3 Ingredient Healthy Pancakes

Hey everyone!
Today's blog post is a little different from what I normally do, but I've recently been trying out some new healthy recipes and foods and I thought I'd let you guys in on this!
If you like these posts, I'll add some more good recipes I've been making!

Breakfast: 3 Ingredient Pancakes

(found from foodnetwork.com)

At first I was skeptical about this because 1) I'm not a huge fan of pancakes in general and 2) the thought of mixing these ingredients together doesn't sound appetizing to be honest, and 3) I often try recipes like this and they don't work. However, I liked these pancakes, they tasted really flavorful and awesome when cooked, and they actually ended up looking like the picture from the recipe! These pancakes are much healthier than regular pancakes because it is gluten-free, flourless, and low in sugar. The original recipe makes more than just for one person, so when I was making this for myself I changed the recipe a bit.

-1 egg
-1 ripe banana
-1/2 spoonful baking powder 

(Optional: pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, whatevs...)

What to do
Take the egg, crack it into a small bowl and stir it just until you think it's mixed. Then, take the ripe banana and mash it in a separate bowl. Combine both the egg and banana and add baking powder or any flavoring you want to add in. Now you have your pancake batter! Lightly grease a pan and take small spoonfuls and drop them onto the pan just like you would for regular pancakes. After about a minute or when the bottom looks cooked, quickly flip them over and they will look slightly toasted.
I ate mine plain because I liked the flavor as it is, but the recipe recommended topping the pancakes with syrup, nut butter, or honey if you want to add more sweetness!

Fall Makeup Tutorial: Smokey Eye & Violet Lips

Hey everyone!
As many of you might now, I recently went to Beautycon in NYC! It was so much fun; if you'd like to see a vlog of it that I did you can click here! I could go on and on about everything I did, but I thnk watching that vlog would be easier:)
One thing that happened at Beautycon was that I received a huge bag of makeup and beauty products because they came with my pro pass ticket. Even if you had the general admission ticket, there were still so many free samples given out and everything being sold was marked down sooooo much.
I thought of doing a haul of the things I got, but to be honest I filmed it and them when I looked it over while editing I realized how boring the video looked. So, I thought it would be fun to make a dramatic tutorial on a look I wouldn't really wear unless it was a really special occasion. (Seriously, I'll be real with you guys, it took quite a while because I didn't plan out the look that much!)

However, whoever chose what should go in that bag to give out to people are some quality human beings. They did not just give you a random drugstore lipstick that was on sale at the time, they gave a 16 ounce coconut hair mask jar. They did not just throw in a nail polish, THEY THREW IN THEY'RE REAL MASCARA. They really stepped up their game and now I understand why my ticket was a little pricey.

Here are some of the new products that I'm using in this look!

-Lips: NYX Whipped Fouette in the color Dark Cloud
-Ardell False Lashes
-Eyeliner Brush: Real Techniques silicone eyeliner brush
-Tarte Amazonian clay finishing powder

I have my makeup tutorial video below! Hope you all like it!

DIY PLANNER ORGANIZATION & ACCESSORIES

Hey everyone!
It's been a pretty busy week, but I'm finally feeling better from being sick! This past week was pretty tough because I didn't want to miss school but I was sick at the same time so...glad that's over with!
The other thing that I'm glad is over is my SAT prep class I had this weekend.
It was four hours long.
It was on Saturday and Sunday morning. 
There was a 300 page textbook involved. 
We read every page.

However....I did have time to post a new video! I'm pretty excited about this one because I tend to be one of those annoying super organized people with multi-colored post-it notes everywhere and reminders on my phone calendar.

Click the video below to watch how I did this!

Fall DIYS: Creative & Easy 2015

Hey everyone! I's my first October post:)

How have you been? I like making these bog posts because I feel like I'm emailing friends lol:) (wait but who emails friends?...idk, just go with it!) I've been super busy this month, but in a good way. Besides being sick for the past week, I've had a lot of fun hanging out with friends and just enjoying the fall vibes.
a few days ago I did a Fall DIY video, and since I really like making these DIYs (and since I just like fall in general), I decided to make a little photo collage thingy for you!
These glitter acorns are my FAVORITE. I could make a hundred of these and not get bored. When I was going for a walk, I noticed some perfect-looking acorns on the sidewalk so I picked them uo just because they were so cute. I didn't know they'd end up in a video all sparkly!
 
 


The other DIY I did is what I call "Fall in a Jar." I basically filled my mason jar with fake leaves. acorns, and sparkles and then shook it up and decorated it with ribbon. The colors give off such a fall feel and it's really fun to make too! Imagine opening the jar and seeing how pretty it would look! You could make a jar like this for any season...and now that I think of it, I have a really good winter DIY idea! :)













The last DIY is this white pumpkin that I decorated. I'm sure you could buy pumpkins that are white in a craft store, but I just used a pumpkin from my garden and spray painted it white. Once it was dry, I just took a Sharpie and decorated it! 

Here's the video if you'd like to know how to make any of these DIYS!

Let me know if you make any of these and send me a picture if you do! My instagram is _kimsstyle99 and my twitter is @kimsstyle99!
Just remember I'm always here for you guys! See you soon,
