Day 273- Why Facebook is ridiculous

This is exactly why I hate Facebook ( I still use it).  No one needs to tell 315 people what they ate for lunch.  I wish I could be blunt enough to defriend them.  Unfortunately, all of my annoying Facebook friends are relatives, so I'm stuck with them.

Day 272- The 15 Minute Workout

I saw the 5-4-3-2-1 Workout on Pinterest.  It only takes 15 minutes for a beginner.  It looks easy, but I was sweating by the time I was finished.  I would recommend it for busy days when you just don't have time for the gym.




 

Day 271- Moscato Cupcakes

I found this recipe on Pinterest for Moscato cupcakes.  They were so good.  Seriously, they might have been the best cupcakes I've ever had.

 

My only complaint is that the icing is a little running.  It melted all over.  I had to keep the cupcakes in the refrigerator. 

 

Ingredients:

2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

3/4 tsp. salt

1 and 1/4 cups white sugar

1 cup canola or vegetable oil

1/3 cup Moscato wine

3/4 cup buttermilk

2 large eggs

1 tsp. white vinegar

Optional: fresh strawberries or sprinkles for garnish

 

Directions:

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Put cupcake liners in two cupcake pans. This recipe should make about 24 cupcakes depending on the size of your pan.

 

 

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar, and whisk together. In a separate bowl, combine the oil, Moscato, buttermilk, eggs, and vinegar. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into dry and mix until it is  just blended. 

Scoop the batter into the prepared cupcake pan, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a cupcake comes out clean. Cool completely on wire racks before frosting with Moscato vanilla icing.

Moscato Vanilla Icing:

 

8 oz. (1 cup) butter, room temperature - You could also use a mixture of half butter and half cream cheese for the icing if desired, but I used all butter and it was delicious!

3 Tbsp. Moscato

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 cups icing sugar

In a large bowl, cream the butter with an electric mixer until it is smooth and fluffy. Add in the Moscato and vanilla and continue mixing until combined. Add the icing sugar 1/2 cup at a time, mixing until smooth and light. Frost the cooled cupcakes and garnish with a fresh sliced strawberry half and/or sprinkles.

Day 270- The Real Titles of Disney Movies

This is so funny.  They are the alternative titles to Disney movies.  I always thought that Belle had Stockholm Syndrome. 

Day 269- Similar is not the same

This is what I do whenever I see posts on Pinterest about "copycat" versions of makeup and other types of beauty products. 

"They are not the same.  They are similar."

Day 268- 101 Almost free things to do with kids this summer

I don't have kids, but I saw this list and wanted to post it.  Most of the activities are things that I would want to do in the summer as a 24 year old.  This list will come in handy when I am bored during the summer since I don't work then.  (Yea! Job in the education field!).

The best part is that the activities are free or low cost.  It's very budget friendly.

Day 267- How to choose running shoes

This pin gives advice about running shoes.  I need this because I have high aches and my new running shoes aren't giving my feet the support they need.  This is so true.  I have high aches and my feet roll out.  I will definitely relace my shoes like it tells me to.  Hopefully, that will help.
