Hey! So I don't know about you, but on school mornings I HAVE to have my coffee in order to function. Lately, since it is Spring and the weather is getting warmer, Iced coffee has been my go to. But just plain coffee is boringgg so I decided to turn my coffee into a latte. This latte is sugar free but you would never guess!!!
What I do is take my Yeti cup and fill half with ice. Then I pour however much iced coffee I want into the cup, and fill the rest with unsweetened almond, cashew, or coconut milk. Next, to add sweetness, I use stevia drops. I LOVE stevia drops because they are a healthier alternative to sugar and come in a variety of fun flavors such as chocolate, carmel, french vanilla, peppermint, coconut, etc.. I do about about a whole dropful of whichever flavor stevia I use. Lately I've been using chocolate and carmel to create a carmel macchiato effect. Finally, I stick in a cute straw, take my latte, and am off to school :) Hope you enjoy my go to coffee drink and try it out!!! -xoxoxo Aves

It's been awhile (sorry about that). I wanted to start up my blog again and thought this would be the perfect post to do so. Here are a few of my fav fall necessities <3 Currently drinking: MATCHA Okay so I recently tried to cut my 2-3 cups of coffee a day habit (because y'all I was ADDICTED). To do this I started drinking matcha! Matcha is a type of powdered green tea. It is equivalent to 10 cups of green tea!!! This means that by drinking it, your getting A LOT of caffeine, and 10x the antioxidant benefits of traditionally steeped green tea. The caffeine in Matcha is different from the caffeine in coffee because it is gradually released and absorbed. You know how when you drink a cup of coffee and instantly feel a rush of energy, and about two to three hours later you need another cup? Matcha tea does the opposite. You feel the caffeine in matcha for at least 3-7 hrs (depending on how your body processes it.) Here is my fav matcha product thus far: (fyi I am new to the Matcha tea world) What I'm snacking on: • apples w cinnamon sprinkled on top •eggs w guacamole ( basically a hard boiled egg but with the yolk is replaced with guacamole What I am wearing: Town Square in Southlake is getting so many new stores... which I loveeee. I recently shopped at the new Madewell and Evereve. Madewell has the BEST jeans! They are SO comfy and make a variety of styles. My problem, when I try and find jeans, is that they are always too short or don't reach my waist. At Madewell I found a style of jeans that fits "long" for people that have long legs like me lol. They also make short and regular jeans;). My sister has the opposite problem of me so she loves how they make short jeans. Evereve is a great store to find unique clothes. They carry a variety of clothing brands, including (my fav) FREE PEOPLE!!! They are one of those stores that constantly are changing their inventory so you don't get bored. This store has more classy and dressy clothes. Currently obsessed with: HYPNOTIC POISON. I love spicy and warm perfumes, so this one is perfect for me. It smells mysterious and is very entriguing. BUM BUM CHAPSTICK. This stuff makes my lips feel so lucious and soft. It smells amazing too. Not to mention it is the same brand that makes the famous Bum Bum cream I'm in love with! Currently working on: Being positive.
I struggle with looking on the brighter side of things. When things go wrong I like to throw a mini pity party for myself and think the worst. These negative thoughts start to impact my everyday life by creating a bad atmosphere for those around me. No one likes a negative nelly. I have realized how unhealthy this negative attitude can be on you mentally. In order to start being more positive and looking on the brighter side of things I am going to start making a list of 3 positive things that happen or I am looking forward to each day. I will either write it on my phone or notebook. This exercise is a great way to start developing optimistic tendencies and implementing a more healthy mindset :)

I want you to let go of everything that is stressing you out right now. I want you to take a deep breath, then another one, and another one. Sometimes a deep breath is all you can do in a situation. It is important to realize you cannot control everything; It's impossible.
If your a control freak like me, this might be hard to hear. But it's true, and once you start realizing it, life becomes easier. Trust me. I want you to write out a list of the things you can and can't control in your life. Now, for everything you wrote that you can control, branch out and make a plan on how you can make it better. This exercise will enable you to really see what you can control and how you can manage those things. Here is my list I made when I did the exercise above: Things I CAN Control:
Things I CANNOT control:
I want you to STOP focusing on the things you cannot control, and start to focus on what you CAN control. You control the PRESENT, not the PAST or FUTURE:) Creds to my aunt for showing me this amazing recipe. I make a big batch of beans at the beginning of the week, so that I have it for the rest. These beans are sooooo good with avocado on top, nutritional yeast, and some chopped tomatoes.
