I love these measuring spoons! My mom put them in my Christmas stocking a few years back and every time I pull them out, I'm reminded of her. I'm so glad she taught me some basics about cooking and always let me make a mess when I was working on my latest baking project. She even helped me and my sisters film our own "cooking show" once!
Like so many of my girlfriends, I tuned in to watch the Academy Awards last night. For the most part, I thought the show was boring and dragged on a lot longer than necessary. The best part for me was watching the red carpet arrivals and picking apart all of the outfits. There were some highlights, like Mila Kunis, who looked romantic and glamorous in Elie Saab. I thought her whole look was flawless. I'd die to own a dress like that. There were far too many low points to mention (Nicole Kidman's atrocious kimono getup, Gwyneth Paltrow's sub-par musical performance, and whatever was going on with James Franco). Other notables: lots of big, colorful jewels, Justin Timberlake in Tom Ford, Anne Hathaway's custom Louboutins, and the performance by the PS22 chorus. Amazing!
What did you enjoy most/least about the show?
Dragged my bf to a spot on the east side tonight that has the best salads. Ever. Pretty much anything topped with a slab of feta is good with me though.
Obsessed.
I've been perusing my gym's group class offerings to try and switch up my routine a little. Is it just me, or are all of the fun/productive classes offered during the week while I'm at work? I think I'm going to try zumba toning tomorrow morning. Seems like a fun way to kick off my Sunday!
Do you have a favorite group class?
Thanks to Tiane's tweet earlier today, I finally scored this perfect little orb of lip balm. Twitter is good for something! Turns out, it's been right under my nose (or at CVS two blocks away) this entire time and not at my local Target (7 miles away) like I thought. And, if that's not enough, it was also on sale. What a nice way to head into the weekend!
I went to a Providence College men's basketball game tonight! It was a lot of fun and something out of my usual weeknight routine, which is always a good thing. The Friars lost to Notre Dame, but their star senior, Marshon Brooks, set a Big East scoring record with 52 points! Quite an accomplishment! I hope he makes it to the NBA. Side note: the friar mascot is terrifying, especially if you went to Catholic school most of your life (like me).
I really want to go to another game before the season ends!
Inspired by Ali's post, I reorganized and cleaned out my spice shelf while dinner was simmering on the stove. I'm really on a cleaning spree! It's so much less daunting when entire rooms are broken down into little ten minute projects, don't you think?
I've been a busy cleaning bee all morning, but had to take a quick break and share this lovely outfit (and blog) with you! The styling is complete perfection and her blog, Atlantic-Pacific, is fabulous as well. Thanks to my little sister for pointing me in the right direction on this one. It was a nice reprieve from all the sorting and folding of this monstrosity.
Does anyone know if Louis Vuitton still makes a bag/cosmetic case/dopp kit in that style? I have a major crush on it and want to make it mine.
That's right, folks. I admit to being somewhat of a grown-up now because I'm doing the responsible thing and brewing my own cup of morning coffee at home. No more daily jaunts to the local coffee shop that run me two dollars and change every visit. I enjoyed my first cup of homemade coffee today while reading some of my favorite blogs and, although my brewing needs some tinkering, it felt rather good.
