Some of my favorite things and sites....

Hey Oprah does a show on it, I thought why not blog about it? Just a note before you get all excited, I'm not giving away any cars or vacations. Bummer. Hold tight though because I MAY win the lotto..just maybe:)

 Anywho, how are we all doing this Friday? I'm buzzed...on coffee. I'm fasting today so I am drinking my overload of coffee this morning lol! Here is our new favorite brand, Kicking Horse. I heart Oso coffee but I cannot find it around my neck in the woods. I know you can order it online but I might as well branch out and try some different, local companies.


Fun story!

Great labels!

This is what you want to see from a coffee company!

I love dark,dark coffee

So, here we go! In no particular order....




I originally heard about this site on Oh She Glows and it's awesome! If you need some inspiration for renovations on your home, check this site out. You will be amazed at what this couple can do on a small budget!


Happy.Healthy.Life has an amazing list or vegan sites and blogs to check out. This is where I found Food Gawker. This is food porn to a whole new level! The site is beautifully laid out and is updated hourly! It is by no means complete but it provides amazing inspiration and new ideas. There are more gawker categories too including weddinggawker and craftgawker.

3. Glass jars

As you saw in my homemaker post, I use a ton of glass jars! I think they are the be-all-and-end-all of food storage and so much more. A non-toxic, attractive way to store sauce, dried goods, herbs, hemp seeds, figs, WHATEVER! I also use them to hold my craft supplies like buttons and ribbon. Plus, I bet your local thrift store has a good stash of them so they are economical too!
PS this is my dream pantry...actually Angela's is at the top!

4. Dry-skin brush

Removing dead skin cells, activating the lymphatic system, and so much more, skin brushing is an easy way to help your body do a little detoxifying! Grab a natural-hair brush at your local health food store or online and start brushing. Check out my older post on the topic as it goes into more detail!


Okay, I might be the last person on the planet to know about this, but it is awesome!! Sometimes my play list just won't do and new music is needed. I love that I can listen to whatever music genre I am in the mood for at the time. When I work out it's electronica, when I'm studying it's classical.  What's your favorite station/genre on there?


I have been rocking these workouts lately and I'm loving them. They are short but INTENSE! Zuzana is great at explaining the exercises and watching her go through the workouts really helps with exercises that are a bit more complex. Cleavage aside, this site rocks and has added a new dimension to my workouts! I was even doing dive bomber exercises. Demi Moore does these in GI Jane...in the water:)




7. Happy vegan chocolate chip cookies



This is my go-to recipe for making chocolate chip cookies. It's super fast and customizable (different oils, flours etc). These disappear fast in my house!


That's it for now! I'm always on the lookout for fun sites and gadgets!
Any new sites or things that you are gaga for?
Have a great weekend! I've only got a dinner on Sunday planned so far so that leaves lots of kitchie time:) I'll be sure to share the successes..and failures with you all:) XOXO
