The Sweet Smell of...Sweets. Cupcake Week Continues.

Posted by Steph Auteri

 

The above is photographic evidence that I am not entirely to blame for my obsession with cupcakes.

Or my fashion sense.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I've compiled a list of some sweet-smelling products for the cupcake-lover in all of us:

 

[$6, Etsy] 

Cupcake-scented deoderant. Initially, I thought this was ridiculous. But since I've just arrived home from hoop class, I've decided that I'd rather smell like cupcakes than...this.

 

 

[$17.95, Lush] 

As long as I don't mistake this cocoa-butter mask for the canister of frosting I keep hidden next to the bed, we'll be just fine.

 

 

[$5.99, Amazon] 

 Most of these car air fresheners make me nauseous from their sickly sweetness, so I can imagine this being a thousand times worse. Anyone have one of these?

  

[$10, Urban Outfitters] 

I don't care if lip glosses purposesly get you addicted to them by insidiously drying out your lips, as long as my lips taste like dessert. I'm also a fan of this tiramisu-flavored lipgloss that I once bought at Duane Reade (only the best).

 

 

[$1.99-$23.99, Bed Bath & Beyond]

I love scented candles. 

More cupcakey goodness tomorrow...

Oh god, I must have borrowed that sweatshirt from my mom. As I was scanning it in last night, I was thinking (hoping?) that I didn't recognize it as one of my own.

It's okay.  My favorite sweatshirt when I was a kid had an illustration of two ducks sitting in a row boat each holding an oar that said "Totally Oarsome!"  It really was totally oarsome.

    • about the blogger

    Alex Zalben is a writer living in New York City. He's written for McSweeney's, Modern Humorist and PulpSecret.com. As one-fifth of the sketch comedy group Elephant Larry, he has been written up in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and pretty much every other major publication. Their blog was named one of PC Magazine's Top Blogs for 2007, and they recently won an ECNY Award for their viral short, "Minesweeper: The Movie." Alex did not know love until he bought his first Mac.

    Diana Vilibert is a freelance writer, among other things. Born in Lithuania, she now lives in New Jersey, where she doesn't have to walk to work ten miles in the snow, barefoot, uphill both ways. Diana cannot afford most of the products she writes about because she buys too many pairs of heels to make up for her shoeless childhood. She's written for MarieClaire.com, Janemag.com, and CosmoGIRL!.

    Shaun Seneviratne is a dude just like anyone else. Just your average guy that raps Bone Thugs-n-Harmony to strangers on the subway at 4 a.m., doesn't chew his food because he believes it's a waste of time, and sleeps next to a scale replica of the Ghostbusters headquarters. He can rest easy knowing Egon, Peter, Ray, and Winston have his back. He currently lives in northern New Jersey, plays bass in Rapid Cities, and recently started a tumblr.

    Laureen Mahler is a writer and editor who lives in California, where the sun never sets and everyone rollerskates to work. She coedits Beeswax Magazine and spends the remainder of her time as a freelance writer and letterpresser. She truly believes that someday she will master the ultimate multitask of blogging while letterpressing, though that might mean that she'll need a second pair of arms.
