Obsessions

Candles and plants. 
They both bring so much beauty, and that's why I'm obsessed with them. Candles make everything smell nice and give the room just a great aroma. Plants look beautiful and they're something you can care for and see grow. For the past year or so, I have been on a buying binge of both.

Here is my collection:

(And to be honest, this isn't even half of my candles.. 
I'm a bit embarrassed to show you how many I really have) 

Some of my absolute favorites include:
Birthday Cake
(Marshall's)

Pomelo Grapefruit
(Bath&Body works)

Island Pineapple
(Ace hardware or amazon) 

Champagne Toast
This candle is my favorite of all time.
They discontinued it so I went to a bunch of different stores and bought every last one.

A new beginning

Okay, so, I've had a blog like a million times before but it's time for me to make one and actually stick to it! (That probably won't happen). Let me specify; I have a photo blog, but I want a blog I can post to daily and ramble on about my opinions on! I highly doubt this will get any visitors, but if you are reading this, hi, hello!

Okay so let me get into it. I quit college a few months back (it was awful, I don't even want to get into it right now) and work has been slow lately so I've had a lot of free time. So in my spare time I've been learning how to cook anything and everything. You guys, Pinterest is your FRIEND when it comes to cooking. I think the reason I've fallen in love with baking is because it's creative, it's like creating art on a plate.

Here's some things I've made in the past few weeks

Lemon & strawberry poppy seed cake


Croissant pizza bites
 Lucky Charm rice krispy treats!
(these are incredible, MAKE THEM)


 Homemade cinnamon rolls



Homemade waffles w/ fruit & bacon
