Happy cookies✿

Hello, everyone! How've you all been?

I've been well myself, but it's so cold now!

To me, it might as well be Christmas as soon

as it turns this way, haha.

I'm going to an early Christmas party

at the local senior home tomorrow, and 

they're having a bingo game to play for presents.

I was thinking,
"What could I give a senior that they'd enjoy?"

And it hit me: cookies, of course!

Moving on to the delicious part...

The first thing you need is Devil's Food Cake mix!

Yes, cake mix.

This is the best part of the cookies!
Who'd ever think to use cake mix? I didn't before these.
You do not follow the directions on the box; remember!

Next, you add  1/2 cup oil, and two eggs:

And of course, you mix it!
Use your hands, and mix it until all the light

brown cake mix is gone. It'll be like dough,
instead of like regular cake-mixed batter.

Now you take a normal sized spoon
(not big and not small)
and roll them in to a ball, like bellow!
Now you might want to put some powder

sugar on your hands so it doesn't make your

hands as sticky; since this recipe requires that

kind of sugar, anyway.

Next, you roll the dough in the powdered sugar!
It's important you cover as much of the cookie

as you can, because it's going to get baked in to

the cookie! Afterwards put them in a cookie sheet
far enough apart so they can cook.

I didn't have a cookie sheet, so I had to

use a cake pan. It didn't bother them, though.

Then set the oven at 375 and let it preheat,

then put them in the over for about 10-15 minutes!

Once time's up, take them out, and let them cool!

You can put them on a plate for your guests,

and you can all share them ♡

Of course, the other option is to put

them in a cute can and give them as Christmas gifts!

Since mine are going to be for other people tomorrow,

that's what I chose to do.

If you try them, let me know

how they turn out!

Mine turned out deliciously,

and even after they've cooled,

they were soft in the middle.

Happy Holidays!

Out shopping✿

Hello, everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in a few

days, it's been really hectic here!

Today my dog went to the vets to

get spayed, so  I'm kind of lonely....

And what other way to deal

with loneliness than shopping?!

Okay, so I didn't buy anything...

But I did try on a couple tops.

Well, this shirt isn't my style...

But it reminds me of my friend, so when

I saw it, I had to try it on!

I may or may not actually buy it next month

just for that reason, haha!

This sweater looked so much better in person!

It was cute, but it was also $18.00 so in

the end, I also put this back, haha.

The thing about this top was...

It looks good from chest up, but the

rest of it kind of looked like a disaster, haha.

This one actually looked lovely on me in person!
It's my favourite, but it was also too expensive for

me to buy this today. However, I do plan on buying

it first thing next month ♡

After shopping my mum and I decided

we'd take a trip over to Starbucks, since we

were already in the area! Since I discovered a new

drink last time I was there, this time I

ordered another Chestnut Prailine ♡

Also take the time to notice the girl in

the background on the left, also photographing

her own drink, haha! We are those people.

 Of course, no true 'hipster' goes to Starbucks without

taking a selfie, so here's your dose of 

Rin for the day :P

Hope you're all well!

Cake ✿

Good evening, everyone!

It's about 7:10pm here, and I'm eating

dinner, chicken and rice ♥

Maybe you've noticed, but I've

changed my Blogspot theme today!

I worked really hard on it,

so I hope you guys like it, haha ♪

Anyway,

today I baked a cake!

It's a chocolate cake with fudge in the

middle, and then chocolate frosting on top ♥

It's going to be so sweet!

This is the most chocolate I've seen in a cake!

It may end up being too sweet for me, but I'm going

to persevere and make it anyway!

Oh, the icing:

And so,
first up is making the mix ♥

I just love cake batter, so I'd really rather

have eaten it this way, even if it

did make me a little bit ill afterwards...

But I didn't, and I added the fudge on!

The fudge sinks in to the cake,

and in the end gives it a crater like look,

and it's actually pretty neat to watch bake,

although I didn't have any photos of it.

And then, violá ♪

The cake is finished!

 

 The smell was so good,

it was hard to resist diving right in to it!

I couldn't wait to try it very long,

so it was only until it wouldn't fall apart.

I have to say, I love warm cake ♥

In the end it was a little too chocolatey for me,

and I didn't end up eating much of it...

But I still enjoyed it ♪

Starbucks get✿

Hello, everyone!
Today my mum bought me a

Starbucks gift card, so I went again!

This time I got a drink, food and instant coffee!

It was delicious ♥

Since I got to go back,

I decided that I'll show you

around my Starbucks!

I had my 18th birthday at this Starbucks,

so I have some memories at this place,

and I love it a lot!

My Starbucks is fairly small, but it's good ♥

It's in a place a lot of people pass by on their way

towards work, so it has a drive through, too,

but I've never used it.

When you first go in to Starbucks,

there's a lot of stuff on the counter, and products.

I actually love this, because I can look at them when 

while I'm waiting to order when the line is long.

The seating area is really nice, they have a few

tall chairs off to the right, which I usually sit in when

I'm without my parents. I really enjoy them,

because I'm only 5'2 (really short).

They use to have really soft chairs to the left,

where the tables are now. I kind of miss them,

but seats are seats, you know?

(I just wish there were more room when it's crowded.)

Anyway, now on to what I bought!

Here's an overview, first ♪

For everything, this time it cost me
a total of about $15.00 for everything,

which honestly isn't too bad, especially for the

instant coffee I got; I've wanted to buy it for a while,

so I don't regret spending so much.

My drink...

I ordered a venti chai tea latte,

but my barista said I'd like something else,

so she had me try it, and of course I love it!

I've been going there since 2009 at least,

so they should know, haha ♪

What I got was a Chestnut Praline Latte;
it was really delicious! I tend to like coffee that

is sweet, but has a few different falvours.

As my barista said, I love sugar coffee, haha ♪

Next...

I love pumpkin in everything, so of course

getting pumpkin muffin was on my list!

I asked them if I could have it on a plate,

because it's easier for me to eat the muffin with

a fork than it is to use my hands;

just because I have a thing about getting

equal amounts of cream cheese and muffin in each bite!

They also warmed it up, so it was perfect ♥

And then...

This! I love Via from Starbucks, it just

usually has (in my opinion) a better flavour

than just regular coffee. If it weren't so expensive,

I would probably buy them more often!

Well, I also drink a lot of coffee, so they wouldn't 

last long anyway, even if I did buy a lot.

This is the first time I've bought the Pumpkin Spice Via,

so I have no idea what it tastes like, but since (as I said),

I love everything Pumpkin, I'm hoping it'll be delicious!

I'll probably make a video of it, haha.

If not, a blog post about it at least! Definitely something.

On an unrelated note,

I recorded a short song today,

so I should be getting my first video out in

a few days! It's nothing spectacular,

but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless ♥

Thank you!

A busy day ✿

Hello, everyone!
I want to post more,
but I've been so busy lately,
it's unreal.

Anyway, even though today was busy,

it was a lot of fun!

I went to Starbucks again, and while I

forgot to photograph my coffee 

(which is a thing I usually do)

I did take my own photos because...

Why not?

Starbucks and dieting ✿

Good morning, everyone!

It's Rin ♡

Today, I went to Starbucks twice! (*^▽^*)

I woke up at 8:00am and went once with my mum, haha.

(Went shopping, too)
