#6: Fornash Jewelry

Happy Friday!  I hope everyone has had a wonderful week.  My week actually flew by.  I have been teaching a lot more which is keeping me very busy.  The kids are wonderful and I am loving every minute of it.  Tyler and I are going to see The Vow tonight.  I've just been dying to see it.  I hope it lives up to my expectations.  I'm going to spend some of the weekend getting things organized since I have so much to do next week.  I can't wait to spend time with Tyler and my friends tomorrow and Sunday.  

The 6th thing I love it Fornash Jewelry.  I love everything about their products.  They are so bright and fun from the bangles to the stud earrings.  I'm sure that it won't disappoint you.  

I wear these studs all the time and I get so many compliments on them.  Probably one of my favorite pair of stud earrings.

#5: Shoes

Like most girls, I love shoes.  I can't get enough of them.  My closet is getting a little out-of-control and I am needing more space.  I love all types of shoes.  With teaching, I have been aiming for comfort to get me through the day.  Here are some of my most favorite "comfortable" shoes that I wear all the time.

 Tory Burch Reva Ballet Flat

I can't live without my Tory Burch flats.  I wear them almost every day.  They took a while for me to break them in but now they fit perfectly. 

Cole Haan Trillby Driver Loafers 

I can't express how much I love my loafers.  They are a life saver when I'm at school all day.  I recommend  these shoes to everybody.  

Steve Madden Intyce Boots

Tyler gave me these for my birthday and I wear them all the time.  Very comfortable, too.  

Sardinia Snake Navajo Jack Rogers

I'm just waiting till it's warm enough for me to bring out my Jack Rogers.  I adore these sandals.  

What are your favorite "comfortable" shoes?

#4: Chapstick

True Life: I am addicted to chapstick.  I seriously apply chapstick probably 30 times a day.  I don't even know if my lips can produce the correct amount of moisture that they once did prior to my addiction starting.  This all started in high school.  Ever since then, I have always had at least 2 things of chapstick with me at all times.  I even sleep with it under my pillow in case I wake up in the middle of the night from a nightmare of dry, chapped lips.  I know, I know, I have a problem.  This addiction to chapstick has made it so I have tried a lot of different types.  I certainly know which ones work the best for me by now.  Here are some of my favorites.

EOS Lip Balm

This is one of my favorite products because of it's adorable egg shape.  They have all different flavors which I love.  The Sweet Mint is by far my favorite for this time of the year though.  

Strawberry ChapStick 

This classic tube of strawberry chapstick is one of my favorites.  I have a million of these little guys laying around my room.  

Burt's Bees

You can't go wrong with Burt's Bees.

Does anyone else have the same love for chapstick as me?  Are there any products that work for you? 

#3: Healthy Eating

Nothing makes me feel better about myself than eating healthy.  I have recently started to watch what I'm eating more than I have in the past.  I have found a love for fruits and veggies.  I literally crave them now.  Since tonight was the super bowl, I had to make a dip to take over to Kayla's house (of course!).  I wanted to make something that was yummy and also healthy.  I think I did well with this dip.

Peanut Butter and Yogurt Dip


1 cup of low fat creamy peanut butter
1 cup of strawberry yogurt
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
Assorted fruits and veggies for dipping (I loved bananas with this dip)

By the way, I'm not a huge football fan but I did pull for the Patriots because my friend Nicole loves them.  I thought it was a good game even though they didn't win.  

What did you make for the super bowl?

#2: Bubble Baths

I am literally obsessed with bubble baths.  I take at least one a day.  Even if I'm super busy, I always take time to take a relaxing bubble bath.  It helps me unwind after a long day.  Hopefully one day I will be able to build a home with a huge bathroom just for me!  I find bath tubs so romantic.  Especially when they are decorated like these.

February Favorites

It's officially February and I've been thinking that it would be fun if I posted about the things that I love this month.  I am obsessed with many things so I hope this helps you get to know me a little better.

#1: Monograms

I can't lie.  My monogramming obsession has gotten a little out of control.  The monogram company that I use in Wilmington said that I should probably just start working there since I am constantly getting everything monogrammed.  I like the idea of having things personalized for me.  Monograms just make me smile.  I have scarves, crew neck sweatshirts, bags, towels, and many other things monogrammed but here are some of my favorite items that y'all may not have thought of.

Cosmetic Bag- I love the coral and turquoise colors!

Make-up Bag

 

Yes, I even have my shower curtain monogrammed.  

Laundry Hamper 

I gave monogrammed q-tip holders to my high school friends for graduation so I HAD to get one for myself too.  I must admit that this has really come in handy.  It's such a cute accessory in the bathroom too.  

Do y'all enjoy monograms too?  What is your favorite item that you have monogrammed?  

Organization

For those of you who don't know me too well, I am a bit of an organization freak.  I like everything to be in it's correct location at all times.  I have my closet organized by colors so it's easy for me to pick out outfits.  I love looking at organization ideas on Pinterest so I can become even MORE organized.  Here are some of the ideas I love...

 This needs to be done to Tyler's closet.  I love how the shoes and books are together on the shelf.  Very masculine.  

I have a new love for bookshelves.  It's a great way to organize books and throw in special touches like pictures, as well.  

If I only had the space for a closet this size...
