Hot Babes Bakery.

Baking is one of the things that gets me through this cra-zy time in my life.

As well as blogging, journaling, reading, and blasting music in my car.

Hopefully things get easier. Life's too short to be stuck in limbo.

I wonder how long it'll be before I get my head above water. I seem to struggle with this more than most people. All the changes, finding myself, what I stand for and what I live for.
I'm often easily influenced by others and am trying to figure out what I want in life without limiting myself from new experiences.
I suppose this is what life is - a learning process.
Sometimes the strength I once possessed in some situations is tested.

Black Out Days

Hide the sun
I will leave your face out of my mind
You should save your eyes
A thousand voices howling in my head

Speak in tongues
I don’t even recognize your face
Riddle on the wall
Tell me all the ways to stay away

Ey ey ey ah
Away ey ah
Away ey ah
And stay

In the new place enjoying a cup of hot jasmine pearls before a busy evening.

I say "hell yes"

I will be your valentine, Britni!

you're one of the best!

Good, God.

Lessons from my seventeen year old self

When I was sixteen and seventeen, I journaled a lot. Mostly this was used venting out my teenage angst or gushing about a first date or wondering what my future will be like. To this day I'm still glad I wrote so often. I like to look back and read my journals because they remind me of how much I have changed, as well as how I haven't. Some things I've learned are:

How you treat others is usually a direct reflection of how you feel about yourself. It took a long time to figure this out.

If something doesn't feel right, it's not

You shouldn't have to work so hard on relationships. If they don't come easily, they might not be right for you.

Sleep for eight hours!!

Wear colorful flats

Take lots of trips, travel often. Its makes you richer. Don't become complacent in life.

Scarves are one of the best accessories.

Give gifts to others, just because. Even hand written cards and letters can make someone's week.

Sometimes your family doesn't know what's best for you or treat you like you should be treated. It's important to surround yourself with positive people who bring out the best in you.

Marriage isn't for everybody. If you can't see it in your future, it's okay if it's not for you.

Gizmo and Hillary. She is drinking her aphroTEAsiac...get it? 

I am so addicted to these Dutch honey waffles. They're slightly crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside. They're meant to be eaten with tea. The heat from the tea is supposed to warm the insides, making them soft and chewy.

You can buy them at Brits in Lawrence, KS or at World Market


SO GOOD.
