the one where i get a feather

i don't by any means consider myself to be a trend follower but this time - they sucked me in. i have always loved the idea of playing around with my hair and used to loveee the idea of putting crazy colored streaks in it but i never followed through with it in fear that someone might think i was a little looney. so i finally decided to do something a little out of the ordinary and put feathers in my hair! i have been seeing them all around lately and love the natural look with a little bit of an edge. i'm lucky that in my job i don't have to worry about looking super prim and proper ( yay for being a creative! ). i have 4 thin feathers in my hair including black, burgundy, olive grizzly, and white grizzly. i love how fun they look! who knows how long the fad will last but they make me feel a little adventurous. you can really only see the white grizzly in the picture but i wanted them to be pretty subtle.

the next trend i've been loving but most definitely too chicken to try is the rainbow colored hair tips. super funky but a little too permanent for me as well.

one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish

yesterday was my grandpa's 91st birthday and i decided to celebrate by making him fish cupcakes! he is both a farmer and a fisherman so he thoroughly enjoyed the fishies. i apparently have a thing for making animal cupcakes having made both pigs and pandas in the past for different friends! who know's what i'll bake up next :)

who put my stapler in the jello again?

i'm back to baking and this time i made something a little more comical :) anyone a fan of the office? dwight is one of the strangest and funniest characters on tv and i thought it would be funny to make him into a yummy treat. so i celebrated matt's birthday by making him dwight schrute cake pops! he's on a oreo dirt cake with some cake pop beets!
