Doughnut Muffins / Always Order Dessert
You may remember Alejandra of Always Order Dessert as the inspiration behind my Mom's Lemon-Chocolate Birthday Cake and the stunning Italian Rainbow Cake that we ate on Christmas Day. She's been generous enough to provide Ramshackle Glam with one of her to-die-for recipes in my absence...can't wait to take this one for a spin myself once I'm back!

Hi Ramshackle Glam readers! My name is Alejandra and I’m the food blogger behind Always Order Dessert. Jordan asked me if I would be able share a recipe with you while she and Kendrick are off enjoying the sun and temperatures significantly higher than those here in New York so I thought I’d bring along my (and hopefully your!) new favorite treat—doughnut muffins.
Personalize Your Rental Apartment / A Charmed Wife
Remember my friend Lily from the Rent The Runway post? Well, today the lovely lady behind A Charmed Wife is here with some rental apartment personalization tips (for a few of my own, click here). Thanks so much, Lily!

While Jordan is on vacay (drink a rum punch for me, J!) she asked if I’d pop over and supply a post about something “home” related. Given that I am the world’s biggest homebody (true story: I was born at home, home-schooled through eighth grade, and now I work from home), I jumped at the chance to talk about my favorite topic.
Philly Day Trip / Happy Life In NYC
I used to travel to Philly occasionally to watch Kendrick's band perform, and I always thought it was a really underrated day-trip-from-NYC spot. Thanks so much to Philly native (and new blogger) Lauren for offering to show us around!

I am so honored to be guest blogging for Jordan! I adore her blog and it’s part of the inspiration behind mine. I am a native Philadelphian turned New Yorker, so there is nothing I love more than going back to my second home in Philly.
Cupcake Vineyards Wine
Dad and I came across Cupcake Vineyards wine at the wine store a couple of weeks ago, while shopping for Mom's birthday dinner (click here to check out the Lemon-Chocolate Birthday Cake we made). We didn't buy it, because we were on the hunt for a white...but I think it just sounds spectacular.
Listen to the description of the 2009 Red Velvet (about $12/bottle): "It's reminiscent of a blackberry chocolate cupcake with a mocha coulis. Shows an incredible nose of chocolate, deep rich blackberries, red fruits and a creamy mocha finish that is unmistakable in its intensity and length."
In other words, I would like to fill a bathtub with the stuff and roll about in it for hours, please.
Has anyone tried Cupcake Vineyards? Is it as wonderful as it looks?
