What I'm Wearing // Polka Dots

 Happy Wednesday! :) Here's what I wore to a fabulous car show I went to a few weeks ago! I'm such a huge fan of old, vintage cars so this is always such a fun event for me! I'm loving all this warm-ish weather we're getting since I can finally start busting out the skirts and dresses deep within my closet! How about you guys, enjoying any nice weather?

Matcha Tea Lemonade

 Oh my goodness, this is my new favorite drink! I went to one of my favorite coffee shops the other day and tried out some Shaken Matcha Lemonade! It was delicious and the second I tried it, (and loved it) I knew I wanted to make my own! So I did and here's how! :) Give it a try!
Ingredients: 
•One lemon    •Desired amount of sugar
•Matcha green tea powder     •Ice and water

ONE- squeeze the juice of one really juicey lemon and put it in your mason jar.
TWO- add a teaspoon of matcha green tea powder
THREE- add as much sugar as you like ( I like mine sweet) and shake it all around until everything is well combined!
FOUR- add some ice and fill the rest up with water!
Happy happy! :)

Productive // Library

 Hey sweet ones! Today I'm just laying in bed editing pictures, which actually sounds pretty good, but I've caught the flu! :( I totally wanted to get some other posts done today, but nope! Anyways, yesterday I went to the library to get some social media and business books and I ended up working on a super duper exciting project that should be revealed in the next few days! You're going to want to keep updated with the facebook page because one of you could get this *super* exciting thing for free! 
Here's a sneak peek of the project! *Ooooh Aaah* 
 Anyways, I'm super excited to share my project with you, I cant wait! Stay tuned!

Tea Infused Waters 3 Ways!

Working on staying hydrated has kind of become one of my biggest goals lately, especially as it heats up around here! I used to go full days without a single glass of water, which was pretty terrible but now I'm drinking soooo much water!! Want to know my secret? Delicious tea and fruit infused waters! Let me tell you, these are delicious and they even taste like there's sugar in them...but there's not!!! Who knows, maybe you'll get close to the "8 cups of water a day" deal, which seems like a huge amount of water!
Another thing I discovered is that a lot of tea bags will steep perfectly in ice cold water, super easy and convenient!!
This one is probably my current favorite since it's super sweet and summery! I take some tetley herbal summer berry tea, put a tea bag in some water with ice and chopped up strawberries and oranges.

The combination of lemon, lime and mint is super refreshing! Something about it always leaves me feeling really healthy! Slice and dice some lemons and limes and put in ice water with a herbal mint tea.
When I first made this one, I was surprised by how sweet it was! :) It kind of reminds me of Christmas actually! Slice up some oranges, put them in some ice water with a cinnamon tea bag and some anise flowers!
Yum! :) If you have any combinations, let me know, I'm always on the lookout!

My Polaroid Wall!

 I cant believe I've never officially shared my polaroid wall on TPP! :) Come on Lauren, get it together!  This lovely polaroid wall has been up for quite a few months now and I love it so much, its such a great way to showcase some of my favorite memories! One of the best parts of being a blogger, is that you have thousands of photos to choose from! I took a few hundred of my favorites, used Poladroid to easily create the polaroids and then I had them printed and I just stuck them on my wall with some tape! Easy as pie!
How do you guys showcase your favorite photos? :)
