to start thinking of warmer weather, and lighter clothes.
And, by lighter, I mean light color!!!! We will be
seeing so much light pink, or at Pantone calls it “pale Dogwood”, this Spring and Summertime!
I am excited, I just love this color. How fabulous
are those pink flats? I also LOVE the pink ruffle
blouses and how about adding a pink bag to
your wardrobe? Happy Happy Spring!!!

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 inch pan
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated, stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt, stir into the batter alternately with the milk. If the batter is too thick, a tablespoon or 2 of milk may be address. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool in a wire rack. Dust with confectioners sugar right before serving.
Korean face masks are all the rage right now. I had been reading so much about these various sheet masks and how great they are for your skin. My instagram friend @thingseyelove2013 sent me a bunch of masks and I have been loving them. I actually just finished using a “soothing” mask. The craze is getting so huge that Barneys just installed a Mask Bar featuring 30 different types of Korean face masks. I thought you might want to try some of these masks at home. The most authentic ones come directly from Korea so if you cannot get to there this week!! or the Barney’s Mask Bar, I’ve got you covered. Amazon is selling some of the best authentic Korean masks. I absolutely love THESE and THESE and I just ordered THESE. Happy Masking!!!!
