The Perfect Iced Coffee
Pioneer Woman's Perfect Iced Coffee = Skinny Student's Perfect Breakfast!
This woman is terrific!! She really knows what she is doing here, and coffee is a cheap, great way to help stay skinny!!
Coffee helps us speed up our metabolism and, at least for me, fills me up! I know we're not supposed to skip breakfast, but for those of us who force things down our throats to get through our morning classes, coffee is a perfect substitution. The point of breakfast is to get your body moving- and coffee does just that!!
I'd take a big glass of 10 calorie iced coffee ANYDAY over a pancake or even a bowl of cereal.
The mason jar is a great touch, too. Have your coffee your way!
I like to add skim milk and a little zero sugar caramel or even raspberry syrup (Starbucks' is SO GOOD.) to add a little pizazz!
I want some right now, so that's what I'm going to go do!!
(if you cant stand the taste of coffee, add milk and sugar substitutes until you get used to it, you might surprise yourself!)
Keep saving those pennies- Summer is on it's way!!

Hey friends :)
I hope your weekend was as lovely as YOU!! At the same time, I hope your week is moving in the right direction, and I hope you're saving money and budgeting when you can.. remember to drop those pennies whenever you get the opportunity!!
Today's post may be brief, but I just felt like relaying some of my thoughts.
I have found that when I go to spend money, whether it be a dollar or 30 dollars, I really stop and think about where my money is going, and if I should be saving it for other things that I'll need in the near future. I know it's not easy to deny yourself that new pair of jeans or soda at the gas station (these are just the things that give me trouble) but you really do feel better if you tell yourself you have enough pairs of jeans, and you don't really need the soda, and substitute it for water or something at home. Now, I'm not saying, and never will say, to not treat yourself every now and then... that's just silly. It is important to give yourself little gifts every once and a while, to satisfy cravings that could intensify if they're not met. It's like when you are hungry, eat, before you're starving, and OVEReat. Catch what I'm saying?
That's just my little tidbit of advice for the day... let yourself have little things you want when you really think it's okay. But pay attention to your gut feeling when it's saying "you know you're going to want to spend money next week on that vacation"... because you know it's right!!!
Have a great week!!
Leave me your comments so I know what you guys like and what you're not liking!!

peace and love,
