Well, Hello There..

First blog post. Here goes.
 
Today begins a [hopefully] new habit of blogging at least once a week. I've tried, and failed, before. But, I am trying to get into the habit of putting the thoughts in my head out into the world. We could call it venting, but I hope that's not what this turns into. My hopes for this blog are to share my love of things with others. What things, you may ask? Well, I suppose I should start by introducing myself, and maybe that will help.
 
 My name is Nichole, and I am a nursing student at Liberty University. Well, that is only partly true. It's taken me awhile to get to where I am in school. I have 2 years of nursing school behind me from a different school..so I'm kinda starting over, kinda catching up..basically, life surprises you and doesn't always go how you think. Anyways, I am a runner, baker, crafter, and believer. Cupcakes and coffee are my thing (hence, the title of my blog). I like to attempt to look on the bright side of things..but don't always achieve that. I love all things pink and sparkly. And shoes...gotta love shoes..


My main focus on this blog is going to be..wait for it..cupcakes. With a side of coffee. Mostly just my obsession with coffee and what I'm drinking at the moment. [which, if you would like to know, I am currently drinking coffee with a white chocolate raspberry creamer. Yeah. Delicious.] As for the cupcakes. Well. Cupcakes are a whole different story. I love making them, inventing new flavors and combinations, and sharing them! There's just something about hearing how much others enjoy things you painstakingly spent time putting together. Besides, who doesn't love cupcakes?! It's a small, bite-sized cake, the size of your fist, that you eat with your hand. I mean, just look at one! So adorable.


 
 I try to make cupcakes once a week. Usually I bring them to work, or send them with my mom to her work. Like I said before, I like to share. Plus, the more people eat my creations, the less I will be tempted to. So, it works out. This weeks creation? Well, let's just say..I have some ideas. And I can't wait to share them!

 
Until next time..
 
XOXO, Nicky
