DIY Pumpkin Spice Latte

Everyone and their dog loves Starbucks' Pumpkin Spiced Latte but at nearly £4 a pop this autumn favourite can get a bit expensive, so why not make your own from home? DIY things never work out for me, ever. They never look or taste the same but this recipe is so easy that it tastes exactly like Starbucks'. I even topped my latte off with a slice of Pumpkin Pie. 

For the Pumpkin Spiced Latte you will need: 

- 1 cup of milk (you can use almond milk / soya milk if preferred)

- 1 tbsp of canned pumpkin ( I picked mine up from Waitrose, however I'm pretty sure most large supermarkets stock it. Hint its with the tinned fruit!)

- 1 tbsp of sugar

- 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon

- 1/4 tsp of ground cloves

- 1/4 tsp of ground nutmeg

- Around 1/2 cup of coffee (this can vary depending on how strong you like your coffee)

In a saucepan over a low heat you want to begin warming all the ingredients except the coffee, mixing them together until they are completely dissolved and warm in temperature. Simply then add the mixture to your hot coffee, give it a quick stir and top off with whipped cream if desired! 

It's such a simple recipe that takes not even five minutes. Personally I think it tastes as good if not better than the real thing by Starbucks.

How much do you love the Starbucks Pumpkin Spiced Latte?

DIY Sunglass Storage

I don't know about you, but I never quite know how to store my sunglasses. I don't want to have all of my sunglasses lying around but putting them away in a draw seems like a scratch or break waiting to happen. I took inspiration from a picture on pintrest with this simple, cute way to store your sunglasses. 

This DIY is super simple and only requires a couple of things. All you need is a frame of your choice; I went for an A3 sized frame which holds 6 pairs of sunglasses, some chicken wire and some screw eyes. 

You want to start off by taking the glass etc out the middle of the frame, leaving just the wooden outside. After this I poistioned my sunglasses to see where abouts I wanted to place my wire and I just used a pencil to mark a dot on the back of the wood. Attach your screw eyes to the wood where you put your pencil dot and wrap some of the chicken wire around one end. Pulling the chicken wire as tight as you can, wrap the other end around the opposite screw eye before repeating again for the bottom layer. 

Finally either hang your frame up or place on the top of a table/draws, hang up your sunglasses and your done. 

This DIY is a great way to display all your sunglasses, as well as being easy and convenient way to grab a pair of sunnies on the go.

What do you think of this DIY?

Tweet me some picture of your sunglasses storage?
