- The Cookie Showdown
What's your SIDE HUSTLE?? Dawnae Zachary is a government worker by day, and a COOKIE MAGICIAN by night! She makes the most delicious and beautiful sugar cookies you'll ever see. Today she shares her secrets to turning passion into a business, and we go head to head in a battle of epic decorating proportions!! (Don't miss our cookie showdown video on our Don't Mind If We Do facebook page to see who does it better- Robin or Chelsea??)
And we try Run PMC from Riot Brewing to wash them down! Carrot beer?
Here is a little info on the amazing Dawnae:
I've always love cooking and I started making sugar cookies for co-workers, friends and family. I was self taught and just loved learning something new. I started with finding the best tasting sugar cookie recipe and then learned by trial and error with royal frosting. From loving to be crafty and creative, I started making cookies and started to share it. After less than a year, I'm here making sugar cookies for birthdays, weddings, graduations and more and it's been such a fun experience for me to share something I've really enjoyed. @sugarcookiesbydawnae

We also sample SEA CIDER & rsquo;S & ldquo; Kings and Spies! & rdquo;

From Chelsea:
"I believe every woman should have beautiful images of themselves that when they look at them they get butterflies in their stomach and think "WOW that is ME!!" We all struggle at some point with our bodies and our skin and that likely never goes away so having an empowering boudoir experience where you can see what everyone else sees daily is so important for every one of us. I started boudoir photography because I loved how the white sheets looked with a confident, smiling woman in them. Over the years, it has turned into way more of a passion because of how women leave my studio feeling a new confidence and strength they forgot they had. I'm honored to meet so many incredible women in my studio and I highly recommend experiencing this at least once in your life or once a year. For your session you are fully guided through posing and you get pampered with professional hair and makeup and get access to my couture client wardrobe which includes 5 foot feather angel wings " - Chelsea Smith Find Chelsea anytime here: https://www.vintagechicportrait.com/ https://www.facebook.com/vintagechicportrait https://www.instagram.com/vintagechicportrait https://www.facebook.com/groups/underthewhitesheetsMake sure to check out the video on our FB page on how to pose at home!!
