DIY: Iced Coffee

ICEDCOFFEEICEDCOFFEEICEDCOFFEEICEDCOFFEEICEDCOFFEEICEDCOFFEE

So, I find iced coffee to be extremely good on the days that drinking hot coffee is a little too much! So I was messing around with it earlier, thinking well it cant really be that hard to recreate. So I went for it! Turns out its a lot easier than I anticipated! I was so happy with it that I taught some friends how to make it! I guess we should get to the good stuff now.

The Ingredients:

• • Milk - you can substitute soymilk or whatever you prefer
  • Creamer - whatever your favorite flavor is
  • Instant Coffee -I used the little starbucks packet because thats all we had.
  • Ice

• Step One: Place the instant coffee inside a tall glass
• Step Two: Add about 3/4 of the glass milk

• Step Three: Add in creamer (to desired flavor)
• Step Four: Fill remainder of the glass with ice
• Step Five: Stir and Enjoy.

See how easy it is to make at home! I cant believe some people will spend nearly $5 for something identical, or moreover spend the money to get the brand. Seems like a bunch of gibberish to me! Another thing, if you don't have creamer you can always use half and half with some flavoring syrup if you've got it!

I hope you're having a lovely day,

Morgan Ingle w/Four Spacious Guys

On June 2, 2012 my bestie and I decided to go see a show at the local art gallery place thingy aka The Box Factory. Its a really nice set-up they have going on there, in the main part of the building there are places where artists hang there work and a little stage. In the back however, they have a lot of classrooms where some you can rent out and make into your own studio, and others are used for classes which you can sign up to take. Its really a cool little place.

So the main reason we went to the show is because my friends old co-worker's band was playing (they're the Four Spacious Guys part), but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they covered songs and added all these instruments and sounds to it to make the music sound really good. So I give them props for that. I on the otherhand was not blessed musically and I admire the people who are! Like my best friend Clare! Morgan Ingle is also a local singer and she sang a couple songs with Four Spacious Guys.

Anywho, below are a few pictures and videos from the night. Some of them kind of suck because of some of the poeple in front of us, they're heads are in the way...so sorry!!

(the guy we know is the one in the back in the black shirt, he does all the tambourine, hand drums, maracas, and other things like that).

Anyways, til next time!

birthday blog

So I had never really had a birthday party before. I wanted to do something for my birthday since its on a holiday its hard sometimes because people already have all their plans with family. Celebrating 'MERICA. So I decided to have a little bbq at my house, invite the people I wanted and if they could come..great...if not, it was a last minute thing so it was NBD. But all the beauties that I wanted to be there were there (minus clarey).
These are some pictures of the food, friends, and good memories that were shared on July 4, 2012.
