Decorating on the go

The other day I got the great idea I wanted to change the colors of my room. I have some decor around the house that I kept looking at thinking that would be cute in my room, so I am changing the browns in my room to grays. With needing to make sure all the colors go together I went to the hardware store and picked out lots of paint swatches brought them home and matched them to the items that I have. I then hole punched them and stuck them on a key ring. This way here they can live in my purse and when I am out shopping and see something that I like I can pull them out and check the colors so see if it will match.

 

Starbucks DIY

In about as much time as it takes to stand in line at Starbucks and order one of their Grande Light Frappuccinos, you can make one yourself at home and save about $4.00. Just try this Frozen Blended Cappuccino Recipe and enjoy the creamy, coffee flavored goodness that you know and love. Each DIY Frappuccino has just 2 Points + and tastes fantastic. I found that the French Vanilla flavored creamer was sweet enough for me, but feel free to add in a Splenda or two if you want it really sweet. Quick and easy to make, it’s a fantastic low calorie frozen blended coffee drink recipe for any Weight Watcher. And best of all – no fancy espresso machine or name misspelling barista required. Enjoy!
