Blue Sprite cocktail.

Sprite is my second favorite soda drink, I guess (Fanta is my number one! Mmm.. Fanta!). So I'm not really too excited to use it in cocktails because if it doesn't turn out the way I wanted to, I just wasted perfectly good and delicious Sprite. If you think that's weird, I don't blame you but you don't have a clue of how many of my little 'experiments' epically fail (A. LOT!). But a while ago, at a friends housewarming party (so crazy I have friends that already moved in together), I tried this cocktail and was immediately hooked. So before I got my buzz on, I made sure I had the recipe so I could try this myself at home. With all of the sun we've been getting lately (oh, I love sunny days), I've been getting in my cocktail mood and because I love crazy colored cocktails, I thought it was time for this guy.

Cake pops.

I doubted if I would do this post because I'm not really into cakepops. Cupcakes are more my thing: there's more to eat but they're still easy to take with you (on the train for example... I always get hungry on the train). But a few months ago, my parents bought me a cake pop machine - they didn't know what to get me anymore... I'm spoiled: I got everything! Now I got this machine standing here, so I decided to use it too! Cake pops are pretty messy with all the chocolate and if you're anything like me, I recommend you NOT to wear your best clothes... I litterally got chocolate every-where!

DIY Painted flower pots.

Between preparing for lessons, giving them and taking them, I found some time to do a DIY that I've been wanting to do since last summer. I saw lots of people experimenting with terra cotta pots and I loved all projects. So I decided to make my own. I chose to paint the pots, since that looked easier and I didn't have any cool fabric lying around. And well, does this really need an explanation? I just painted the pots and drew on whatever I wanted! You can do the same, you'll see: easypeasy. I just used some paint sample-thingies that I bought at a DIY-store (which cost about €2) and they were actually ment to paint walls but it worked fine!
I'm really in love with my new flower pots, they're just so much prettier than your standard terra cotta pot.

Carnival Parade!

As I promised earlier: pictures of our carnival parade. It doesn't look like much, I know. We're just a small town, we don't really have the funds for big and bold parade wagons, I guess. But the atmosphere is like no other ;).
