WICKED BRIEF REVIEW

I had the pleasure of being taken to see Wicked the other day, (a nice little surprise, I thought we were going to see Oz in the cinema!). 

WOW

WOW

WOW 

WOW

Absolutely incredible... Absolutely faultless.. and as a mystery lover I loved the fact that it was a prequel to the original OZ films... Nothing like a good FEW twists in the story.

These women could sing...

One of the highlights of the night was when the German guy next to me was taking pictures and the usher came almost immediately and made him delete them off his phone there and then.... Military force in that theatre.. you've been warned...

As I've been hiding from performing I've been hiding from the theatre.... but it has re awoken my love.. and as you may have seen in my 'The blogger' page.. This is the year I balance my MA, my business and revive my performing career.

We must never regret we when we could have just gone for it.

See Wicked.

Pursue your dreams.

No regrets... Lots of lessons!!

Women should be able to cook?

Have I just been left in the dark ages or is it still OK for me to be passionate about women being able to cook?

Nothing makes me happier than to cook for my family and friends... Yesterday I threw down some ribs, prawn fritters salad and hand made chips... Yum!!

Oreo CupCakes 

Updating the website.... behind the scenes picture lol...

Something very exciting is on the horizon... DONT WASTE TIME!!

Pharrell did it Funky

So cool.... So very cool.

Book us!

Standing Tall!

Day Heels, Night Heels and Heels!!

Get them out ladies it's not just for the shorties, there for EVERYONE!! 

I wear them most days, turning most heads as I'm already 5"8 but it makes me feel just that little bit more special!

Here are some certified examples:

Top Shop £62

(Inspired by watching the Matrix on TV last week, I now go by the name INFINITY)

Dorothy Perkins £38 

(Red EVERYTHING is in, work that hot dress or two pieces suit, it's needed!)

Office £60

(Managed to cop the last size 6 in the shop lol in BLUE. I had to... my trainers need some heels too!!)

Post lent blogging!

After a refreshing 6-8weeks of no social networking, reflecting, meditating, praying and planning; I'm back with a new energy!

It's so important to give yourself breaks, recollect, refocus and then continue because as great as social networking might be, it's so much more fruitful to do the work than write about doing the work #word

This was me.. only I'm not sure she's talking to Jesus. I was lol.

Ireland day 3: My home, cakes, beach and family

Had some carrot cake for dinner (that's lunch over here)..... I didn't finish it... Unfortunately a 2/10 :-(

Soooooo! (To make up for someone else's baking tragedy) I made some wee cupcakes for my family, namely my wee cousin.. Pirates and princesses! Lemon flavoured, tangy, sweet and delicious... Granny is a dedicated fan lol! 

We went for a walk in Newcastle... So peaceful by the sea. I really believe that no matter how much we try to elevate ourselves, build our own empires and prove our superiority, the earth will always be able to prove God's superiority over us...

Ireland: day 2 Politics, History, Cake and Custard

My Protestant family living in a Catholic area... My British family living in an area with unsettled republicans...

My grandad said the McCombs (family name) started with a man who came over, built his house on a hill which was attacked by Catholics. He went down to the priest and told him, if they come back he'll shoot them all. So I did some research.. Turns out that the first McComb came over in 1607 from Scotland for the Ulster Plantation. Another record says a Mr McComb led a mob attack against a Chapel and then later went mad. Perhaps part two to my grandaddy's tale....? 

Amazing chapel in my town...

My second cousin started a business with a chip van then opened a chip shop! After 15years of business he opened AJ's Diner, a successful diner is Crossgar which us in it's 10th year of successful business. I've never been there and it's had less than 60% of the tables full... An inspiration and a lesson for the future journey of my business and other endeavours. My 70-something yr old great aunt still works there (at her insistence) though she is well looked after and wants for nothing... Hard work, perseverance and family commitment seem to be the lesson for today.

If you ate with me you'd realise that it runs the family to serve more food than is necessary... You may also notice the Cake and Custard... My grandma taught my mum to bake and my mum taught me...

The food was incredible, generous and there are some clear reflections of this service in CakeGirl. It runs in the blood, seemingly...

Lent... CakeGirl down time!!

I've given up twitter and Facebook for lent this year.... I just needed a break.
The moaning.
Bragging.
Drama.
Attention seeking.
Status' like "in a meeting" ...... So what!! It doesn't make you a tycoon mate. #leaveityeah

So yes, as you can see, I needed to get away from it for a bit.. Take some time to re-evaluate, recuperate and get creative outside of social media....

DON'T BE SCARED TO TAKE BREAKS... WE'RE BUILT TO HAVE DOWN TIME IN ORDER TO RETURN BETTER AND STRONGER!

So I'm in IRELAND, seeing my grandparents.... Getting to know more about my history... Resting my mind from studying/CakeGirl/work.... And ummmmm yeah taking a well deserved break.... I'll blog some of my journey as Ireland is such a great place and my grandparents are epic.

Northern Ireland by the way ;-)

Truth be told.... I just didn't want to get so caught up in building my empire and forgetting to live... We're all at risk of becoming that 'in a meeting' person...

Prosperity will come with hard work, commitment and regular rest.... Remembering to live, cherish my family and reflect.

This is me when I was young....just thought an image would be helpful...

So. She wanted a home made messy rainbow cake..... That's exactly what she got!

So this was a birthday commission... I had so much fun making this cake, I'm a big supporter of the homemade look.... Sweets, sprinkles, icing and 8 layers of gorgeous sponge cake!! 

It's where it all began.... YUM!

CakePops!

Tried them out for the first time yesterday.... I know I'm late but if you read 'The blogger' page you'll know why!

Not bad ay!!
