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...

Essential Oil Blend for Allergies!

I don't know about you guys but I am dying here with the allergies!! I think it is probably from this intense weather change---- it's been over 100 degrees for the past 2 days! With that being said, I have been waking up the past few mornings with a runny/stuffy nose and a sore throat. Oh and to top it off, I can't stop sneezing! I don't remember the last time I took over-the-counter medicine, so I try and go with natural remedies to help myself feel better. One thing that I always turn to are my essential oils! You can use them topically, internally, or in a diffuser like I am going to show you today :) If you are suffering from seasonal allergies, fill up your diffuser with warm water and add: - 5 drops Peppermint oil - 5 drops Rosemary oil -5 drops Tea Tree oil *You can also use Eucalyptus or Lemon oil if you don't have Peppermint or Rosemary* This blend really helps me to clear my head as I lay in bed and sip my Peppermint green tea! ...
