Fun (Free) Summer Activities

As a college student I know that money is always tight. Especially during the summer a lot of college students are trying to work and save money or are just short on cash in general.  But just because you might have little to no money to spend does not mean that you can’t have a fun summer. So without further adieu I have compiled a list of fun things that you can do that cost mostly nothing.

1.  Look for free activities in your town

 - A lot of towns offer tons of fun free activities, and they are often easily found just by googling the name of your city and free events. For example my city has a calendar with the different events and offers different things such as outdoor movie nights, and an art walk.

2. Have a girls night

- When I say girls night I mean a night in with some rom-coms, manis and pedis, and some good old fashioned junk food.

3. Have a Netflix marathon

- Grab a couple of friends and some snacks or popcorn and spend the day binge watching a show. I would reccomened The Witches of East End or Nashville.

4. Get a public library card

- Nowadays having a public library card gets you access to a lot more than just books. Some public libraries now offer DVDs that you can check out and also eBooks.

5. Go swimming

- Chances are you know someone that has a pool, or you live in an apartment that has a pool.  So take advantage of it! Go swimming, and get your tan on. But don’t forget your sunblock.

You Need to Try: 2 Ingredient Pancakes

Personally i've never been big on things people deem "healthy recipes". This is generally because a lot of the time I find them to be lacking in flavor and I like my food to taste good. So when I initially stumbled across this recipe I was quite skeptical... But it turned out delicious, and it's boyfriend approved! Also I'm linking up with Katie Did What for her healthy habits linkup, so make sure and check that out for more healthy tips and recipes.

Now the original recipe is from Blogilates and you can check it out here>> 2 Ingredient Pancakes

After reading the comments I decided to make a couple simple additions to the recipe and I think that they were better with those additions. So all you need to make these pancakes are 1 banana & 2 eggs. Super simple right? And these are generally items that most of us already have on hand. I then decided to add a little bit of sugar and cinnamon to the batch I made. Now they already have some sweetness from the banana so I didn't add a lot maybe a couple pinches, and then a couple of shakes of cinnamon.

They were really delicious! And simple!

 Just a few other notes....

- They will not taste like a traditional pancake like most people are used to. Personally to me they tasted a bit like french toast, which is not a bad thing.
- Make sure to mash the banana pretty well, you don't want giant chunks of banana. Some people said they put it in a blender for a few seconds but that it makes them thinner and more like crepes.
- You want to heat your pan at about a 4 and after you make the first batch turn it down to 3.
- It won't bubble like a normal pancake before its ready to be turned, the key it to look for the edges to turn lighter then its ready to flip
-These are supposed to be about this size of your fist, any bigger and they will be near impossible to flip
- 1 banana and 2 eggs makes about 7 small pancakes, which is intended to be 1 serving.

For nutritional info check out the Blogilates link above, and they also have an instructional video!

Top with butter and enjoy the easiest pancakes you'll ever make!

Happy 4th Of July!

Kohl's Shopping Haul & 4th of July Sneak Peek

Hey y'all! I hope you are having a great 4th of July eve. I just wanted to pop in today and share some awesome things that I found on my random trip to Kohl's today. So I originally went in looking for a top to wear for tomorrow since I don't really own anything for the 4th of July. I did find something btw and if you follow me on instagram you probably saw this little gem earlier.

This is just a little snapshot of the cute top that I got to wear for tomorrow. If you want to see my full look i'll be posting some pics on instagram tomorrow, so if you're not already following me you can follow me here >>>> Instagram #shamelessselfpromotion

But I also snagged some other beauties that I am really excited to share with you. First off Kohl's was having like some awesome sale or something and every item that I purchased was on sale, WIN. SO without further adieu here is what I purchased.

This adorable, and super comfy Lauren Conrad boyfriend cardigan (p.s. it was originally $50!) Boyfriend Cardigan Also I had no idea that Lauren Conrad had a line at Kohl's and there were so many other cute items that I wanted to purchase!

I also picked up this simple navy shirt, originally it was a possible for me to wear for tomorrow. But when I found the other top I ended up getting this one too cause it was a great deal and also really comfortable. I think this will be one of my go to shirts for school in the fall. 

Last but certainly not last, this ADORABLE Lauren Conrad dress. Guys I picked this up off the sale rack thinking, ugh it's probably not gonna fit, and its the only one here, and I may not even like it anyway..... But the second I put it on OMG. First off it fit perfectly, and I really liked it (along with how skinny it makes me look and feel). I think that I am definitely gonna to get a lot of wear out of this dress. I am so glad that I stumbled upon it. 

So that is everything that I got at Kohl's today, and I was pretty happy when my receipt said that I saved $119. WOAH. This is why I love bargain shopping. 

The last thing I want to share with y'all today is my nails that I did for tomorrow. 

I LOVE how they turned out! I'm probably not the first person to do what I consider a scalloped french manicure, but it was actually fairly easy to do. If y'all want to see a tutorial on it let me know in the comments!
