my account, searched my wishlist for what joyous item I couldn't wait one more second for, and checked out.
The cutest boots I've been craving for like, months, especially so through the cold snap, were RocketDog's Women's Slinger boots. I have approximately 5 bajillion brown boots, but only two black boots (Luchiny's and badass biker ones) so of course I had to get the blackies. But, alas and woe!, they were out of my size! NO! Easy fix: order a half size up, Ari, duh.
And so I did, and I cannot wait to wear them!!!
The other indulgence, Xhilaration black Lame Leggings. I probably do have an unhealthy adoration of black clothing items, especially shiny and tight items, but I could not stop myself! They look like skintight leather pants, which I would kill for SO BAD. Deep inside my nerdy, bookworm self lives the spirit of a rebellious hellion biker babe.
True story.
When I get home, I'm wearing them RIGHT AWAY. Even if all I do is prance around and squeal like a schoolgirl.
