<br />
My best friend and I did a video tag that has been going around called the "Whisper Challenge" - have you tried it? It is so much fun!<br />
<br />Basically, the rules of the game is that one person will wear <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://amzn.to/2e3ruEW" target="_blank">headphones</a></span></b> with music playing loud and has to guess what the other person is saying. My best friend's favorite color is pink, so we were using her daughter's rhinestone <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://amzn.to/2e3ruEW" target="_blank">Hello Kitty</a></span></b> headphones lol. Let me tell you...it looks much easier than it is. Man was it hard! But it was so much fun! It's a perfect game to do with kids, family and friends. I hope you enjoy watching as much as we enjoyed making fools of ourselves. Haha<br />

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="color: #ead1dc;">I hope you guys are enjoy your new years so far! Wow it feels like 2014 just passed us by so fast...like where did the year go? It felt like we just celebrated New Years for 2014 not too long ago! I hope you guys enjoyed the holidays and are on a good start 2015.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">As for me, after years of wishing...I finally received for Christmas a <a href="http://amzn.to/2fe4HmW" target="_blank">KitchenAid Mixer 5QT</a>. Yay!! I've been wanting this bad boy for years but it's so darn expensive. I specifically wanted the one with the clear bowl for video purposes. Since I film baking tutorials for my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/queenleilani" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a>, I wanted what I made to be visible. It usually runs between $250-$500 depending on the version you get. But they had a great sale at <a href="http://go.magik.ly/ml/2cac/" target="_blank">Costco</a> for <b>$229 </b>until Jan 18, 2015... so if you ever consider getting one, consider getting it <a href="http://go.magik.ly/ml/2cac/" target="_blank">there</a>. </span></div>
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">So the first thing I wanted to make with my mixer was bread. But not just any bread. Challah bread! According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challah" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>, it's a <i>special Jewish braided bread eaten on Sabbath and Holidays</i>. My friend who is Jewish taught me how to make it. I had never heard of Challah bread before until I moved to New York and when I took my first bite I was completely hooked. I felt like I was living under a rock my entire life for not discovering this bread sooner. So delish! Stay tuned for the video tutorial on how to make this - and if you're not subscribed to my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/queenleilani" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a>, just a heads up, I always post the tutorial on my YouTube first before I post it on my blog. Until next time, see you on my next post. =)</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><br />
Hey Guys!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">So my friend Sirin's daughter, Maia just had her birthday and she is absolutely OBSESSED with the new Disney movie, Frozen! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">All I hear her talk about is.... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">"Frozen this...Frozen that....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">Can you do my hair like Elsa? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">Do you want to watch Frozen with me? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">Do you want to build a snowman?" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">Geez! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">Talk about excitement! haha. I had to watch the movie myself to find out what all the excitement was. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">I do have to admit. I cried <strike>like a baby</strike>. Don't judge me. So hey.... I thought it was a perfect opportunity to surprise Maia and make her these Frozen themed cupcakes. I figured I'd record the process while doing so. I hope you guys like it. If you have been a follower of mine, then you might have already seen my 3 tier cake that I made her for her past birthday. If you missed it, then you can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zq6C0SRyDQ </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">As far as for the cupcakes goes.....can we just take a moment and just talk about how excited I am to share this with you. I've made so many different versions of Vanilla Cupcakes out there...but I must admit. This is my all time favorite. I had to do some tweaking to find what worked best for me by making some adjustments, but I think i finally got it! The sour cream works wonders and it really does help make the cupcake super moist and fluffy. I find that it's important to have an oven thermometer to make sure your oven reads the correct temperature...since it can really make or break your recipe. Also, the trick to a perfect cupcake is...after you finish baking your cupcakes...you <i>don't</i> want to leave it in the muffin pan to cool because it can continue to bake and become dry. So once they finish baking, immediately take them out of the pan and let them cool on a wire rack. The easiest way to take them out of the muffin pan when they are still hot is I drape a kitchen towel over the cupcakes....and flip the entire pan upside down allowing the cupcakes to gently fall into the towel. While they are upside down, I just transfer them to a wire rack. Don't worry about any indentations, because if you baked this right, the cupcake should spring back to form. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">As far as the frosting goes... I hate it when the frosting is just too darn sweet that it just overpowers the entire flavor of the cupcake. The frosting is suppose to compliment the cupcake, not overpower it. For this reason exactly is why I add just a pinch of salt to the frosting. It's not entirely noticeable that it tastes "salty". It just helps to tone down the sweetness and give it a balance. If you on the other hand, loves the sweetness, by all means, leave the salt out. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">7. If you prefer the classic white vanilla cake, then skip to steps 8-9 and transfer to a cupcake lined muffin pan, proceed to step 10.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">8. Evenly divide the batter in 3 separate bowls and tint each bowl a different shade of blue. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">9. Take a spoon, and scoop 2 spoons of batter into cupcake lined muffin pan, starting with the darkest color first....then repeating the same steps for the medium blue, layering it over the darkest color.....then layering the lightest color on top. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">10. Bake for 15 min, 350 degrees</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">11. Remove immediately from the muffin pan once baked to prevent over baking and let them cool on a wire rack. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">3 1/2 cups powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">1. Blend the butter and crisco</span></div>

<span style="color: #ead1dc;">2. Mix in vanilla</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">4. Texture should be thick and should hang on to the spatula</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">Note: If you are in a warmer area and find that your frosting is still a bit soft, easy trick to fix this is to let it sit in your refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the butter and crisco to solidify a bit to make it easy to work with. </span></div>

<span style="color: #ead1dc;">Hey guys! So it's finally a New Year!! Happy 2014!! I can't believe how fast the time has flew by. Well here is my last video from 2013, a Blueberry Peach Galette that I made with my family. Things have been crazy on my end lately. I have been working on some new content for my YouTube channel and also been busy with something else that I will announce shortly. Even though it's been hectic, i'm enjoying every single moment of it. So if you're a follower on my blog or on my YouTube channel, Instagram, Twitter, or heck...all of them....then you will know about it soon. It's funny how at first I used to think that people never really read my blog since my follow count wasn't exactly anything to brag about. But it was when I don't post....I get messages from people who say "hey, you haven't posted?" or "hey, when are you posting your next video?" or when people approach me on the street and say "hey, I watch your videos!" that I realized that wow....people are actually reading this thing and watching my videos! Ha! They just don't have a blog themselves to subscribe to it or a YouTube channel to subscribe to my videos, and so forth. So thanks for reaching out to me and approaching me. I love it when I meet my followers. Well, until my next post....stay warm (it's snowing here in New York)....and I'll talk to you on my next post.</span><br />

So Halloween came and gone so fast it seems! I did a Disney Princess Collaboration with a few of my friends on YouTube. We all did a look inspired by one of the Princesses and I chose MULAN. It's one of my favorite Disney movies along with Little Mermaid. I was actually feeling very sick when I initially filmed this and I still am sick as I write this with a fever of 103 degrees. Boo! This flu bug has been floating around during this drastic weather change and I've been trying to avoid it as much as possible. But it came around the hidden corner, jumped out at me and said "Tag you're it!' Haha. So here we are. Well I hope you like my Disney look and hope you enjoy watching my video as much as I enjoyed making it. </div>

I was inspired from Tim Burton's movie "Nightmare Before Christmas" so I carved up one of his character, good old Jack! Who doesn't love a Tim Burton movie. His movies are exceptional! </div>

<span style="color: #ead1dc;">Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've made a beauty video and what better way to start but in a collaboration with some of my YouTube beauty girl friends! We all created a video inspired by Fall. As for me, I was inspired by my scarf which I love wearing during this season. If you don't know yet, purple is one of my favorite colors. I love the combination of the gold and purple on my scarf and recreated it on my nails. I hope you like it! Please check out the video above.

<div style="color: #ead1dc; text-align: justify;">
I am so happy to be working with my dear friend Lee (aka Mamichula8153 from YouTube) and her fiance Richard for their wedding. They are such a beautiful couple.
We met up together for lunch to go over some wedding bits. Before meeting up, the weather was a bit gloomy and rainy so we didn't think we would have an opportunity to do a photoshoot outdoors. But luckily, once we finished eating, the weather cleared up and we just had to take advantage of the perfect weather! </div>
<div style="color: #ead1dc; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #ead1dc; text-align: justify;">
Can you believe I recorded this entire thing straight from an iPhone? I didn't initially intend on making a behind the scenes video at all. I originally only recorded footage for only Lee & Rich to see, but with all the great clips, we decided to edit a video for Lee to upload on her <a href="http://www.youtube.com/mamichula8153%20" target="_blank">YouTube</a> channel. She created a Wedding Series playlist for her subscribers, which entails great tips and ideas for those who are planning their own wedding. You can view her playlist <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpGx5fmf3u7BAfJGXcME4PDyxdrE_Vo1a&feature=mh_lolz" target="_blank">here:</a> <br />

The photographer, Sirin is a good friend of mine and her work is amazing! She focuses on capturing the most natural interaction between couples...and it shows in her pictures.

I had the lovely opportunity to meet a very young and successful model and designer Caroline Issa. I was invited to Bazaar Harper Magazine & L.K Benett's event as they celebrated the launch of Caroline Issa's collection before its release. L.K. Bennett is a favorite line of Kate Middleton and you can bet on it that she already ordered all of Caroline's collection. Also, doesn't Drew Barrymore look amazing on the cover for Bazaar? She is so gorgeous and doesn't seem to age one bit. I was able to get a special edition for this magazine that's different than what was released on stands. Thank you Bazaar and L.K. Bennett!</div>

Once you hear the story of Caroline's inspiration of these shoes, you will fall in love with them as much as I have. Pom-poms and all! Her inspiration came from her visit in Thailand and all the bold vibrant colors and patterns triggered this masterpiece. </div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #d5a6bd;">Whoa Momma!! That's a crap load of stuff! I can't even believe that my pantry even looked like this at one point. I'm so proud of the way I organized my pantry. <br /><br />Since I live in New York, apartments are small and limited in storage space so I have to make due with the lack of cupboards I have. My pantry which contains all of my baking ingredients was just awful and sad looking. As much as I love baking, every time I opened it, something was falling out. It was hard to find what I wanted and just the clutter itself would just spoil the mood of me wanting to bake sometimes. Something had to be done...and it needed to be quick! </span></span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">So my friends and I were talking about the Electric Daisy Carnival and Electric Zoo and how we had so much fun this year and can't wait for the next year to come. It made me think about my nails and how I spent the time to prep them to match the occasion that I totally forgot to show you guys what I did! Duh! But if you follow me on <a href="http://web.stagram.com/n/queenleilani/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, then you didn't miss much since I posted this picture there before. I got so many compliments on them and people were asking me how I did it, I thought I'd share it with you. The results of the final look made people think that I spent several hours on them or that the process looked like it would be complicated. However, when I explained how simple the process was...people couldn't believe it. </span></div>
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><br />
Tools that you will need:</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><br />
1. Nail polishes of your choice (preferably opaque colors that are not sheer)</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">2. Scissors</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">3. Scotch Tape (yes, that's right...you will need tape)</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">4. Nail glue (optional)</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">5. Clear top coat</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><br />
It's 6 easy steps. So here's how to do it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><br />
1. Paint your nails any base color that you want. (I chose a deep purple)</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">2. On a strip of scotch tape, paint strips of various colors of your choice </span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">3. Cut strips, triangles, squares...any shapes with a pair of scissors</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">4. Arrange the cut pieces of tape on your nail</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">5. For added security, you can use a tiny amount of nail glue to seal corners of the strips (optional)</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;">6. Finish with a clear top coat for sealing...and your done!</span><br />
<br />

<span style="color: #f4cccc;">I had a great time during Fashion's Night Out in New York with my girls who are also on YouTube. Lee Lee aka Mamichula8153, Melissa aka oxPRETTYSPiFFYxo and Nathalie aka NatyMidnight and let's not forget my friend Waise in the back which technically he was considered one of the girls for the night. He actually flew in all the way from San Francisco, California to New York the same day just for Fashion's Night Out and flew back home the next day. Only a 1 day trip. Now that's real dedication to fashion right there! As Waise quoted for the night, "I have to look fabulous just in case I see Anna Wintour" haha. Speaking of Anna Wintour, you must watch <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq4wo4JYy2s" target="_blank"><b>"The September Issue"</b> </a> which is a documentary of the behind the scenes of the making of fashion magazine Vogue. If you're into fashion, it's definitely something worth watching.<b> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq4wo4JYy2s" target="_blank">Click here</a></b> to watch the trailer. As for Fashion's Night Out....we had a fabulous time, despite the riot that took place in SoHo. Check out our video below to see how the night went....

I got a new Waterproof Camera as a surprise gift from Tricky for summer. It's a Sony Bloggie HD Waterproof camera and I decided to make an awesome video with my family while testing it out for the first time. I love this camera. It's shock proof and dust proof. Check out the video that I made with my family below. Hope you're enjoying your summer! =)</div>

<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I love my customized shoe rack that Tricky and his brother Mikey helped me make. Living in New York, apartments are known for being small and not having enough closet space. So you really have to be crafty on your storage space. You have to utilize wall space and build up. Generally, people would put them in the closet: on the floor beneath the clothes or top shelf. Or sometimes even invest in furniture, cubby holes, etc to store shoes which just takes up valuable floor space. Either case, shoes take up so much space! I love my shoes, but hate how cumbersome it can be when I don't have enough space for them. It was a love hate relationship that I have had with them for quite a while...up until now. </span></div>

<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">Anyways....it wasn't until one day I was Skyping with my dear friend Lisa and she noticed my shoe rack in the background that she wanted to know more about it. I posted a picture of Lisa and I Skyping on my Facebook and it stirred up questions about my shoe rack in the background and people wanting to know where I bought it. lol No, I didn't buy it. It was custom made. My initial inspiration came from </span><span style="color: #ead1dc;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/239535273901518790/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> </span><span style="color: #d5a6bd;">(oh how I love Pinterest, but how it sucks up a lot of my time from browsing. But that's a whole 'nother story lol). After a few requests to make a tutorial video on how this was made, I will be uploading one shortly on the process of the making. But in the meantime, here's a little sneak peek of some pictures of the building process. </span></div>

I went to EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival) with my friends held here in New York. An experience that I'll never forget. A weekend full of music and love. Take a look of the video that I edited below to get a glimpse of how much fun it is. If you've never been to EDC before, be sure to go next time it's in your area. You'll have a blast! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: magenta;"> I first discovered Jordan on Model Mayhem years ago when he answered questions on the forum to eager makeup artists who had questions such as "what are the best products to use for a glossy eye for photo shoots." He was really good at responding back to these questions...however, it just made much more sense to just make a tutorial video which can be re-watched over and over again.

Jordan is one of my favorite makeup artists so I was so fortunate to be able to work along side him during the weekend. I took some pictures of pretty much everything that was going on during IMATS. Enjoy! </span><br />

I am so loving the <a href="http://www.containerstore.com/welcome.htm" style="color: #ff99ff;">Container Store</a><span style="color: #ff99ff;">.</span> I don't know why I never took any interest to go there after years of walking past the store on several occasions. If you've never been the Container Store, let me just warn you...it's like walking into a candy store. It's a place where you can find anything and everything to organize your life and make things so much easier. If you ever been to Ikea and you enjoy it every time, then you will love the Container Store. Every week I've been tackling a new project around the house. I started doing this regimen of mine since the <a href="http://queenleilani.blogspot.com/2012/01/happy-new-organized-year.html" style="color: #ff99ff;">New Years resolution that I blogged about was to be more organized</a><span style="color: #ff99ff;">.</span> So last week I organized my pots & pans.<br />

Yes, I know. My before picture looked atrocious. I had my baking pans on the top shelf along with other baking essentials and my pots and pans on the bottom. I gutted everything out. Donated a few unused pots and pans to a friend who just moved to their new apartment the day before I took this picture. Made the decision to designate this cupboard for only pots and pans and moved my baking pans to a new home.<br />

I picked up a <a href="http://www.containerstore.com/shop?productId=10000705&N=&Ntt=lid+organizer+" style="color: #ff99ff;">lid organizer</a><span style="color: #ff99ff;"> </span>from the Container Store for only $4.99 and put the lids on the top shelf and the pots and pans on the bottom. Putting the more frequent used pieces in the front and the remainder in the back.<br />

The green cutting board is a thin flexible plastic cutting board. It didn't have any holes for me to hang on to the hooks, so I cut a small square into it with a utility blade. Perfect! Now I don't have to scramble anymore looking for a cutting board and the oven mits no longer have to take up drawer space.<br />

However, this year was a little different. My friend Lisa came to visit me from Phoenix, Arizona and she had absolutely no idea that she was arriving on the same day that the No Pants Subway Ride was taking place. I purposely planned a late lunch with her and took the same subway routes that I knew that pantless people would be on. Usually, I am involved as a pantless participant, you can see my blog post from it last year <a style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);" href="http://queenleilani.blogspot.com/2010/05/no-pants-no-underwear-on-subway-ride.html">here.</a> However, this year was quite fun being on the spectator's side of things. I recorded Lisa's reaction and you have to watch the video for yourself. Let me just warn you, my friend is pretty bold and has absolutely no filter when she talks....which I love about her. She's the type that says exactly what's on her mind or what's on other people's minds but who do not have the guts to say it. So with that in mind, go watch the video below.<br /></div><br style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"><br style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"><iframe style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fmCJsgsp_wE" allowfullscreen="" width="640" frameborder="0" height="360"></iframe><br style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" ><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmCJsgsp_wE&feature=channel_video_title">Click here</a> to watch video.</span><br style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"><a style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRiJfTJPIRUkal3lunGNERu3xq1aozJPjBP5b5yJ0ZL5XXCTyvZF7DBX2bKoZN7nol4BJJM6FJ8ZGYpogRy3HUN9NOFzmZPg8CIazDFOCk126I5Kv4ahb0sl-kCh8b4qLN9bjDOTjhHkQ/s1600/lisa+and+i+no+pants.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRiJfTJPIRUkal3lunGNERu3xq1aozJPjBP5b5yJ0ZL5XXCTyvZF7DBX2bKoZN7nol4BJJM6FJ8ZGYpogRy3HUN9NOFzmZPg8CIazDFOCk126I5Kv4ahb0sl-kCh8b4qLN9bjDOTjhHkQ/s400/lisa+and+i+no+pants.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701628065357724370" border="0" /></a><br style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"><a style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOT_23hQKZq00pWmvZHD2FToSA9k1Zsf9j3lYTlkGd4BcWLj9vA2C1faCyL0pO5tqEMEVUChsiP1Cq5xCWhyphenhyphenf12pYg6HhZmMU-HlpHfuh2wBVWHnxpNjKJ5P61UeSPXNgNs5qsUDFjtlg/s1600/no+pants.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOT_23hQKZq00pWmvZHD2FToSA9k1Zsf9j3lYTlkGd4BcWLj9vA2C1faCyL0pO5tqEMEVUChsiP1Cq5xCWhyphenhyphenf12pYg6HhZmMU-HlpHfuh2wBVWHnxpNjKJ5P61UeSPXNgNs5qsUDFjtlg/s400/no+pants.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701628087724652722" border="0" /></a><br style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXknp09DTXgugh58nucdorUkAZejdn7RyDL46ozasJBOO674e2-e1mhXnpEw9QFV1-lazOxDZOJKndqZbKlF3Y01hMhCNDoY8T_ejO7K0ihen3-AttnBmceZUp9s25_1Shbp3vo0n1DzM/s1600/me+no+pants.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXknp09DTXgugh58nucdorUkAZejdn7RyDL46ozasJBOO674e2-e1mhXnpEw9QFV1-lazOxDZOJKndqZbKlF3Y01hMhCNDoY8T_ejO7K0ihen3-AttnBmceZUp9s25_1Shbp3vo0n1DzM/s400/me+no+pants.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701628083162523858" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">See ya on my next blog post!<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009099363802047625.post-42016759638143255472012-01-04T09:42:00.000-08:002012-07-23T10:57:45.501-07:00Cupcake Liner Organizer<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9v1f3MaQdIp8dshEbznChPTVhuSazXGKDMacjaytJqndgaLIlDnB8f5HyUUOobDas1_iisIHtYJfx8M3JYErmFVceOBJAZ9v09iBEPkbwtF-oIuhivs7eFyswYZgRLBVi0lto4cPDxV8/s1600/torijayne.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="color: #cc66cc;"><br /></a><br />

Luckily for me, I just baked over 4 dozen cupcakes within the past 2 weeks so my collection is starting to dwindle away (but not for long). I came across an amazing idea thanks to <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/239535273900476339/"><span style="color: #ff99ff;">pinterest</span>.</a> Blogger <a href="http://toriejayne.blogspot.com/2011/07/my-baking-pretties.html" style="color: #ff99ff;">Torie Jayne</a> came up with a brilliant idea to organize her cupcake liners in a spaghetti jar. I had enlisted this idea in my previous blog post: <a href="http://queenleilani.blogspot.com/2012/01/happy-new-organized-year.html" style="color: #ff99ff;">"Happy New Organized Year"</a><br />

But wait...I didn't have a spaghetti jar...and it was 2:00am in the night..stores were closed...and I was too impatient to wait till an appropriate time to go to the store to make one. So my mind started quickly thinking of an alternative as I was finishing the last few drops from my 1 liter seltzer water bottle. AHA! A light bulb literally just popped up in my head as I stared at my water bottle. How about a plastic bottle?!?! I was jumping around in the house with joy as Mr. Handsome looked at me as if I had just lost it. haha.</div>

Here are the steps:<br />
<br />
You'll need a 1 liter size bottle for this project.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Step 1: </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Peel off the wrapper from the bottle</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Step 2: </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Clean any excess goo stuck on the bottle</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Step 3: </span><br />
Use masking tape as your guide to where you will cut.<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">You can skip this step and just eyeball it.<br />But I preferred to make sure it was as even as possible<br />since my eyeballing skills for cutting is like a 4th grader.<br />I lied.<br />A 3rd grader.<br />haha. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Step 4: </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Cut. Cut. Cut.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Step 5: </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Remove the tape.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Step 6: </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">File any sharp edges. </span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">I didn't have any sand paper<br />(remember it was 2am)<br />so I just used an extra nail file that I have.<br />After this process, be sure to wash and dry the bottle.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Step 7: </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Decorate! </span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Don't worry, the glue is dried now.<br />I was just too excited to take the picture to wait for the glue to dry.</span><br />

Reverse hangers. </span></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">As much as looking at this annoys me because the perfectionist in me wants to fix and revert everything back its normal order. There is at the end of this...a purpose. At the beginning of the year, turn all the hangers backwards (takes less than a 60 seconds). Everytime you wear something, hang it back to its regular fashion. By the end of the year, if there is still some clothing hung backwards, you have to either throw it out or donate. Unless it's something that doesn't fit you but you plan to wear, get it out of your closet and put in storage until you can wear it. I actually did this on New Years day. It actually forces me to look at my clothes differently and be more creative with my clothing because there are pieces that I would hate to see go.<br /></div><br /><a style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL2hicL-G9dWRcwj7yyySsZL4g5XjT_hflPjTWpfbtAFhmky5RER2HEvUAmH3s9Yj9EY5edVBwxbpsT6WbPqUEzWNyBt6vib5rm_2onJWGgt0X0WscU4D783VtJvFSTvlshn7G_iXR5oE/s1600/organize7.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL2hicL-G9dWRcwj7yyySsZL4g5XjT_hflPjTWpfbtAFhmky5RER2HEvUAmH3s9Yj9EY5edVBwxbpsT6WbPqUEzWNyBt6vib5rm_2onJWGgt0X0WscU4D783VtJvFSTvlshn7G_iXR5oE/s400/organize7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693851259776457698" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 102, 204);"><a style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/239535273900450903/">7.

I had tourists who came from out of the states in hopes to get their hands on a palette that unfortunately wasn't available in their country. I felt like the awful bad person who had to the break the news to them when I told them it was sold out. I had one girl cry on me, one husband who flew all the way to New York just to surprise his wife with it, and 2 customers fighting over the last palette. Utter craziness I tell you! You can purchase it now from the </span><a style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);" href="http://www.urbandecay.com/Naked-2-Palette-by-Urban-Decay/282,default,pd.html">Urban Decay website</a><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);"> for $50. So I know your question is, when is Sephora releasing the Naked Palette 2. As far as the staff meeting we had, it's "expected" to be online late December and in store late January. So if you want to get it for Christmas, your best bet is to get it from the Urban Decay website. Now what's the difference between the Naked 1 v.s Naked 2? Well, the Naked 1 had a mixture of matte and shimmer eye shadows. It initially came with a sample size Primer Potion and an Urban Decay 24/7 double ended eyeliner in the colors Zero (black) and Whiskey (brown). Then later down the line, they replaced the double-ended eyeliner with an eye shadow brush instead. Now as far as the Naked 2 palette, it's expected to have more neutral colors and includes the eyeshadow brush plus a sample lip gloss. I do love my Naked palette. I use it every time I do makeup for weddings. I don't even reach for my other palettes as much because the Naked palette generally has everything I need. Now if Urban Decay plans to outdo that, then I'm totally amped.</span><a style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj60r2M6aa00elA9StNWN_RhVKZO8E6_mZOD2ZWY61QJ2JdPc_hQkoKfRcql3wGlZ3WhQ0S0-5nCYXvipxiXYnmoSE1Z4B7OJqPFdFh3gr1CuQJFdIoqjaRJJ5V-ApM4SC7lFZBfYFNYaI/s1600/naked.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 278px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj60r2M6aa00elA9StNWN_RhVKZO8E6_mZOD2ZWY61QJ2JdPc_hQkoKfRcql3wGlZ3WhQ0S0-5nCYXvipxiXYnmoSE1Z4B7OJqPFdFh3gr1CuQJFdIoqjaRJJ5V-ApM4SC7lFZBfYFNYaI/s400/naked.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687246722376327858" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">- Naked Palette (Original) - $48</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">Has an array of neutral and dark colors. If you are the type that only likes to wear natural makeup and don't see a use for the dark shadows....then let me give you a tip that I tell my clients. You can use the dark colors as an eyeliner as oppose to just an eyeshadow. I use the dark brown or black depending on my client's eye color and I lightly dust it along their lash line to emphasize their lashes without it looking like they have eyeliner on. You can apply it dry or you can apply it wet with a damp brush to darken the liner. </span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">(Available in store & online)</span><br /><a style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7zDJB2i_GBdkBjQxXej9C8IXtbYpThauF3pxdnwtr8OqX2fBdQ7jtFjseq_uRYIJF0Kf-XW2l9C43YrWfg8ESBAENwKMDB3sJfva-bKKSvEDf37-ulBtv6EE12tVnPD0NPDzYhph5v6w/s1600/stila.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7zDJB2i_GBdkBjQxXej9C8IXtbYpThauF3pxdnwtr8OqX2fBdQ7jtFjseq_uRYIJF0Kf-XW2l9C43YrWfg8ESBAENwKMDB3sJfva-bKKSvEDf37-ulBtv6EE12tVnPD0NPDzYhph5v6w/s400/stila.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687239656411454306" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">2.) </span><a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);" href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P295203&categoryId=B70">Stila Lip Glaze</a><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"> - $25</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">Stila Lip Glazes alone cost $22 each....so just for $3 more you get 8!

I remember when they first came out I have to admit the eye shadows were not at its best. But years down the road, all I have to say is WoW! They have really improved the quality of the shadows making them so highly-pigmented and so much color. If you own the Coastal Scents 88 Palettes, the colors are very similar. Check out my last blog post on the Coast Scent Palette </span><a style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);" href="http://queenleilani.blogspot.com/2009/01/hair-makeup-competition.html">here</a><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">.

It originated from Greece and is 100% natural. No parabens. No sulfates. No synthetic fragrances. Korres in general is a perfect brand for those who especially have sensitive skin. I love these lip glosses because they are not sticky whatsoever. They are very hydrating and contain Vitamin E & C so they are perfect to wear during the Winter time when you don't want to sacrifice your beauty for chapped lips. Instead, I love wearing these glosses which are sheer in color and nuture my lips at the same time with Vitamins. </span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">(Available in store & online)</span><br /><a style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK7Wi-UEYOq8kLnCk_RfUKXH__3iS_4BuZK89CR1zP4qF2_sEdiJ9P_ZBCMGWHYzEQZpfeJ1MTwtqN2Ks9HB4D_fWZYlmdBjlYrn2BbGB8nrqu1hOHMJJZaEIFPcG39KsltqoETH5pXBk/s1600/bliss.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK7Wi-UEYOq8kLnCk_RfUKXH__3iS_4BuZK89CR1zP4qF2_sEdiJ9P_ZBCMGWHYzEQZpfeJ1MTwtqN2Ks9HB4D_fWZYlmdBjlYrn2BbGB8nrqu1hOHMJJZaEIFPcG39KsltqoETH5pXBk/s400/bliss.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687247971555590226" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">9.)</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"> </span><a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);" href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P298306&categoryId=C630&shouldPaginate=true">Bliss - Happy Spa-lidays Scent-sational Set (Limited Edition)</a><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"> - $29</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">I really like Bliss' products.

It's so easy to use, you just rub the strip between your hands like you do when you're trying to warm your hands up and peel the strips apart and place them wherever you may want to wax. I use it for my eye brows. I ended up getting the body strips as well and just cut strips that were feasible for the size that I needed. Okay, I know it was a bit off topic but I had to share that with you. As far as this kit, it comes with a body wash, body cream and loofah. As far as the scent goes since someone had asked me, it is the original scent. The only difference is the packaging of the bottle. </span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">(Available in store & online)</span><br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjurNcsh1GlunPKurTiHocxJKbpC6HATjDXsOSpfpU1PjwPkf3x1LmbGHUWR5D0TV0YRGrE3rTgXQObmGIwA6oxUwSWGvkKthuPsi1s6wNMSIb5Cs6n_wuRUg8fHepEnEltOh5zJ8ybFzU/s1600/fresh.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjurNcsh1GlunPKurTiHocxJKbpC6HATjDXsOSpfpU1PjwPkf3x1LmbGHUWR5D0TV0YRGrE3rTgXQObmGIwA6oxUwSWGvkKthuPsi1s6wNMSIb5Cs6n_wuRUg8fHepEnEltOh5zJ8ybFzU/s400/fresh.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687236177618460818" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">10.)</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"> </span><a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);" href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P288809&categoryId=B70">Fresh Sugar Fix</a><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"> (Limited Edition) - $22.50</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">I think this set makes an awesome gift for yourself or someone else. You're practically getting one item for free because the lip treatment is $22.50 and the lip scrub is $22.50 individually. This is perfect for the winter time when you get really chapped lips. You just wet your lips a little and use the sugar scrub to exfoliate your lips and rid of any dead skin and rinse it off leaving your lips super smooth. The scrub is all natural and even edible since it contains brown sugar. Then afterwards, you follow up by applying the lip treatment which nourishes and conditions your lips...also not to forget that it has SPF 15 to provide UV protection. The lip treatment in this kit has no color so it's also good for HIM as well. Trust me, I have men that ask for this same lip treatment as well. But if you prefer something with color, they have some lip treatment that come in 3 other colors: Honey, Passion, Plum which is found </span><a style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);" href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P298104&categoryId=B70">here</a><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);"> for $28 for all 3 colors. </span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">(Available in store & online)</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
