MY SCHOOL ROUTINE {FALL 2016}

Happy Monday! Since the semester is officially in full swing, mid-terms are in the past and winter break is in sight (hurry up, please!), I thought it was time to share an updated peek at what my days have been like! Usually my days end up being pretty hectic, but I try and squeeze in some relaxation and downtime when I can to keep stress levels low. Here's a little peek into my crazy days...

6:45-7:00... Wake up! 

I usually use this time to scroll through Instagram and Facebook before dragging myself out of bed.

7:00-7:30...Eat breakfast and drink coffee!

The most important part of my day! If I skip on breakfast or coffee, my whole day is thrown off and I'm not as productive. Usually my breakfast consists of a whole grain waffle with peanut butter and a big ol' cup of coffee. This is pretty quick, easy to make and keeps me full until lunchtime!

7:30-8:00...Get ready!

I never skip my skincare routine my morning isn't complete without giving my skin a good cleanse with my favorite Tula cleanser, refreshing toner, and hydrating eye cream. I don't wear too much makeup for class but I always like to wear my favorite powder foundation and mascara!

8:30...Leave for campus!

Since I don't live on campus, I like to leave pretty early to make sure I can get a good parking spot. I pack up my backpack and throw on my go-to outfit that usually consists of my lulu leggings and a comfy lilly inspired college sweatshirt and head out!

9:00...Work work work work work!

I usually get to campus pretty early (like, a few hours early!) so I can try and work on homework or File to Style stuff! I feel like I'm way more productive in the morning!

Afternoon...Class!

I have most of my classes in the afternoon, usually I'm in class for a few hours and between classes I eat lunch and hang out with my friends!

6:00...Get home & eat dinner!

7:00... Shower and get ready for the next day!

I try and pack my lunch, pick out my outfit and get as much as I can ready for the day so my morning won't be too hectic!

8:00-11:00...Study, work on homework, work on File to Style stuff!

Because it seems like all I do is study and work on homework. #Collegelife.

11:30-12:00... Lights out!

I hope you enjoyed a peek into my day! What does a normal school day look like for you? 

PS all the cute artwork you see is from Evelyn Henson!

WE'RE BACK! + FILE TO STYLE PEN GIVEAWAY!

Hello friends! Sorry for being a little MIA over the past few weeks... both of us got caught up in the hustle and bustle of the busy back-to-school season! Now that we both have somewhat of a routine between work, school, and of course our Etsy Shop (filetostyle), we are so excited to get back to blogging and sharing our file to style favorites with you all!

To kick off the "re-launch" of our blog, we thought it would be fun to do a giveaway with our very own File to Style Pens!  If you've been following us you know we recently launched 2 styles of ballpoint pens that are super cute, stylish and pass our perfect pen writing test.

We will be giving away 2 sets of pens along with a coordinating Rifle Paper notebook. We at File to Style love ourselves a cute little notebook that can be thrown in your bag for any last minute thoughts or to-do lists.

The first style is our navy and hot pink, preppy stripe pen with blue ink.  We absolutely love this style and it always brings us back to warm weather, Lilly Pulitzer shift dresses and beach vacations.

Our second style is a light blue and navy gingham  pen with blue ink.  The minute these beauties arrived we were so excited to show them off.  We decided to launch them in Fall because gingham makes us think of sweater weather, apple orchards and pumpkin spice lattes. To get more of our love of gingham check out this post.

To enter see our Insta feed @filetostyle for giveaway details.

P.S. You can enter both giveaways to double your chances of winning ;-)

Good luck!

A PEEK INSIDE MY PENCIL POUCH

Is it just me, or has this back to school season seemed like the busiest one yet?? Maybe it's just because I started a new school this year, but I feel like all I've done the past few weeks is homework! Anyone else?

Since I'm constantly in the library or camped out at Starbucks getting work done, I thought I would start a little series on the blog about what tools I use to stay focused as well as what I lug around with me all day on campus since I commute five days a week. Today, I'm starting with a peek inside my pencil pouch!

Of course I have to start off with my cute pink pencil pouch that I scored at Target for under $10!

I like to keep a set of cute post-it notes handy so I can write out my to-do lists, or flag important notes in my textbooks and notebooks. The page flags in this set come in handy as well to mark my page in my planner!

I always make sure to keep a roll or two of correction tape on me at all times since I mainly write in pen. This is great for when I have a due date change in my planner, or if I mess up while writing notes during a lecture.

I never leave the house without my set of LePens since those are what I use to color-code my planner. I also like to use the different colors to make flashcards when I'm studying!

Highlighters are my BFFs because I literally use them for everything. I use these to cross of things from my to-do list in my planner, I use a different color to indicate when projects are due and when test dates are, and I also use them when taking notes to highlight important information!

I like to keep a few pencils on hand for my math class and for filling in scantrons on test days.

Last but certianly not least, I never go anywhere without a pack of our very own pink and navy striped pens! These honestly are my favorite pens because they write so smooth and they don't smudge!

Thanks for stopping by!

FILE TO STYLE ETSY SHOP LAUNCH!

If you've been following along on our blog and our Instagram for a while, you've probably seen these pink and navy striped pens pop up all summer. Good news... They're finally available and ready to purchase!!

We have been working so hard all summer on these pretty pens, and we made sure to have every little detail just right all the way down to the bubble mailers we'll use to ship them out!

Now that our pens are available we are already dreaming up our next color combo as well as new products to add to our Etsy shop that will look perfect on your well dresses desk!

You can purchase a pack of 3 pens that comes wrapped complete with a File to Style sticker which makes a perfect gift for teachers this back-to-school season! You could also snag a pack or two for yourself to keep on your desk or in your pencil pouch! Since school has started, I always make sure to keep a set handy in my backpack because these are perfect for taking notes!

You can also buy a single pen- perfect for keeping in your purse, or you can buy multiple that would make really cute little party favors! These pens are so cute and they write so smooth I have people ask me where I got them all. the. time! 

The pens write in blue ink and are ballpoint- but they write with a smooth gel-like style but without smudging ink! I even have a friend who writes left-handed and can't say enough good things about them!

We know you're going to love these pens just as much as we do, and it would mean so much if you stopped by and checked out our Etsy shop!

XOXO

AROUND TOWN // LAST SUMMER WEEKEND

Where did the summer go?? I feel like  just blinked and it was over! Between my work schedule this coming week, an exciting launch coming to File to Style this Wednesday (!!!) and starting fall classes this Thursday I'm already exhausted. But, I always say the busiest weeks are the best weeks!

Also, a little update: with the fall being a busy time for the both of us, we've decided to cut back to posting here on the blog 3 days a week instead if 5! We thought it would be the best way to share quality content with our readers as well as put the focus and effort into a big project we've been working on! So, check back on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for your dose of File to Style!

Now... a little peek at what we've been up to this weekend!

PHOTO #1: LILLY LOVE

After running around all day on Friday, it was such a nice surprise to see some of my Lilly Pulitzer after party sale goodies rolling in! I got some peices that will be great to wear into the fall and comfy to wear in class!

PHOTO #2: GOAL GETTERS

We've been putting in the hustle this past week trying to get these cute pens ready for purchase! Here is just a little sneak peek we snapped while setting up our little office and shipping space... we like to think of is as "organized chaos'. Ha!

PHOTO #3: FRESH BLOOMS

On Sunday I spent a lot of time prepping for the first day of class coming up... including a practice drive to campus since I'll be commuting (don't judge, I'm terrible with directions!). I was so excited to find a Trader Joe's right across the street from my school, so of course I had to pop in to pick up some fresh flowers and my favorite coffee! If you've never tried Trader Joe's breakfast blend coffee you need to!

Good luck to all of you starting class this week! Let's make it a great semester!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL OUTFIT INSPIRATION // TWINNING WITH YOUR LILLY AGENDA

With the excitement from the Lilly Pulitzer after party sale still fresh, I wanted to share some of my more recent Lilly favorites but with a little twist... I'm matching the patterns on the Lilly agendas to a few clothing pieces that would make a perfect first day of school outfit!

And yes, I'm that girl that walks into the first day of class totally matching my planner. ;)

OUTFIT #1: LAID BACK LILLY

Exotic Garden popover // Large Lilly Pulitzer agenda // Pink Nike 'Roshe One' shoes // Zella 'Live in' crop leggings

This outfit is comfy and cute- perfect for lazy day or a chilly fall day! I feel like I wear a variation of this outfit practically every day during the fall and winter semesters, but it's so easy to throw on and the Lilly popovers are a great alternative to a sweatshirt since they're so fun and look a bit more put together!

You could also swap out the popover in this outfit for a Lilly inspired college sweatshirt!

OUTFIT #2: LILLY LUNCH DATE

Island Time t-shirt dress // Large Lilly Pulitzer agenda // Sam Edelman 'Felecia' flats // Colorblock tote

Pack up your tote bag with your agenda, notebooks and wallet, throw on this easy t-shirt dress and this look will take you from class to your special lunch date! I love that the Lilly t-shirt dresses are comfy, cute and fun to wear! I can't wait to wear mine for the first few weeks of the semester!

OUTFIT #3: LAYERED IN LILLY

Lilly Pulitzer elsa top // Navy J.Crew vest // booties // Large Lilly Pulitzer agenda

This last outfit is perfect for those later fall days that are crisp and a little chilly, but you don't need your heavy duty winter jacket yet. Obviously pink and navy is one of our favorite color combinations and we even love incorporating it in our outfits!

Thanks for stopping by, we would love to know how you would twin with your agenda!

XOXO

DREAMING UP A NEW OFFICE WITH POTTERY BARN TEEN

I recently received the Pottery Barn Teen magazine in the mail and seriously feel in love with something on every page.  A cup of coffee later and dog ears on every page I'm convinced there's something for everyone in this catalog.  Neither of us here at File to Style have the luxury of having a separate space designated for just an office so we both have space set aside in our bedrooms.  In order to use the space wisely I tend to find desks, chairs, accessories  designed for small spaces like teen rooms or dorm rooms almost the perfect size for what I need.  But we all have dreams right?...so check out our Dream Desk pinterest board for more inspiration.

Here are a few items I have my eye on:

Bulletin Board: Who doesn't need a good quality bulletin board to pin ideas,  motivational quotes, reminders and pictures to keep you inspired while you work.

via

Desk Organizer: These items are probably the most crucial for keeping order on any desk.  When I found this set that includes a pencil cup, magazine caddy, and divided tray in hot pink I knew it was love at first sight. Oh and if hot pink isn't your thing don't worry they have the most amazing turquoise and gold polka dot options to choose from. 

via

Desk and Storage: After I got over the initial love affair with the blue and white striped walls...swoon. I absolutely feel in love (a 2nd time) with the desk and the amount of storage.  I really like how there's 2 work areas and it doesn't take up that much space.  If we're having an impromptu blog meeting or I'm working while my kids are doing homework this is the perfect set up.  

via

Well I'm off to finish my cup of coffee and convince my husband why blue and white striped walls are a good idea...wish me luck :-)

5 TIPS FOR A BETTER MORNING

Sticking with the theme of back-to-school and since I know those early wake up calls are always the hardest thing to get used to after sleeping in all summer long, I wanted to share a few of my favorite tips to get the morning started on the right side of the bed!

I always try to include every one of these tips (some mornings are better than others!) as well as somewhat stick to a routine- when I do, I always feel like I'm more awake and in a better mood throughout the day! It's way easier to deal with that 8am math class when you haven't just rolled out of bed, trust me. So, here are my 5 tips for a better morning...

1.) GET OUT OF BED...

The second you turn off your alarm, get out of bed! Don't hit snooze, don't lay in bed and browse all of your social media accounts... just get out of bed! This will help you start to wake up since you won't be laying in bed thinking about how tired you are.

2.) EAT BREAKFAST AND DRINK COFFEE...

Eating breakfast in the morning is so important! This will start your metabolism as well as give you the energy you're going to need to tackle your busy day. If you're not a big breakfast eater- try something small and easy like an apple or a banana, a granola bar or a smoothie. Something is always better than nothing. Oh, and don't forget to brew up your favorite cup of coffee!

3.) PLAY YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC...

Turn up your favorite tunes in the morning! Set the mood with some calming and energizing songs that will get you ready to take on the day! Currently my favorite album to play in the morning is Handwritten by Shawn Mendes, but I also love all of his music. This is the perfect mix of soft and slow and fun and energizing- perfect motivation for the day ahead!

4.) PACK YOUR BAG AND LAY OUT YOUR CLOTHES THE NIGHT BEFORE...

Picking out your outfit and making sure your bags are packed the night before makes any morning routine run so much smoother. Honestly, there's nothing worse than rushing to pick out and outfit to end up throwing something sloppy on or not being prepared for your day because you completely forgot to pack your bag!

5.) TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF...

Wake up a half an hour earlier and take some time for yourself! It can be watching an episode of your favorite T.V. show, journaling, making a to-do list or just drinking your coffee in peace. I use this time to wake up and ease into my morning routine, usually with HGTV on in the background. If I don;t take this time for myself I feel like my whole day is thrown off!

Hopefully these tips were helpful for this upcoming semester!

XOXO

AROUND TOWN // BIRTHDAY WEEKEND FUN!

Happy Monday everybody! This weekend was a great one- Friday we went up to one of our favorite outdoor malls for coffee and a little window shopping and Sunday I had two little birthday parties! It was such a great way to spend one of the last weekends before class starts!

BTW- If you're not shopping the Lilly Pulitzer after party sale right now then what are you doing?!?

PHOTO #1 WEEKEND FUN & COFFEE RUNS

Friday night we took a trip to our favorite outdoor mall and of course we had to stop for a Starbucks! It was so much fun popping into our favorite shops as well as take a break to sip our coffee and chat about some very exciting things coming to File to Style at the end of this month!

PHOTO #2 PAPERSOURCE PARTY

After finishing our coffee we stopped by one of our favorite stores- Papersource! We always leave so inspired with all their fun products and brightly decorated store! This particular day they even had decoration station set up so you could bring in your planner and decorate it with all their cool washi tape, stamps, stickers and pens for F-R-E-E! How cool?!

PHOTO #3 BIRTHDAY FUN!

My birthday was actually this past Wednesday, so this weekend I was able to squeeze some celebrations in! On Sunday all the sweet girls I work with thew me a little party complete with pizza, cupcakes and even a donut backpack! That was so much fun! Later on in the evening our whole family went out to dinner and had even more pizza and cake... can you say carb overload?! Thanks to everyone who made my birthday so special!

We hope you have a great week!

XOXO

LILLY PULITZER AFTER PARTY SALE!

By now we're sure you've all heard the exciting news... the annual Lilly Pulitzer after party sale is happening Monday, August 22nd! We're beyond excited to score a few goodies at a major discount. You should know that between the two of us, we have a slight obsession with Lilly Pulitzer- between the fun colors and one-of-a-kind prints this brand is a favorite for sure.

Some of our favorite items Lilly offers are the easy and comfy t-shirt dresses (like the one I'm wearing in this pic!) as well as the amazing agendas! Both are perfect to snag before heading back to school this semester- trust us, you'll get so much use out of both!

This year I made a little list of things that I'm hoping to add to my closet from the sale including a sweater or two to transition my wardrobe for fall, a new popover since I seriously wear mine to class every other day and of course a pretty new Lilly dress!

Are you guys excited about the sale next week- what are you hoping to add to your Lilly collection?!

XOXO

FALL WISHLIST

ruffle hem tee // funnelneck sweatshirt // felt hat

ankle booties // camel jacket // open front cardigan

black leggings // blush sunglasses

With fall right around the corner it has me dreaming about cozy sweaters, hot cider and pumpkin spice everything! Naturally, I channeled all that excitement into a little fall wishlist /shopping guide.

I love pieces that you can mix and match with multiple things to make tons of new outfits that look fresh and new every time you wear them- and that's where good basics come into play! I love finding cute basic tees that are a little different- like the one from Anthropologie pictured above! You can throw this basic tee on with a pair of jeans and some cute booties and you have an easy, comfy fall outfit! Throw on a cozy cardigan, a cute little hat and some sassy sunnies and you're ready for a pumpkin spice latte date!

I can't wait to go shopping for all the fall essentials- now I just have to wait until the weather cools down a bit!

GET ORGANIZED // 5 THINGS TO START WRITING IN YOUR PLANNER

These past few weeks we've been a little bit planner obsessed- but we can't help it, planners are seriously amazing! Especially during the busy school year when I have to keep track of my work schedule, bills that are due, school assignments, projects, tests and not to mention wanting to have some sort of social life... I don't know how I'd get through without using a planner!

Later on in the semester I'm planning on sharing how I've been organizing my Rifle Paper Co. planner (which I've been loving BTW!), however I want to wait until I actually have some assignments written in there. For now, I thought I would share 5 things I think you should be writing in your planner that will help you stay organized!

1.) Class schedule and assignments- This one is probably a no-brainer, but it's so important to do if you want to stay on top of your grades! The day you get your syllabus, take an hour or so when you get home to write everything in your planner- test days, projects and due dates, extra credit assignments... anything and everything that is on that slip of paper! There is always a chance of dates being changed (which is super annoying, especially when you write in pen!), but that's why correction tape was invented! Trust me- stock up on this stuff.

2.) Work schedule and paydays- Probably another no-brainer, but you need to have it written down- especially when you don't work the same days every week! Since I started going to school I've always had a part time job that I need to schedule classes and studying around. Sometimes it can be difficult, but it's so much easier when you have your entire schedule written down and laid out in front of you! Also, writing down paydays and how much you get paid makes budgeting and saving money so much easier!

3.) Bill due dates- Right now I have a few things I need to pay for each month like my car insurance and phone bill (oh, and Netflix- just the important things.), and things like that I can't be late paying for! Writing it down in my planner when those bills are due as well as how much I owe is so helpful when I'm budgeting all my paychecks!

4.) Appointments- Anytime I go to an appointment like the dentist or the dermotoligist I make sure to throw my planner in my bag so I can schedule my next appointment. In my opinion, one of the most annoying things is to have to reschedule something 100 times because you didn't know you had class or had to go into work. Bringing you planner and scheduling right there saves a lot of frustration in the future. Also, write it down as soon as you schedule so you don't forget!

5.) Social commitments- If you're invited to a party, wedding, or even want to get coffee with a friend schedule it and write it down! Especially during the school year when your free time might not be as frequent scheduling things that you want to do is really helpful. Plus, you'll get excited when you see that your next coffee date is after your 8am lecture!

Hopefully these little tips were helpful for getting organized! Is there anything that you write in your planner that we don't have listed?

Happy planning!

AROUND TOWN // BACK-TO-SCHOOL SHOPPING

Happy Monday, everybody! We hope you enjoyed your weekend, this weekend we've been preparing for the busy back-to-school season- cleaning out backpacks, thinking up healthy lunch ideas and of course running over to our local Target to stock up on school supplies! We thought it would be fun to bring you along as well as share some of our BTS favs!

PHOTO #1 PRETTY PLANNERS

Even though it seems like we own a million planners between the both of us, we can't help ourselves when we see pretty planners! How can you resist simple gold dots or pretty florals? If you only get one thing before heading back to class this fall, you definitely need a good planner to keep track of your crazy busy life!

PHOTO #2 BRIGHT BINDERS

If you read our college school supplies list we posted last week, you would know about my love for binders! There are so many perks about staying organized with binders... they'll last forever, you can customize them from the front cover to how you organize it on the inside and you can even double up on binders for classes to save room and a little bit of money! Seriously, you can't go wrong.

PHOTO #3 WASHI TAPE

Okay, so technically washi tape isn't a necessity when you're back-to-school shopping... but it's so fun! With a few rolls of washi tape you can do tons of fun back-to-school DIYs like decorating notebooks, pencils, or even your laptop or locker! Personally I love using it in my planner just to make it look fancy and fun!

PHOTO #4 BACK-TO-SCHOOL BEAUTY

In my opinion heading back to class is the perfect time to stock up on your favorite skincare items, or even pick up a few new goodies to add to your routine! Skincare is so important, especially during the school year when you're relying on coffee to stay awake and pulling all-nighters to cram for that math test- your skin needs the TLC. I rounded up some of my favorite drugstore buys below...

CeraVe eye repair cream- Even though I'm only 20, getting in the habbit of using an eye cream is important! It will help with aging down the road, but it will also keep your eyes bright and awake during class! This is the best I've tried so far and it's under $15!

Simple micellar cleansing water- Not only does this product remove all of my makeup (even waterproof mascara!) but it gives my skin a nice cleanse before I go in with my favorite cleanser!

CoverGirl clump crusher- This is my favorite mascara, and it's so inexpensive since it's from the drugstore! This curls my lashes and makes them look really pretty, so easy to swipe on in the morning before heading to class.

Thanks for stopping by and happy school shopping!

XOXO

MY FAVORITE PLANNER STICKERS // SWEET KAWAII DESIGN

Happy Friday! This week has been a busy one... we've barely found time to blog! Busy weeks always end up being the best weeks, don't you agree?? Anyway, since we've been sharing all of our back-to-school favorites and especially our favorite planners- I wanted to dedicate a post all about where I get my favorite stickers to use in my planner, Sweet Kawaii Design!

A little disclaimer- I don't go sticker crazy in my planner, but I love to have a few sheets on hand to decorate when I can squeeze it in! Here are some of my favorites to use...

These book stickers actually make schoolwork look fun! I like to use these when I have a ton of homework or a test to study for- tests and projects don't look as scary when there's a smiling book next to it!

If you know me, you would know that donuts are one of my favorite things ever... so you know I always have a sheet of donut stickers on hand! Since weekend donut runs are a thing over here I tend to get a lot of use out of these... plus I just stick them wherever I want because they're so cute!

Technically these are considered hot cocoa stickers, but I like to think of them as lattes! I'm a big fan of coffee and obviously coffee is a big part of my day... how could I function without it?! So little coffee stickers were a must. These are fun for coffee dates, or to stick on your planner daily!

Omg, how adorable are these little fall stickers?! With fall right around the corner and all the trips to the cider mill. hay rides, corn mazes and pumpkin spice everything you need these!

Do you use stickers in your planner? Thanks for stopping by and make sure to check out Sweet Kawaii Design on Etsy!

COLLEGE SCHOOL SUPPLIES SHOPPING LIST

One of my favorite things about the back-to-school season is shopping for fresh school supplies! However, since college kids don't usually get one of those fancy shopping lists telling you everything you're going to need for each class, I've had to figure out my own organization system and come up with my own shopping list. With this being my third year in college already (omg I'm getting old?!?) I have this whole organization and note-taking thing down to a science... or at least pretty close! Today I wanted to share what I think are the most important supplies you'll need to get through the upcoming school year- I even put together a fancy shopping list you can save to your phone and bring with you to target so you get everything you need to succeed!

1.) Planner- In college you need a planner. Without one, you'll be lost- trust me. There are so many more assignments, test dates, projects, etc. that you'll need to keep track of, as well as a job or any extra curricular activities you're planning on joining- and if you think you can just remember everything without writing it down, you're wrong. There are so many fun planners out there you'll definitely be able to find one that fits your lifestyle!

2.) Binders- Personally I like to use binders to organize my notes- that way I can reuse them each semester and I don't feel bad about wasted paper that was left over. These are my favorite to use because they're so durable and under $4! You also can't forget the filler paper and cute dividers!

3.) Cute notebooks- Although binders are my go-to, I can't help but get one or two notebooks from the back-to-school section! Notebooks are always a good thing to have on hand just in case a teacher actually requires you to use one. Plus, how could I not get this donut notebook??

4.) Pencil pouch- Of course you need a cute new pencil pouch to hold all of your favorite pens, pencils and highlighters!

5.) Index cards & sticky notes- I go through index cards like water! These really work when you use them to study material for a test. Also, I like to use sticky notes in my textbooks as an alternative to actually writing in them so at the end of the semester I can go back and remove them in hopes of getting a few more $$ back when I resell!

6.) Backpack- Finally, you need a cute backpack that fits alllll the things! I purchased a backpack from Madeline & Co. last year when they first came out and I still love it! Seriously, it fits so much- and mine has my school colors on it!

Hopefully this post was helpful during BTS shopping!

A VERY BLUEBERRY OATMEAL

Today we are stepping a bit out of our comfort zone of the typical file to style posts and share a quick  recipe that is too delicious not to share with our readers.

Mornings are always so hectic in my house between getting ready for work, unloading dishes, switching laundry, catching up with emails, thumbing through my insta feed (and now watching insta stories) I needed a quick and healthy breakfast.

After our trip to the farmer's market I bought way to many blueberries.  I mean how was I supposed to resist the cuteness of how they were displayed in their teal containers.  So simple yet so irresistible.

I absolutely love blueberry pancakes but reserve those to the weekends when I have more time to cook.  For the weekdays I came up with something I could fix in under 2 minutes.  Blueberry Oatmeal.

Ingredients:
1 cup of water
1/2 cup of quick cooking oats
1/2 cup of blueberries
2 tablespoons of honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

Bring water to a boil then stir in oats.  

Add blueberries, honey and cinnamon.  Stir for 1 min.  Remove from heat and let stand for 3 mins to cool.  Enjoy!!

See I told you it was super easy, quick and healthy.  I've even thought of adding more things like raisins or almonds.  

Hope you get a chance to try this and let us know how you like it.

xoxo,

Amy and Angela
