Healthy oatmeal banana cookies!

These cookies are so easy to make and OH SO TASTY. Nomz. And they smell so good, ugh. Just thinking about it makes me want to make more.

~Favorite healthy breakfast ideas!~

I'm obsessed with eating healthy, and just food in general. I was asked what kind of stuff I eat to stay healthy, so I'm making a post about it!

Favorite healthy breakfast ideas!

My first breakfast idea is OATMEAL! Yes. Oatmeal. I eat oatmeal for breakfast at least 6 days a week. It's so yummy and easy to make. My favorite ways to make it are:

• 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup milk, cinnamon, and berries
• 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tsp cocoa powder, 1 tsp natural sugar, 1 TBS peanut butter (+ sometimes a banana)

When it comes to healthy, homemade is always the way to go! I love having homemade waffles and instead of covering them in syrup I cover them with fruit. Nomz :3

Can you tell that I love bananas yet? Fruit salad is a delicious and healthy idea for breakfast. I don't usually have only fruit though, cause that's not enough to keep me full for too long. I like having fruit with homemade plain yogurt or storebought plain greek yogurt. SO YUMMY.

 SMOOTHIES! I love smoothies. They're very easy to make and they are so delicious and refreshing. I always make mine with 100% healthy ingredients, I don't like to add sugar or anything like that. My favorite smoothies to make are:

• Frozen strawberries, water+vanilla protein powder, and a handful of spinach
• Frozen banana, milk (+sometimes 1 TBS peanut butter or TBS mini chocolate chips)

Lastly, I like having fruit with almonds. Almonds with apples are SO GOOD!

There are so many other healthy breakfast options out there, I only listed a few of my favorites. So I hope you got some new ideas and I hope you will all try eating healthier!

I will eventually be making a favorite healthy food ideas post for lunch and dinner so stay tuned! x

~Newest addition to my room!~

Evenin', chaps! How has everyone's second day of spring been? Mine's been fantastic! I went to apply for a job at Cracker Barrel today, and I have an interview on monday! I really hope I get the job, I love that place. 

I wore this adorable top. I posted my whole outfit on my Instagram!

Anyways, I just can't help but admire the newest addition to my bedroom decor. 

Lanterns! <3 They are so pretty and they light up the whole room. 

I have them framed along the side of my bed. I've been wanting some pretty lighting for my room for awhile, and these look great with the rest of my decorations.

They weren't expensive and they were easy to hang up. If anyone wants a to know how I hung them up/where I got the supplies, let me know in the comments!

Clothing haul!

Happy first day of spring! I've been so happy that spring and sumer are coming up! To celebrate the first day of spring my friends and I went clothes shopping and we found some wonderful things! 

 I got things from Forever 21, Body Central, and the thrift store!

 So, first we went thrift shopping. Thrifting is one of my favorite things to do! The Salvation Army by my house was having a 50% off sale for ALL clothes, so obviously, I HAD to go.

The first thing I got was an ADORABLE black and white polkadot dress with red trim at the bottom. This saturday my friends and I are getting dressed up nice and we're going out so I wanted to buy something new and when I saw this, I almost died. It fit PERFECTLY, too! It's fate, really.

Then, I got this adorable black and white striped button-down top. The tag says H&M, but I got it for 2 bucks.

These are the other 2 tops I got! I also got an adorable pair of shoes that fit me perfectly, I love them!

You know how at every thrift store you go to, there are always a plethora of butt-ugly floor length dresses? Well, I found some with sweet floral patterns and bought them because I want to try doing some major alterations on them. I can't wait to see the final product! I'll deffo be blogging it when they're finished.

After we were done thrifting, we went to the mall. I wanted to find some pearls to wear with my new dress and I found a perfect strand at Body Central!

Ok, for my birthday, my best friend got me a Forever 21 gift card(best friend ever? I think so). So, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS MINT-COLORED BEAUTY I BOUGHT. 

Bask in its amazing perfection. It's covered in cats. Heck yes.

Oh, and last but not least, here is my last thrift-store find of the day. A t-shirt, WITH CATS. Oh yes. :3

I can't wait to get working on the dresses I bought! I hope you lovelies had as wonderful a first day of spring as I have had.

DIY: Easiest shirt reconstruction!

I promised I'd post a DIY soon, so here it is!

I used a boring old turquoise shirt I never wear.

First thing I did was I cut around the collar so that it would be an off-the-shoulder top.

Next, I put the shirt on and marked where I want the bottom of the shirt to be cut. I marked on both of the side seams.

Then, I cut along the line on the BACK of the shirt only.

Next I measured from the front how many inches wide the shirt is from each side seam. 

After I measured, I marked where the middle was and marked a couple inches down on each side. This is where I will be cutting for the tie.

Then, I cut along the shirt like I did on the back, until I got to where I marked. I went down diagonally from the mark and did the same on the other side.

Lastly, I cut up the middle of the triangle and tied it off.

And here is is the finished product! I ended up going back and cutting it a couple inches shorter than I originally did and turning it into a crop top so that the tie would be longer. I love it!

I hope this DIY was helpful and I hope you enjoy your new, cute shirt!
