Plus, it’s Friday! Therefore, I think that it’s very appropriate and fitting to have a slice of a chocolate cake today! Perfect excuse and no regrets.
For me, chocolate cake is definitely an indulgence. After I have a slice (and a half leaning towards two), my skinny jeans and I are no longer BFFs but eventually we do rekindle our love for one another :)
Here are some sweet chocolaty treats to help you get through National Chocolate Cake Day…

Now who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? Hate me, love me, or thank me later. But please don’t hate me :)
Happy Chocolate Cake Day!!

Oh, what a week this has been! Deadlines, research, lots of work, and being sick…it was quite a busy week for me. But on a more happier note…after almost a week apart, my boyfriend is back! With that said, lots of hugs and presents were in order :)
The highlight of my week was yesterday. Thursday just felt perfect. I got the majority of my work done and beat my deadlines way in advance and am feeling 100% better! And it didn’t hurt that I got to spend that day with a certain someone.
Here’s why I’m in love with Thursday…
Favorite DIY (recipe here):
we made gnocchi from scratch for lunch! can you believe that it only takes one hour and three ingredients?! give it a try :)
Favorite treat:
Pinkberry's latest seasonal flavor blood orange with mochi (hands off my mochi boyfriend!), strawberries, and fruity pebbles
Favorite date moment:
we had sushi! and shared a light beer...half the calories and even less calories because it's "light" lol. it was kind of him to drink a beer out of his norm, yes he laughed at me for wanting light :)
