Let's talk Etsy!

I love etsy! And my goal some day is to actually sell something on etsy.... but for now I will continue to just shop. Here are a few of my favs...

Packing

Packing. Oh how exciting! Well, not the packing part but the moving to a "cute new little studio with my new husband" part. I can hardly wait to start decorating the new place.

Engagement Invitation

So I said I would be back a long time ago.... Well life happened and I haven't been able to keep up. But I am back and ready to start blogging all the wonderful things I am seeing. I'll start by showing you my Engagement Party Invitation. Love it! We wanted to make our friends and family smile while telling our story. 

Pause

Don't you wish that life had a PAUSE button? I do! I wish I could pause my job and just blog and explore all my favorite blogs. However, there just doesn't seem to be enough time in my day to do so. May is a very busy month. Since I can't consistently post right now and I don't want to keep people guessing, I am going to take a break from blogging for the month of May. That is unless I find something that I just have to post! So happy spring and I will see you all in June. Carpe Diem!

Ode to Bathtubs!

So its been a couple of weeks since I last posted. Working two jobs is killing me... all I want to do is take a nice long soak in my bathtub! OR in one of these bathtubs! I love how these feel like a sanctuary, a place you can truly relax and unwind. 

a shower and a tub! can life get any better? I submit that it can not! And where is this place? I need to go there!

love the feet on the tub! Actually, I love the whole room!

A nice big bathtub! Room for two?

Maybe tonight I will spend some quality time in the tub. I hope you all have place that can help you relax. Rub a dub dub!

Pure Barre

Its been a few days since I blogged and my life seems to be a bit crazy right now but I wanted to share this with you all... My new obsession... Pure Barre. This workout has changed my body in ways I didn't think was possible. I took Pure Barre for about a month, thee times a week before they asked me to become a teacher and since then I'm loving every minute of it. 

For the next three nights, we have trainings. I know I am going to be extremely sore for a few days but I'm so excited to improve my technique and hopefully inspire others to do the same. I'm ready to lift, tone and burn!

Just a bit of info about PB: The Pure Barre Technique is a total body workout that burns fat & produces lifted seats, toned arms, thin thighs, and flat abs by fusing elements of ballet, pilates & weights in a 55 minute intense session.

The Anatomy of a cupcake

I might frame this for my kitchen..

(photo + poster from Allen Hemberger  - via That's Happy > Oh Cupcakes)

For those that know me... I love cupcakes. I am obsessed with cupcakes. I love baking them, I love eating them, and I love looking at them. Sooo this poster makes me happy! And hungry!

This poster has been featured on more than a few blogs but I first saw it on The Social Secretary. Photographer, Allen Hemberger, and designer, Sarah Wilson, created this print. Check out the video of their design process. It's gotten quite the buzz (featured on Forbes and a few other blogs) and now the print is for sale. To purchase this delicious poster and watch their design video go here. Enjoy!
