the lisa margarita (and layla too!)

One of my most favorite people on the planet happens to be one, Lisa Margarita.  She and I met in college when we lived on the same floor in the dorm our freshman year.  Lisa, whose room was at the end of the hallway, would pass my room on the way to hers.  She didn't just pass my room though, she would often stick her head in and say something funny, flash me or do something else completely hilarious and sometimes slightly inappropriate. :)  So, obviously, I instantly fell in love with her!  A couple of years later, we ended up rooming together for the summer at Mama Wendy's house, where we'd do things like eat pints of ice cream (switching half way through so we could try each others) while we watched S in the C (remember that, Lisa?), take random trips to Ulta where we'd slather on absurd amounts of make-up, finger nail polish and perfume, so much so, we'd come out smelling ridiculous and looking like hot messes, and play beauty shop where Lisa would hook me up with some pretty amazing side-sweeping bangs!!

Lisa and I have the kind of friendship that is completely effortless.  We could not see or talk to each other for years and then pick right back up where we left off.  It's fantastic.  She's fantastic.

Lisa is an amazing person.  She's beautiful, generous, kind, incredibly funny and the girl beat a brain tumor.  What more could you ask for in a friend??  Nothing, people! Nothing.  She is fabulous and she is about to bring a little bit more fabulous into the world in the form of a sweet baby girl, who will be joining us sometime in June. 

The newest cupcake is in honor of this woman who I adore and am so thankful for and her sweet baby who I can't wait to meet and spoil!
