Guys! I just ordered our anniversary cake to be picked up on Saturday. Every year we get a small cake from the bakery that made our wedding cake, in the same colors and flavors. It is SOOOOOOOOO delicious. I would literally eat this cake every single day of my life and never get sick of it, though I would probably weigh 400 pounds. It's probably a good thing that the bakery isn't very close to our house and we only get this cake once a year.

Anyway, I can't wait to eat it in 4 days!

What flavors? Did I miss this? Yum cake!

Layers of banana and chocolate cake with walnut cream filling and buttercream frosting.

Haha, true that. I'm just sick of dealing with entitled customers. I can't take a day off or leave early without someone bitching about it or expecting an explanation. Sorry I don't live at the shop! I have a life too. Sort of.

Customer: I called the shop all day yesterday and there was no answerrrrrr!!!!!!1!!

Me: I'm sorry. What's your tattoo emergency?

[icedtea]

ceejay, that sounds incredible.

lilsneezy, I both feel for you, and am dying at "tattoo emergency."

Speaking of tattoos, my little sister is getting her first one in a week!

What time should I be there?

I'm trying to be an adult and figure out a skincare routine. Problem is, I'm cheap. I don't have problem skin, per say, but I feel like my face isn't amazing and I almost always have two or three blemishes I'm fighting.

My fb feed is full of Rodan and Fields pictures, but I don't want to drop that kind of cash on face wash.

Face wash, toner and moisturizer are the best place to start. If you aren't usin anything currently I would just go to target and get fairly basic products

I have those! But I'm wondering if they could be improved upon. I'm thinking my moisturizer is too heavy and I also want to add in an exfoliating step somewhere.

I love Mary Kay's botanical line and their skinovate brush

I like Burt's Bees. The moisturizer I use is pretty light.

I have a bunch of fancy moisturizers but I still prefer coconut oil. I even use it to wash my face and take my makeup off. I lurve it!

Oh, I usually like Burt's Bees. Thanks for the recommendation!

The paw print of our family dog that died last year, and the nose print of the dog they currently have. She is very close with the animals. My dad is obsessed with the dogs, so she plans on surprising him with the tattoo(s) to make him cry. lol

[lilsneezy]

If I had to choose ONE skincare product, it would be Proactiv. I've been using it for at least 10 years and it's the only thing that keeps me from having breakouts. It's expensive but totally worth it.

[icedtea]

While we're talking skincare, I've made this scrub for Christmas a couple years in a row. It's super easy and has been a big hit.

I love the nose print idea!! I've seen paw prints done a billion times but I've never seen a nose print tattoo. Good for her for being original!

Ooooh I really want to make my own salt/sugar scrub! I have a couple recipes pinned but I've never seen a gingerbread scrub before. How long is it good for? I'm scared of making someone a homemade scrub and then it growing mold a few days later.

This one is good for ~2-3 months. It doesn't get moldy (I've let it go longer), but the brown sugar starts to dissolve. 

[icedtea]

I also really liked how this lotion came out. It lasts ~6-12mo if you store it at room temperature.
