My Honeybun Cake Recipe

i made it last night and everybody loved it..im making it again now..anywho..it doesnt take much and its sooooo good..in your free time..try it out

1 box of yellow cake mix (any brand)

8 ounce(1 container) sour cream

4 eggs

3/4 cup vegetable oil (maybe alittle more if you'd like)

4 tbs milk

1 tbs vanilla extract

1 tbs of ground cinnamon

1 cup brown sugar

2 cup confectioners sugar


Preheat the oven to 325...in a big bowl mix up the cake mix, the oil, the sour cream and the eggs..stir it up until the majority of the large lumps are gone...ooooh dont forget to grease *whatever* youre gonna put it in..long pan..the cake thingy with the part that makes the hole in the middle (bundt lol duh)..pam does fine..after youve stirred it up real good and the bundt is greased..put HALF of the batter in it..what you do now is mix up your brown sugar and cinnamon (you can do it in the measuring cup)..make sure its blended well and pour half of it in the batter..then mix it up..once its mixed real good..you can add the other half of the batter and do the same with the last bit of your brown sugar and cinnamon..mix it up good..put it in the oven for about 45 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean

Frosting

Take your milk sugar and vanilla extract..put it in a bowl and mix it..you can put it in the frig until the cake is done or make it after you take the cake out of the oven..be sure to put it on while its still hot though..

*Sidenote* I put an extra couple tbs of milk in mine..i didnt want it as thick..you can tweak it however you like though..

Enjoy!!!

Health Awareness

i know some people are like..whats the "brighter side" to getting sick..well..for me..it brought me closer to my bible..which is where i should have been all along..and with THAT being said..from reading it..ive gotten the advice i needed..from not only the word but from my dad..first of all..losing that weight..i dont see it as a terrible thing now..i know that what i gain will be from "healthier" foods..my goal is to stick with my water way more and the juices..but moreso the water..the pounds will come back in no time but im going to start my exercise up again so it wont turn into fat..the pilates and the yoga especially..maybe had i not stopped..i wouldnt have this problem with my neck or my back..ive come across some other ways or natural "cures" to help me out..as i experiment...ill keep everything documented..thought it shouldnt have taken me to get alittle under the weather to get a jump start on a healthier living..what better time to do so than now..

sunday "health scare" ..tuesday health awareness

so sunday..everything started off normal..went to church..came home..ate..relaxed..i even did my nails..as a matter of fact..i made it to work atleast 15 minutes ahead of time and got a round of applause lol..everything was going great until around 6..i started feeling tired just randomly..so im like no..i need to have a seat..i did what i needed to do and when everything got slow i told my manager i was going to sit out in the lobby where its cool..i sat there for awhile thinking that maybe i just got too hot and needed to cool off..more time passed and i noticed my hands began to shake and im still hot with this urge to sit down and take a load off..i pushed through and kept taking my orders until i just out of the blue i felt the tears coming to my eyes..not sure of why im crying but i let my manager know i needed to go to the restroom..im trying to catch my breath and figure out exactly why the tears are falling because i actually wasnt in any pain...i was sitting on the floor because i just felt too lazy to stand and i tried to regain everything back..after maybe 10 minutes i came back..i made the decision to not drive home so i called my mom and told her what was up..i did plan on working my full shift but i thought it would be wise to let them pick me up and one of them drive my car..about 5 minutes later..it hit me again..and this time way harder..i was literally gasping for air..i think the tears came from a possible shock..because like i said..i was in NO pain..i just couldnt catch my breath so it bugged me out..my manager came in and found me on the floor in tears so she took me outside then i called my aunt but she'd spoken with my mom and was on the way to get me..man..i was breathing just..crazy..dehydration is a TRIP..thats pretty much all it was..i got some liquids in me..so yesterday i was just drowsy..i slept the majority of the day..i stepped on the scale a few days ago and noticed i dropped from 117 to 112 and then yesterday to 111..which is very visible if my dad (of all people) pointed it out..so last night..i had like this pain from my lower neck and the upper right part of my back..where it came from..i have no idea but i couldnt sleep like i wanted to..today was much better..i got up out of the bed..i sat outside..my mom brought me some pain medicine but i still feel it so im not sure whats up with that..im actually on my sisters laptop in my room (in my bed) because Lord knows im not trying to sit at that computer..im going to cut this post short so i can get in into my next one on how im using this to my benefit...
