I Bet The Unicorn Wasn't The Only One Crying

You know those unicorn cakes that are all the rage right now? Like this?

(By Rosanna Pansino)

Well, this bakery tried to recreate one, and you guys...

It's just sad.

Huh. I always figured unicorn tears would be more glittery.

Megan's baker said she could make these Abby Cadabby cookies:

But instead, well, let's just say there were a lot of long faces at the party that day:

And finally, I think the next baker was trying to make this Tinkerbell cake:

SO CUTE.

Er...

Brace yourselves.

"Here's lookin' at you, screaming kid."

Thanks to Jean T., Megan P., & Paul P. for that PSA on the dangers of excess eyeliner.

P.S. Am I really going to use that Tinkerbell wreck as an excuse to mention my favorite liquid eyeliner?

Yes, yes I am.

Nano Liner

Listen, once you hit 40 you tend to want thinner eyeliners, in the hopes that at least SOME of your eyeshadow will still show under your drooping eye flaps. I transitioned from brush liners to felt tips years ago, and the Nano is my gold standard: crisp, thin lines, a flexible felt tip that makes wings vastly easier, and best of all, it costs less than $7, y'all. What whaaaaat. Trust me, buy two.

And from my other blog, Epbot:

The Cake Said WHAT?

When you see the same ol' "happy birthday" butchered day after day, you learn to cherish the cakes that break the mold and say something truly unique.

Whoah, thought that said something a little off-color for a sec!
(Who else saw "Jerk?")

Anyway, I've been collecting some of the better examples for ages now, and as I started scrolling through them today I realized they told a kind of story.

It helps if you imagine them as a conversation between two people.

And also if you're a little drunk.

BEGIN!

D'awww. Brings a little tear to the eye, doesn't it?
(I mean, who's giving away "chrildren?")

Thanks to Mike B., Julie R., Marissa D., Nancy M., Jack W., Anony M., Another Anony, Jennifer W., Bethany P., Libby M., & Julie N. for proving a cake can be worth a thousand questions.

P.S. Speaking of things that make your head hurt, a friend recently got me this gel cap for my migraines, and sweet icy Stay Puft, y'all, it's amazing:

Migraine Hot/Cold Gel Cap
 

 I have a huge head and a lot of hair, so it's pretty snug on me, but the extra pressure with the cold is heavenly during a migraine. I used to hold a cold pack and keep shifting it around from side to side, but this wraps my entire skull in a cooling hug. Ahhhh so good.

I keep the gel cap sealed in the fridge all the time now, so I can grab it as soon as a headache starts up. The cold does only last 15-20 minutes, but it's 1000% worth it in my book, highly recommend.
