Things That Take One Week

 01.) Building a house.

02.) A movie no one saw with Joshua Jackson.

03.) Your period (duh).

04.) A song by the Bare Naked Ladies.

05.) The amount of time I have before school is over.

To Portland, Please! 

I spy on Portland via UrbanWeeds, a street style blog. 

I'm always inspired by street style blogs. 

Sometimes when I think I have nothing in my closet, someone's picture and outfit inspires me.  

I love her, and her shoes. Did you go to the farmers market in those!? My hero. 

I heart these tights.

Simple and sophisticated. 

Boots!

The bag does it for me. 

She is my favorite. Gimme the bike.

Enjoy your Tuesday!  

Keep on truckin' Em! you're almost done!

love you, mean it.

Monday is the New Sunday

Raise your hands if you like delicious homemade breakfasts but are kinda lazy and don't wanna do like 18 hours of prep the night before...  Yeah me too.

I recently found this super easy recipe for vegan cinnamon buns.  They aren't as amazing as Cinnaholic - but we all don't live in Berkeley.  Annnd they are closed on Mondays...

Quick and Dirty Vegan Cinnamon Buns


• 1 c white all-purpose flour
• 1 c whole wheat flour
• 4 Tbsp vegan margarine
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 3/4 c vanilla almond milk
• 3/4 c brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp melted margarine

Icing:
powdered sugar
vanilla almond milk
(Using powdered sugar and a splash of almond milk.  Mix together to desired consistency and amount)

Preheat oven to 450.˚  Combine flour, salt and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.  Cut in margarine and massage the marg into the flour mixture using your fingers (it's fun!).  Then add the almond milk.  It's easiest to knead together using your hands.  Roll dough into a ball and place on a floured surface.  Roll into a rectangular shape (mine was sorta oblong).

Brush melted marg and sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top.  From the long side of the roll, tightly roll into a tube placing the seam on the bottom.  Then cut the roll into 1" rolls (makes 12 - 15 buns).

Place rolls into a greased baking dish (I used pie tins).  Bake for 12-13 minutes, until poufy and golden.

You can ice these bad boys while they are still hot because you want the icing all melty and gooey-like.

Then enjoy!

Are you there cat? It's me Emily.

Current blog crush: The Catalyst.  Design nut Jenny Ryf and her man-friend write the blog about pretty much anything that inspires them.  Each inspiration is sectioned off by category.  My favorite?  "Famous People + Cats."  As the name cleverly states it's pictures of celebrities and their cats.  I'm actually kicking myself a little for not thinking of it first.  Here are a handful of my favorites:
