Sweet Summertime: Smoothie Edition

I have now deemed this month's Thursday theme to be "Sweet Summertime." It may be raining outside right now, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the summer, right? You may remember the post I talked about last week all about the meal plan I'm currently on (click here to see). Today, I wanted to share with you all one of the recipes. It is super easy, quick, and delicious-- perfect for the summer.

The recipe calls for the following:
-1 cup calcium-fortified unsweetened soy milk (oops, we went with the vanilla kind)
-1 small banana (or 1/2 of a bigger banana)
-1/2 cup frozen berries of choice
-2 to 3 ice cubes

According to the plan, this would be a breakfast meal along with 10 almonds or 20 pistachios. Just put it in the blender, let it go...

And enjoy! It really is simple and tasty. I made this to go along with my lunch today and then proceeded to spill half of it on my couch. Oh well. No sense crying over spilt... smoothie.

Hello Mr. iPhone

You can follow me here!

The time has finally come, I have an iPhone! That means I now have an Instagram, and I would love for you to check that out. This way I can harass you with random pictures of my life (as if I don't do that on here enough already). More importantly, having this phone is going to make blogging & keeping up with you all a lot easier. That's something I'm very thankful and excited for.  I will be putting up this month's Thursday Theme later this afternoon! I'm very excited about this one, so be sure to come check back later today! Happy Thursday everyone.

Let's Go To The Beach

Usually I love the rain, but when it is supposed to rain all week during summertime, I just start to miss the sunshine. Right now I wish I was at the beach with my toes in the water and a cold drink in my hand. Since I can't quite do that without getting rained on, I figured I'd live vicariously through some old photos.

If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you want to go?

A Summer Makeup Tutorial

Today I am doing something new on the blog! Over the weekend I filmed a video of a fun, summery makeup look and I wanted to share it with you all. There's even some bloopers at the end! That's always one of my favorite parts. This is new to me, so let me know if you like it and if you would want to see more in the future. I had a lot of fun making it, I hope you enjoy!

A Haul For You All

After a few trips to the store, I've accumulated a few different products I wanted to share with you all. My hair has gotten pretty long and it's become a bit difficult to manage so I wanted to buy a few products that might help with that. I went to Ulta to find the Not Your Mother's Detangler, but it wasn't in stores. Instead I picked up the Tangle Teezer which I am convinced is a Houdini brush. If you have long or tangled hair, I highly recommend it. To help with serious tangles, I picked up Johnson's detangler because kids detanglers always seem to do a good job (who knows). I've seen a few tutorials using products similar to the Hot Tools Rollers, so I thought I'd give them a try as well, since my hair takes forever to style. I also picked up Target's Blackhead Scrub, NYC's Sunny Bronzer, and Orly's Rage; a few products I've been wanting to purchase.

Sorry about the short post! I have to write this quickly because tomorrow (well, today) I'm starting my first day of work and I have to be up at 6... which is a difficult task for me. Wish me luck. Are there any products you've recently purchased?
