My PSL

Okay guys I'm just going to say it STARBUCKS, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER! You don't "run out" of the Pumpkin Spice Latte in SEPTEMBER! That's idiotic. I'm sure not all Starbucks establishments aren't out but mine is and I'm downright offended. So I thought I would share my easy Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe.  

• 1 cup skim milk
• 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
• ¼ tsp pumpkin spice
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• ¼ cup hot espresso coffee (see below)
• whipped cream for topping (optional)
• cinnamon powder for topping (optional)

1. Mix milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, vanilla extract and sugar. Microwave for 1½ minute, until hot. Whisk until all the ingredients have dissolved.
2. Put espresso coffee and pumpkin milk mixture in a mug or cup and stir.
3. Top with 2-3 tbsp whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon powder. Serve immediately. I skipped the whipped cream because, calories.

Fast Tip:

To make espresso coffee: Mix 2 tbsp instant coffee with ¼ cup hot water. Stir well until the coffee crystals have dissolved.

Have a great week, hope you are properly caffeinated on this Monday!

My Autumn Bucket List

I'm exhausted.

As you may have gathered from my pervious posts Contemporary Photography had a very very busy, hectic, summer.  With shoots and meeting basically every day our life has been very much all work and little play. Also this is the first Fall/Winter season I'll be able to enjoy in years since I only have one job and no longer work in retail. So we have decided to make the very most of this Fall season and stop and smell the pumpkin spice. What better way to do this than make a fall bucket list?!

I hope this September brings you so much fabulous.

Now who is ready for a PSL light right now?

So Much More

It's Martini Moment time! I was in the shower the other day and looked on one of my shelves at the Baking Soda and thought that some people may find that odd that there is Baking Soda in the shower. That got me to thinking about the basically endless possibilities that it has to offer besides just actual baking. I thought I would share some of those things.  

Mix it with:

Exfoliator: it evens out the Ph balance of your skin and will remove a spray tan

Shampoo: it removes any left behind product

Bath salts: for detoxing

Water for your flowers: keeps them healthy

Water to make a paste: for itchy bug bites

Happy Friday Pretties! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
