Rainbow cupcakes and Portland






A while back my boyfriend and I made some uber bright cupcakes, I got the recipe from one of the blogs I follow which is Our Best Bites. The ones we made obviously aren't as picture perfect as Our Best Bites but it was still way fun to make and the outcome is so pretty! I love how bright the colors are. Heres a pic of some right out of the oven and then a rasta inspired one

Towards the end of April my boyfriend and I decided to take an out-of-the-blue overnight trip to Portland. We left on an early Saturday morning and went home late afternoon that Sunday. We had a lot of fun and I picked out the cutest hotel to stay in, Hotel Monaco. We booked the Grand Suite which was perfect. It was so big and they set it up so cute for us with rose petals and a teddy bear on the bed and complimentary champagne on ice and a lovely complimentary thing of bath salts that smell so good and make frothy suds, just awesome, ooh and Aveda & L'Occitane en Provence bath products . Anyway if you're looking for an affordable super cute fun hotel, look at Kimpton hotels esp. Hotel Monaco, they have one in Seattle, Chicago and else where too!
