Things That Taste Better Than Skinny Feels

Hiii- As I said in my first post, I am pretty sure that the title of this blog is false. There are a multitude of things that taste better than skinny feels. One of these things are cupcakes. I looooove cupcakes. No news there, but I should reiterate the fact that I went from eating at least one cupcake almost daily, to an occasional cupcake every once in awhile. This is probably the hardest thing I've had to face, especially when I always have cupcakes in front of me. I am not sure how it happens, but somehow people at work ALWAYS have cupcakes. It's killer. I also know myself well enough to know that once I take that first bite, I will eat like 2 cupcakes in 5 minutes. So, I have resisted, this weekend I decided I could resist no more.

I was in the Lower East Side to have brunch and go to the Tenement Museum with Katie and Adina. (Which by the way, is essentially taking a tour of my own apartment. The Rogarshevsky family had a bathtub in their kitchen, with essentially the same layout as my apartment. As the tourists looked around in shock that people lived that way, I looked around trying to find an innovative way to deal with my no dresser situation...) The Lower East Side is also home to Sugar Sweet Sunshine, an absolutely delightful cupcake place on Rivington. And after stepping in puddles the size of small pools all day, I needed a little Sugar Sweet Sunshine in my life. The cupcakes a great, moist, with just enough frosting. They are also cheap- $1.50 for a cupcake. Perfect. Not like Magnolia which is $2.50 for a cupcake with frosting that tastes eerily like mashed potatoes. I should say as a self proclaimed cupcake aficionado, Magnolia is not so good. I don't care if Carrie Bradshaw likes it, I want nothing to do with it and its crummy frosting. Sugar Sweet Sunshine on the other hand, I would marry I like it so much. I got chocolate with vanilla pink frosting and ate in on the street while walking Adina to her apartment. The perfect way to end a fun New York day.
