CRAZY BLONDE LOVE - THINGS I'M LOVING THIS WEEK!

The first thing on my love list this week is my new planner.  It was designed by author and inspirational speaker Danielle LaPorte.  She calls it the holistic Daily planner.  It incorporates your to do list with gratitude and goals and helps you to remember what your deepest desires are on a daily basis.  On the page for January 7 (today) I am asked to list 3 things that matter most.  What a great way to start the day!  I'm ready for great things in 2016!

 Next up are Nike Air Max 15 Running Shoes.  It's time to hit the pavement again, or at least the treadmill!  I got a little slack over the holidays so new running shoes are just the thing to inspire me to get back into shape!

I have been using Dr. Hauschka products for years and this one is definitely my favorite!  This time of the year it seems that my skin is so dry and this Eye Balm really helps.  It goes on under my concealer and is so soothing and moisturizing.  It is made with carrot, calendula and anthyllis as well as apricot kernel oil, jojoba oil and beeswax.  Dr Hauschka is a fabulous skincare line, the mission of the company is "to support the healing of humankind and the planet."

These yoga pants by Lucy were a Christmas gift from my sister and the minute I put them on, I knew I needed another pair!  They are the perfect length and oh so comfortable for sinking into those low lunges!

The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin is on my nightstand and is next on my reading list!  Rubin realized that "Time is passing, and I'm not focusing enough on the things that really matter."  She decided to dedicate a year to her happiness project.  One of the things that she found was that "the very smallest of changes can make the biggest difference".  Check back for my review of The Happiness Project - sounds life changing!

Speaking of happy!  These leopard pumps by Jimmy Choo could make me very happy!  (similar here)

One of my favorite shops is Eloise in Charlottesville Virginia.  This sweater from Eloise would be perfect for now and for cooler days going into spring!

ABC Kitchen in New York is a most memorable place to have dinner and also my very favorite!  Every morsel they serve is delicious!  The Roasted Kabocha Squash Toast is a seasonal item on the menu and the recipe is below!

Kimberly McDonald jewelry is stunning!  This ring will probably never be mine, but it certainly doesn't hurt to wish!
