Chia Seed Pudding Recipe

hey babes! so as you know, I started college a few weeks ago. college has been amazing so far, and so many things are changing! one thing in particular that has changed is that I have many more food options, and most of them are not too healthy. to stay on track and keep eating healthy, I decided to try a DIY for chia seed pudding! chia seeds are the tastiest treat when made into pudding (you can also put them in drinks!), and they are a type of superfood so they are really healthy! they have tons of antioxidants, protein, and so many more nutrients, but they're almost no calories! they also make you healthy in general, and prevent certain types of sickness, which is amazing! chia seed pudding is the perfect breakfast if you want to be healthy but at the same time need to eat quick before class. 

this is the batch I just made:

ingredients you'll need:

- 2 cups of almond milk (I used the original flavor from the company Blue Diamond)

- 1/2 cup of chia seeds! :)

- 2 tablespoons of honey 

directions:

combine almond milk, chia seeds, and honey into a big bowl (or big cup) and stir for 2-3 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken. then store it covered in the fridge for 3-4 hours. and that's it!

this makes 2 large servings; perfect for a healthy, yummy breakfast!

well that's it! hope you guys liked my very first food DIY post :) more to come soon!

Botanical Gardens Trip

hi loves! the other day I went to the Botanical Gardens; my parents and brother visited me at college and we went there for the day. we had a picnic on the grass and walked through the different exhibits and gardens! it's so convenient because it's right across the street from my school :) so this is sort of an aesthetic/surroundings post because it's literally so beautiful there right now. going there was so refreshing! here are some of the areas I went to in the Gardens:

and here's a picture of some cacti/candy skulls I saw in the gift shop! it was the coolest thing ever, and I actually bought one of the cacti!

so that's it! hope you guys enjoyed this aesthetic-type post :) more to come soon!

Workout Clothes Haul Part 2

hey loves! so I am making this blog post as I sit in my dorm :) it's crazy to think I have been living at college for 2 and a half weeks already! it has been a little while since I last posted; things have been so crazy with moving into college and adjusting to everything! luckily I will be starting to post more often now because I'm starting to get used to my new schedule :) 

I mentioned in my last post that I would be getting more workout clothes and doing another haul, so here it is! I've been really into workout clothes lately; I love fashion in general, so buying cute workout clothes really motivates me to exercise! I love pairing basic colors (like grey or black) with bold colors to complete the look :) here are all the things I got!

so first I got Nike running sneakers because I've really needed a good pair of running shoes!!! in real life they are more purple, which is my favorite color so it works heheh. 

next I got these bright yellow NIke spandex running shorts, which are really great for if you're going on a night run and want to be cautious  about cars, other people, etc. 

now onto sports bras! I've really been loving the colorful ones :) this one is a brand called Marika, and I really like the strap detailing in the back!

this purple sports bra is from New Balance! it also has a slightly different style from regular sports bras, which I like.

and finally, I got this tank top from a company called Jo & Co. this is a basic tank that I like to pair with a colorful sports bra and either grey/black leggings or shorts!

hope you guys liked this haul!! I am going to do a dorm tour soon so stay tuned for that :) also, I will be doing a lifestyle post on what college life is like!

more updates soon ♡
