The Best of Bunny Baubles July 2016

So I’ve never written a “Best Of” post, but after thinking about it and getting comments at varying times of the year I realized that y’all may miss a post here and there. Not to worry, the gang’s all here!

Each month I will do a roundup of my favorite blog posts from the month to summarize the best moments on Bunny Baubles. July is up and August is here (where did the time go?!), so it’s time to try this out!

July is peak summer, so it’s no surprise that I was dying to sew up and wear the brightest colors I could find. Somehow I turned on the oven a couple of times, flip flopping between chocolate and fruity notes. All I know is there was a lot of sugar. When it came to decorating, it was all about the gold. Maybe I’m foreshadowing the US Olympic team wins coming up – starting today! Are y’all as excited as I am? The Summer Olympics are my favorite, and you will find me glued to the TV, especially during the gymnastics competitions.

Happy August everyone, hope you have some awesome plans in store to finish up the Summer!

How to Redecorate with Inexpensive Home Updates

How to Redecorate by Bunny Baubles 1

I have a serious need for change problem. Every six months or so, I absolutely need to make some sort of home update. Whether I get rid of knick knacks, paint picture frames a new color, or completely reorganize all of my furniture, it has to be a little different.

Old Fashioned, Southern Red Velvet Cake

Southern Red Velvet Cake by Bunny Baubles 9

Nature is so amazing. 100% of the red color in this cake comes from beets! I wish I could tell you making this cake all natural made it healthy, but there’s an unnatural amount of butter and sugar to be consumed here. It’s cake, we accept it.

Floral Summer Skirt Sewing Tutorial

Floral Summer Skirt Sewing Tutorial by Bunny Baubles 7

Summer in Houston is a sweaty time. Kyle and I went mini golfing last Saturday night and we thought, wow it feels really nice out… only to realize 15 minutes later that we were sweating profusely because it was still 85 DEGREES AT 11 PM. 6 AM, 10 PM, just accept it, you’ll be sweating.

Nutella Black Bean Brownie Bites

Nutella Black Bean Brownies by Bunny Baubles 4

Black bean brownies? No thanks.

This is the response I got from the three people who I offered brownies to the first time I made these. And who ended up loving them out of the three? Three. That’s right 3/3, for those of you who weren’t keeping track. I get it, they sound a little funny. Continue reading “Nutella Black Bean Brownie Bites”

Southern Soul Nomination – Vote For Me!

Y’all I’m totally honored to have been nominated as one of the top four Southern Soul finalists by Nicole from Lipstick and Brunch! This is a contest for ladies that embody the South in their lives on a day to day basis. If I win the contest I will receive $1000 (!!!), which would make for some seriously great blog updates and projects. I’m thinking a Cricut machine or a professional blog layout, GAME CHANGERS! I’m also planning to send some money to support Houston school art programs. Art was such a great way for my brain to play when I was in school and it kills me think some kids might not get that opportunity. 

If you would like to support and vote for me, I would truly appreciate it! The link to the survey can be found on Lipstick and Brunch’s post here. THANKS Y’ALL!!

Pina Colada Cocktail Cookies + Giveaway

Pina Colada Cocktail Cookie Recipe by Bunny Baubles 1

Y’all, I finally got a rolling pin! It’s about time, seeing as I’ve made multiple sugar cookie recipes by rolling out dough with Megan’s water bottle and flattening it with a cookie sheet (see here and here). I guess it was the engineer in me not to buy something I didn’t “need”. Continue reading “Pina Colada Cocktail Cookies + Giveaway”
