Chocolate Gummy Bear Dodgeball

Nothing like a game of chocolate gummy bear dodgeball to get the week started!  Sometimes I just have too much time on my hands... either that I or just like to put off what I really need to be doing.  Either way it's good to start off the week with some sugar and a sill picture... Happy Monday!

Sample Sale: Bel Kazan Dresses

My friends over at Bel Kazan are having a holiday sample sale.  Naturally I couldn't resist going by to see what was for sale!  Here are a few of my favorites...

If you are in LA you should definitely go by the sale.  For all the info click HERE to see the Facebook invite.  And if for some reason you can't make it in the next couple of days shoot them an email to sales@belkazan.com and make an appointment to shop! 

Cookie Monster

I'm turning into The Cookie Monster!  The holidays are killing me.  I baked some normal chocolate chip cookies last night but couldn't resist adding some red sprinkles and pretending they were "holiday cookies." As if that makes it okay to eat them all!  Ha!  Oh well... it's almost time for the New Year guilty working out so I'll just have to enjoy this time before it's gone.  :)

Get Organized...

I need to do this!  I have little post-it notes everywhere!  I write stuff down, I put the note aside, and then I never look at it again... not a good system.  This board of post-its seems much better, wish me luck!

Sharon Van Etten

Have you listened to Sharon Van Etten?  Because you should.... Because she's awesome!  Mellow music that the perfect tempo for a cozy fall evening cooking and hanging out by the fire... or at least that's what I do when I'm listening to her.  :)

Monday Morning Stretch

Oh nothing... Just doing a little Monday morning stretch.  NOT!  My physical therapist would kill me if he saw me doing this stretch (I'm not as limber as I used to be... in my imagination)

Have a fabulous week!  And don't overextend yourself!

I've been working with a local restaurant, Rosti Tuscan Kitchen. They serve amazing Italian food that is so fresh and delicious that I think I've gained 10 lbs since I started working with them (I can't stop eating the food)! Check it out...

Knitting Project

I'm making a cardigan out of this yummy yarn!  It's actually a yarn meant for baby products, but it knits up in these random colorful stripes and just I couldn't resist it!  I'm about halfway through the sweater so stay tuned for pics of the final product...
