Sam Smith

I had Brandon download Sam Smith’s album for me since it’s not yet released here in the US and I couldn’t wait any longer. Trust me, I will be purchasing his album once it is released since he deserves everything he gets.

His voice gives me shivers and he seems like a genuine guy. Plus, Daisy Lowe is his girl, and everyone knows how much I love her.

If you want proof of how phenomenal he is, just watch his cover of “How Will I Know” by Whitney Houston.

CHILLS.

Se7en Cupcakes and Martinis

Nobody loves cupcakes more than yours truly. I love making them, I love smelling them, I love looking at them and I especially love eating them. When I heard that there was going to be a cupcake bar opening right down the street from me, I knew I had to go immediately!

Se7en Cupcakes and Martinis concept is almost quite self explanatory by the title of their restaurant: 7 cupcakes and 7 martinis named after the 7 deadly sins. 

Lust: Red velvet martini/cupcake

Gluttony: Salted caramel martini/cupcake

Sloth: Lemon martini/cupcake

Wrath: Chocolate martini/cupcake

Envy: Strawberry martini/cupcake

Pride: Birthday cake martini/cupcake

I went with a friend on a Friday night after work and was extremely surprised to see only a handful of people surrounding the bar or sitting. As I know it is a new restaurant, maybe enough people don’t know it exists yet. I hope so, because as soon as people taste these cupcakes, the place will be hopping. I had both a Wrath martini and cupcake. I’m a chocolate girl by nature and if there is chocolate on the menu, I refuse to pass it up. 

My friend indulged in lust since we’re both lacking a little love in our lives and both cupcakes were divine. The icing delicious, but the cake a tad dry since it was so late in the day. I’m thinking they may have been sitting out for a good portion of the day. If we had come earlier, I’m sure they would have been beautifully moist (god, I hate that word but it’s the only one I could think of using!). 

As more people discover this place, I’m sure there will be a line out the door to get their hands on those cupcakes and sin all night.

Inspiration

I think being creative takes a lot of energy to have, and it also takes a lot of energy out of you. Energy is something that I am severely lacking in at the moment, between work and my internship and trying to hang out with friends and family, by the time I have a spare moment, I'm so tired.

One of my main goals this year is to get my main blog up and running, with a proper domain and keep it updated on a weekly basis. Writing that down makes it seem like an easy thing to do, but when life is thrown into the mix it becomes something that I have to force myself to do at the end of the day. I've noticed that I haven't even been keeping a personal journal in months, which saddens me. Writing is my biggest passion and I'm constantly disappointing myself by not doing it more often.

I used to write everyday and now it's on the rare occasion that I have this intense urge to put pen to paper.

Promises to myself need to be kept and I promise that I will keep this more updated. If only to keep me sane.
