My friend Emma was so kind to let us come and photograph her cool attic room/loft! I find it cool cause of the cool ceilings or walls are different and the way see decorated it! Although I helped her put the finishing touches together, it looked great when we were done making it perfect. See for yourself!

Mint Vanilla Chilled Coffee

Everyone loves coffee but I know in ATL it can get hot in the summer months so, we have to find different options! Iced coffee is delicious and refreshing! This drink would be the perfect drink to make if one of your July nights you are having a grill out or for a morning  boost! It is fairly simple and easy to make. This recipe does include freezing something overnight.

You will be making coffee ice cubes, mint syrup and then the final product.

Ingredients

Serves: 3

Cook time: With coffee iced cubes overnight (with out about an hour)

Coffee Ice Cubes

1/2 Fresh coffee (we used a brew Vanilla by Starbucks) 

Any type of sweet cream creamer 

Mint Syrup 

2 cups (depending how minty you want it)

1 cup of sugar

1 cups of mint (again depending on how you like it)

1 teaspoon of vanilla exact 

Final Product

Your coffee ice cubes (if you don't have time plain works the same)

A tablespoon of mint(for decoration) 

Your creamer

Directions 

1. Brew coffee for the ice cubes(if you are using normal ice skip 1-3).
2. Mix in the creamer. 
3. Pour into a ice tray and let in chill in the freezer for at least 7 hours.
4. When your ice is ready leave it in the freezer but brew 2 more cups of coffee.
5. Next get a sauce pot out and fill it with the water, sugar, mint leaves and vanilla extract. 
6. The stove should be on high the entire time you are boiling. Watch it and about 10 minutes in it will boil. Let it boil for a couple minutes (3) and turn it off.
7. We then poured the syrup with leaves into a bowl. If you have time let it sit on the counter if not stick it straight into the fridge. If you do have time leave it on the counter but don't forget about it cause you still need to pop it into the fridge for 10 minutes.
8. After 20 minutes take out the syrup. It should be a little colder than room temperature. 
9. Take the coffee you brewed half an hour ago and mix in the creamer (sugar/milk).
10. In your glasses put your ice cubes in first. Pour the syrup in (the amount you like) and stir up! 
11. Find cute straws then add fresh mint leaves!
12. Ta-da!

Quick easy waves

This is a quick easy way to get beautiful summer beach waves.

Number 1: You need to have wet hair.

Take a shower and then let it air dry! I don't use a brush on my hair but you can.

Number 2: The right products. Me & Jaci's go to is "It's a 10 Miracle Leave in Conditioner plus Keratin" which can get pricy LINK . Also "Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Sea Salt Spray" which is the perfect price at 5.99 LINK.

Number 3: Style

You can leave it down.

Throw it up in a pony.

Or split your hair in to two chunks and braid each side. Once you do that pull it up!
