leap day

Happy Leap Year (day)? We only get this day once every 4 years, what are you doing to celebrate!?

I am taking two classes at the gym, thrilling I know. But its not every night I have time to double dip, so I'm excited!

Did you know that it is an old tradition in Scotland for women to propose to men on February 29th? It's true, and if they refused, they could be fined! How romantic. 

So, on that note, go do something fun, or memorable, or romantic. :)

apps

Have you heard of the App Hipstamatic? It's just like a disposable camera on your iphone! I love it! There are about 24 pictures on each "camera", the quality is just like a disposable and best (or worst) of all, you have to use all the pictures before you can see any of them. Just like the real thing!

I was excited to try this one out, then I found myself taking pictures of random things just to get through the film. Reminds me of being a kid and taking pictures of things like ceiling fan and cat just to get through the roll. But, I love the way they turned out. Here are some from my latest "disposable"...

 

 

 

 

 

What is your favorite App? I just talked my mom into getting some games on her Android so now we can play each other!

be kind

I'm not usually into cheesy quotes from Pinterest, but I thought this was worth repeating. 

my cup of tea

Have you ever heard of David's Tea? It is AMAZING! I first tasted it this winter when I got it as Christmas gift, (thanks Jennifer!) Alpine Punch, that's my flavor. It has the most amazing fresh flavors I've ever tasted in a tea. It comes loose, so it requires a tea infuser or whatever you choose to use with your loose tea. But this is part of the experience, I think! Scooping out those big pieces of coconut or almond or apple, (yes, they're all in this tea!) and letting it steep. One thing really amazing about this, the smell. Actually, I've always thought all teas smell great, but don't deliver flavor as much as an aroma. Not this stuff, great smell, great taste! The only down side is that I couldn't make it last. 

pretty little package!

thanks for the infuser Stacey!!!

So what is delivered to me at work on Valentines Day? Yes, a big box full of David's tea. What a thoughtful husband I have :) In the box were some samples, so Matt has been enjoying the Darjeeling. Oh, and he's been making me tea every morning to take on my way to work, he really is thoughtful.  

Davids Tea is in NYC and Canada, so unless you happen to be either of those places, check them out online. If you love tea, or even if you don't, you will not be disappointed!

happy friday

Its already Friday and I have hardly posted this week. Sorry to be so MIA, I've felt kinda heavy this week and slightly preoccupied, there's a lot going on around me and I've been running on too little sleep. I think I need a good weekend with my man to rest up and cheer up! And maybe a little trip to the J Crew Outlet store. 


Here is what I'll be dreaming about this weekend... 

Beautiful right!? Have a great weekend!!
