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...

My 100th Post

My 100th post, well this seems momentous.  A measly 100 blog entries may not seem like much to the seasoned writer but for me this feels like something worth celebrating. There are days I have the nagging feeling I should write more, but inspiration can be a tricky SOB. Luckily, there are also plenty of times when words begin to flow effortlessly from my fingertips creating some sort of wacky treat to be shared on this very domain.  https://static.tumblr.com/1df2ace841283819dd2d135a9375256f/kjwr8ge/HZYo0k4n4/tumblr_static_tumblr_static_80zqtbx2txs8wcs8woo0ksw8g_640.jpg My writing has undergone quite the metamorphosis. The literary version of Neville Longbottoming if you will. After completing two years of journalism school rereading my previous entries can legitimately be cringe inducing. Oh yes, there are grammatical eye-sores aplenty and I am totally guilty of pressing the "edit" button to atone for some of my past sins.  http://68.media.tumblr.com/0c...
