Since its pumpkin season an all!

So since it's now fall and of course the season of pumpkin, I'm goin to share a little pumpkin recipe! I have been making pumpkin waffles and pancakes quite a bit. And I love to add sugar free pumpkin syrup (from target) to my coffee. BUT my job situation recently changed a bit leaving me poorer, but with more free time. So now some baking is to follow... Because who actually wants to use extra free time to study right?! I made some Pumpkin Cookie Butter Chocolate Chips Squares :D

To start, as soon as I caught sight of Trader Joes pumpkin cookie butter I had to have it. If there is anything that I have more of a problem with than peanut butter, it's that damn cookie butter. I can't keep it in the house. Only every time I go to trader joes I feel obligated to buy it. Bad planning. Can't help what you love right? Just how do I make an entire jar fit my macros regularly!!!

Thankfully the recipe used most of this beauty up. (Though there may have been some spoonfuls that went straight to my mouth along the way.) I also like to share my treats so I didn't consume all the cookie butter unfortunately.

Isn't it beautiful?!

Anywayyyyyy, here is the recipe.

1.5 cups almond flour

1/4 cup coconut flour

1/4 cup Truvia Brown Sugar Baking Mix

1 Egg

1 Cup of the lovely Pumpkin Spice Cookie Butter

And as many Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips as you please!

1. Mix it all together

2. Add chocolate chips in last

3. Press the dough into a 8x8 greased pan

4. Bake about 12 minuets at 350F

Just watch them, 12 minutes is more of an estimate. I have a tendency to leave the oven without a timer >.<

Then good luck not eating them all!

Monday Make Up Haul

Happy Monday! Over the last few weeks I have acquired yet another unnecessary amount of makeup/ beauty products. See I've developed quite a bit of a makeup addiction in the last year. I would like to say all of my recent purchases were my way of "catching up" and obtaining all the "necessary" products to create a full make up look... but I would be lying. I have gotten carried away! And personally I don't mind. I love it! It's just that my bank account doesn't always agree with me. Such a downer ya know?! Anyway. the products below are my current daily necessity products :) Jaclyn Hill x Morphe Eye Master Brush Collection $62 $42 Maybe I'm just a loyal fan to Jaclyn Hill, but this collection has become my holy grail. The blending brushes are amazing. I like to think I'm pretty great at blending to begin with but I think this is a great starting place if you're not! There is also this little tiny brush that is the most ...

On to the Next! -- I got a promotion!

Good morning. Happy Fridayyyy ! Today is the most bittersweet day for my career. It is my last day working with the team I've been with since day one at my current company (though this is the first company I started working for once out of college). Now I'm not leaving the company I work for, but I recently got promoted to a different department. This means I move up a floor, and will really only see my current coworkers in passing! I am EXTREMELY excited to start this new chapter in my life. This is a position I have been wanting, and felt was the right next move for my career. But I think it's difficult to let go of things you are comfortable with, and it's especially hard when you love all your coworkers! It's not just my team I will miss either! My current boss is really the reason I have gained the momentum I have in the working world. He has always been dedicated to my growth, and has been someone to help guide me through life. I could easily thank ...

Monday Music - Holy Child

Happy Monday! I've had an unusually busy start to the week this week, but I wanted to pop on and mention a song I've been really loving. Hundred Thousand Hearts by Holy Child I have been following the progression of this band since college. I actually occasionally hung out with the lead singers sister from time to time.... Well we ran in the same circle of friends. She must have mentioned the band, or posted it somewhere and I took a listen! Turns out their music is quite quirky, but in the best way! The lead singer, Liz Nistico has a unique voice that fits well with their electric pop song. And the chorus is always something catchy that keeps you coming back. This particular song has a simple start, that picks up at that chorus. One thing I always love is how a song starts out in the most simple way and the gradually picks up through the song, until eventually you have this full band, choir, and additional instruments. The build up of a song like that alw...
