True Life: I'm Obsessed With Smoothies

-
Over the past few weeks, I've been totally neglecting my blog. My days have been jam-packed with school, an internship and everyday life resulting in a lack of inspiration. And in a world of being burnt-out for days on end I kept scolding myself, "ah, I have to update my blog!"

Alas, here I am, unleashing my brain and letting my fingers type wildly. So how about a life update? You know what I've been totally obsessed with lately, smoothies.

Yup, I've been Pinterest deep-diving into all things delicious and smoothie-related for the past few weeks and it's been the bomb-diggity, ya'll. What's so great about a smoothie you might ask? Well, they're fast, portable and absolutely scrumptious and if that's not enough to sell you on it you're certifiably bananas (which are coincidentally an essential ingredient in most smoothies). I'm not quite sure what sparked my sudden irresistible desire to blend, but I had a Ninja hanging out in my pantry and it was time to put that baby to work. Here are a few of the best combos I've discovered so far:

Super Green ( Or what I like to call "the Green Meanie" because I'm Scream Queens obsessed...):
- Pineapples
- Spinach
- Banana
- Almond Milk
- Ice
- Water
- Oats or Chia Seeds


Blueberry Pancake:
- Almond Milk
- Cinnamon
- Blueberries
- Banana
- Nuts
- Oats


PB Banana:
- Peanut Butter
- Banana
- Almond Milk
- Oats


Annnnddd, now I'm hungry. These things are seriously delicious. We'll see how long my obsession lasts, but for now, the smoothie reigns supreme!

They don't call Milwaukee "Brew City" for nothing. If there's one thing we know how to do here it's brew beer! There are tons of great brewery tours throughout the city, one of the most popular being Lakefront Brewery on Milwaukee's East Side. http://bit.ly/2E1Bx9I Take the tour and learn the history behind Lakefront Brewery and the science that creates the beautiful nectar of the Gods we all know and love, beer. Lakefront Brewery has one of the most popular tours in Milwaukee and tickets sell out fast! Don't make the same mistake as I did and be sure to purchase tickets ahead of time online,but be wary, print is the only ticket option so be sure you have a printer handy. If you forget to buy tickets ahead of time or if you're printer is acting up(darn things, grrr) fear not, Lakefront now offers 20-minute "mini tours" Saturday evenings. Each tour is jam-packed with interesting factoids about sourcing, brewing and bottling beer, the

The American Horror Story Guide to New Orleans

New Orleans' rich history made for the perfect setting for season three of AHS, Coven. From Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau to deranged mass murderer Delphine LaLaurie, these figures weren't just characters in a TV show, they were real people who lived out their days in The Big Easy and who left their mark on the city forever. Now, AHS did take a few artistic liberties, for example, Laveau and LaLaurie weren't sworn enemies, in fact, they weren't even alive during the same time period. But AHS also got some things right, in addition to crafting Gris-Gris bags for healing and good luck Marie Laveau really was a hairdresser and Delphine LaLaurie was indeed as dark and sinister as portrayed. If you find yourself in NOLA and want to do some Coven-inspired sight-seeing here are a few stops you won't want to miss.  Marie Laveau's Tomb  Nestled in the famed St. Louis Cemetary No. 1 , you'll need to join a tour group to experience this piece of living history as it&

What to do in Crescent City

I recently checked a visit to NOLA off my bucket list and was impressed with all the city had to offer. A diverse mix of locals and tourists, music everywhere and an interesting art scene, our five days in New Orleans were well spent.  Exploring the French Quarter  Now I know that most people will tell you not to spend your trip trapped in the French Quarter, but man, there is just so much to see and do there. Odds and ends shops, tantalizing food and of course, booze, the French Quarter is jam-packed with excitement every which way you look. So, like the tourists that we were, we went against the abovementioned advice and spent a good chunk of our time exploring it and I'm glad to report that we didn't feel it was time wasted.  Once the home of early European settlements, the French Quarter has plenty of interesting history to explore including the intricate iron-detailed buildings that line the streets. Tiered and colorful, the architecture of this area is if
