Spring Bento Box Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Spring Bento Box Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Posted on by Jupiter

Every month, Amelia and I carve out some time to do a cupcake class. We’ve been doing this for well over a year now. It’s just such a lovely way to have one-on-one time with Amelia, and alongside that, we’ve become friends with a lot of the other regulars there and love doing little updates on our lives. Sweet Designs by Jennie is always creating new classes and designs, so there is always something new for us to look forward to creating. This was doubly so when she announced her new Bento Box Cupcake Classes, which have a few cupcakes along with a mini-cake within the box that we also got to decorate. This one was the Spring Bento Box Cupcake Class!

Golf and Soft Serve at Hillbilly Fun Park

Golf and Soft Serve at Hillbilly Fun Park

Posted on by Jupiter

I swear I have been eating ice cream at Hillbilly Fun Park since I was quite young. They have this custard-based soft server that I just very much enjoy, and there is always plenty of rainbow sprinkles! While Dann and I were visiting my family in upstate New York, I mentioned to my grandfather, Tyde, that we wanted to go for soft serve, so he picked us up and took us there. I got myself an orange twist, and Tyde said “want to play some mini-golf?” As it was a hot day, of course we did.

[Ad- gifted product] Being a teenager is such an emotional and difficult time. Everyone is a teenager once, but it’s just a strange place to navigate. When it comes to teenagers and jewellery, it can be difficult to find something that works for teenagers, while not being too mature or lame, and still being affordable. The Jewellery For Teens website has cracked the code, with a variety of different accessories, organised by age, so that you can more easily find a little gift or reward for your child. Amelia picked out the Shooting Star Sterling Silver Ring, which is absolutely stunning.

The Sims YaGoBuGi Card Game - Silly Voices!

The Sims YaGoBuGi Card Game – Silly Voices!

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad – Gifted Products] I am a big fan of The Sims and have been for quite some time! If you are a fan of any of The Sims games, you’ll know that the characters in the game don’t speak English and instead speak Simlish. It’s just a part of the game and culture around the game. The Sims YaGoBuGi Card Game is a silly take on the language, having you use cards to create non-sense words that sound like they are out of The Sims.

Dinner at Chicos Leyton

Dinner at Chicos Leyton

Posted on by Jupiter

One evening, we didn’t have much going on, so Dann took me out to Chicos in Leyton. The week before, we went to Dave’s Hot Chicken with a friend of ours, where I was sure they had these Nashville mozzarella sticks that I have always wanted to try. In England, however, they do not have them on the menu. I had been craving them since, so Dann started looking up how to find them, and Chicos appeared! Chicos is a sort of Instagramable place to eat, with a lot of casual food like loaded fries, mozzarella sticks, and sandwiches. We went one evening right afterwards.

Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks and Buffalo Chicken Tenders

Of course, they had the Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks, which are massive rectangles of mozzarella, coated and deep-fried. Then, they put this spicy powder on it. It’s just such a spicy, delicious thing! The Nashville Hot Mozzarella came with a ranch, which felt very American, and tasted good too. I liked these a lot and it really fit my craving. I do feel they could have used more of the chili oil that they are meant to have on them, as they were dry, but it was fine. Whenever Dann and I see buffalo chicken on the menu, we have to try it. The buffalo chicken tenders at Chicos were very good. I am extremely picky with buffalo sauce and this buffalo sauce was so good we ordered a second plate of chicken tenders. It was just so good.
