Obsessing over…
Candles.  It has become a daily routine of mine to make a morning pot of coffee, turn on some tunes and light a candle or two.  My favorite scents are natural aromatherapy scents like lemon zest, spearmint, and lavender.  There is something very calming about the sight and scent of a candle, and I am loving it right now.  
Working on…
Getting healthier.  I have let myself fall into bad habits and have consumed a disgusting amount of fried foods lately.  Dining out was becoming way too comfortable for us.  Today I started P90X again (I am hoping to make it past week 4 this time) and made better food choices.  With a fridge full of fruits and veggies, we are on the right track.
Thinking about…

The new American Apparel organic t-shirts I ordered today for my Etsy shop!  Between my husband and I, 3 out of 4 of our American Apparel shirts that we own are from their sustainable clothing line.  They are so soft, have a good weight to them, are made in the USA and the color options are lovely.  I started my inventory with natural color organic cotton tees and will work more colors into my inventory throughout the year.  I'm really excited to be making the switch to American Apparel!

Anticipating…
Warmer weather and playing outside.  Winter doesn't bother me that much, except for the lack of sunshine.  If I am prepared for the cold, I can deal with it.  It's the constant darkness and feeling cooped up inside that makes me a little, well... crazy.  I am ready to spend time outdoors, for one layer of clothing, taking less vitamin C, sunglasses, and letting my hair air dry without worrying I will catch a cold.  I am anticipating the month of May.
Listening to…
The Civil Wars, Bon Iver and a Priscilla Ahn Pandora station.  I love music, especially anything with a folk sound to it, a soft voice or awesome instrumentals.  
Eating…
Dark chocolate covered salted caramels.  It's a little special desert we picked up on Sunday at a local market ;)  They are one of my favorite fine chocolates.  Wait, didn't I just say I am trying to get healthier?!  In my mind, this is healthier than doughnuts or pack of Oreos.  That could all be in my head though...
Wishing…
I could hop on a plane with my husband and spend a week somewhere warm and tropical just the two of us!
