Still can't believe it even as I type this but I am undeniably pregnant with our 4th child. Eeeeik! I seem to remember a little outbreak on my Facebook feed 2 months ago over a picture of me looking pregnant in a black dress only I wasn't pregnant and I certainly didn't think I would be anytime soon. Jokes on me! I was for sure a little shell shocked when I saw the test with the word "pregnant" spelled out across the screen all permanent and definitive. I had to giggle a little as I held the test in one hand ...
I have always loved Coco Chanel's quote "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous." I feel like the more confidence and class a woman possesses the more beautiful she is to both men and women and the more respect she will gain from her peers. Some may roll their eyes or think me to be cliche when I encourage women to dress for themselves and what makes them feel beautiful rather than dress how they think other people will find attractive or sexy. After all, "sexy" is when a woman has everything to flaunt but chooses not to ...
If you have been following me on Facebook or Instagram this week you know that The Boss and I are vacationing in the Cayman Islands courtesy of Infusionsoft. I am so proud of Bret for working his little tush off at work for the last year and that he was able to win this trip. He most definitely deserves it and I am just excited I get to benefit from his hard work in such an exciting way! I thought that since so many of you have had questions about what I am wearing and using during the trip I ...

XOXO .................................................................................. With my pending vacation to The Cayman Islands just a few short days away I have been taking the time to do things I don't normally have time to do or maintain, like getting my nails done. I don't vacation or take breaks very often so I am definitely trying to milk this trip for everything it's worth. I don't usually get my nails done because a.) being a compulsive crafter that I am, my nails typically get ...
Hope your are having a happy New Year so far in 2013! I feel like the new year officially starts for me this week since I was out of town and finishing up major projects for the majority of last week. Before I can really crack down and focus on the new year though I like to reminisce about all the good times from the year before, so here's my quick insta-recap of 2012 through my Instagram feed. January 1. First attempt at a faux hawk on my pixie cut. Liked it enough to keep it going all year long. 2. Adjusted to ...
Through lots of tears, sweat and time I am so very happy to reveal the new look of my website and blog. As you have most likely discovered by now I took down my headbands and closed my shop (till further notice) and will be focusing on my styling and consulting in 2013. I know it's kind of cheating but for me, 2013 has officially started in February. I am the type of person who can't focus or move forward if I have major projects that aren't finished. Everyone looks forward to a fresh start at the beginning of the ...
I have been procrastinating writing this post for the past 6 months. For the past year now I have had the intention of phasing out my headband collections to focus on my styling career. The past 4 years have undoubtedly been my most challenging yet rewarding years as a business owner and I owe my success to all of you. I've learned and matured so much through my experiences as a designer and a shop owner and I wouldn't change the good times or the bad ones for anything. While I have babied every single one of my collections as ...
I don't know about you but sometimes when I am accessorizing the necklace that I want to wear isn't quite long enough to fit attractively with the top I chose without clashing necklines. One day I was just frustrated because I thought it was ridiculous that I could have so many necklaces but still not be happy with any of my choices. Fortunately my frustration drove me to think of a simple solution to this (relatively superficial) dilemma. I found myself a chain bracelet sitting near by and the necklace I was wanting to wear but that was too short ...
Holla!
I was asked to meet with Studio 5 Coordinators to design 3 segments, for KSL Channel 5, in Utah. They were looking for segments with true Whippy Cake flair, based on spring trends and new looks. This is not the first time I have worked with them, and want to do my best to keep it fresh! I presented them with ideas for more than 3 segments! And we have some future appearances on the calendar! Working with Studio 5 is such a fun opportunity. Live TV? This country girl had
I was contacted by the cool ladies at Cents of Style to do a shoot, and be featured as a guest editor for April! It is such an honor, and come on now, it’s a pleasure to do projects like this. All access to Cents of Style’s vast inventory? Yes please! And they were willing to offer a discount code for all my friends that follow Whippy Cake for the month of April. Getting to know this company has been so fun, and gives me one more reason to visit Utah more often!

I don’t post a whole lot about my private life or relationships, more specifically my relationship with the Boss. As an adult I have learned that real relationships are difficult and sometimes ugly. I’ve never wanted to mislead anyone into thinking we are this fairytale couple but I also didn’t want to share the details of all the good, the bad, and the ugly so I have left the details out for the most part. This year is shaping up to be one of our best years as a couple. I am so excited to be in

I can hardly believe it’s 2013 already! It’s a shocker but to be honest I am glad. 2012 got pretty ugly at times for me. So many wonderful things happened in 2012 but when I look back as a whole I feel like this past year has done a number on me and to be frank I am ready for a new year. On the up side I’ve spent the last days of 2012 with close friends and family and have had some spare time to contemplate the pending year and what I want it to be. I felt like last year I was sort of in victim
