Write It All Down: Favorite Notebooks

One of my new years resolutions (still going strong!) is to start writing down my thoughts. I can't tell you how many times I lay in bed coming up with great ideas that I promise I'll remember the next morning. Do I ever remember them? Hardly... if ever. I kick myself for not rolling over and writing out thoughts and ideas in a notebook I could easily have sitting on my bed side table. I have a pink and gold striped notebook a friend gave me that goes everywhere with me now. I store all my thoughts - both good and awful - in mine, so I never let a thought go unremembered.

With styles suited for all sorts of tastes... store your thoughts, dreams, and big ideas in one of these:

Snow Day in New York

It's a winter wonderland outside today.  Here's a small collection of my snowy instagrams. The gorgeous snow has me bundled up inside working from home. My lazy pup isn't helping in the motivation department though...

2014 New Years Resolutions

I hope everyone had a great holiday! I missed this new blog adventure, but visiting Seattle was some much needed relaxation and time away (more on that later!). Now I'm back and ready to face all 2014 has to offer.

With it only being a couple days into 2014, I'm obviously a little late to bask in all the the new years resolutions glory, but I'm here to post mine anyways... hopefully that'll help them stick better. I'm banking on the idea of writing things down and then having to stay accountable. We'll see...!

Happy New Year to all of you!

The countdown of all my resolutions...

ONE : Write things down. Write down anything. My ideas, inspirations, favorite quotes, thoughts, everything.

TWO: Drink more water. I used to drink tons and tons of water. Like nearly an excessive amount. But I've been slacking and it's starting to catch up with me. Bring on the H2O.

THREE: Take more pictures. All of life's magical moments should be captured and shared - with all of your or friends and family.

FOUR: Drink more tea. I love tea and there are a million varieties. The list of benefits are lengthy and it's time to reap them.

Snowing in New York

It's a Winter Wonderland outside! While the town is being covered in a glittery blanket of snow, I'm bundled up inside, sitting on the couch, working away, drinking my hot cocoa. Are you staying warm or are you basking somewhere in the actual warmth. Either way.. enjoy and goodnight!
