The Better Milano Cookies

This post could also be named How I Told My Mom That I Dropped All the Cookies on the Floor and Thus Had Very Few to Spare, but that just seemed a little too lengthy. But it’s not my fault I ate most of them, they were just too yummy! When I lived in LA, I would read outside in my backyard with a bag of these cookies and a large mug of English Breakfast Tea, and it was paradise. Never would I imagine that perfection of Pepperidge Farms could be improved upon, but I’m so glad I was so wrong.

I love these cookies because they don’t require any fancy ingredients. And for something so delicious, you would expect them to take a lot more effort. Also, you will feel très sophistiqué when you serve them to your guests (or while you stuff them all in your face while watching Netflix).

The Better Headphone DIY

I’ve seen this DIY project around floating around Pinterest and various sites, so I’m not even going to pretend I came up with this brilliant idea. Anyone who knows me is well aware that I’m a big fan of things that are glittery, sparkly or the slightest bit shiny. Since I had these headphones laying around, I decided to give them a little bit of flare to match my phone case. For all you non-DIY folks out there, this only takes about 5 minutes of active participation so there is no reason why you can’t do this!

 Step 1: Remove rubber pieces from earphones

 Step 2: Tape off headphones so the spray paint will only be applied where you want it

The Better Homemade Chocolate Syrup

 Ever since I was in pre-school, my drink of choice has always been an ice cold glass of chocolate milk (on the rocks and preferably with a bendy straw). A lot has changed since those days of velcro sneakers and mandated nap times: sandboxes aren’t as appealing, and my pallet may be a tad more refined, but my chocolate-milk love remains. The average Joe may think Hershey’s chocolate syrup and some milk is all you need, but a real connoisseur, like myself, knows that homemade syrup is the way to go.
