Keep your eye on the prize
I’d been hemming and hawing about running my first marathon for awhile now (and likely would’ve run one in the fall, but work and travel got in the way). But I’m doing it. Yes m’aam. In fact, it’s one of my 2012 resolutions.
And one thing that’ll help me get through 16 long weeks of training? Keepin’ my eye on the prize — which in this case, may include making my Blue Crush dreams come true and going to surf camp.
(If you haven’t seen the movie, do — the way they shoot the waves is incredible, plus one of Kate’s “prizes” in the movie is a boy, who, fans of The Vampire Diaries may be interested to know, is played by the dude who’s now Alaric on TVD).
For other ways I — and you, too — can stick to your resolutions, check out my post here on the Schick Quattro for Women Style Squad Facebook page. (And be sure to stay in the loop by “liking” the page while you’re at it!)
Ah, yes, New Year’s Resolutions…
I made a completely frivolous purchase the other day at Anthropologie: a very pretty, fairytale-like dress that is not even “my style” but that I completely swooned over. “Sometimes you just need the dress, not an occasion,” said the very wise girl at the cash.
Most def.
In fact, this jives very well with my new approach for 2012. All inspired by this instant camera (whodathunkit?), I’ve got one awesome New Year’s Resolution. Find out more on A Haute Mess (along with some resolutions from some other very cool peeps).
Swellness Sundays
(Anything I find swell. Posted on Sundays. Real scientific, I know…)
In case you were wondering, Bakelab’s cookies are just as delicious as their doughnuts. I don’t even usually like chocolate baked goods, but I become Cookie Monster (crumbs everywhere and all) with these.
One is chocolate thumbprint with salted caramel, another is nut and cocoa nib sandwich cookie with homemade nutella, and the third is some delectable ginger-y something or another.
And the little trio of them made for a mightly fine Christmas breakfast :)
