DAILY LOOK: THE OOTD THAT NEVER FAILS

May 09, 2022daily looks, style + outfits

LOGIC IS A SCIENCE, & LIVING IS AN ART.

– Alan Cumming

The LOGIC and the LIVING. The DOING and the BEING. The MASCULINE and the FEMININE. When I’m feeling burnt out, it’s usually because I don’t have a good balance of these two things, with an emphasis on the living, being, feminine side. I can usually tell when things are off when I stop doing the little things like turning on music, filling the diffusers, or getting dressed (on purpose, lol). All of which only takes a few extra minutes, but make a huge difference. Sometimes tho, it’s the extra thought that’s required (what to wear, do, eat, listen to, etc.) that throws me off.

Here’s an OOTD for when you need a no-fail go-to, that requires little thought… neutrals, all white, all black, or a mix of the two!

  • Sweatshirt
  • Strong shoulder tank
  • Jeans: wearing the straight leg ones, but also have the upsized ones that are a little more cropped. How cute is the criss-cross skirt!?
  • Sandals (they’re so good!): wearing the color “honey”, but it was hard to choose between that color, vanilla, and the black. Fit tts and there’s an option for US sizing if you click the dropdown menu.

Can’t forget my other go-to’s:

  • Playlist
  • Snack: Avocado with lime and salt on toast or with chips.
  • Diffuser blend: Grapefruit, Lime, and a few drops of Rosemary.

Do you notice the balance between doing and being, in your life? Where’s your sweet spot?

xx, Rae

CRISP & FLUFFY HOMEMADE WAFFLE RECIPE

YOU’LL NEED:
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs (divide egg and yoke)
1-2/3 cup whole milk
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
TOPPING IDEAS: butter, maple syrup, whipped cream, *sprinkles, peanut butter, jam, *cacao nibs, chocolate chips, powdered sugar, berries, bananas, cinnamon, sliced peaches, fried or scrambled egg, etc.

HERE’S HOW:
Preheat your waffle iron and melt butter over low, if using stovetop.
In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sugar. Whisk together.
Divide the egg yolk and whites into two separate medium sized bowls.
Add the milk, butter, and vanilla extract to the yolk bowl and mix to combine.
With a hand or stand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium-high until stiff peaks form. Should only take a couple minutes and makes the waffles so fluffy!
Pour yolk and milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir or whisk until combined, being careful not to over-mix. Add the egg whites and fold them into the batter gently.
Heat oven to 250-275 degrees to keep cooked waffles warm and crisp. Lightly grease waffle iron (I like to brush on a little butter). Use a measuring cup to pour batter onto waffle iron, until wells are almost covered. Close the iron and cook for about 4 minutes or until golden brown. (Tip: This is a great time to prep toppings or tidy up the kitchen. If you’re like me though, be sure to set a timer!)
Place cooked waffles in a single layer, directly on rack in oven. When ready, top and serve!
