new year, new inspirations.

Things to keep in mind while moving forward into 2013...

Cheers & New Years!♥

sweet season.

Holidays are just around the corner which means lots and lots of sweets. October is National Cookie Month, and what better way to kick off the holiday season than an entire MONTH dedicated to cookies! By the way, how did I not know this?! It's ok, I have a week left to make some amazing cookies perfect for fall :)

Iced Oatmeal-Applesauce Cookies

Caramel Stuffed Apple Cider Cookies

And nothing pairs better with your cookies than a lovely Fall Sangria...

Cold Remedies

It's that time of year again... time for soups, teas, hot yoga, and catching colds. Here are some of my favorite ways to stay warm, fit, and healthy during these upcoming chilly months :)

Benefits of drinking Green Tea...

1. Excellent source of anti oxidants

2. Burns fat and allows you to exercise longer

3. Lowers stress but boosts brain power

4. Reduces high blood pressure

5. Boosts your immunity against illness

I love running out in the cold... just something so refreshing about the cool air.

The Top 10 Fall & Winter Soups

Here is a great site for different yoga exercises... Do Yoga With Me

I love hot yoga! I feel like I get more of a workout and my favorite place to do it is right here in Broad Ripple at The Yoga Center :)

It's nearly impossible, for me at least, to avoid the dreadful winter cold. Normally, I am a walking pharmacy when I come down with something. However, I came across this lovely homemade remedy from Pinterest oh how to help sore throats/coughs. So when the time comes, I will definitely give this a try! Cold Home Remedy

Home is where the heart is...

...and my heart belongs to the mountains.

Miss hiking, concerts in the park, winter events, skiing, etc... but most of all, my amazing friends.

first day of FALL.

"Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile." -William Cullen Bryant

This is my favorite time of year! My favorite fashion accessory has to be the scarf and there is no better time to bring that out than when the weather starts to cool down. Fall brings colored leaves, warm drinks, bonfires, sweaters, boots, hats, etc. And of course, don't forget all of the delicious recipes that include pumpkin, mmmm :) I hope you all enjoy this wonderful season as much as I do!
