 My mom and I will be traveling to  my grandparent’s house next week for Thanksgiving…fun! But, I didn’t want to miss out on the holiday with The Cupcakes, so I decided in the spirit of the day (THANKSgiving) to give them all a special treat from me I wrote each of my BFF’s a “thank you” card for being my friend and a part of my life. It’s really fun to do, costs little money, and it made me think of why I enjoy each Cupcake. Hope you have a delicious holiday as well! Jessica

A lot of celebrities have their own scents out now. Jessica Simpson’s “Fancy” has a yummy vanilla smell and Hilary Duff’s “With Love” smells likes sweet mandarins and lilies (Both available at Target). What perfumes smell yummy to you, Cupcake?
