Today is gonna be a random brain dump.  School got canceled yet again for today.  This is turning into the longest Winter break ever.  I am craving getting back in a routine and set schedule hopefully that happens Wednesday:)   These guys have really enjoyed the snow though and break from school.  Lots of lazy mornings.

Sterling has been all about relaxing:)

Sunday night I had a few neighbors over for happy hour.  I made this cheese plate- it made me think would you guys still like an entire post dedicated to creating a charcuterie board?  I will work on that!

Two recent outfits.   I have been living in leggings and casual wear the past few days.

Sweater Similar | Leggings | Hat | Slippers

This is the vest I keep raving about, love it so much.  I also just ordered these wireless ear buds and have been loving them.

My skin has been crazy dry lately and these two products have been game changers.   A girl at Sephora recommended both to me and they work wonders on dry skin.  I have been doing the mask a few times a week and my skin feels so nourished and hydrated afterwards.  The eye cream also works great, I use it morning and night.  It apparently helps brighten under eye circles so fingers crossed it works.

Picked up a new orchid from Trader Joes for our den.  The agate frame to the left was one of my favorite Christmas gifts.

I have been really into listening to podcasts lately.  Someone turned me onto The Skinny Confidential and I am obsessed.  It is a podcast hosted by Layern Everts Bosstick (also a blogger) and her husband.  They interview various people in the health, beauty, fitness, and social media businesses.  Every podcast I have listened to has been amazing and I have learned so much.  A few favorites : Dr Dennis Gross, B Well By Kelly, and the The F Factor.

After listening to the F Factor podcast, I became really interested in adding more fiber to my diet.  The F Factor diet stresses eating enough fiber every day and how important it is as an aid in weight loss.  They talk about these “GG Crackers” so I ordered some to try.  They have 8 grams of fiber and are supposed to also help suppress your appetite.  Let me be clear they really don’t have any taste at all, but I did feel full after eating them.   I have yet to find the crackers in a store but you can order them HERE.

I crushed them up and added them to my Tuscan Kale salad for dinner + Dr. Praegers Veggie Burger + Roasted Broccolini.  They also recommend eating them spread with cream cheese, avocado or baked like little pizzas with marinara and cheese.

Found the perfect little shift dress.  This is a gray chambray and so soft!  It would be cute now paired with tights and booties and light enough to wear in the Spring with flats.  I am wearing a small.

I am loving these agate cheese knives, I just ordered them- perfect to pair with my cheese platters.

Also need these serving spoons.

Cleaned and organized the fridge, makes me so happy every time I open it.

The avocado toast at the Hen and Goat is amazing!  You must try if you eat there.

Have a great Tuesday!
