Keeping It Together

Happy Spring!!! 

Could that be any more exciting? I didn't think so! Snow? What snow?

Along with relaxing on Sunday's I also love to plan out my week. Trust me, making lists relaxs me to the core.  I always like to know exactly what I'm cooking for dinner and have everything I need for each recipe. So I usually grocery shop on Sunday's too. Another relaxing task for me believe it or not. 

If I had any advice for the busy woman on the go it would be to get your act together in advance. It really brings peace of mind to know what's for dinner and what you have going on. Get yourself a beautiful planner that you like to look at and notebook for inspirations along the way. With a new season brings a new planner for me. A recent trip out of town last week lead to a pretty amazing shopping trip with my Sis-In-Law. I found this amazing planner, paper, and notebook.

This Spring is going to be my most organized ever.

So lets talk some tips to keep it all together. 

• Get out your favorite cookbook or pull up some cool recipes on Pinterest and plan at least three meals (if your the cook in the house) so that you have at least an idea of whats on the menu that evening and you are prepaired.  
• Staying on the food track, make your lunch the night before. 
• Priortize. Look at your schedule for the upcoming week. See if you have any deadlines or important meetings and make sure you have everything together for that.  
• On Sunday's I always clean out my handbag. Get rid of reciepts and papers that you don't need and file the rest. Add anything you think you might need for the next day.  
• Polish your nails Sunday evening so that's one less thing to worry about the next day. 

I hope you have a relaxing and productive Sunday!

This week lets really aim to enjoy the little things, shall we?

February Favorite's

One thing that I used to do here was my favorite thing's of the month. I really enjoyed doing it and when it was my blog's birthday I revisited the idea and decided to start it again. Of course with tips to match. 

February is cold and icky and I'll be glad when it's gone. Now that I'v gotten that out of my system let's talk my latest loves. From shoes both heeled and flat, smell good and shiny, good pairings, bralettes and stripes. This month has all the thing's I can't get enough of. Here is a sneak peek! 

note: things not listed are my new treadmill and COFFEE NINJA BAR! It was a big weekend to say the least. 

Stay tuned for #tuesdayshoesday tomorrow! xoxo

To Drink Wine Is To Live

Happy National Drink Wine Day!!

Like we needed an excuse.. 

I knew I liked today for a reason. This wouldn't be my blog if I didn't acknowledge such a day. If you follow me on any social media or saw my last Slow Down Sunday then you know I like wine... a lot. 

Let's talk ordering wine. I know it can be intimidating when the Sommelier or waiter comes to the table but first, don't be afraid to ask questions. That's why they are there. However, my advice to you is to hone in on a region. Of course, you'll have to do much wine tasting to decide what region you like. But this is a quick way to know what to order while still sounding wine savvy. For example, MK and I like Spanish wine. Our favorite is a Rioja. Don't get me wrong I basically like all wine but that's the favorite.
