My Favorite Vegan Winter Drink

Even though California weather can be very unpredictable, it has been rather cold the past few weeks!

As the temperature drops, my daily tea intake increases substantially (even though I already drink an unhealthy amount on normal days). 

Some of my favorite teas are chai and earl grey, with a touch of cream. Lately, I have been warming and frothing my cream which is a total game changer! This Sur La Table frother is similar to mine, and not too expensive either :) 

With all that said, my go-to drink this winter has been a cacao chai tea latte!


♡ Starbucks mug from Disneyland Resort Anaheim ♡

Simple Vegan Cacao Chai Tea Recipe:

Ingredients

-1 tsp loose leaf chai tea
-1 tbsp organic cacao powder
-1 tbsp coconut sugar or agave
-3 tbsp non-dairy creamer or milk
-dash of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

Directions

-Prepare loose leaf tea in an infuser and place in mug with cacao powder
-Pour almost boiling water into mug and let tea and cacao steep covered for 5-7 mins
-Warm cream/milk while tea steeps
-Once steeped, add in sweetner
-Froth cream/milk with frother and pour over tea
-Lastly, top with cinnamon   ♡

Its so sweet and delectable! I love the combination of chocolate and chai :)

My New Diffuser! | NOW Ultrasonic Bamboo Diffuser Review

Recently, my $15 essential oil diffuser broke, so I figured it was time I make an investment (kind of). I started searching online and was looking for something sophisticated, yet not too abstract. My last diffuser started to look a little dingy, so I wanted something that was higher quality. Many of the diffusers I found online had some type of bottle neck, or vase shape ---- both of which I did not want. I liked the cylinder style, so I found a few that I liked and read some reviews to help me make my decision. The one I ended up getting was the  Now Foods Ultrasonic Bamboo Diffuser ! *This is a cold diffuser that maintains the essential oil properties through a cool mist, as opposed to a heat diffuser which will break down the goodness in the oils* The body has a bamboo finish, and has a small band on the top that displays a rainbow of colors if you put it on the light setting! I like this diffuser because it is pretty customizable. You can change your settings depen...

Modeling in San Francisco

A few weeks ago, I had the amazing opportunity to do a shoot with a friend of mine on a rooftop in San Francisco! A rooftop shoot has always been on my to-do list, so I definitely couldn't say no! ~To preface all of this, it was about 100 degrees in Walnut Creek that day, so we expected a high 70-80 degrees in SF, with a beautiful sunset. San Francisco was beautiful, but it was about 65 degrees when we got there! This really sweet family that my friend knew let us use their rooftop, and they had an incredible view of the water. We got inside the home and decided on outfits and lipstick colors, and then headed up the stairs to the rooftop. We definitely underestimated the wind power that exists in San Francisco, so we were instantly thrust into the wind! It was a little hard to stand, and even keep my eyes open, but it was so much fun! I have to say, my makeup somehow stayed on throughout the intense wind, so cruelty free makeup can totally hold up next to some of th...

Favorite Summer Products | Cruelty Free

This summer, I have been loving all the fruity products that I can get my hands on! From all natural face masks, to cruelty free hair products, I have been so in love with all the new items I have been trying! I have heard so much about Korean skincare, and how revolutionary that it can be for your skin, so I did some research and found Frudia ! Frudia is a Korean skincare company whose products are filled with natural fruit juices and extracts, giving you the essential nutrients you need without all the chemicals! I picked up the Green Grape Pore Control Mask , at my local Ulta, and it is super hydrating while also tightening pores! I also met with the founder of  MopTop Hair  while at the Natural Food and Product Expo West this past year. She was so sweet and sent me home with a few samples and I was automatically obsessed with not only the delicious smell of the products, but the way it made my hair feel! The Mongongo Oil  smells amazing and hydr...
