Recipe: Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chai Cupcakes

November 1, 2016

It’s no secret that I love everything related to fall. (See Exhibit A and Exhibit B here.) Naturally, with it being fall, I am craving pumpkin everything and I’m on a mission to do as many fall things as I can before it’s over.

Pumpkin bread, scones, cake, ice cream, candles, I love it all! And then I thought to myself, what is the one thing I like more than pumpkin? Tea of course, and then it hit me: Pumpkin Chai Cupcakes!!!

I have to admit that I was inspired by one of my favourite teas for this particular recipe… of course I’m referring to DAVIDsTea’s Pumpkin Chai! It is seriously the perfect tea for fall and warming the soul up after a crisp, fall day. I love the mix of sweet pumpkin, cinnamon and chai spices. It’s the perfect balance and drink for fall.

A Fond Farewell to Fall

October 28, 2016

Fall technically isn’t over yet, but since I live in Canada… it’s totally over. And I’m really bummed about it.

Okay, okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit here but honestly it feels like we barely even had fall this year, it was still hot for half of September and now it’s nearly the end of October and it started to get colder, darker earlier and I can just feel winter coming and I’m not ready for it. Especially considering that it is supposed to be a brutal one.

Getting Cozy for Fall with StyleWe: Review + Giveaway

October 11, 2016

I’m sure you’re all aware by now that fall is my favourite time of year. (Exhibit A, B and C.) One of the many reasons why I love fall so much is the weather + fashion. Personally, I don’t do well in extreme cold/heat and I *love* dressing in layers – fall weather is just perfect for this! I find that I have more freedom with my outfit choices in the fall; I can wear layers without having to worry about bundling up or being too hot, it’s still warm enough to wear skirts and tights and it’s sweater weather!

The only problem is however that my bank account kind of gets a little abused in fall… (Does anyone else have this problem?!) Since it’s my favourite time of the year for fashion I just can’t help myself when it comes to shopping the new collections and trends! My bad.

Recipe: Creamy Pumpkin Ice Cream for Fall

September 14, 2016

With fall just around the corner I decided to get a little festive and make some pumpkin ice cream! It’s no secret that I’m kind of obsessed with pumpkin everything. PSL’s are my jam.

I can’t be the only one that loves pumpkin everything, right?!

I’m not too sure where my love for pumpkin started to be honest… maybe it’s just because I love fall so much! I’m a big baby when it comes to extreme weather; I don’t do well in heat or cold (I’m the worst at being Canadian). I really wish the season was a bit longer here. The air just smells so crisp, the colours (and fashion) are amazing and then there is that whole obsession with pumpkins that I mentioned above.
