Bring the Coffee Shop Home!

Wednesday, March 10, 2021

I am a huge coffee fan. My usual order is a venti iced coffee with classic and cream. I've probably spent half of my income at Starbucks... sometimes visiting my favorite baristas twice a day. My bank account was screaming at me to stop, so I decided that there has to be a way to make these delicious lattes at home. There is! Of course, I still make the occasional coffee stops but I can confidently say, my lattes are better!



I make my coffee with a Keurig. Nothing fancy with the one I own, but there are some fancy coffee makers out there. The secret weapon is the milk frother.  I add half oat milk and half vanilla almond milk creamer to the frother and whip up a latte. So easy and so good.  And way less sugar than my usual order. The frother has both cold and hot settings so you can make iced or hot coffees. 


Whatever your coffee order is at the coffee shop, you can make it at home. Starbucks sells their flavored syrups online and a quick google search can get you the recipe for just about anything on the menu. I may have even ordered paper cups with lids so I still feel like I am enjoying a cup from Starbucks! 

I have linked everything I use, and a few extra items on my LIKEtoKnow.it page.


Winter Wardrobe with W A N T A B L E

Wednesday, November 25, 2020

Even in Florida, there really is nothing better than a cool breeze, a cozy sweater, and a hot cup of coffee. I was wanting to spruce up my winter wardrobe but going to the store to try clothes on is basically impossible these days. I have been a huge fan of having Wantable delivered to me monthly. I get to try the clothes on and decide which ones to keep and which items to send back. 


I have teamed up with Wantable to share some of their cozy items from their limited time, Home for the Holidays Edit! I love these items. They're so versatile and a great mix of basic staples and statement pieces. 


I very much have a jeans and a tee-shirt kind of style.  It's rare you will find me in a pair of heels. But to make it into my closet it has to check 3 boxes:  casual, cute, and comfortable. When you shop with Wantable, you complete a style quiz before your first box arrives so the stylist knows exactly what you like (and what you definitely don't!) 



This camel sweater (pictured above) is the softest thing I own. I have worn it almost every day since it arrived. It's perfect paired with jeans, a dress, or even dressed down with some pajamas! 


If you want to check Wantable out for yourself, check out the link here
Using this link will get you $25 off your first box.

A Wantable subscription box would be a great gift idea this holiday season! Wantable has women's style boxes, active boxes, and one for the guys in your life, too!

Shop by BECK

Wednesday, May 1, 2019
Happy Wednesday! How was your weekend? Ours was busy! Kenzie had her birthday and first dance competition. Followed by a weekend surprise to LegoLand! I wanted to share an adorable online shop with you all called By BECK. By BECK is run by 3 adorable sisters and moms, one is a fellow SLP! Their clothes are affordable and super cute. They have perfect work outfits and casual weekend wear. (Spoiler alert: there's a coupon code at the bottom of this post!)
My style is super casual, so I was immediately drawn to the tees! This 'Easy Like Sunday Morning' tee was just released yesterday! It's very soft and the color is gorgeous. You can grab it, here!
I love this 'Weekend Good Vibes' tee. It's a thick enough material for a white tee that you don't need to wear anything under it. 
Ok so this is for all my fellow moms loving the one piece bathing suits! I ordered this Sadie suit and I am obsessed! It's made with a very good, thick bathing suit material, so it's very slimming. I am very picky about the tops on bathing suits, I don't have much up there, but after kids, I am so conscious of bending over. This top is perfect. It's very fitting and has adjustable straps. I felt very confident in it- even chasing the kids around! The back has the most adorable detail! You can check it out here.
I am always happy to support fellow moms in their business adventures(especially if one is an SLP!), so make sure you check them out. From April 29-May 4, if you use the code: SIMPLYSPEECH you get 10% off your order (and always free shipping!)
