Smooth and Silky!

As a huge fan of Pinterest, I stumbled across this blog about smooth and silky legs.
I decided to give it a go.  Especially after reading about all the health benefits of coconut oil.
A Sugar Scrub...something I have never tried.
But let me tell you it will forever be a part of my beauty regimen!
I followed the directions on my legs first.
Then decided that this would be amazing over my entire body.
And oh my goodness!
My skin felt AMAZING!
My legs were incredibly smooth!
So here it is...

2 1/2 cups of Sugar
1 cup of oil (I used Coconut Oil)
5 TBLS of citrus juice (I used Lemon)



For smooth legs:
Soak your legs, body in the tub for about 5 mins or so.
Shave.
Scrub with the sugar mixture.
Shave again.
Scrub.

For smooth skin:
Scrub with sugar mixture.
Amazing!

Your legs will feel amazing.  Your hands, arms, body will be so smooth.
Best homemade beauty secret to date!
Trust me you won't be sorry :)

Sticky Cinnamon Bun aka Monkey Bread

Ever bought the premade sticky cinnamon bun?
Disappointed?
Well you won't be with this recipe.
This is super easy
but
DELICIOUS!

Ingredients:
3 TBLS Butter Melted
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/4 cup pecans (optional)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup of pancake syrup
2 cans of Grands Biscuits
Mix melted butter and syrup in bowl and set aside. Combine, pecans, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
Spray bundt pan with nonstick spray. Pour half of the butter/syrup mixture in bottom and top with brown sugar mixture.  Place biscuits at an angle around the bundt pan.  It will be a tight fight and you can just use one can.  (I like using 2 :) Pour remaining butter/syrup mixture on top of biscuits and top with the remaining brown sugar mixture. Bake at 375 degrees for about 30-45 mins with 2 cans of biscuits.
Allow to cool for a few minutes and flip on to a platter.


My family loves this fresh out of the oven.  It tastes YUMMY!

More cakes

Dinosaur Cake I made for my friends son.
I was very pleased with the result.
I got a dinosaur kit from Toys R Us that included rocks, volcanos, dinosaurs, and trees.
I used 2 smaller round cakes to set the volcano on and to make a grassy area.
Classic yellow cake with chocolate frosting.
Grassy area is butter cream.



Kit Kat Cake I made for my beau!
Chocolate Cake with caramel in the center.
A peanut butter frosting.
Wrapped with Kit Kats and filled with Peanut M&M's.
Break the Kit Kats in groups of 2 set around the cake.
Super easy and really cute!  He loved it :)
