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.

Hello Again!

Wow, has life been hectic lately! Between trying to work out last-minute get-togethers with friends who are all going off to different schools, shopping for new clothes, bookbag, supplies, etc., and trying to make the most of the summer, things have been absolutley wild!
First off, here's a collage inspired by today's adventures at the lake! :)

I know, I know...I've been a slacker :)

Sooo, I know I haven't been posting as often as usual, and I'm sorry about that! Not much has been happening lately, but we DID make a peach tart today! (Yum!) Here's the pics...

Delicious Fresh peaches from the market! Mmm...
All ready to go into the oven!
 Also, I recently had some Cordial Cherry Frozen Yogurt form the health foods store, and it just so happen to go with yesterday's outfit! It was very cute and very picture-worthy :)


Well, thats's about it for now! I've been much more active on Looklet, So if you want to see more you can check out what I've been up to there, my username is BlueEyedBlonde. These are just a few of my latest and favorite looks that go well with the rest of this post! :)

It's A Picturesque Life!

Today, my family baked a delicious strawberry-rhubarb pie! (My mom's famous recipe!) It was absolutely wonderful, not to mention beautiful! Between kneading pie dough and chopping fruits, I got to snap some good pictures of our creation! :)


Between weaving the lattice crust!

We made some yummy cinnamon sugar twists with the leftover pie dough...They were sooo good!!


The very first slice of pie! :)

It was great with vanilla frozen yogurt! :)


Afterwards we went to the pool to relax...Pretty great day if you ask me! :)
