Where Have I Been?

Hey! You've probebly been staring at this page for a year and asked yourself, "where is she?" Sophomore year was crazy and junior year will only be crazier (SATs, drivers ed, you name it). I was just so busy with school work and appointments of every kind. I'm so sorry about not posting. This year, I am committing to this blog. I have so many things to share with you guys and hope that you guys keep reading this blog!

fall favorites: pumpkin spice latte, mustaches and more!

Hey guys! Now that fall is in full swing, I'll be writing posts about fall fashion, beauty, and little knicknacks like this. Let me know what kind of "fall related" posts you would like me to do in the comments below!

1. Pumpkin Spice Latte

I went to Starbucks on Saturday and realized a lot of beauty gurus on youtube have been raving about this fall favorite for a while. So I decided to give it a shot (so punny...LOL.) After the first sip, I literally fell in love. Everyone loves Starbucks, but sometimes the long lines and the prices can throw people off. So, why wait in a long line and pay a lot for something you crave? I found the exact same drink that you can make yourself at home, and it doesn't take a long time to make, which is a plus. This drink is great for when you're outside and shivering. This REALLY warms you up instantly. Definitely something I'll be repurchasing throughout fall and winter!
Here's how you make it!

2. Mustache tees

When I first saw this adorable long sleeve mustache tee from Delia's website, I literally wanted to rush to the store and pick it up! This is a great shirt for fall, and I love how it's orange with black text, great for halloween! If I had this shirt (I'm buying it the next time I go into Delia's!), I would pair it with jeans or leggings and uggs. I also love the hi-lo hem! This top is screaming my name!

3. Cider Lane 

This scent reminds me of an apple orchard, apple cider and most importantly, fall!

4. Germany Collection by OPI

Lately, I've been loving and wearing berry shades on my nails for fall. I love the trend and I think it will carry on into the winter as well. The Germany Collection from OPI really reminds me of the leaves changing in the fall. What does it remind you of?

Yellow: Don't Talk Bach To Me

Orange: Schnapps Out Of It!

Red-Orange: Deutsch You Want Me Baby?

Red: Danke Shiny Red

Burgundy: German-icure

Shimmery Purple: Suzi & The 7 Dusseldorfs

School Spritz: 3 Healthy After- School Snacks

Also, whenever I upload a video there, I will put them here so you guys can watch them! I will be doing a "what's in my bag?" video and a "room tour" video soon so stay tuned for that! Have any other video requests for me? Please comment below! I would love to hear from you guys! Also, for video requests or if you want to just chat with me, I got a new email so please inbox me at: tiffanipan2@gmail.com. Also, I am making a vlog channel as well, which is for personal and random videos. If you know how to get a second channel on youtube, PLEASE let me know in the comments below, because that would help me and others who are looking to do this too!

I'm starting a new series for you guys called "school spritz". It's basically where I give you advice on stress, making friends, and all that jazz relating to school! I will also be making videos about these topics, so you can also see me while I'm talking to you guys, not just reading an essay by me....boring right?

You know those days when you come home from a long day of school and look in the fridge and think to yourself, "what am I going to eat for snack today?" If you have this dilemma, you're not alone! I go through this dilemma too, and I'm pretty sure others do too! In this guide, I looked up healthy foods you can snack on when you come home from school.

Check them out below...


Mix-n-Match Trail Mix. Making your own healthy trail mix is a great way to experiment with different whole grain cereals, nuts, dried fruits and even chocolate. Start with a fiber base of two different whole grain cereals, one cup of each. Add one cup of mixed nuts like almonds, cashews, peanuts or Brazil nuts and a half cup of dried fruits; raisins, bananas or pineapple will add some natural sweetness to your mix. Optionally, you can add a half cup or less of chocolate chips. Chocolate has some great natural antioxidants and is healthy to eat in small doses.



Fruit Smoothies. Fruit-based smoothies can be just as delicious as high-calorie milkshakes and need only a few ingredients. The best base for smoothies is bananas because they act as a thickener, making smoothies rich and creamy. Keep a few bananas in your freezer so they are already ice cold. One banana per smoothie is all you need. Add other fruits, fresh or frozen, to your smoothie and blend until everything has completely mixed. Encourage your teens to experiment with different fruits; you can even start a smoothie special of the week.


Veggies, Pita and Hummus. My favorite! Chips and dips are the go-to snack for teens, however they are high in saturated fats, unhealthy to eat every day. As an alternative to chips, try freshly cut vegetables like celery, carrots, cauliflower or broccoli. Pita or whole grain crackers also go great with hummus and can be more filling than vegetables. Hummus is a creamy dip made out of chick peas and spices; this dip is a great source of protein and comes in a variety of flavors.

What do you snack on when you come home from school?!

Food for Thought: Lemon Hummus

Ever since the first time I tried Whole Food's Lemon Hummus, I loved it so much that every time I went there to buy food, I always went to pick up the hummus first! LOL. It was just that good! For those of you who don't know what hummus is, it's a dip made from pureed chickpeas. It's a great dip for pretzels, chips, vegetables, and anything else you can think of. It is  I highly recommend trying hummus to anyone who has an open mind about trying new foods or who is bored of the usual salsa ...it's just SO good!

Hummus comes in many different flavors, but my favorite is lemon hummus. I love citrus because the vitamin C in them keeps you healthy at all times. Hummus is great for parties, with chips and veggies on the side. I just realized that making your own lemon hummus is easier than I thought! Just take original hummus (any brand that makes hummus) and squeeze about a quarter to a half a lemon (depending on what acidity you want your hummus to have) and VOILA! Enjoy your hummus!

Would you try hummus? Or make it yourself? What else would you dip into it besides pretzels, chips and veggies?

Tiffani's Style Guide: How to Rock a Pair of Black Pumps

I have a friend who is vacationing in Alaska right now and last night, she asked me what she should wear with black pumps. This summer, I've been doing a lot of shopping and I saw a ton of black pumps in all different fabrics. I like to wear black pumps when the weather permits. I like wearing them with skirts, dresses and jeans. But there are endless ways to wear them, since they're so versatile. Since black pumps are essential in every woman's closet, I decided to show you guys three ways to wear them. Here are three ways I would wear these classy pumps...

Girls' Night Out.  What I love about this blouse is that you can dress it up or down. I love pairing a white blouse with blue jeans and adding a red clutch for a pop of color. This makes me want to go out with my friends right now!

Date Night. The uber-classic LBD and black pumps make a beautiful duo. I added a gold cuff, a ring and diamond earrings for an effortless night out with your boyfriend. 

Family Dinner. Last but not least, the outfit for a night out with your family... When it comes to family dinners, I like pairing an all-over lace tank with colored jeans. Since green is in this fall, I chose these jeans from Charlotte Russe to stay on trend. I like pairing the fairly-simple top with a long necklace and stacked rings to complete the look.

Girls' Night Out:
Blouse, $24.80
Clutch, $10.50
Jeans, $29.70
Pumps, $59.95
Necklace, $6.80

Date Night:
Dress, $20
Pumps, $59.95
Earrings, $3.80
Bracelet, $14.50
Rings, $3.80

Family Dinner:
Tank, $29.50
Jeans, $25
Necklace, $6.80
Rings, $4.80
Pumps, $59.95

So what do you think?! Which one would you wear? Do you have any other ways to wear black pumps? Let me know in the comments below!

TGIF: Tiffany Blue

Lately, I've been obsessed with Tiffany Blue, and whenever I see this color, it reminds me of Audrey Hepburn. It also makes me feel calm, which is good for the school year, especially when there are tests and quizzes to study for. I think it's such a pretty color! Also, I've shopped a lot this summer, and saw a lot of Tiffany Blue colored blouses, skirts, blazers, and even shoes! I think this hue looks great against a plain white blouse, blue jeans and some classic black ballet flats.

Here are my pins from this week...

These cupcakes look so good with the white bows! They look just like the box!

Such a great inspiration! I especially love the bows on the chairs and the lanterns!

So artsy! "Riva" ($27) from Chanel is great for adding a pop of color to a plain white blouse and jeans! And I love how it matches the sky in the background!

Beauty Buzz: 6 of my favorite fall scents

Hi guys! Fall is all about color, so fragrances should be too. I love the bottle in which the actual perfume is encased in. Although I love choosing my perfumes based on how the bottle looks, it is really about how it smells. That is what inspired me to write this post! For fall, I like perfumes that have a fruity and floral vibe to it. One that I use a lot is Ralph Lauren Romance. It smells so good, which is why I keep using it.

Check out my favorite scents below...

Ralph Lauren- Big Pony Women’s Collection #2, $55
Ralph Lauren- Ralph, $52.50
Taylor Swift- Wonderstruck, $49.50
Juicy Couture- Viva La Juicy, $70
Justin Bieber- Girlfriend, $49
Coach- Poppy, $45
