Since the holidays are around the corner, I figured it was about time I put together my Christmas wishlist. My family always asks me what I want for Christmas (I've been told that I am <i>impossible</i> to shop for), so for the past few years I have given them a list in hopes of making their Christmas shopping a little bit easier. </div>

I have a serious problem when it comes to Starbucks. Let's face it- while being healthy is important, so are caramel macchiatos. While some of our favorite Starbucks drinks have about as many calories as dinner, there are plenty of ways to shave off a few of those calories and make your Starbucks order, well, skinny.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few of my favorite Starbucks drinks that won't sabotage your physique:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">1.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Tall Skinny Iced Caramel Macchiato</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span> This is my all-time favorite Starbucks drink. By ordering a "skinny" macchiato, you are essentially just asking for non-fat milk & sugar-free syrup.<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>100 calories, 10 calories from fat</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b></b>(versus tall caramel macchiato- 170 calories, 45 calories from fat) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Tall Javachip Frappuccino Light</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span></span> This is my go-to drink when I have a sweet tooth. In my opinion the light version is better (I think the regular javachip frapp can be a little too rich).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>150 calories, 25 calories from fat</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(versus tall javachip frappucchino- 240 calories, 50 calories from fat)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>*note: neither of these include whipped cream</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">3. Venti Iced Passion Tea, Unsweetened</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span> This is what I order when I want something refreshing. I order it unsweetened and add splenda myself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>0 Calories</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I know that summer isn't quite over yet but I'm already drooling over J.Crew's new fall arrivals. I'm such a sucker for fall colors (and of course J.Crew) so I put together a few things I'm hoping to get my hands on for the fall season. </div>
