The Little Things
February 6, 2015

Happy Friday!ย Well, after three weeks of wearing midnight cami nail polish, I finally switched to another winter favorite: OPI’s Lincoln Park After Dark. This has been on my toenails for a good part of winter, but I obviously don’t post pictures of that ๐Ÿ™‚ I love this color:

The color is so smooth, and it’s a dark dark purple-ish maroon, but almost looks black in certain lights. I think it’s a solid staple for fall, winter, and early spring!

And now some random Friday Facts:

1. One of my favorite ways to eat popcorn is with Sriracha on top! I pop it, dump some of it into a bowl, drizzle Sriracha on top, and eat it with a spoon like cereal. I know it sounds a little weird, but it’s delicious!

2. I’m exactly half way through this age-year, as today is my half-birthday. No, I don’t celebrate half birthdays, but I do pause and take stock in how I’ve spent the year so far. Overall, I’m really happy with everything I’ve done in the last 6 months… but they sure have gone ridiculously quickly!

3. This past weekend I made Root Beer Float Cupcakes! I’ve made them a few times a year since December of 2012, and I’m obsessed. Seriously, if you’re looking for an easy option for making cupcakes, these are a great option!

4. A few months ago I found the blog Essie Buttonย , and while I don’t wear tons of make up, I am really really enjoying her youtube channel. Have any of you watched her videos before?

5. I finally watched the Parenthood finale- TEARS. I really loved how they wrapped everything up, and I definitely had lots of feelings flying around in those final minutes.

Now it’s your turn to share! What’s one random fact from your week? If you could choose any flavor of cupcake to eat right now, what would it be?

    I am boring – my favorite type of cupcake is plain vanilla with buttercream frosting. I haven’t had one since my birthday in November!

      Vanilla is a complex flavor- it just can seem boring because it’s common ๐Ÿ™‚ I love a vanilla cupcake with buttercream- they’re delicious! ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. I love that nail polish color, I totally own a bottle and it’s my favorite!

    Hmmmm, idk what kind of cupcake I would want. Ideally something with chocolate, caramel, and maybe coconut?

    • littlethingscaroline@gmail.com says:

      It’s a really fantastic color! Gosh- a chocolate coconut cupcake with caramel sounds yummy! Now I REALLY want one ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Sriracha and popcorn?!? I have never heard of this combination. I canโ€™t handle really spicy flavors, but the mellowness of the popcorn may balance it out.

    I just started the first season of Parenthood (yes, a little behind the times, I know) and LOVE IT!!!

    I am all about salted caramel cupcakes with chocolate chip chocolate cake! ๐Ÿ™‚

    • littlethingscaroline@gmail.com says:

      I know the combination sounds weird, but I love it! I used to start with just a few drops of sriracha, but my spicy tolerance has increased quite a bit in the last year! I’m so glad that you’ve been enjoying Parenthood. It’s great ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. Root beer float cupcakes sound like heaven.

      They are amazing. When I make them they are smaller than the big ones from a bakery (200-250 calories I think), and I’ve eaten one every day for the last week. They don’t get old ๐Ÿ™‚
