What I'm Loving Wednesday

It's been an awesome start to the New Year and I'm hoping that you all have set your resolutions and they are on their way!

My resolution isn't really limited to one thing, there are certainly a lot of things I would like to accomplish this year.

My goals:
-To lose 40 pounds by next January, and continue to live a healthy life
-To master the art of organizing a 2 bedroom apartment, keeping it simple and minimalistic
-To save enough money so we can buy a house that we love
-Run a 5k this April and run a 10k in the fall
-Get myself to the next level in my yoga classes
-Do one creative task everyday

Here's what I'm loving this week:
The Biggest Loser tv show (if that's not motivation I don't know what is!)
My Moleskine Wellness Journal to track what I do for my health each day
The beautiful springlike weather we have had lately
Our newly painted and decorated living room pics to follow this week!
The game Bop It
Cuties clementine oranges
The NEW Blonde coffee at Starbucks (if you don't go to Starbucks because our coffee is too strong, go get a sample of Blonde coffee, it's delicious,)
Tim Tebow (hey, I might be an Eagles fan but I don't know anyone who isn't a Tebow fan after this season!)
Being able to use a personal day to go home to PA next weekend! Yea!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

The show Cupcake Wars, I like to watch tv in bed before falling asleep at night and this one always seems to grab my attention. It gets pretty intense! The founder of Sprinkles cupcakes is one of the judges!

My big gigantic Weight Watchers cookbook that I now live by. Every single recipe is awesome and satisfying yet packed with flavor.

My Dad and his fiancee, Meg, are coming to spend the weekend with Nick and I! I'm super excited for this because my family hasn't seen us since our engagement and it's their first time coming down to visit us since we moved in!

The new headbands that I added to my etsy shop. I'm really proud of them and pleased that they turned out so great. Luckily they have become very popular!

I'm loving the spring weather, and yes, even the rain that we've had since yesterday. We really need the soaking rain so that all of the Earth's plants can finally grow! I can't wait to see everything bloom!

Finally, I've said it before and I'll say it again. I am SO in love with my fiance, Nick:o)

What I'm Loving Wednesday

...cherry blossoms in DC! This is my first time living in VA and we are only 20 minutes from the city so for me to see these beautiful flowers on the trees was a big deal (and apparently for millions of people from around the world!).

...Eat, Pray Love. This movie is now on my list of my all-time favs. A woman who can reaffirm the love for herself can only love another that much more. If you haven't seen it, watch it, you will love it.

...Anthropologie's new bridal collection. I could look at these dresses for hours on end. They are works of art.

...anything made out of recycled paper. I like to think that I'm saving the world one piece of paper at a time, especially when I reuse bags. Do you recycle?

...Country Living magazine. There are lots of pictures in here that I like to use for inspiration. I love to go with my Mom-Mom to look for antiques and "treasures" as she calls them.

What I'm Loving Wednesday

1. The Knot Website

I know it is really early to start planning, especially because we haven't set a wedding date yet BUT, as a bride-to-be (wow it still feels surreal saying that!) I could look at the pictures on this website for hours on end. There are so many brides who have had the most beautiful weddings. I love to look through all of the weddings to get ideas on what I would like my wedding style to be. There's also lots of great articles about planning and things to do in the process. If you are engaged to be married, I HIGHLY recommend it. OH! Btw...if you are moving in with your significant other OR expecting a baby, the Knot also owns the Nest and the Bump! Very neat!

2. Fringe Candles

My Mom gave me one of these candles and they make our home smell SO SO good! I believe she said you can get them at Barnes and Noble. Plus they look pretty when they're sitting out:o)

3. Salmon Cakes

Don't knock it before you try it!

If you like crab cakes, you will love salmon cakes! It's a very healthy dinner option that is very delicious when you add fresh dill and green onions. Yummo!

4. Adele

If you have not listened to any of Adele's songs, you're missing out! She is so talented and her voice is one-of-a-kind. We sell her new cd at work so I'm lucky enough to hear her songs each day, they never get old.

5. Lisa Leonard Designs

Every single one of the pieces that Lisa Leonard creates are gorgeous. I love the details that she puts into each and every design. I think it would be neat to have a necklace that has my future initals on it with my wedding date.

6. March Madness!!

Every year hundreds of thousands of people fill out their March Madness brackets, trying to predict who will win the NCAA Basketball Tournament. It's so fun to do, even if you don't follow college basketball all that much. I think Ohio State will win it all this year!
