Morning all! It’s another beautiful day in the city today; the temperature is going to reach a perfect 75 degrees, which means that there is no way that I’ll be stuck in my house! On days like these, even taking a long drive is comforting.. I just love to be outdoors when the weather permits.. who doesn’t?
This morning, I decided to put my shredded carrots to use, and make a bowl of Carrot Cake Oatmeal. I used 1/2 cup of rolled oats, 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of almond milk, cinnamon, lots of maple syrup, some shredded carrot, and 1 banana. I topped the bowl off with some shredded coconut, about 1.5 tbsp of toasted pecans, and some maple yogurt icing using about 1 tbsp of vanilla soy yogurt and 1 tsp of maple syrup. This was an extra perfect bowl of oats.. it came out perfectly creamy and delicious!
Of course, I’ll be bringing my usual snack of some peanut butter puffins to school.. I just love them so much! After school, I might ask a friend if he wants to stop by and get some starbucks with me. Iced soy lattes are my favorite things to have on warm, summer-like days! Then, if my prom dress comes in the mail today, which it should, I might head out to get it altered. I basically have everything I need for the prom now; I have my dress, and I got my shoes the other day (silver t-strap sandals, they’re really pretty and actually comfortable!), so now all I need is a clutch, which shouldn’t be too hard to find. I think I’ll go searching for one today.
Hope everyone has a fabulous day, enjoy guys!

And I LOVE Peanut Butter Puffins too. I’ve only been able to find them at one store, but I’ll have to go pick some up again very soon, SO good.
