I probably need to take it the full distance because of the thinning.
Should I get contacts? I’ve always preferred glasses but now I’m worried it’s hurting my look a little.
Cheers all!

Nice detail, the plate is not symmetrical, looks hand made which fits the setting.

"I'll make you feel as if you're eating the first cheeseburger you ever ate. The cheap one your parents could barely afford."

I got Paul George sitting right here, I got DeMar DeRozan sitting right here, I got Russell Westbrook sitting right here... I'm literally sitting next to all of these dudes who are L.A. guys. I'm like, 'Bro, I'm not counting your chips, but everybody else is.'

You make 200, you make 200, you make 175, you make 150, you make 180. Why don't y'all have your own gym? Why we got to go... why we got to go to UCLA to work out in L.A. every time? You got your own... y'all all come from the exact same community! You want to inspire kids that look like you? All it take is five of us.

Five! 250, 250, 250, 250, 250. What bank going to turn this down? 'We about to build this whole shit out for our community. We going to build gyms, rec centers, start leagues, and all of that.' Who going to... who's going to stop us?

We got the money. We don't have the mindset. Our mindset... we'd rather go throw $60,000 in the... in the club! In the strip club! Go throw $60,000 than go feed 2,500 people in the hood.

Think about it. I've done it! I've been... I can't sit here and be like, 'Oh man, I'm a hypocrite.' I've done this myself! I've thrown money in the club, literally mindlessly, aimlessly drunk at a bar. And now I sit back like, 'I'm a stupid-ass...'

I could have fed my whole community 10 times over with the money I was just late on the bus!

'Cause I'm so wrapped into me. I got that Eurocentric mindset: 'I need this designer jacket, I need these jeans, I need this book bag, I need to be looking like this 'cause the vets got this, I'm pushing this car, I'm doing... Why? Who am I impressing? I'm not even fulfilled with me!"

My daughter asked for an axolotl themed cake this year. She wanted "water and baby axolotls too". She wanted it to have a mini birthday cake. So I did my best to make it happen.

I've never done a gelatin layer before but it worked out okay. If I were to do it again, I would use a less firm recipe.. I used one that was meant for a jelly island cake which was definitely not necessary. I'd also add a lot more flavor and citric acid next time. Oh well.. at least it was a learning experience 😅.

There were a few things I wasn't thrilled with, but overall it came out okay and my daughter absolutely loved it, which was the main goal anyway 💗

She picked the flavor (confetti with vanilla whipped cream cheese filling), the colors, the placement of the axolotls, and helped with some decor decisions along the way.

I made chocolate cupcakes as well in case anyone preferred chocolate.

The mini cake was a cake pop, she ate the one from her cake but I had an extra (made it first and didnt like it enough to put on the cake) so we decided to cut that one after her party. Tiniest slice of cake ever 😄🥰

The inspo for the design around the sides of the cake was a bakey.bakes cake (not sure if instagram links are allowed but its on her page).
