sugar, sugar

Greedy Girl helped me out once again and I am obsessed. This special sugar will sweeten up any event and any moment. I want the brown sugar hearts at my wedding shower tea party and the sugar cubes every day of the week! They are so adorable, everything Cox & Cox does for weddings in elegant and timeless.

Keep it sweet in everything you do!

dear john

"I miss you so much it hurts"

One of the many great lines from the new movie Dear John. Premiering today, it was of course a must see with my girls. Yes, we balled our eyes out. Yes, Channing Tatum is so gorgeous in every single second. And yes, it's a must see. That is all I will say because you need to see it for yourself. But I will leave a preview!

mini goodess

The snow here is getting out of control. Boot camp and one of my classes were cancelled. And yes we have somewhat of a snow day and I am complaining. It is throwing off my well balanced schedule and I am all about a plan.

Something did cheer me up on Design*Sponge though. She featured mini valentines from the

smallest post office in the world. I have always loved mini's, especially American Girl Doll minis, they were the best. But here's to show, even the smallest amount of love is great!!

be mine

Good morning! I am waiting for my class to start because I have been up since 6am for boot camp. It's the second day and it's going well so far. I ran a 8.16 min mile which is the fastest I have ever done, so I'm pretty proud of myself this morning!

I just got through my routine of blogs I go through every morning. Design*Sponge, Greedy Girl, Oh Joy!, Happy Lady Eats, and Looks Good To Me. Design*Sponge I can rely on around 8am which is great cause I need some fresh creativity when I wake up. I also stumbled across Amy Atlas's blog. I have loved her for a long time (I want her job)! Her last couple of posts are falling right into my theme of the sweet month of February. And because I can't eat sweets, I'm just going to stare at them!

Amy's tables are absolutely gorgeous and her sweets and treats are too beautiful to eat. Here is what she has done for the month of love!

Enjoy the pink and the sweets! I love the cookie hearts, and the cupcakes are too freakin' cute!

put a ring on it

Found these heart rings by Cynthia Rowley and fell in love! The three tones make them so cool to wear together and they match everything. Subtle love is the best kind! A little out of my price range but what a great valentine's day present, wink wink ;)

OHIO love you

Cold, gray, depressing, just a few words I think of when I think of my hometown Columbus, Ohio. But I have to say I don't give the town enough credit. Summers are beautiful, we're the home of the Buckeyes, and I have amazing friends and family who live there (and lets just say no one could survive the cold and grey without friends, family, and football).

One of my favorite parts of Ohio is the unique downtown areas that hold some of the best food, drinks and desserts! To keep up with my sweet theme of February I have to tell you about Jeni's Ice Cream. With only a few locations in central Ohio, they have made quite a name for themselves. Their ice cream flavors are so crazy and out there it makes them hard to resist. Some of my favorites being Thai Chili, which is complex flavors of hot, salty, savory and sweet together to provide a satisfying treat, basically peanut butter with a kick or Queen City Cayenne (mom's favorite) which is rich chocolate that slowly reveals hints of spice. Combine the two and you have one spicy peanut butter cup. How great does that sound?

The best is their seasonal flavors such as pumpkin in the fall, eggnog in the winter, cherries and goat cheese in the summer (yes, I said goat cheese) and who knows what's to come for the spring! It is really the best ice cream I have ever had. I encourage you to make Ohio a destination this summer, the ice cream is worth it! Also be sure to watch Food Network's Unwrapped on February 9th at 9:00pm one of their new spring flavors, Roxbury Road is being featured.

love is in the air

It's the first of February and when I think February I think red, pink, chocolate and love! Of course like any other girly girl, pink is my all time favorite color and I'm obsessed with anything having to do with love, valentines and marriage, so February is my favorite winter month. I found this artwork at Coulson Macleod a while back but Greedy Girl reminded me again! I absolutely love this art work! It feels so vintage and the words are bold and meaningful. The short and sweet sayings are so great and hold so much love but the black and gray pieces are my favorite. Look closely, you'll probably find the most romantic quote from your favorite love story.

The love stories in the movies are the best because you can live vicariously though them and not get hurt :) so great!

Enjoy and tell someone how much you love them!

xoxo
