music monday.

I've been obsessed with this song. All day, every day. Three different versions and they are all amazing.

Enjoy!

sunday encouragement.

paper heart DIY.

I needed something crafty to do tonight, so when I came upon these cute paper hearts, I knew it had to happen. I got the tutorial from Chalk White Arrow and used magazine paper instead of newspaper.

Here's how it turned out!

They are currently on the wall in my bedroom. Still trying to decide whether they need to be hanging or if I like them enough just up on the wall. What do you guys think? 

foodie friday - i love donuts.

My love affair with donuts has always been out in the open. Nashville has spoiled me with Fox's Donut Den (where coincidentally I just was last night with a friend), but I had no idea what was in store for me at a little place called Peace, Love, and Little Donuts when I stumbled upon it earlier this week.

Pure heaven, that's what. It's in the Arcade off of 4th downtown, and I am in love. Apparently they have a few other locations around the country, but it was a whole new world of donut goodness for me.

I ended up getting the Tree Hugger donut and a chocolate pretzel donut. The friend I was with got a Maple Bacon and an M&M donut. They were all delicious. I was nervous about bacon on a donut, but whoa, it blew my mind. My sweet tooth was verrrrry happy, needless to say.

late january resolutions.

1. More reading, less internet time.
2. More letter writing, less facebook messaging.
3. More telephone calls, fewer text messages.

Also, a few bits of happiness for today.

Nostalgia with Charlie, wishing we could go back to Italy and eat some delicious food. 

I am loving my TOMS today. And how much they clash with everything. 

hope.

Just a little encouragement on this Sunday afternoon. 

foodie friday.

Happy Friday! Everyone's favorite day of the week. Roomz and I send each other a fridayface snapchat  on Fridays and they are usually pretty fantastic.

I thought I'd start doing something food related on Fridays because let's face it, I'm a pretty big fan of food. I also want to start trying out new recipes and cooking/baking more at home. So hopefully this will turn into a regular thing with recipes, restaurant recommendations, etc.

So to start, I'm going to be completely unoriginal and do a green smoothie post. Woo woo! I'll admit, the color sometimes throws me off, but they are pretty dang delicious. Here's one I threw together this morning.

Grab some strawberries, a banana, a big handful of spinach, and some oats. Chop them up and throw them into the blender. 

I also added a drizzle of honey because I'm obsessed with it. It goes in everything these days. Blend it all up and...

Ta-da! 

I've experimented with a few different fruits and greens and they've pretty much all been delicious, except for one fluke with peanut butter that I didn't love. Try 'em out! 

Have a fantastic Friday!
