Wednesday Inspiration-RubySnap Cookies

Hello, everyone! It's time for me to brighten your Wednesday with some cool inspiration. Enjoy!
RubySnap Cookies I found out about these cookies on another blog and I cannot wait to order some! There is unfortunately not a store close to me, therefore, I will be ordering these bad boys online! She gives the option of mailing the dough or baked & boxed cookies. I will probably order the already baked cookies so that I can get the full effect! I also love the fact that she gives here cookies names and characters!

The Susie
The Lily
When I buy these, I plan to make a review =) Which ones do you think I should try?

Party Inspiration- Alice in Wonderland Tea Party

(Source) Hello, everyone! As summer comes to an end, I know many of us will want to celebrate the last days with family and friends as they come into town. Well, I am here to help with a little party inspiration. When I was a little girl, I was the biggest tomboy; however, for some reason, I always wanted to have a tea party. Maybe the idea of a tea party came from the multitude of Disney Movies that featured little girls sitting around a circular table with Mr. Teddy Bear, Fluffy and Barbie, enjoying the finest cup of imaginary tea. Well the tea party that stuck out to me the most was the tea party in Alice in Wonderland. How great would it be to recreate that!
Why this party would be a hit: Tea isn't for little girls anymore. Not only is a tea party fun to have, but tea is really good for you, as well. You could brew several types of tea, have guest dress up and pair the tea with a few of your favorite desserts.
The Tea: Make sure that you choose a light and fruity tea, to keep the summer theme in mind! Invitations

Paint My Face! Make Up Transformation

I've never been one to wear a whole bunch of make-up; however, I do think that "putting your face on" for special occasions can be a whole bunch of fun! Well, this make up artist needs no occasion to paint her face. With her make up skills, she can transform into almost any celebrity, from Angelina Jolie to Antoine Dodson. I found this video on a fellow blogger's page, Socialite Dreams (check her out!)

Isn't this amazing? The before and after is remarkable!
