Plaid Flannel OOTD

I love fall!

Flannel is back this year and I am so happy about it. I love how perfect it is for fall and so comfortable. I am gathering a collection of plaid flannel shirts! I have purchased one from Aeropostale and a few from Target. I know Old Navy had cute and affordable ones as well. Not all of them are actual flannel, but they are just cute :)

I decided to do a pretty simple look for this first OOTD! The shirt I'm wearing here is from Target along with the boots. Jeans are from Buckle (Rock Revival) and the navy tank top is from Hollister. Necklace is from Claire's for the Katy Perry Prism collection. I love this look for fall because it's casual while still cute at the same time. My hair was curled from the day before so I just braided it into a loose braid. 

I decided to go with a sort of pink and cranberry colored makeup look using the Urban Decay Naked3 palette. Lashes are by Salon Perfect and they are the Demi Wispies (love). The lip color is by NYX and I am planning on doing a review of this and a few other lip colors by NYX in an upcoming post :)

 Of course I had to show off the new little addition to our family! We named him Cerbal after my sister rescued him. How cute is he? So so playful! As you might know, I seriously love animals.

Thanks for checking out this simple, casual, and affordable OOTD! I hope you liked it, there will be more to come! Computer hugs because I love this time of year!

Easy Detox Drink

The Simple, Easy Detox Drink

We have all heard of it, the dreadful detox. It sounds absoluetly miserable to be on a liquid diet for days. I found this little recipe for a single detox drink on Facebook. I have tried this three times only one meal a day. Some benefits to detoxing are it helps boost energy, rids the body of excess waste, helps with weight loss, helps build stronger immune system, improves skin, improves breath, promotes healthy diet changes, helps you think more clearly, gives you a lighter feeling, provides anti-aging benefits, and an improved sense of well-being according to bembu.com.

This is the recipe. How simple is this?! I had all of these ingredients already. This is so convenient for me because, as you know from a previous blog, I drink apple cider vinegar every day for its health benefits. Apple cider vinegar does not taste great on its own; this way, I can get the ACV (apple cider vinegar) I want without the awful taste! Of course you shouldn't detox every day. I would drink this when I am feeling I have been eating bad or my digestive system isn't working properly.

Here are the exact ingredients I used. One alteration I would recommend is to add less cinnamon. When I finished the drink after continuous shaking there was a lot of excess cinnamon on the bottom (and I don't care to do the cinnamon challenge). I think this tastes pretty good. I do put it in my shaker as I said and keep shaking it as I drink. You should drink this pretty fast and on it's own. I would also recommend 16 oz of water to really blend all of the ingredients, especially if you are skeptical about tasting the ACV. I couldn't taste the ACV when I drank this. 

Here is the finished result (click here to buy blender bottle). So, just blend, drink & enjoy! Let us know about your experience with this!
