New Design + New Name

I am so sorry for trashing your dashboard with imported posts! I had a bit of an issue while moving things around, and in the end, Blogger recognized all the imported posts as having been posted today! Now I'm required to do a word verification every time this draft saves itself - just to prove I'm not a robot. Crazy!
Anyways, I've updated the design (only a few touch-ups left to do). What do you think? I love it! I worked on it quite a bit yesterday, but the results were totally worth it! And yes, I will be posting an actual non-update post soon. I just need to get a few photos watermarked. ;)
Have fun exploring everything! I updated all my pages, as well as the 'about me' dropdown (need to add a new photo), and I also added in a music playlist to my sidebar, with all the songs I love to listen to on my iPod (you really need to check out Something Heavenly). Oh, and be sure to grab my new button! :)

Before... and After

Before...

...and after...

As much as I loved my red design, I felt I needed to change things around a bit, so I came up with a new wintery design! How do you like it? :)

I think it turned out really well, almost exactly as I'd imagined it! Be sure to grab my new blog button on your way 'out'! ;)

Currently Designing...

Things may start looking kinda crazy in the next hour or so. I'm redesigning... and listening to Owl City besides! :) Please stand by while I sort things out!

Iced Cream Coffee

How's everyone's November going? So far, mine has been great! This week I saw The Three Musketeers (Soundtrack. Is. Awesome.) with a friend, started reading The Hunger Games (It's really good so far!), and watched the first few episodes of Little Dorrit (Claire Foy is so sweet! I definitely want her acting as Tess in the upcoming Kingdom Series Movie!)... and yes, I also had an Iced Cream Coffee. I promised I'd post the recipe on here, so here it is... complete with photos too! :)

You will need...

1/2 cup cold coffee (if it's warm that's fine, just make sure it's not hot-hot)

2/3 cup milk

5-6 ice cubes

2 scoops vanilla ice-cream (I prefer using french vanilla, but that's just a personal preference ;)

blender

I measured out the coffee and milk using cups but then poured them both into glasses (because they're more photogenic :P)

This will make one serving, but take my advice and double all the ingredients! You'll be glad you did. ;)

Step 1: Put everything in blender

It should look something like this when you're done:

Step 2: Blend!

I turn the blender on ice crush for about thirty seconds and then use the normal setting for another thirty. When you're done you should have some foam on top:

Step 3: Pour and enjoy!

I like to spoon a little of the foam into my glass as well! :)

Well, there you go! It's that simple... and it tastes delicious! :) Hope you enjoy it!

P.S. How do you all like the new design? My blogoversary is coming up in 3 days, so I thought I'd freshen things up a bit! :) Be sure to grab my new blog button from the sidebar!
