HEALTHY SNACK IDEAS FOR MOVIE NIGHT | LIFESTYLE ♡

It is still Winter and it is the cozy season, which for me it has been pretty sunny here in San Diego, but I still manage to cozy up in bed and watch films! Doesn't everyone love cuddling up on their couch and watch movies with your family or friends? As well, as having a great snack to munch on while watching your favorite films! So, I am going to let you know on some of my favorite healthy snack ideas! 

Here I am cozying it up with my Twin sister binge watching films on Netflix!

What you need to have the coziest movie night:

Bedsheets
Duvet covers
Pillows
Laptop or TV
Blankets
Fairy lights
Dining tray

Healthy Snack Ideas/Recipes:

One of my favorite snacks is Apple slices with peanut butter drizzle and to make the tocuh add some dark chocolate chips. I have been following Trialandeater.com and ever since I saw these on their blog I have always eat my apples like this! Super healthy and fun! (for some reason my images were not uploading on here, so I had to look for an image!...Will upload later!)

Another great healthy snack is flourless peanut butter chocolate cookies! (THANK YOU PINTEREST!) 

FLOURLESS PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE COOKIES:

Ingredients

• ⅔ cups Rolled Oats (gluten-free If Desired)
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 cup Old-fashioned Peanut Butter (I Used Skippy Creamy)
• ⅔ cups Dark Brown Sugar
• 2  Large Eggs
• 1-½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• ⅔ cups Chocolate Chips

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
In a small bowl, mix together the oats and baking soda; set aside.
In a large bowl, beat peanut butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth, about 3 minutes. Mix in dry ingredients with a wooden spoon, then gently fold in chocolate chips.
Roll cookies into 2-inch dough balls and place onto cookie sheet 2 inches apart, then barely flatten the top of the cookie with your hand. The dough should be pretty sticky so if you find this method annoying, simply use a cookie scoop to drop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. The cookies may not be as round in shape and perhaps a bit thicker, but that’s okay, they will still be delicious.
Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes and remove when edges barely begin to turn a golden brown. The cookies may look a little underdone, but they will continue to cook once you remove them from the oven. Cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
Makes 16-20 cookies.
Notes:
1. You can use less sugar or less chocolate chips to save calories—I have tried using 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips and they turned out great!
2. Feel free to substitute almond butter or another nut butter in replace of peanut butter.
3. These cookies disappear quickly so I recommend doubling the recipe!

P.S. Again I don't know what happened to my photos! 

And if you have a movie night with no popcorn while watching films, you're doing it very wrong! The SkinnyPop popcorn is a healthy option for popcorn. There are a variety of flavors, go check their website! These are super good... I definitely recommend! 

THESE ARE DELICIOUS (go check them out and their ingredients here)

Love,

MY TRAVEL BUCKET LIST | BLOGMAS DAY 5 ♡

BLOGMAS DAY 5! I am here to tell you my bucket list of where I wish to travel someday. I have always been fascinated with this idea of having a travel bucket list, but I never actually wrote down a list in a journal. I decided to do a bucket list since we are coming close to the end of 2017 and going into the new year! It has been fun discovering new things or little places here in San Diego while living on campus, but I do want to travel somewhere different!

Without further ado, here is my bucket list!

TRAVEL: 

1. Canada 

2. New York

3. France

4. Florida

4. England

5. Spain 

6. Rome                                                          

7. Cancun, Mexico 

So, that is my travel bucket list, for now, I will be updating if I choose more places to go to (well that I wish to go to). I hope you also create your travel bucket list and tell me where you've been! Also, do you buy souvenirs from where ever you visit? I usually buy keychains to keep it as a memory of where I have been. 

Do you have a bucket list? If so, what is your list? Comment down below and let me know! 

Love,

CHRISTMAS WISH LIST | BLOGMAS DAY 2 ♡

It's wish list time! Who doesn't love a good wish list during this time of year? Though, I feel like I have not actually done one in a long time since I am not a child anymore...so sad. Well, I will be doing my Christmas wish list 2017.

The number one thing on my wishlist is Tartelette Toasted Eyeshadow palette $46

I love all of the 12 warm shades, which they are very rich shadows (I have the Tartlette in bloom palette). I also like that it has three different rows that you can make three easy looks. I think this palette is perfect for the holidays. I also like that it has 7 matte shadows and 5 shimmer shades.

The second items are these beaded velvet ankle boots ($110) and these high heel leather ankle boots with pearls! They are from Zara. Arent they the cutest boots for this season. I have been loving booties with pearls on them. Such a cute fashion statement.

DETAILS

DETAI

  

The next thing on my list is Taylor Swift tickets to her Reputation stadium tour. Who doesn't love jamming to Tay?! I would love to see her again she puts such great shows. I love how some Swifites dress up and get chosen for a tea party with Taylor after the concert, which is my dream to meet her! 

The last thing on my wishlist is Disneyland tickets during Christmas season. Even though the Christmas celebration in Disney only lasts up until January 7th, I wish this season was longer! I have never been to Disneyland during the Christmas time this is why I am adding to my wishlist (and Halloween time). I really enjoy Disneyland it is a fun theme park because you get to be a kid again and who doesn't love Disney? 

So, that is all on my wishlist this year! I am not expecting anything, but I do love myself some tickets to Disneyland and some makeup! I hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas-y time this year! Much love.

What is on your Christmas wishlist?

LOVE, 

Tania

MAKE YOUR APARTMENT FEEL LIKE HOME | Lifestyle ♡

Hey! How is everyone? So as the new school year has started once again, everyone has been moving to their new apartments, college dorms, or a house, which it is very exciting! Moving away is quite hard, but I promise it will be easy by making it like it is your own home! Being someone that has lived with family is hard to move away from them, but you get used to it! I have been living in San Diego for a year now and I have really enjoyed being here, being so close to cute shops, coffee shops, and a plus, the beach! Though, moving in an apartment or dorm it is quite hard to post things in rooms with thumbtacks because you will get fined if you leave holes on walls if you are renting a house, so instead of using thumbtacks, you can use frames, mounting puddy, tape, or even command strips for your photos. 

I will be giving you some tips on how I made my place (my room since I share an apartment with a few other girls), so I will just be giving you a little tour of my room through images. Which I will let you in on how you can get settled in your first apartment/house and how to make it feel like home! P.S. Sorry for the pictures, I had a bad lighting day). 

First: Bring a lot of frames! You can put frames of your loved ones around your dorm room! Either put them on your desk or hang them next to your bed on the wall! Also a cool way to show your photos is an Electronic photo frame. They are also a fun option because they let you show off a lot of photos even in a small space!

Second: Get a string with pom poms and photos or polaroids since they are super duper cute and clip them on the string. Such a cute idea I love to do!

Third: Any gifts you got that you received from a going away party, such as quote frames will really remind you of that one specific person that will remind you of home every time you look at it.

Fourth: Another idea that I like to do is any photos you have from photobooths is quite cute to put somewhere! For example, how I have here in my mini fridge and a magnet board! 

I hope everyone is doing great this school year! 

Love, 

Tania

LIFE UPDATE 2016 | UNIVERSITY

Hello, everyone! I have not updated my blog for the longest time, since November of last year telling you about my Halloween costume. I can't believe it's over a year that I stopped updating my page. So, I am here to tell you what has been going on in my life. 

1. I graduated Community College on April 29, 2016. #Classof2016 
Go Pirates! 

2. Before I graduated I was accepted to UC Davis, waitlisted for CSU Long Beach and UC San Diego. 

3. My sister was accepted into UCSD and I was sad because I didn't want to go to Davis, though it was probably one of the choices I had to go with, since I did not know if I was even going to get accepted to Long Beach as well. I wanted to be far from home and have a different experience since Davis feels the same from where I am from.

4. I went to three concerts of my favorite singers: Pepe Aguilar, Camila, and Juan Gabriel. 

5. Before I graduated, my older sister was working in Berkeley, CA and we went to visit her a few times and visited UC Berkely, which is a very pretty campus.

6. My family and I took a road trip to San Diego to visit the UCSD campus, which was pretty awesome! (I still didn't know if I was going to be accepted). 

7. I went to Universal Studios Hollywood and I was very excited for The wizarding world of Harry Potter! I also went to Venice and Santa Monica beach for the first time it was so pretty! 

8. I quit my job since I was going to move to Uni! 

9. I went to Disneyland for my birthday for five days! Who does that?! ME and my TWIN sister! We invited are best friends and enjoyed their company, since they are super funny. We took a long trip on the Amtrack, which was super duper fun! I enjoy the train.

10. I GOT ACCEPTED TO UC SAN DIEGO! 

Now, I am here in my dorm typing this, so I can remember what I did in 2016! Though the quarter system is very different from a semester system, but I am handling it pretty easy with midterms and projects, but now we are at week six already and we need four more weeks of class. YIKES! 

Love,

Tania

Here are a few photos of what it has been like living in San Diego!

THE EMOJI CHALLENGE!

So, thanks to Lucy she nominated me for this challenge! Thank you!! :) Go follow her blog! 

Instructions: 

I'm going to tag a few bloggers at the end (no more than 5!)  and then you tag 5 of your favourite blogs! So, lets get started! 

1. The tongue emoji

I think this emoji is just so cute. I pretty much use this emoji when I am eating something delicious and post a pic on instagram with the emoji. 

2. The heart smiley face emoji

I mainly use this because I love to post pictures on instagram, tumblr, or twitter showing what I love. For example, my dog because he is just so cute and lovable!

3. The Twin ballerinas emoji

I think this represents my sister and I because we are twins! I love using this icon when my twin and I take a picture!  (p.s. I don't really use emojis when I am texting as you can tell lol).

4. The cry laughing emoji

Oh gosh, I think I am obsessed with this emoji because every time I talk to my cousin I am always laughing with him and just like to use this instead of typing "HAHAHA." I think everyone uses this icon as much as I do!

5. Kissy emoji

I love to give wink kissies!  I think this emoji is also very cute. Who ever invented emojis they are amazing! I love to send this icon to my mom when i text her. because I love her so much!

Color Me Rad 5K Run

Hi everyone! 

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I know I did! :) 

Yesterday was nice for Valentines; my family and I went out to eat at Applebee's. Let me say I had the 4 cheese pasta. mmm mmm yummy! 

Anyways, as I was going through my emails I saw the Color Me Rad emails from the run to get the pictures from the day of the run. I totally forgot about saving the pictures, so I took the time to save them and wanted to share them with you guys! 

I had so much fun with going through the colors and people throwing the colored powdered at us. Towards the end they gave us a little much of the powder to throw it at other people and just have fun. I hope I do it again this year! :) 

I hope you enjoyed this post. I just want to put this on my blog to have memories, so I can go back and see them. hehe

Love,

Tania

MEMORIES | BLOGMAS DAY 13 ♡

Welcome to blogmas day 13! Today is a bit of a lazy Saturday. All I did today was help my mom clean and cook some tacos! Which, were very delicious! 

Anyways, today marks 19 years that I have an angel (my Grandpa) looking over me! I was probably 1 or 2 when he passed away. ;( It is my moms father. :) He was a very nice man! I know I didn't really get to know him, but I love him and I miss him so much! I know my older sister got to spend some time with him and she remembers a few things she did with him. :) 

Also, my cute little munchkin passed away 3 years ago. Her name was Popis, she was a very calm poodle. I miss her so so much! I remember when I was in my first semester of college in Fall 2011 and I had a class that I was practically failing because of how sad I was of how sick she was. I know, I know some people think its dumb when you exaggerate on how a dog is dying. Which, I know some people don't know how it feels to have a dog or they don't like them. So, they don't really care about it. I know I cried when she passed away because your dog is practically your best friend! She was my best-est friend of all! haha Yeah, if you have a dog you know how it feels to have one!  :D Dogs are very lovable! 

haha, I think was my sister who was putting her fingers as if those were her eyes.

aww she was such a babe. hehe btw, the baby picture was her passport pic! :)

Ohhh the memories! I love doggies so so much! I have a cute little monster right now and his name is Bombon. He is a cray cray one! Boys are hard to train than a girl dog, but I was like 4 when I had my first doggy! Which, my mom trained her. haha

I hope you enjoyed this post! If you own a dog what breed is it? I would love to know! :D 

P.S. oh and by the way its Taylor Swifts 25th birthday! Woot woot! I wish I was at her bday party! I love her so much! haha. Who likes her music?

Love,
Tania
