Blackberry Breakfast Smoothie Share This LinkCopy Supermodel Karlie Kloss loves to eat clean! When she's on the go, Karlie can always be found with a healthy snack like a Kind bar or apple in her purse, and she even partnered with the legendary Momofuku Milk Bar to create a line of all-natural treats — appropriately named Karlie's Kookies. Even when she's not busy with fashion shows and photo shoots ( . . . or cookies), Karlie keeps breakfast simple on her days off. Her go-to recipe is (what she calls) a "yummy, clean, boring" protein shake that requires just a handful of ingredients. This simple breakfast treat is low in calories but high in fiber and protein to keep you satisfied for hours after you sip. Notes Karlie said that she tosses "banana or blackberries" into her chocolate protein shake, but after trying this blend of fruit together, I decided to add them both to the mix. Ingredients Directions Combine all ingredients in blender, and mix until smooth.Enjoy! Source: Calorie Count Information Category Yield 1 smoothie

im awesome and have lots of friends. im a cheerleader... about me Purple Rain DIY Fishtail Hat Band We were instantly inspired by this gorgeous rainbow fishtail braid in Free People‘s September catalog and decided to recreate it, adding our own little twist: making the braid into a wearable hat accessory. Who said braids were limited to summer and hair? Cut about 40 strands of yarn about 3 feet long, knot at one end leaving a several inches of slack, and divide into two sections. Pull 4 strands of yard from the outside of the left section and add it to the right side. Do the same to the other side–pull 4 strands of yarn from the outside of the right section and add it to the left side. Transform your hat with your new fishtail braid by securing it with a piece of yarn, safety pin or elastic band! (all images by Honestly…WTF)

pink dress pink bag 12 Days Of Wrapping: Pixel Weave Speaking of nerding out, today’s DIY wrapping project combines two of our favorite things: pixels and crafts. If you haven’t done a basic weave, trying it out around a gift box is the easiest way to start! We started out with a simple yarn wrapping weave, then used ribbon, rubber bands and embroidery floss, and finally construction paper for some pixelated goodness. Materials: - string for weaving (yarn, ribbon, embroidery floss and rubber bands) - construction paper - scissors - wrapped presents or gift boxes For the yarn wrap, start with a piece of yarn or string and wrap it in stripes around your package. We did the same thing using construction paper, ribbon and a combo of rubber bands and embroidery floss with awesome results. Then, our crown jewel: the Pixelated Letter Weave! For a paper weave, cut out long strips and tape the first layer (the base layer) to the bottom of the package. Got any geeky wrapping tricks up your sleeve?

pink invi Make Your Own Tree Swing Our first house in Springfield had a huge Oak tree in our wild, rambling backyard so I made Sebastian a tree swing once he was big enough to enjoy it. We were so sad to leave it behind when we moved, especially since our second house had absolutely no trees large enough to support even a family of squirrels much less a toddler. Our new place came with a good-sized apple tree right in the middle so as soon as the weather warmed up I decided it was time for another swing. 1. The kids and I love having a swing again and it adds a lot of charm to our backyard.

DIY Beauty: Brown Sugar and Vanilla Lip Scrub I am one of the poor unfortunate girls who suffers from year-round chapped lips. I have purchased dozens of lip balms and while some work, most don’t cut it. However, sometimes my lips are so chapped that not even my Holy Grail lip balm can help soothe them. When that happens, I know there is only one solution: my brown sugar and vanilla lip scrub! Trust me, it works like magic, is totally natural, and it smells SO good. What you’ll need: 2 tsp brown sugar1/2 tsp honey or agave nectar (I used agave nectar!) How to: Step One Using the mixing bowl, add your honey or agave nectar, then mix in the olive oil. Step Two Lightly incorporate the brown sugar. Step Three For a yummy smell that seems almost good enough to eat, add the vanilla extract. Step Four Spoon the mixture into a small container to store. How to use: To use, simply apply a small amount to your lips and gently scrub for 10 seconds. What Do You Think? Do you like this DIY?
