Father’s Day is a great way to show your appreciate for all the Daddies out there!  And what to men love most? Eating of course!  But you have to keep your Dad in mind.. what would be his ultimate party?  Here are a few appetizers that scream “Dad!” Also, check out my post for Tee-time cupcakes: http://wp.me/p1o7vT-8e

Steak, shrimp & veggie kebobs on the grill

Root beer floats. Root Beer&vanilla icecream. A classic.

 

This past weekend was my Bridal Shower.  It was spectacular from the food, to the entertainment, and of course the people.  It was a great event and I thank everyone who was involved, including my mom, my bridesmaids, friends, and family.  I just wanted to share some of my favorite photos that my photography Lizz Riley took from 5 Diamonds Photography.

I love cool nail designs- I just never have the artistic ability to pull them off.  And salons charge an arm & a leg for nail designs.  So when I heard about Sally Hansen Nail Strips, I had to try them.  I was a bit skeptical at first but they came out amazing!  I got them at Target for around $8 and it literally took me only 15 minutes to do.  All you do is make sure your nails are polish, oil-free, & dry and simple find the strips that fit your nail, file down the excess strip, and voila- you have beautiful, crazy, fun nail designs.

Also… don’t forget today is the LAST day to enter the Candy Stilettos CUPCAKE CONTEST! Like us on facebook and upload a pic of your best cupcake and you can win an all-inclusive baking kit!

*I decided to go with the fun floral design*

*What a fun combo.. Hound’s tooth & bright pink*

*Glitter is always in style*

{So I would say overall, this is a great product and a great alternative to a professional nail design.  I just put them on yesterday so I will keep you posted on how long they last. xoxo}

Here’s what we got so far, which do y’all think is the best so far?

Spider cake- doesn’t quite qualify but had to share because it’s awesome!

Cookie Monster cupcakes.. so much fun!  And a cookie & a cupcake?  I’m in.

Meatball & spaghetti cupcakes.. so much fun!

Cupcake Minis.. bite size treats 🙂

I absolutely LOVE cupcakes.  They are so happy, flirty, and fun.  They are way easier than baking a cake and way easier to decorate as well.  This weekend is my bridal shower and of course it will involve a variety of delicious, pretty cupcakes.  All of my bridesmaids are making fun flavors to bring for dessert.  I can’t wait to see what they come up with.  So, dolls, I want to get YOUR best cupcake pictures.  It has to be cupcakes that YOU have made within the last year.

Judging: Since I can’t taste the cupcakes, this contest will purely be based on visual preparation/decoration of the cupcake, creativity and presentation.  I will NOT judge you based on the quality of your photo so don’t worry if you don’t have a great camera. 

Winner will receive a cupcake decorating kit with all of the works, baking cups, fun sprinkles/decorations/frosting decorators, and more!
