My New Favourite Blog

Bakerella might just be the best thing ever (besides actually eating cake).

Below, Janine Rewell's "Tan Lines", originally seen here. A fantastic idea, although it would definitely make me feel less squiffy if it was a spray tan. Not sure anyone really needs encouraging to use sun-beds...
