Happy Monday, collegiettes! With only 10 days left until Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday!) I compiled my favorite Pins to share with you. This week you will find a cute football-friendly hairstyle, a delish cupcake recipe, new ideas for leftovers and some workout motivation. Happy Thanksgiving!
Heather from Banana Pudding blogged her tutorial for a “Hair Bow”– the perfect hairstyle for Thanksgiving Day. Whether you are watching the game or helping in the kitchen, this hairstyle will make sure you look adorable and put together, while keeping your locks out of your face. And don’t worry, collegiettes, you don’t need long hair to make this style work. I was able to do it with my shoulder-length hair!

My favorite part of Thanksgiving, besides being with friends and family, is the pumpkin pie. For pumpkin pie with a twist, check out The Krazy Coupon Lady’s recipe for Irresistible Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes– a dessert with a crust outside and custard inside. How they stay custardy on the inside is part of the holiday magic because these cupcakes have no extra steps. You just mix up the batter and bake! I love the idea of having each guest being able to have their own individual dessert.
Side note- I refuse to let my allergies prevent me from eating this holiday season. Each recipe I share can have a gluten-free twin, and I will show you how. For these cupcakes, you can substitute the flour for your favorite gluten-free flour. It’s as simple as that!
