Stay healthy/pretty in hot weather!

Hey everybody! Today I'm going to tell you about some ways to stay pretty/healthy in hot weather:

So, think about the things you want to protect. Your skin, eyes and hair!!! Remember sunscreen! The MINIMUM SFP sunscreen you should ever wear is SFP 15. And a true fact is that bad skin isn't usually caused from old age, it's because of the sun damaging your skin! Wear sunglasses if your going to be doing anythin g that is going to have your face right at the sun. Make sure your hair and lips get taken care of. You can get SPF lip balm/chapstick. And your hair should be washed and dryed after spending time in the sun so it doesn't get greasy or dehydrated.

Thanks for reading! P.S. All these facts should be true, otherwise my sources have done a bad job.

TTYL, :)

 

Changes?!

There are some changes in store for the CC for sure. While we  all love to cook and BAKE, this blog has become more of a style and lifestyle blog. The CC may start a whole new blog, or just revamp this one. We hope you will come along for the ride as we decide what to do with our blog. That being said, cupcakes will probably stay with us in whatever we decide to do. They may be in a post here and there but, they might no longer be the sole focus of a site.

The girls at the CC have been inspired by some great fashion/lifestyle blogs. Here are some of our (and maybe your) top  picks.

 Carly Heitlinger- www.thecollegeprepster.com
 Robbie Downey- www.balletbabble.blogspot.com (she has a YouTube channel as well:) This one is for the ballet girls out there. The girls at the CC do ballet.

Do any of you have a Pinterest? I have been loving it! It's like a virtual bulletin board!

Thanks for bearing with us in the midst of our changes!

Beat the Heat?

   

Hey everyone!
 Summer is upon us! This means school is finally out and we can all relax. At least for a little while. While we are so excited for the hot summer weather,staying trendy is a bit of a concern for those of us who are always trying to beat the heat. Below, is a summer look that is super trendy all while helping you stay cool (in more ways than one:) The top, from J.Crew, is an example of the beautiful coraly colors that are oh so trendy this summer. The slightly high waisted, light wash J.Crew jean shorts are an exemplary pick of summer style for summer 2k13. We all  want our feet to be comfortable and cool, with out getting a flip flop tan maybe? This pair of TOMS, is a rich white lace that will match will everything. This navy and cram cross body bag is brilliant for the summer when you do not feel like toting around a full fledged purse! These essentials will get you through the summer in style. And always remember your sunglasses.
Good luck beating the heat!
 xoxo, the CC

Six Flags trip!!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I went to Six Flags (2nd time ever) and rode a rollercoaster for the first time. Can you believe it? We only had enough time for 3 rollercoasters. I'll list the one's I went to in order of me riding them:

1. Demon (Kinda funny that my first rollercoaster had upside-down parts! Normally your first is pretty easy)
2. X-Flight (Me and my friends liked it the most out of all three!)
3. Dark Night (The wait was long, but me and one of my friends thought it was worth it.)

Just a short post ;)

Hey everybody! I got out of school yesterday. Getting to my point, even when school's over, it's never to late to do something with your class over the summer!

CC movie review: Soul Surfer

                  WELCOME TO THE MOVIES
                  with Cousin's Cupcakes
                  **********************

Here's today's movie review:

MOVIE: Soul Surfer

RATED: PG. In my opinion, PG-13 would've been a better rating, but just for one intense scene. BUT, I think that PG-13 might be giving the wrong idea about the movie. There is no swearing or anything inappropriot.

ABOUT: (This takes place in Hawaii.)Teen surfer Bethany Hamilton lives for surfing. One day, while surfing with her best friend, Alana, and Alana's brother and father, Bethany gets her left arm bit off by a shark. After the bite, comes about a minute of blood. SO BE PREPARED!!! After she recovers, she starts surfing again. That's the base of the movie.

MY REVIEW: This movie was so good!!! It was inspirational, but also totally awesome. It may seem like this review is short, but really, it's just so awesome I can't describe it! See for yourself!

MY 5 STAR RATING: Out of five stars, I rate this a five plus! It was the most inspirational movie ever!

WHERE YOU CAN WATCH IT: It's on Netflix, but it's not a Watch Instantly option. It's also in Redbox's.

Okay guys! Thanks for reading! In the comments, tell us what you thought of this movie, OR, recommend a movie for us to watch/review. Bye for now!



 

Fashion Update: Styles to rock this spring and summer

Styles: 2 styles to choose from. Bohemian or Western.

Bohemian aka Boho: Like hippy, except a more chic, no dread locks, peace-sign sunglasses, tie-die t-shirts, bellbotoms and bandanas. To achieve boho, try to wear long, flowy skirts, jean vests, tank tops, leather or suede accessories (I choose fake, because I'm vegetarian, but it's up to you), braided bracelets, and sunglasses!

Western aka Cowgirl: No spurs needed! Try wearing a plaid shirt with any denim at all. Denim shorts, jeans, or denim skirt. If you have 'em, wear cowboy boots. A straw hat could tie up the look, but you don't have to wear one.

NOTE: Chunky bangles are great for these looks. Just make sure they match the colors of your outfit.

Hair for boho: Hair loose, maybe a few tiny braid in it.

Hair for cowgirl: Down or in a low ponytial.
 

YouTube channels to watch

Hi everyone! Sorry how long it's been since we've posted. But... Here's a post that'll entertain you for a loooooooong time! It's cool YouTube channels to check out:

For girls:
AndreasChoice (mostly hair, style nails)
MichellePhan (mostly makeup, nails)
bubzbeauty (mostly hair, makeup, style, cute crafts, things she calls 'girl talk's)
dope2111 (mostly 'how to look like (whoever it is)' tutorials.)
Charismastar (mostly same as dope2111)
cutepolish (the name says it all, NAILPOLISH!!)

Now, I'm not saying that boys CAN'T watch these channels, but I'm saying they SHOULDN'T because there is sometimes some girl stuff said on these channels, mostly on bubzbeauty, then AndreasChoice, then MichellePhan.

For everybody (10 and up):
nigahiga

So funny! But sometimes rude and mature humor, so I think that if you showed a kid who's younger than ten who might retain bad things (such as a five, six, seven, eight or nine year old) you'd regret it so much.

Alright guys, have fun watching these channels. See?! I told you that you'd be entertained for a loooong time with this post, because now you'll have lots of channels to watch.
