The most wonderful time of the year♥

 Hey there! ♥
So as we all know, the holiday season is upon us, and Christmas is right around the corner!
For me, Christmas means...
1) Giving AND receiving! ;)
2) FLUFFY EVERYTHING
3) Shopping like there's no tomorrow!
4) Beautiful Christmas decorations and music!
5) All the sweet treats that come with the season, including CHAI LATTES! ♥

I'm so obsessed with Chai, I swear it's unhealthy...

So I definitely wanted to share my recipe for homemade Chai with you! In my opinion, it's better than anything you can buy at a store or Starbucks! The recipe is here, and it. Is. AH-MAZING. My secret? Add a little bit of Hazelnut coffee creamer to sweeten it to perfection! I'd also advise using whole milk instead of skim milk, and sugar instead of artificial sweetener, it's not low-calorie but it's worth the indulgence! I sprinkle it with some extra cinnamon too, and let me tell you it's heaven in a mug :D

On to a few other random holiday-inspired pictures! :)

I'm feeling kind of inspired to do a post about my top beauty picks for winter, so hopefully I'll get that up very very soon! Thank you so much for reading and happy holidays! :)

Lots of ♥, Lex.

The Flood of Photos!

Here it is--The crazy amount of pictures that have been building up for a long time! Now, I have yet to get the perfect shot of my redecorated room, however I will as soon as possible, and maybe I can dedicate a whole post to it?! :)

Ahhh...Where to start? How about some nature pictures? :)

Really proud of this picture :)

Probably on of my favorite pictures that I've EVER taken!



Vulture! I saw TONS of these in a tree while I was out taking all these nature shots!


 And now for photos of a magnificent recipe I made that was created by Jamie Oliver! He has a show called "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution"! If you've never seen it, it's amazing--He goes around the world trying to return good, healthy home coking back to families everywhere. It will change the way you view what you eat! His cookbook is also AWESOME! This is the first recipe I've tried! I did it all myself, so that goes to show how simple it was, and it was absolutley amazing! Can't wait to try another one!

A few pictures I took after school...

 

And now for my Europe-Inspired outfit! I've been playing this new game on my iPod called "Fashion Story"! It's SO addictive, and I get inspiration for my outfits!



This says "Men | | Women" in French! We use it on our downstair bathroom...
My Nana (Grandmother on my mom's side) got it from Europe!

My Life in Pictures...

Hello, Dear Readers! :)
I promised pictures yesterday, so here they are! :)

Last Night's Dinner...A Homemade vegetable pizza crafted by  my family! It was the BEST pizza I have EVER  had!

 OKAY, so I promised I'd post some Summer-Inspired outfit pictures, so here they are! These are my Top Picks for Summer 2011!

#1) Loose Collared Shirts--I actually got this as a hand-me-down from my brother, who's 2 years older than me! :) I wear it to the pool over my bathing suit, tied at the waist with shorts, or both (Like here!)

#2) Comfy Graphic Tees--This is another hand-me-down from my brother, and I love it! It's SO comfy and casual!

#3) Nautical Stripes! I LOVE this shirt SO SO much! It looks great with everything!

#4) My favorite Thrifted Sun Hat! I add flowers, bows, whatever I want to instantly change the look!

#5) Last, but not least...My white beach cover-up! It's so comfy, sometimes I just wear it around the house!
