Overnight Oats

I want to share with you guys one of my newly FAVORITE breakfasts.

Lately, I've been working on eating healthier. I saw myself gaining weight and noticed I was getting really tired all the time and becoming very lazy (lazier than usual that is.) I haven't been feeling so great about myself either and we all know that when that happens, everything in your life just starts feeling that less great. So finally, I decided I was going to do something about it because obviously what I was doing before (eating crap & not exercising regularly) was not working for me and wasn't making me happy.

I love this breakfast idea because you prepare it the night before, which saves you time in the morning and also prevents you from making impulsive unhealthy options. It's really simple, healthy, yummy, and you can change it up every day. Oh and not to mention, it's a great "on-the-go" option. (This is my favorite way to have it.)

You will need:
-A jar
-Rolled oats
-Almond Milk
-One Banana
-Cinnamon


*Any kind of oatmeal will work (rolled, or steel-cut) and any brand. Also, any kind of milk. You can use regular milk, almond, soy, whatever you prefer.



So its really simple. What you do is pour equal parts Oats and equal parts Milk in a jar. Im using a mason jar because yes I jumped on that mason jar bandwagon real quick. But you can use any jar you may have at home. Then, you let it sit in the fridge over night, take it out, and you'll notice the oats will have soaked up almost all the milk (depending on how much you put) then after that, all you have to do is throw in some cut up bananas and some ground cinnamon, and voila! Super easy, super simple breakfast!

Bath & Body Works Candles (Fall Edition!) & Blogging again!

It's that time of the year again! Yup, thats right. That time when I decide I want to fill the internet with a bunch of pretty pictures and reviews. Okay so whats happening is that its now October and I (like many of you) am half way through the Fall semester at school. At this point, I'm drained, stressed, and all I want to do is anything BUT study. So instead I decide to blog! This is terrible for my college career but it's great for you guys cuz you get to read about all the AWESOME stuff I buy. Yay! :)

Okay so the first thing I want to share with you guys is these three Limited Edition Bath & Body Works Fall Candles. I was at the Glendale Galleria here in LA this past weekend and I was given a gift card to buy anything in their store so I decided to buy some candles since thats the only thing I ever buy from Bath and Body Works for myself anyway.

Okay so these are the three I decided to try out:

Pumpkin Caramel Latte.
This one is definitely my favorite! It's subtlely sweet without it being too overwhelming. I like to keep this one open in my room even when I'm not burning it so my room will smell like it all day long!


Caramel Pumpkin Swirl.
This one smells a lot like the Pumpkin Caramel Latte. The only difference between the two is that this one is a lot more sweeter smelling. Still not overwhelmingly sweet but definitely a lot stronger. This one is definitely going in my living room since it's a bigger space.


Salted Caramel Corn.
This one smells soooo good it reminds me of Popcornopolis! If you don't know what Popcornopolis is, it's a specialty popcorn store that makes delicious gourmet popcorn in every flavor you could ever think of! Anyway this candle smells like a mix of deliciousness sweetness and popcorn!


These candles are the absolutely perfect way to get into the Fall mood. I'm so excited for summer to be over here in LA and for sweater weather to begin! It can't get here quick enough!
