Chocolate Crêpes with Fruit and Greek Yogurt
So this morning I was feeling a bit creative and hungry, and in my opinion, those two things together, make for some delicious treats. So as I was eating I snapped a photo and decided to share the recipe with all of you.
Ingredients
1 Cup whole wheat flour
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup chocolate milk
1/2 Cup water
1/4 Tsp salt
2 Tbsp melted margarine
1/4 Cup frozen blueberries
Small handful of raspberries
1-2 Tbsp Oikos Key Lime Greek yogurt
In a bowl, combine flour, eggs, chocolate milk, water, salt, and melted margarine
whisk until smooth.
heat up a frying pan with just a drop of oil. spread evenly around the bottom of the frying pan. Once the pan is heated, pour in 1/4 cup of your crêpe batter into the center of the pan, use a spoon to move the batter to thin out your crêpe and to help create an eve circle. After 40 seconds, flip your crêpe and wait another 40 seconds and it's done! Continue these steps until all your batter is gone.
Once you're done, take your blueberries and heat them up until completely thawed. while your waiting for them to thaw, add your Greek yogurt to your crêpe and raspberries. Then add your blueberries and drizzle the juice around the entire plate.
Next you'll want to snap a few photos, share them and then dig in!

6 Tips To Get Through A Break Up!
Breaking up SUCKS! But it's something we all have to go through sometime or another. So here are 6 tips that I find can help you get over your break up and help you move on!
This might be the most dangerous place to be while going through a break up. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are the internet's hottest places to be. Everyone has an account on one or all of these social media's so figuring out what he/she is doing is so easy it's scary! My advice is to just STAY OFF SOCIAL MEDIA! You're going to see something you don't like and it's going to drive you mad. give your self 4 to 7 days without social media. Time to yourself is good anyway!
Friends
Friends are here for a reason so don't forget about them! They generally know you best so confiding in them will be easy and comfortable and they probably know just what you need to make you feel better and will help you through every stage of the break up!
Be Sad
Giving yourself time to be sad is crucial. Give yourself a two week time frame and say "Okay. This sucks but I have to deal with it." That two week time frame is your time to let it all out and heal. It's also a good time to figure out your next move.
Write About It
There hasn't been one time in my life that I was unhappy at myself for writing something down. whether it's a song, poem, journal entry, or a letter to him/her you'll never send, just write it down. Writing is a no judgement zone. No one can interrupt you and make you feel bad for the emotions your having, because you're probably feeling a lot of them at this point. It's a great release. and sometimes looking back at the writing can make you happy because you get to see where you were and how far you've come when you read it.
Break Up Hair
So I've done this once before and two of my friends do it every time they go through a break up. They either cut their hair or colour it. personally I cut 4 inches off. Changing your hair can be kind of scary and it's not for everyone but it's nice in the sense that you no longer look the way you did in the relationship. new chapter new you!
Keep Busy
Don't sit in your room all day and night crying and eating brownies. Do that during your two weeks of being sad period. focus on trying new things, making more time for the things you love. do what you can to make sure the break up is not the only thing you're thinking about.
Break ups suck but the hurt won't last forever. every break up leads you closer to the one you're suppose to be with and every relationship will teach you something about yourself or the world. so yes be sad but be hopeful and open minded for the future. the best things are yet to come! Hope these 6 tips help you out should you ever need them! Let me know what you think in the comments below!

My Favourite BH Cosmetics Lipsticks
So I'm a big fan of BH Cosmetics! I have a fair amount of products from the company ranging from concealers to lip glosses. But today I really wanted to focus on my four favourite lipsticks from BHC
So I'm just going to jump right in and get started!
Te Amo
This colour is a true red with blue undertones. Any lip colour with a blue undertone will make your teeth appear whiter, and who doesn't like that, am I right? Anyway, I really like this colour because it's so pigmented, creamy, lasts a really long time, and it doesn't bleed, which I find happens a lot with reds.
Moody Merlot
Now, this isn't my favourite dark red but it's a close second, My favourite is Kate Moss 107. The difference between these two lipsticks is the longevity. BHC lasts a lot longer, but the colour is slightly more brown than 107 and 107 has way more blue undertones. BHC doesn't smell as delicious as 107 but 107 is slightly more expensive. Both colours are gorgeous and similar, but if I'm going out for a while, BHC Is my go to for a dark lip.
Pop Cultured
Barbie. All of my barbie's I had as a child had this colour of lip. So when I seen it, I was instantly taken down memory lane and added it to my cart! Like every BHC Lipstick, this colour lasts FOR EVER! Perfectly pigmented and just an all around gorgeous pink!
Forever Nude
Every girl needs at least one nude lipstick in her lip collection. even if it's to place on top of another colour, there a great piece to any collection. This nude, I wouldn't say is the best formulated shade out there but it does it's job. this shade lasts a long time like the others and is petty pigmented, which again, is awesome.
