Luckies Zipper Pulls by Kidrobot

We are a huge fan of Kidrobot toys and these super cutie zipper pulls definitely made our top 10 favs. They are just darling to look at. How could you NOT smile? You can dangle them on your favorite zipper hoodie, gym bag or wallet. These Luckies Zipper Pulls are said to bring TONS of LUCK so take them with you where ever you go!

Mari introduced me to these so I just had to get her some for her birthday

One note: the Luckies Zipper Pulls come in blind boxes so you won’t know which one you’re getting. We think the idea of not knowing what you’re getting is charming. It’s like getting a little surprise gift for yourself. How exciting!

How to Make Super Cute Piggy Pancakes

Mari is pretty much a genius when it comes to finding adorable treats that are fairly simple to whip up…or at least she makes it seem that way. Her item of choice today is a splendidly charming piggy pancake, no doubt inspired by our piglet friend, Bao.

The recipe below is direct from Betty Crocker and makes 10 delightful pancakes. Only 25 minutes to prepare. Click the play button below the instructions to watch the how-to video.

Here’s what you’ll need:

2 cups Original Bisquick® mix
1 cup milk
2 eggs
Fresh blueberries, chocolate chips or raisins

Step by Step Instructions:

1. Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat or to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, milk and eggs until blended.
2. Lightly oil griddle. For each pig face, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter onto hot oiled griddle. Pour scant tablespoonful batter onto griddle for snout and another scant tablespoonful for ears.
3. Cook pancakes until edges are dry. Turn; cook until golden.
4. To serve, place large pancakes on individual serving plates. Place 1 small pancake in center of each face for snout; poke 2 holes for nostrils with end of handle of wooden spoon. Cut second small pancake in half for ears; place at top of face.
5. Use blueberries for eyes. Or like the video, use blueberries for snout and chocolate chips for eyes. (LIVINGcute prefers the former over the latter)

High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): No change.

Success Tip:
Flip pancakes only once! Repeated flipping will toughen the pancakes. Pancakes are ready to flip when they’re puffed, covered with bubbles and slightly dry around the edges. Cook the other side until it is golden brown.

Cute Birthday Cards by Fomato

My girlfriends and I were talking about birthday cards not too long ago. We all kind of realized, the older we get, the more we appreciate them. We like seeing how the card we pick out totally matches our personality and we love going home after our birthday party to read all the cheesy good stuff inside. It’s funny how after all these years, we still have something nice and sweet to say to each other specifically on our birthdays.

Today is actually Mari’s birthday and we’d like to wish her a very happy birthday…with an adorable card she’s found herself (Mari always find the cutest cards).  This super duper cute card is from Fomato and is less than $5.00.  And I believe this card is so appropriate because we never say NO. We are YES people and we often joke about how we’d just love to say these two foreign letters to everyone we see all day long.

So here’s to you, Mari: your special day to say H*LL NO to anyone and everyone!

Happy Birthday!!!!

Yes, you ARE fabulous

How to Make a Cute White Gummy Bear Cocktail

LIVINGcute is definitely huge a fan of Gummy Bears (aka Gummi Bears). It’s a cute, mini, colorful bear treat that we all grew up with and love indefinitely. And of the entire bunch, isn’t the very best flavor the mysterious tropical WHITE bear????

Well, Mari, our very own cute beverage specialist, was informed by a little bird, a fantastic concoction that tastes exactly like the white gummy bear candy. No exaggeration. The recipe is unique and it will definitely taste better and more accurate than any you find on Google.

Required Ingredients:

• 1oz raspberry vodka (or a bit of white cranberry for a virgin drink)
• 1/2oz sweet and sour
• 1/2oz peach schnapps
• Splash of sprite

Mix!

The great thing about this mini-cocktail is that you can adjust to your liking and it will pretty much taste the same. Of course we like our drinks on the stronger side…maybe that’s why I can never wake up after our GNOs…

Enjoy! It’s a cute drink to start any night out!
