What you need:
- Container of Cream Cheese
-Mexi Corn (canned)
-Black Beans (canned)
- 1/2 Rotel
- Extra Corn is desired
- A cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 table spoons of Mayo
- 4 table spoons of sour cream
- DASH of cayenne pepper.
- Bag of Fritos Chips
How to make:
It's so simple!
Start with cream cheese and then add all of the ingredients! Don't forget to drain the black beans, mexi corn, and corn!
If you want more of a spice kick, add more cayenne pepper.
All done! Now take some Fritos and dig in!!!

Life Update!
Hiya!
FINALLY I'M A SENIOR!!!! YAY! So many crazy things have happened in the last month and I feel like sharing it!
I was accepted into early admission into College! I was admitted to K-State's Kinesiology program and I will start my dual major in human nutrition and exercise science in the Fall of 2015 :)
I started a new job! I work at Sunflower Bank and it's the best job ever! The people I work with are wonderful! They are super flexible with schedules so they let me have Wednesday and Friday off so I could go to church and school football games! How awesome is that?!

My Starbucks Favorites!
Hiya!
MMMMMM I will never turn down Starbucks! Many of my friends make fun of me for having the "Starbucks App" on my phone! I have done many Starbucks Drink reviews and they have become my most popular posts! I thought I would jot down some of my favorite drinks that you might be able to try!
1. Venti Iced Passion Tea Lemonade SWEETENED!
-This is my ultimate Summer drink! In fact, I'm drinking it right now! It's a very wallet friendly drink with a Venti costing about $3.50. My favorite thing about this drink is the color! Its a pretty shade of Pink and I feel pretty when I drink it! I'm crazy!
2. Venti Iced White Chocolate Mocha with 2 pumps of Sugar Free Caramel Syrup.
-If you are looking for a drink that's healthy and affordable then this is NOT THE ONE! This drink ranks high on the price chart with totaling around $8.00! This is my special occasion drink! Don't be fooled by the Sugar Free Caramel Syrup, A venti iced white chocolate mocha has a whooping 6 pumps of regular white chocolate syrup! This brings the total calorie count to around 600! YIKES! Good thing it's just a special occasion drink! I love how well this drink blends together with the ice!
3. Tall Soy Cafe Misto
-This is a new item on my menu! I started getting this drink with Soy milk to cut down on my dairy intake plus it's fun to say SOY! With hot drinks I can barely make it through a tall with the coffee still hot so a tall is plenty for me! It's half milk and half coffee!
4. Grande Blonde Misto with 6 Pumps of Sugar Free Vanilla.
-My Aunt introduced this drink to me when I was visiting her a few weeks ago. I feel this has more flavor than a regular misto and I'm all for bursts of flavor! I was able to finished this in a tall so I bumped up to a Grande :) I'm moving up in the world!
This are my favorite drinks! Try them if you haven't, but if you have keep on enjoying them!

Recipe: Healthy Banana Ice Cream!
Hiya!
School is finally over! I'm now a senior in high school and I'm starting what is supposed to be one of the most fun times in my life (we will see about that). To me, school is very stressful and causes lots of anxiety, but I have a better feeling about this year. As most of you know, my blog is a combo of my life and how I enjoy it with healthy eating, travel, etc. My summer read is a book called Body and Soul: A Girl's Guide to a Fun, Fit, and Fabulous Life. The author is Bethany Hamilton who is the surfer who lost her arm in a shark attack when she was thirteen. Her story inspired the movie Soul Surfer and since then she became a professional surfer, newly married, and wrote her new book. This book combines healthy eating, workouts, and devotionals all in one book! Bethany lives in Hawaii and many of the recipes in her book are very Hawaiian (which I LOVE!). One of her dessert recipes in Banana Ice Cream! I have made it myself and its open for tweaking so you can make it fit your personal taste.
Ingredients:
-Vanilla Almond Milk
- Frozen Banana
- Almonds (optional)
- Coconut Shavings (optional)
How to Make:
Puree Frozen, Chopped Banana in a Blender while slowly adding almond milk. DO NOT ADD ICE!
Top with almonds or coconut shavings in desired. You can add any kind of frozen fruit you want!
See how easy that is!? and its really good! I've thought about topping it with Dark Chocolate!
I'll see you around this Summer as I show you more fun ways to be healthy!
