Swedish Snow Chocolate {with King Arthur Flour}

Oh my goodness. I’ve discovered something totally new to me: WHITE hot chocolate, and it’s amazing. 

AND it’s Friday, which means a vlog. So let me break it down for you!
As my mom said, “It’s like liquid frosting.”
Can you think of anything better?
It’s thick, rich, and inspired by Sweden with almond, nutmeg, and pearl sugar. 
Don’t get all late-winter-cynical on me, pining for beaches and the lake. Since it’s snowing beautifully out my window, and hopefully yours, I highly suggest you make this hot cocoa and settle in for the weekend. Spring will be here soon, and then you’ll wish you could find a snow drift to cool down in! 
Next week there is still another baked goodie or two to share, and a few other fun things, so have a great weekend and I’ll see you next week, friends!

Coffee Date Vlog 4

Happy Friday!
And now the random things!
1.) Seriously, if you haven’t tried the snacks from yesterday’s post, I highly recommend them all! I love being a small blogger because it means I can write about whatever I want…including SNACKS!

2.) I saw Lee Strobel speak this week. Y’know,
The Case for Christ: A Journalist’s Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus (and Case for a Creator, Case for Easter, etc.) author? So that was kinda cool. Until he walked by me and sis-in-law taking photos in the hallway with my remote and the camera stacked on a bunch of random stuff as we dissolved into giggles over trying to get a picture (of us, not him). So that was kinda awkward.
3.) Some people are getting Emerald Green and Kelly Green confused, even major fashion bloggers. Emerald Green is the 2013 Color of the Year and it is a jewel-tone, meaning it is dark, saturated, and rich-looking with a blue undertone. Kelly Green on the other hand is much brighter and yellower.

I love them both, but I just had to get that off my chest. Stepping off soapbox now.
4.) I sure hope no one ever looks at my Google Search History. Because I seriously just Google-d “How to Sell Your Life Story for a Movie.” Yep. 
5.) You guys, “We Bought a Zoo” is no longer available at my RedBox. How do they expect me to watch it, HUH? I would like to know!!!!!!!!!! #caffeinecrazy
Over and out, my friends! Have a great day!

Weekend Bonus! Makeup Vlog

Hi friends! I hope you’re enjoying your Saturday! I’m getting ready to head out for lunch, but I thought I’d just pop in and share a video about my basic, everyday makeup routine. When I am just doing this in real life (and not talking to the camera!), it takes me under 5 minutes to do this start to finish.
Starring (In Order of Appearance):
CoverGirl TruBlend Mineral Makeup (bummer, looks like they changed it a bit)
Discontinued Lola blush color, but here is their website
Sonia Kashuk for Target blush (looks like travel version is sold out)
Discontinued Smashbox Palette, but this one and this one look similar
(makeup bag is Estee Lauder freebie :-))
If you’re looking to add something dramatic, check out my False Eyelash Tutorial. Love false eyelashes, they don’t have to look fake or tacky.

Like I said, I am no makeup expert by any means, but I do love to see other people’s routines and favorite products, so I thought I’d share mine. Is this similar to your everyday routine? 
Have a great Saturday!

Coffee Date Vlog 3!

Crazy to think it’s been 3 weeks since I started this fun vlogging thing, but it’s true! Lighting is such a massive issue in my house, so again, sorry for the terrible lighting. Ugh this gets more embarrassing every week and yet I love it!
Now, the fun little things:
1.) See all of the new pretty little social media buttons on the right sidebar? Catch me on some other social media platforms for extra so-called wit/dorkiness/useful content/music/etc. 
2.) Modcloth’s big sale is sadly no longer happening, but they always have amazing stuff in their sale section, and their prices overall are fantastic anyway. Shop ModCloth
3.) Don’t you think it would be awesome if I traveled around and spoke about faith-based fashion? I kind of think it would be super awesome (but I might be a tad biased!).
4.) I’m so very excited to have Lily & Light on my sidebar this month! Ya’ll shout out to sweet Kristin!
5.) I really want these. Really, really, want these floral striped staws!

Linking up with Rags to Stitches for Coffee Date!

That’s all for now, but as you can see, I’m a bit #caffeinecrazy so I might be back later 😉

Coffee Date Vlog

Vlog #2!
Woo hoo!
My utter dorkiness is real, live, and unedited in all its glory…
Since it’s my second vlog, go ahead and laugh at me.
And also, sorry for the weird lighting. The sun is playing peek-a-boo today.
Linking up with 5ohWifey and Rags to Stiches! 
Here’s vlog #1, in case you’re interested.
Happy weekend!

Coffee Date Vlog

Happy Friday! 
Today I’m trying out something totally new: a vlog or video blog! 
Nothing monumental, just a “coffee date” chat and linking up with Rags to Stitches!
Um, so, like, this is me, you guys (embarrassed look). This is my first vlog so go easy on me!
Let’s see, what else is new? 

1.) I wrote about my beloved New England state, Vermont, for Elembee blog.

2.) You can “like” me on Facebook now! (if my video hasn’t scared you off!) I share a lot of new stuff on here that isn’t on my blog. 

3.) This post went a little crazy on Pinterest. Have you tried it, or pinned it for later?
4.) Here’s a link to the book I mention in my vlog.
Have a great weekend, my dears!
