Valentine's Day Treats! *(*´∀`*)☆


Hello everyone! How are you all doing? 

Well today there was yet ANOTHER snow storm here in Milwaukee.  -__- This time there seemed to be more snow than the last storm, because when I went outside it went up to my ankles.


So pretty, but so cold! 

I like the snow, but once again I chose a day like this to update my blog and tell you about all the yummy things I've eaten lately!


As you all know, Valentine's Day day arrived! ღ*~ This holiday makes me think of sweets, pink, hearts and love...four things that I love so much! 

Although me and Panda had to work on Valentine's Day   we enjoyed it by celebrating it the night before at home!  We enjoyed it by having a beautiful romantic dinner made by yours truly.



For my #2 dish of yumminess for the month of February, I made heart-shaped chicken pot pie with rice pilaf and served it with pink moscato.



I was so happy the heart shape turned out nice! (Besides the bottom lol)


Later we added heart-shaped ice cubes to the moscato.


I used my older sister's recipe for the pot-pie, and Panda loved it! I'm planning on making it again soon...it's just that good.

Now onto gifts!


Panda got me a giant teddy bear and a chocolate box!
He brought the humongous bear up to my job and gave it to me in front of everyone. That made my heart really melt. Panda and I don't really get to spend much time together because of our jobs, but when we do we always make it count.


For week #3 of my February baking I was supposed to make an all natural strawberry milkshake and a pink lady cake, but unfortunately I got the flu! Every since then I've been super busy, so I am going to try and make the cake this weekend.

Thankfully I did end up making the strawberry shake for Panda and I!

I borrowed this recipe since it used real strawberries and not strawberry flavor.



They were really really good! 


In the next coming weeks I will finish up my Valentine's day treats which include Pink Lady Cake, Heart Shaped Whoopie Pies and Chocolate Covered Pretzels. Yum! 



Besides all of the Love-themed cooking I've been doing, I've also sampled other love themed treats as well all throughout the month of February!

I kind of went crazy and tried almost everything I saw, lol 




A delicious box of chocolate that I treated myself to from my job.
Oh was it yummy! And the packaging was gorgeous:








Bought heart-shaped rice crispies:


Heart marshmallows and Pink/Red candy and candy dishes:

(not sure why it's upside down lol)

Heart shaped doughnut:
Yeah...I was disappointed when I found out it wasn't filled! 
But I should stop eating these things anyway, lol.


Last but not least I want to show you some of my buys from the last couple of weeks!

Got the cutest love shojo keychain from Starlight Deco Dream!: 


Rilakkuma pill cases:


Cute shoes (kinda Hime style):



Spilled coffee on my stockings :'(

My Melody wastebasket:



My Melody calendar:

And I also have new hair!

I adore the gradient colors!


Well my dears that's about it for this post. See you all soon and thanks for reading!!

Weekend fun!~o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆



Hey everyone! How are you all doing? (◕‿◕✿)  Hopefully everyone is staying warm and safe during this cold weather! :0

Yesterday there was a HUGE snowstorm in Milwaukee. We got almost 7 inches of snow! :O The roads were really bad for a long time and it took me almost two hours to get home. :(



Today the roads still aren't 100%, so I thought I'd stay in and blog about the events of the week and the fun weekend I had! (`・ω・´)”



I baked, went shopping, saw UFC fights and hung out with Brittany! 

It felt good to do the things I love doing, especially since I rarely get days off from work now. :(

So I'll start of with last Friday's events! ♥
