Treat of the Week: Root Beer Float

Hello! I decided to start a new weekly post on my blog called "Treat of the Week" ( #totw ). This week, I decided to feature one of my favorites, a root beer float. I make my root beer float a little differently due to the fact I am lactose intolerant. I instead use Lactaid Vanilla Ice Cream or Soy Vanilla Ice Cream or Coconut Vanilla Ice Cream. 

I hope you enjoyed! Now go make one for yourself!

My Adventures to the Cape...

As the weather got warmer a month ago, I started to go to the Cape. I have been two times so far, and hope that as the summer progresses I can go a few more times. I took pictures while I was there, and here are some of them:

My friend, Anna, on the rocks :)

4-24-15: Breakfast

I made breakfast this morning, and it was absolutely delicious.

I have made this one a few times before. so I figured I would share it with you.

What you'll need: 

• Vanilla Almond Milk
• A bowl
• Walnuts
• Almonds
• A banana
• 2 strawberries
• A handful of blueberries
• Flaxseed

I started out by taking out the fruit I would be using, and then I rinsed the berries.

Then, I cut the strawberries and the banana. I placed all the fruit into the bowl,

topping the fruit with walnuts, almonds, and flaxseed. Then covered the fruit and toppings with vanilla almond milk.

If you try to make this, take a picture and tag me ( @foreverlovegrace ) on instagram!

Beginning of Spring: Photoshoot

The other day my best friend, Veronica, and I had a little photo shoot. It was the first warm day we had seen it months, and it finally felt like spring. Naturally, we were extremely excited. Veronica did my makeup and helped me choose an outfit, but I ended up taking more pictures of her. (I prefer to be the photographer instead of the one being photographed)

I love the pictures, and my dog even joined in at one point, so without further ado, here are our pictures: (she's the blonde)

Yes, we were wearing the same jacket, she borrowed mine, lol.

Meet My Dog : Shunderson

Hi! For this post I thought you all could get to know me a little bit better.

I have decided to introduce you to my dog, Shunderson. He is a golden retriever who is turning 5 years old in a few days.

I think he's quite the poser, haha. His name comes from an old Cary Grant movie where the character Mr.Shunderson was Cary Grant's loyal companion. A loyal companion is exactly what Shunderson is. The sweetest dog you'll ever meet, the worst he could do is lick you to death.

I hope you liked meeting my dog. :)

Have a beautiful day my lovelies!

Must-Haves In My School Bag for 2014-2015

 It is almost the end of September meaning it's that time of year again. Yep, school. So in the spirit of the school season I decided to tell you some of my 2014-2015 School Bag Must-Haves.

First off you need your school bag which you will most likely be using all year to carry all your binders, writing tools, folders, notebooks, and sometimes other things like your computer, tablet, and phone (who I am I kidding, sometimes? I need my phone always). Your school bag is very important so you must make sure it is appropriately sized and durable for what you are carrying. 

My bag as of right now is my Vera Bradley. I may get a new bag this year, but in past years this has worked perfectly.

One must have that I always carry in my bag are MINTS. In some schools you can't have gum, and when it loses its taste it can taste very bland. Gum also causes gas (I bet you're all saying "ew." right now). So I like to take Mentos or Ice Breaker Mints, and I will have at least one everyday after lunch. I don't want to have horrible breath when I am talking to my classmates for the rest of the day after lunch, and also I hate when I have a disgusting taste in my mouth. Mints are lifesavers (I didn't realize that that could be taken as a pun till after I typed it, I am sorry, ahah).

Another Must-Have of mine is a handsanitizer. I prefer a Bath & Body Works one because that way your hands don't just smell like alcohol or cleaning product. In school you touch a lot of germs and you don't want to be getting sick, so it's important to use that before lunch and after gym, and whenever else you feel like using it.

A mini pocket mirror is also a good thing to carry in your bag for daily check ups on your makeup and to make sure you have nothing on your face or in your teeth. That is a Must-Have.

My final must have for this post is extra pens/pencils. In your bag you should try to carry 1 or 2 extra pens and/or pencils in case you forget you pencil case.

Comment some of your school Must-Haves :)

Okay, I hope all of you are doing well, and if you aren't right now remember I LOVE YOU.

xoxo,

Grace
