Present DIY: Mugcake

So I understand that this is staged fall instead of Christmas, but I made this and took the pictures before my anniversary in October! Sadly, very few people have holidays in October, so I decided to hold on to the pictures until Christmas when it could actually be useful!

Aaaaanyway, this is my version of an easy double chocolate mug cake!  This is an easy present you could make for someone in no time for under $5.  If you gave them this and a nice mug that would be an awesome present!


What you will need:
  • Angel Food Cake Mix
  • Devil's Food Cake Mix (Or any flavor really! This is up to you as long as you have the Angel Food in there)
  • Chocolate Chips (Optional)
  • Pretty Container 

From this point it's pretty easy!  Just mix a full box of angel food with a full box of devil's food, add as many chocolate chips as you want, and you are done!  Because this isn't a super dense cake, the chocolate chips will fall to the bottom giving it a chocolate lava cake kind of consistency; if you don't want that then leave them out!  

Now you need to package it!  I bought this plastic clear container at the Dollar Tree, it doesn't get much easier than that!  A mason jar would also be super cute.  After putting it in something you can decorate it as much or as little as you want.  I added a little bit of red sparkly washi tape, and a chalkboard label on the front with the name and on the back with the directions.


Now, about the directions.  To get the perfect consistency you have to mix it a certain way, and it doesn't get much more simple than this... 

Directions:
3 Tbsp of Mix
2 Tbsp of Water
1 Minute in the Microwave



And that is it!  Super simple right? 

________________________________________________________________

Now let's talk a minute, I am home for Christmas break for almost a month and a half!  So, hopefully during that time I am going to return to posting on both Saturday and Wednesday for fun!  Also, after Christmas I plan to FINALLY get up my Disney blogs for a little bit of summer fun in the winter!  Even though most of the writing is done, putting together something like that is a huge time commitment, and that is time I just don't have during the semester, so I thought during winter break would be the perfect time!  So in the the next month you can look forward to hauls, present ideas, maybe something birthday related, Disney, and of course more subscription boxes! 
Hope you all enjoy!

Ipsy: June

So guys... I resubscribed to Ipsy!  Since I was back to having a summer job I figured I could spare $10 a month!  And so far, this bag wasn't the best, but I updated my profile so it will take a minute for them to readapt. The bag this month though... It is on my swap site on MySubscriptionAddiction if you want it!  Needless to say, I wasn't impressed. This is the Kokie nail polish in the color Gone Rio.  I hadn't ever heard of this brand before, but the packaging is adorable!  Apparently you can buy it at Walmart for around $5.  The color is a really nice orange-y coral and it has a decent lasting power considering how rough I am on my nails!  Overall I liked it and I would buy from this brand again. This is the City Color Shimmer Shadow in the color Cheers to Life.  It is a pretty basic sandy brown with a ton of shimmer, obviously!  City Color isn't my favorite brand to get because it is fairly cheap and the products are ki...

Influenster "Something Blue" Vox Box!

When I came back from vacation I discovered that I had received this package from Influenster called the "Something Blue" Vox Box. I was so excited!! Influenster is this site that you sign up for, you review products and take surveys and then if you qualify they will send you these products totally for free! The first thing I saw when I opened my box was a ton of papers. I got a catalog for My Trio Rings. A Influenster Card explainind what was in the box. And everEZlashes coupon, and a few more. Now lets get into it! :) The first product I got in my box was the Luster Now! Instant Whitening Toothpaste (valued at $7.99). It smells very minty, which is a good quality for a toothpaste ;) I am using a Crest Whitening Toothpaste right now, and I'm not seeing any huge results so I am very excited to try this one and see if it works better! The next thing I pulled out of the box was the Q-TIPs Precision Tips (valued between $2.59 and $3....
