Elle Is For Living YT Channel Status

Hey Beautiful People, ♡

This morning I woke up to being notified that my YouTube channel was removed.

At first, I honestly thought that it was spam! Unfortunately, it wasn’t.

YouTube removed my channel, with no warning, as they said I had “violated their harmful and dangerous policy.”

There was no warning or indication of what I had done. I appealed it and, long story short, I have been denied.

I posted information on peptides and information that contradicted the FDA (that I feel you can heal with diet & supplements and am anti drugs like statins)

I guess free speech in America is dead.

♡ ───── ♡ ───── ♡

I could easily create a new email address and start a new YouTube channel...and I might. I haven’t decided.

Right now, I am viewing this as a door opening when one closes.

I haven't ruled out anything but, right now, I am updating my blog, my Amazon storefront and am shifting my creativity from “what videos I want to do on YT” (and there were a ton!) to, how can I share those ideas on Instagram.

♡ ───── ♡ ───── ♡

Time will tell what happens going forward but, I wanted to reach out to everyone and say

thank you so much for your love and support. ♡

I have many ways to stay in touch with me

and I hope you do!

I think this is an exciting time and who knows where my next chapter will lead but, I would love it if you come along for the ride and we can discover it together!

Love you! ♥ Elle

Low-Calorie Whipped Iced Latte

Skip the $6 Starbucks latte! This rich, frothy iced coffee tastes like a coffeehouse treat for just pennies a serving. This has become my latest obsession! It tastes incredibly rich and decadent, but it's surprisingly low in calories. Depending on how much milk you add, it can be almost zero calories. I use decaf instant coffee so I can enjoy it as a cozy evening treat without worrying about caffeine.

One tip: make sure you use a jar that's tall (so it doesn't splatter) and wide enough for your hand mixer to fit inside and deep enough for the beaters to be fully submerged in the coffee. Don't ask me how I learned that one! 😂

UPDATE: I recently got a little frother and this is life changing. I know that sounds dramatic but for <$10, this little thing is AMAZING! It whips things up much faster, thicker and with no mess. Not to mention, it is small so you don't have to worry about the container you use. HIGHLY recommend.

You could also stop at step #3 and use it to top your hot coffee.

Ingredients

1–2 tablespoons instant coffee (or to taste)
Enough water to just cover the coffee
Stevia or your favorite sweetener, to taste (optional)
Ice
Milk, almond milk, or your favorite milk alternative
Optional: Cinnamon or other favorite flavorings

Instructions

Add the instant coffee to a wide-mouth jar and pour in just enough water to cover it.
Using a hand mixer, whip the coffee until it's light, thick, and frothy.
Stir in sweetener, if desired.
Fill the jar with ice.
Pour in your milk of choice until you reach your desired strength.
Sprinkle with cinnamon or any other favorite flavoring, if desired.

Enjoy immediately!
