Just a little reminder for myself and for everyone else who needs encouragement. It's ok to be brave! It's very ok.
Don't be scared. Try wearing a bright lipstick, or your fancy high heels that you're saving for a special day. Talk to someone you wouldn't normally talk to. Make something special for dinner, even if it looks tricky. Put yourself out there! Life takes courage, just keep just keep reminding yourself.
My sister had an impromptu picnic for her birthday earlier this year. So I made her an impromptu lemon cake that was picnic appropriate. I guess all cakes are picnic appropriate, but adding some paper flags to this bright yellow cake made it seem a bit more festive.
Somehow I've turned into the birthday-cake baker in the family. But every cake I've made this year is nothing compared to the rainbow cake from last year. I'm going to have to make something amazing to beat that! One day, one day...
P.S. My sister's Happy Whale collage is going to be on Avant Cards. Keep a look out for it!
This song is by First Aid Kit, a Swedish band, and is so dreamy and nice!
My Life has been full of study lately. I've just finished a semester, and thought I should get back into the blogging jive! I've been trying to not cook too many sweet things, because I was putting on weight from eating all the brownies and cookies! And putting on weight meant that I couldn't wear all of my lovely vintage dresses. So since I've been cutting back on the sweets, I thought I would share my outfits from the last couple of weeks. Maybe this will get me back into blogging a bit more regularly. And make me more motivated to cook, because I've been really lazy lately, making things like omelettes and stir fry for dinner. But I always want to cook lots of amazing things!
All these photos were taken on Instagram (my fave!) If you're on instagram, you can follow me at @ursula_apples.
I've got a couple of recipes up my sleeve, so I'll share those with you soon! I'm really glad to be back. I'll leave you with this lovely song that I just discovered by an American band called The Neighbourhood...
