The 10 Cupcakes You Need Right Now In Your Life
Life tastes good

Let's be honest here–we all love a good cupcake. Cupcakes are life. Back in my high school days, I would bake a batch of cupcakes nearly every week. Everyone would always pester me for a cupcake or two, and sometimes people would steal my cupcake containers. Let's not dwell on that, though. I even wrote a recipe book on cupcakes for my senior project. So, I can sort of say that I am a published author, even though I only sold one copy. Thanks, Mom. Everyone loves a good standard vanilla or chocolate cupcake, but sometimes, it's good to be bold and try something new. So here are some drool-worthy cupcakes that you should make, or get someone with some mad baking skills to make for you.

1. Guinness Cupcakes

I know, I know. Guinness in the form of a cupcake. If you aren't a lover of Guinness, you would think it would be nasty, but you are absolutely wrong. It is delicious and by far my favorite cupcake to make and eat. Reasoning why it is so delicious is because Guinness and chocolate are a match made in heaven. These are perfect for St. Patrick's Day or if you just really love Guinness as much as me and want to enjoy this heavenly combo. Deliciousness awaits you.

2. Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

Looks can be deceiving, but these taste absolutely delicious. These are actually pretty easy to make, so if you aren't necessarily a great baker, you can't really do anything bad or crazy to mess these up.

They are perfect for a summer party and if you want to be bold, add in some ice cream. Summertime awaits you right here.

3. Wine Cupcakes

Yeah. You read that right. Wine cupcakes. That little bit of wine you have leftover can now be put to good use! This recipe calls for Zinfandel because it pairs well with chocolate. Make sure if you use a different wine that you pair it with something it goes well with. Nobody likes a bad pairing.

These are perfect for a ladies night or even a "Scandal" viewing party. Wine about it here.

4. Tiramisu Cupcakes

Drool. Look at how delicious they look. This recipe looks complex but read it closely, and it is actually pretty simple.These cupcakes are perfect for a nice Italian dinner night. Drool some more here.

5. Churro Cupcakes

Drool again. You are probably licking the screen about now, aren't you? Me too. Me too.

These are the perfect cupcakes for a Cinco de Mayo party or if you are a Churro lover. Churro on over here.

6. Banana Walnut Cupcakes

Don't know what to do with your bananas that are about to go bad? Well, mash them for these splendid cupcakes. Warning, there are walnuts in these cupcakes so if allergic, don't eat them or just remove them from the recipe. These are perfect for a nice fall day. Fall about it here.

7. Pink Lemonade Cupcakes

It's a piggy cupcake! Aw. Wait–it's a pink lemonade cupcake?! YUM. Seriously, that piggy is so cute it would be difficult to eat because of its cuteness. These are perfect for a kid's party or even a hot summer day. Squeal about it here.

8. Pumpkin Cupcakes

Can't get enough of pumpkin flavors this fall? Well here is a pumpkin cupcake to soothe your pumpkin soul. These are perfect for a Halloween party or if you are a pumpkin addict. Pumpkin spice your life right here.

9. Chocolate Cupcakes with Nutella–Kahlua Ganache and Ferrero Roche


Chocolate. Nutella. Ferrero Roche. You'll need life alert for these puppies. These are perfect for anytime of the year or day because of Nutella. Life Alert is here.

10. Margarita Cupcakes

Yup. These are Margarita cupcakes. Plus this recipe is Vegan-friendly! You can omit the tequila if you so desire. These are perfect for everyday if I'm being honest. Spice up your life here.


Happy Baking!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
