Transition can feel kind of awkward.

It can also come with a ton of questions. What’s my next step? Where should I go from here? Who should I talk to? What do I want to achieve? The list of questions can be endless.

However, transition can teach us one important life lesson. PATIENCE. In a world full of instant everything, patience can be extremely hard. We know now more than ever why patience is a virtue. Working hard to move forward while waiting for the right opportunity to present itself is definitely no easy task. But, it definitely makes getting to the finish line much sweeter. Our philosophy…

In other words, BE CONSISTENT. Consistently work on yourself. Work on getting better, smarter, faster, stronger. Whether it’s taking a class, trying something new, or taking time to reflect, just work on making yourself better everyday. Consistent self-care makes that transition period a little easier and opens up the door to finding the answers all of your questions.

For instance, our first blog post wasn’t Mom’s first attempt at baking pupcakes. It was more like the 7^th. The first batch of pupcakes Mom attempted to make didn’t rise at all. The second batch completely stuck to the paper. However, she consistently practiced, continues to get better, and we’ve been blogging for over a year.

Consistency builds endurance and work ethic. It prepares you for any new opportunity that comes your way. Consistency sparks courage as well as evokes creativity and passion. It builds character, tells the world you’re ready for the next step, and readies you for the glow up.

These Apple Blueberry Oatmeal Muffin Pupcakes are dedicated to being consistent and the glow up that’s coming our way because of it.

And of course, we believe that every pupcake has a love story. So, while your favorite pup is PUPPY LOVIN’ on these pupcakes, we’d love to hear from you.

How has being consistent helped you glow up?
