My Favorite Earl Grey Tea Latte

It's been a while since, I shared one of my favorites. By nature I'm a sharer and  I love sharing things in my life that make me happy: good food, great drinks, the perfect workout playlist, yummy deserts, best paint colors and pretty much anything under the sun I share on my blog series My Favorite. One of my favorites drinks to enjoy during fall and winter is an Earl Grey Tea Latte also called a London Fog. They only take a few minutes to make at home. I prefer using the Tazo Earl Grey tea its such a good flavor


Here's how I make Earl Grey Tea Lattes at home.

1. Early Tea Bag steeped in hot water for a 2-3 mins
2. Add I Tablespoon of Vanilla Syrup 
3. While Tea is steeping use a milk frother to warm froth your milk.
4. Next remove your tea bag and pour in the milk and foam (I sometimes use a 75/25 ratio       of milk and vanilla creamer
5. Enjoy! 

I use the milk frother that came with my Nespresso U. If you have a coffee maker or espresso machine, a milk frother is a must for making lattes at home or adding extra oomph to hot cocoa or tea lattes! You can buy an affordable hand held milk forther for $17 bucks on Amazon or buy an electric milk frother for a little over $40 bucks on Amazon. Trust me this is worth the investment! 




If you enjoy tea and love lattes, your going to love the combination of both!

How to Fix a Crooked Picture Frame Fast

My biggest pet peeve is hanging up frames and they're crooked and almost its impossible to get them hanging straight. The stylist for the HGTV Magazine shoot Elizabeth Demos shared with me a quick and fast way to fix a crooked frame. Her tip came in handy while we worked on Avery's gallery wall over the Summer and recently when I finished his gallery wall. 

All it takes to fix a crooked picture frame is a few steps:

  • Use a mounting putty
  • Remove a small piece of the putty and roll into a ball
  • Place putty behind frame and adjust fame until straight 

Crooked frame on gallery wall, total eyesore 

I used Loctite Mounting Putty, I bought from Target for $1.99 found on the hardware section. The mounting putty is safe to use on paper, wood, tile and more. 





Tear a small piece of putty off and roll into a ball 



Place mounting behind the corner of the frame and then straighten frame. 



Boom, nice and straight frame! 



I hope this quick tip on how to fix crooked picture frames helps, next time your hanging frames. 

Any tips you have to help keep frames staying nice and straight on your walls.
