After couple of days in the fridge, this cupcake taste much better. you can get the recipe here.

It's getting a bit warmer, so I'm back with my all time favorite peach ice tea.

I'm also loving this watch, been wearing it almost everyday from the time I got it.

Sorry not much of things (I mean material things) to be love this week, but I have better pins or may I say reminder to share with you!!

Its still love month, for me this month doesn’t mean only for lovers. For me this month is for all kinds of love – love towards your other half, love towards your family, love towards your friends and colleagues. And most importantly love to yourself. Most of the time we intend to overlooked ourselves. Love yourself first before anyone else... So here are some pins that I hope will help you to remember to LOVE YOURSELF.

Pinterecipe mood: 2 ingredients chocolate cupcake

xoxo Everythingtastiful at Monday, February 25, 2013

Who’s not familiar with Pinterest? Well I guess no one! I myself have always been hooked with this site, and it also came to a point where I've spent half of my day pinning and surfing. {You can follow me here}

So one day, I was in a baking mood and have decided to try this 2 ingredients cupcake. Yes you heard me right only two ingredients!!!
You only require:

1. cake mix
2. pure canned pumpkin

Original recipe calls for a cake mix but apparently I don’t have one, so I just use the muffin chocolate mix, hoping that it will also work…

So here’s the step-by-step procedure:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine the 2 ingredients.
3. Grease your muffin tin and line it with your cupcake liners.
4. Spoon into greased muffin tin and (optional) top with some chocolate chips or walnuts.
5. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Verdict: I find it OK, but it didn’t really WOWed me. It’s not fluffy (unlike what others are saying) and it is somehow a moist texture (but not really moist). For me sweetness is just OK for my preferences. But my hubby and my friend said that it needs more sugar. So if you have a sweet tooth, I guess you have to modify this and add some more chocolate chips or sugar. But overall, it’s OK considering that it’s so easy to make and it’s a healthy alternative to your normal cupcake/muffin. Next time, I will try to make it with a cake mix (as the original recipe calls), maybe result will be different.
But I'd still recommend that you give it a try, especially during the days where you crave for some sweets.

Love is in the air: Valen-TIME recap

xoxo Everythingtastiful at Tuesday, February 19, 2013

Hi everyone! I hope everyone has a great big heart day! Here's a recap of my big heart day:

While I was too busy doing my online shopping in drugstore.com (I'll do a haul once I received it), my hubby surprised me with a gift. He gave it at exactly 12 midnight.

I was so happy that I got this Michael Kors watch, coz honestly I have been eyeing for this model.

At night of the big heart day, we went out for a simple dinner. Here's my valen-tire lookbook:

Top: I got his on sale in H&M, so most probably not available anymore. But I also love this boxy layered eyelet top from Forever21

Skirt: I got this Peplum skirt on sale from Debenhams last year. I love the details and the gold buttons. ASOS has also nice peplum skirt.

Tights: from H&M

Shoes: from Christian Louboutin love this and its the perfect height for me.

Watch: Cartier ballon bleu I received this as a gift from hubby 2 years ago.

Bracelet: Forever21

Necklace: Gold bullet strand from Baublebar

Earring: Channel

And here's the makeup products that I've used:

Post VALEN - TIME recap:

Next day, we are still in the big heart day mood. So we went out for a movie and this time I gave him my surprise gift.

First, isn't this so cute and adorable, I found this in hallmark and it was on sale. I really fell in love with this.

Well, I guess hubby doesn't care about the bag :). Here's what I got for him:

I'm happy coz he really likes it. Well I guess its time for him to upgrade his old blackberry phone. I just hope he can keep up with the touch screen :)

Then we had this unique pizza in a shape of a cone or a.k.a "cone pizza". It was so yummy, and I like the idea of it, its such unique way of eating your typical pizza.

This is how they cook the pizza cone, cool huh?!?

Well that's how we celebrated our valentines day (pre & post). What about you how did you celebrate your big heart day?
