Easiest Lemon Cookies Everrr!

Just made these delicious Lemon cookies from Gimme Some Oven. Of course I picked them because a) I wanted something "healthy" (p.s. they aren't) and b) they are super duper easy. They start out as cake mix and end up as cookies. WIN.

Find the recipe here, or read below.

All you need is...

-1 package lemon cake mix (I used Duncan Hines)

-2 eggs

-1/3 cup vegetable oil

-juice of half a lemon (about 1 Tbsp.)

-zest of half a lemon (about 1 tsp.)

-1/3 cup powdered sugar for decor (optional)

Then...

Preheat oven to 375 degrees- Pour cake mix into a large bowl & stir in eggs, oil, lemon juice & zest and blend-Form dough into small balls and drop into a bowl of confectioners' sugar (if you are having trouble rolling the balls, refrigerate the batter for 10 minutes)- Roll them around until they are lightly covered- place on a lightly-greased cookie sheet (slightly squish them)- Bake for 6-9 minutes.

They should be crispy on the outside & nice and chewy on the inside. Enjoy!

Most Favorite Perfume EVER- Givenchy Hot Couture!

I've been a lazy blogger, but I'm back! With the new year I'd like to make my blog more of a "life" blog and not just beauty/fashion/etc. So expect more recipes, random photos of things I like and all things in between! Now onto the best smelling perfume eva...

Say hello to Givenchy's Hot Couture. On the left you will see the old bottle, and on the right, the new.

 I fell in love with this perfume sophomore year of college when I smelt it on my roommate. Now, this was a big deal because I can't smell JACK. So when I can actually smell a perfume (and it smells good) its meant to be.  I got really sad when they discontinued this perfume... but when I found out they brought it back I HAD to have it. Well, more like wait until the holidays when my sister bought me Pink Sugar and I could exchange it to pay for PART of this big guys $85 price tag. 

Anyways, I recommend you check it out while in Sephora. I don't think it's possible to not like this perfume.

Budget Buy- Madden Girl Trenquil

After seeing the I-Dreemy shoes Michele1218 mentioned on her youtube I happened to stumble upon a pair that looks almost IDENTICAL to the ones she got. But, my version are $70 cheaper.

Say hello to the Madden Girl Trenquil, which I paid $29.99 for at Marshalls. 

They are a gorgeous light blush color with multi color reflective rhinestones

And the comparable Steve Madden I-Dreemy... $99.95 found here

I stopped in the Steve Madden store today to see the differences. Literally the only differences I could see were that my shoes have less "rhinestones" in the back & they don't have that back "lip". But $70 worth of differences? I think not. If you like what you see, head to your nearest Marshalls ASAP. They also had a silver & black version as well.
