I’M MY OWN BEAUTICIAN

"Who did your hair?" "How do you have the patience for all of that?" "My homegirl can do your hair, let me put you on." Like most women, I've had my fair share of bad hair days, ugly hair stages, and terrible beauticians. And THAT my friends, is why I choose to do my own hair. I mean, who knows what you want better than you? Yeah, you might end up looking like the Great Value version of the girl who's hair tutorial you were following on YouTube, but at least you're not broke AND looking like trash. That's the worst.

I will take a cupcake over an actual slice of cake any day. I just feel like all cakes tastes better in the cupcake form. And they're just so little and cute! I LOVE little things. Little cakes, little bottles of water, little cans of soda (yes soda, not pop), little bottles of dressing, little babies... just... anything little, okay? Except little money and little men. I'm 5'8. No thanks, homie. So, one weekend, I was bored and craving a cupcake. It was a nice day so I went out cupcake hopping. I enjoyed myself so much, that I decided to make this a thing and share my experiences with you. Cupcake Hopping: Much like club hopping or bar ho
