Loving: This mermaid braid tutorial from Cup of Jo. I normally dislike hair tutorials because they position themselves as simple and are then way hard (for me), but this one is my jam! It was so easy and who doesn't want an Elsa braid? It's perfect for days when I don't want to wash my hair, but still want to look pulled together.

To prove how easy it was, I tried the braid and documented it for you. Although you can't really tell that this is a double braid from my pic, I promise it is. And it took about 30 seconds. Baddabing!


Eating: At the recommendation of my brothers, I switched my overnight oats to steel cut instead of rolled. Holy moly! They're so much better! They taste like grape nuts. Here's how I make them:

Ingredients:
1/2 cup steel-cut oats
1/2 cup almond milk
1 tablespoon chia seeds
Cinnamon to taste
2 tablespoons collagen (optional and will not impact taste)

To make:
1. Mix all four ingredients in a glass jar.
2. Stir well.
3. Store overnight, covered in fridge

The next day, I top mine with Sun Butter and blueberries. And voila!


Thinking about:  This Elite Daily read:  How Your Personality Type Predicts What Your Dream Job Will Be. I'm a huge fan of Myers-Briggs. I'm an ENFJ and mine was spot on! Dream on, dreamers.

Inspired by: Another Elite Daily read (I swear they aren't paying me for this!):  50 I Don’ts You Should Agree On Before You Say ‘I Do’. I don't agree with everything they say, but I love the idea behind it.

Intrigued by: The  Iron You's  Cauliflower Crust Grilled Cheese. I haven't had a grilled cheese in a minute! I'll be sure to report back in November when I'm craving comfort food. I reckon this will be making an appearance.
