1.Arm Wrist Weights.
I think they are a must have! You can easily use them for easy quick walks, to an intense hikes, or if your doing 12-3-30. Its also handy to have around if your doing Pilates, dance cardio or starting out in your workout routine for 2022. I have be enjoying them for light workout classes on Peloton.
2.Initial Necklaces.
This is one "That Girl" item I never thought I be into, but it has become an outfit staple. Initial necklace could be worn with any outfit and make you look put together. Even if you got out of your bed. The best part is you can personalize this to your personal style from minimal, funky, preppy. I been loving a gold one
3. Athleisure sets
Sets in my opinion are a must have for everyone! They just make you look so well put together and on top of your stuff. You can get the original inspiration Set Active or find dupes on amazon. Here are some of my favorite:

Hydration is key in "That Girl " aesthetic! One of the major reasons I am here for this trend. I have always been someone who loves to carry water bottles around and thanks to the trend there are so many aesthetic affordable bottles out there right now.

Let's Talk Coffee
If you follow me on social media you know I have a love for coffee and creating my own drinks at home. Who wants to spend over five bucks when you can make a delicious drink from the comforts of home just the way you like it for a fraction of the cost.
Today I
want to highlight one of my favorite products to make all my delicious coffee
recipes with, Torani Puremade Caramel Sauce. What I love the best about this
sauce is that it can add so much flavor to any coffee drink no matter if you
have it cold, blended or nice and warm. With March being National Sauce Month I
thought what a better way than to celebrate with Torani Puremade Sauce and my
go to Coffee recipe.
Caramel Iced Latte spiked with caramel whip
cream! This is my go to for a post long workday or on weekends when I want a
nice creamy coffee with a little something extra. The best part is you can also
make this coffee without the spike and enjoy it every day, but let’s be honest
the best thing about this drink is the Torani Puremade Caramel Sauce. This caramel
sauce blends in so well in many different ways to give my coffee drink the best
flavor. What I love the most is the fact
that it has no artificial flavors. So I love to add it to my coffee in
different ways like caramel whip cream that helps make my drink more special.
To make this drink you will need the following
ingredients.
-Torani Puremade Caramel Sauce ( Torani Puremade Sauce can be bought online at torani.com)
- 1 shot Espresso
- ½ cup milk of choice
- 1 ounce coffee liqueur (if you like to make the spike version)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
-Ice
When it comes to an Iced latte there is
something you need to keep in mind, an Iced latte is different from iced coffee
. A latte is an espresso shot with steamed milk. Making it a little stronger in
taste but if that ain't what you like you are welcomed to substitute the
espresso shot with iced coffee and follow the remaining directions down below.
Directions :
First off I like to start off by making the
espresso and adding the steamed milk. And letting it cool before pouring it to
a different cup. At this time I take the Kahula and pour it into the latte with
around one tablespoon of the Torani Puremade Caramel Sauce and mix it into the
latte. While I let this cool, I move on
to making the caramel whipped cream from scratch.
Now I know making the whip cream from scratch
sounds daunting but honestly I promise it is super easy. When I make the
caramel whipped cream I like to make enough for the days to come, but if you
would like to just make enough for your drink you can do that but trust me it’s
so good you’re going to wish you made more than just one drink. Now there's two
ways you can mix the heavy whipping cream - by hand, which is a guaranteed arm
work out, or by using an electric mixer. I will be taking the electric mixer
route but that's just me. In the mixing bowl, I add the heavy whipping cream. I
whip until stiff peaks are just about to form. At this point I would add in Torani
Puremade Caramel Sauce. Add in as much as you desire, I love caramel so I tend
to add a good amount, roughly around 3 tablespoons. Once added let it whip
until it blends together. And that's it, I told you it was super easy.
Once I have the whipped cream done the next
step will be the caramel wall, aka - adding caramel around the cup. I would add
some Torani Puremade Caramel Sauce to the bottom and around the sides of my
glass followed by ice, then at this time I would pour in the cooled spiked
latte I had made earlier. For the finishing step I top the latte off with the
freshly made caramel whipped cream and sit back and enjoy!

Confession
Since the young age of twelve, I developed a love for books.(Shout out to Gossip Girl). I would make my parents, more like begged for them to take me to the book store just to get a book for the weekend. It got to the point where my parents had to hide the book from me. Especially if it was for a long trip because I could read that book in a couple of hours before the trip.
I'm not going to lie I love Young Adult book. I hope many could relate to that, on top of that I enjoy thrillers from time to time, but lately, I developed A new love for cookbooks and nutrition books.
First off, if you know me you know that I can barely boil water without something going wrong, but lately I been putting myself out there when it comes to cooking. As a gift for Christmas, I received first the Freddie Prince Jr Book, Back to the kitchen and it started a new inspiration for me to get into the kitchen.
I admit my love for the actor and after a girls night watching some of his films like, I know what you did last summer and She's all that. We found out he had a cookbook and it was a shocker, but once I read the book I understood this man had a passion for food.
The recipes are amazing and simple that even a somewhat okay cook could make and enjoy.
His green chilly salsa is so good. I might secretly now use it all the time and tell people it is a family recipe (oops!!).
My current favorite book right now is Body Love by Kelly LeVeque. This book just blow my mind. I read it in literally in two days, and read it again the next day to make sure I understood everything correctly.
Kelly LeVeque shows you a new way to not diet, but love your body by filling it with nutritious food. In a way that will help you lose weight if that's your goal. I really got into this book and the ideology behind it after Kelly post on her blog about the challenge she was hosting.
From the first day of the challenge I could notice the difference and I think that's what made me believe in the book even more. I'm on day 17 of the challenge and now I enjoy waking up early to get some type of workout before work, and a fab 4 smoothie after. It makes me stay full until lunch and sometimes after. I recommend this book if you're trying to fall back in love with your body.
The third cooking book I got was The Gilmore girls book: Eat like a Gilmore. This book is filled with fun amazing recipes. That makes you feel like your part of the Stars Hollow community. Try one of these recipes out when ever you feel like you need a little Gilmore Girls in your life.
If you guys have any recommendations for book I should check out, please let me know down below. I'm always up for finding a new book of any kind.
Here are the links to the book !
