When Girl Scout season comes around, it takes all of my willpower, strength, courage, and inner peace to avoid Girl Scout cookies. It's a serious kinda avoidance.
I try to tell myself they'll give me the Bubonic plague or something if I eat them which usually deters me for a good .45946 seconds before I finally take my chances with the plague and shovel them in at a

So I recently joined OkCupid and I have to say, what am I doing?
First of all, within the first 24 hours of signing up I was so bombarded with emails from prospective Lotharios that I had to shut my computer and phone off because I'd get a new message ping every second or so. Needless to say, I've never felt like a pimp more in my life [it was kind of awesome, even if 99%

Oreo Overload Cake
Don't say I didn't warn you. Because I totally did on Facebook. I even gave you a 10+ hour head start to mentally prepare, pray for your sanity, take a few laps.. what have you.
This cake, though -- it is insanity, people.
So a couple days ago I was doing my usual social networking and wanted to share something chocolate-y. I quickly realized that I have been the worst

Sigh. Is it Girl Scout Cookie season again already?!
Every year I try to evade them around this time.. going to grocery stores at weird hours, avoiding making eye contact with potential mothers and/or young girls wearing vests, and never carrying cash which is easy since I am consistently broke as it is.
But man, those chickadees are hustlers! I wouldn't be surprised if

Over the Rainbow Brownie Bombs
Yesterday, I did a grown-uppy thing: I got a queen-size bed!! This is pretty exciting news seeing that I have been sleeping on a twin for my entire life and finally feel like I've surpassed some grown-up right-of-passage with my grown-up bed.
Basically what I'm trying to say is, I'm a big girl now!
So out of nowhere, my parents decided to graciously treat my me and my

The OCD’s Guide To Life — Hint, It’s Not Living {Getting Personal Pt. 3}
Howdy y'all.
Last year around this time, I wrote this post, Getting Personal about my struggles with anxiety, depression, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. I took a couple of weeks off of blogging, made time for myself and sought out help for my issues. A few weeks later, I wrote an update about my progress -- a slooooooooooow journey that has yet to come to a finish.

Birthday Cake Blondie Bombs
I may have just turned 23, but I feel like I am 90.
Yesterday I took my sister to a concert and had to stand in line for two hours with a bunch of teenagers with thick black eyeliner and who swore gratuitously. Now, I am an eyeliner-lovin' fool and I have a mouth like a sailor, but I guess when you're 15 (and it's true) you will wear and swear as much as humanly possible

As some of you may know (or probably none of you know, whatever) I have been on a minor gym hiatus. Because of the holidays, and then the days following the holidays, and the weeks after that, and oh godddd I just really didn't want to go. So there's that.
Well, I went to Zumba yesterday and let's just say it was all kinds of awkward and gave me a disturbing revelation: I

Cinnabon Cinnapopper Pie
Pet peeeeeeve time.
You know when you go to concerts or attractions or events and there's always that person filming every little detail? Except they're filming it with the microscopic, low-grade camera on their phone AND the place is extremely loud and dark? Yeah -- Filmers of Dark and Loud Events, please stop. I beg of you.
Because it isn't really the fact that

{The Chewiest!} Red Velvet M&M’s Cookies
Sooooo I just got back from Disneyland, and I am having some serious issues to adjusting back to the real world.
Instead of waking in the morning feeling like P.Diddy in my luxurious hotel room, I wake up looking like a hobo in my twin-sized bed with ripped plaid sheets. There isn't anyone to restock miniature toiletries in my bathroom when I leave for a small period of
