Raspberry Lemonade

Have you ever wondered what sort of magic crack they have in restaurants that makes literally everything they serve so freakin' fancy? Like why is lemonade suddenly the most delicious beverage in the world when you are paying like $3 a glass? I don't know either! But I like the fruity crack lemonades so when I found this recipe, I was all over it. It comes out a pretty red pink color and it tastes amazing. New summer obsession! My suggestions? More lemon, less sugar syrup. And don't thaw your raspberries if you are using frozen But whatevs. It's your lemonade. Actually, will you share with me? I don't care if you don't take my suggestions, just share ok?

Holiday Movie Marathon & Hot Chocolate

Like I said when I introduced my winter bucket list, winter is a fraud. I like staying in to watch movies and drink hot chocolate. So that's what we did. Our marathon included: Home Alone 1, Home Alone 2, Home Alone 3, Die Hard, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Elf. It was a great day spent with my best friend!

Yum yum yum!

Hi Joey!

Friday Faves

It's Friday once again. What a busy week. I can tell you for sure Black Friday was not one of my faves this week. To the woman who yelled at me because we were out of the candle she was looking at earlier in the week, sucks to suck. Other than that, it was a pretty good week.

1. Interviews

I had two interviews for a possible barista position with two seperate Biggby locations. I'm pretty excited because I could really go for a more permanent position.

2. New Paddle

I love Mary Kate for thinking of me and making me a paddle. She is so dang precious and I love her to pieces for making me such a gorgeous piece!

3. Caramel Brulee Latte

OMG YUM! It's a good thing I don't have money right now because I'd be all over this every day. 

4. Joe

Joe took me to my appointment in Holland and to get my lab work done. I just appreciate his support so much these days. I wouldn't get through life without him.

5. Liam

Seeing that baby will always make my list even if its an unexpected visit home! 

Influenster Beauty Blogger: EBoost Daily Health Booster in Orange

Disclaimer: I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

And last but not least, from the Beauty Blogger Vox Box: EBoost. Honestly, I was hesitant and excited right up until I actually tasted it. So I've been putting off this post. Legitimately, been staring down the little orange packet sitting on top of my empty Influenster box for about a week now. But I finally got up the nerve, or just lost all motivation to do homework, and mixed the packet into a huge glass of water. And now that I've had about a half a dozen sips, I'm seriously considering dumping it down the sink. Not that it is bad. It's just too interesting for my taste. I've never had Emergen-C or Airborne or anything like that so I can't compare but if they taste like this, I wouldn't spend the money. And EBoost is pretty expensive. Depending on if you're buying from the company directly or if you are buying from Amazon, you're paying $1.25 to $1.40 a packet. I think the best way to describe the flavor is grown-up orange flavored medicine. Let's just see the pictures...

Pumpkin Spice Latte

I was trying to find a clip of Marshall's pumpkin latte jokes from How I Met Your Mother but the internet has failed me.... One of my favorite parts of autumn is pumpkin flavored treats. Pumpkin pie pop tarts have been hanging out in my pantry. So a pumpkin spice was a must on my autumn bucket list. One day after class, I decided to just go ahead and knock this one off my list while studying some anatomy. When I went to pay, they said I had a free one on my loyalty card! Gotta love when it works out like that. Biggby also has a pumpkin pie brew, an apple spice brew, and a salted caramel brew for the season that I'd like to try at some point but at $10 a bag, it will have to wait. The pumpkin latte at Biggby is a little more spice than pumpkin but it's amazing. It's also not overly sweet. I'm looking forward to a hot apple cider as well as their new fall beverage, the s'more latte!
