Another day for LOVE

Valentines day is here whether you're a lover or hater of this occasion. I happen to love any reason to put on red and pink AND have extra pep in my step. My roomie pug, Stephie, and are LOVING today even though we cant be with our valentine's today. I hope y'all have an amazing day (the sun is even loving us today!!) and go love the heck outta someone special to you:)

xoxo

Waiting

WAITING. It's like going anywhere in the middle of thick fog. You can't see a single thing that's in front of you, you have no idea where you're going, you're trusting you're heading somewhere amazing and you  just have to ...keep...moving...forward. 

If I'm honest I can be quite an impatient person. I think that's partially hereditary, partially society, partially my type-A personality's fault. But if I'm really honest, there are things in my life that I cannot control and all I can do is wait. One of my least favorite activities.

This season of my life is one seems more open ended than ever before: 

• Final year of undergrad
• Trying to figure out what happens after school...grad school, jobs, internships oh my!
• Praying for my living situation to pan out for next term (cause I'll be roommate-less after this one)
• Investing in relationship that must take a slower pace than we would like
• Financial "struggles" (aka doing more career related activities which=cut hours at work. boo)
• Dying to be involved in church
• Wanting to make music a part of life again
• Seeking a clear and specific direction for my life

I'm not shooting for the stars here am I? Yes,  I know there are quite a few things in that list that I can be proactive about, but despite my proactive attempts, I still have to WAIT on some Divine timing. Not always an ideal or fun process.

Stripes to the Max{i}

First thing, HAPPY FEBRUARY EVERYONE! It is now more than acceptable to wear excessive amounts of pink, red, and sparkles! I mean what more do you need really? Anyways. Back to this black and white outfit.

My wonderful sister has turned me on to stripes. Slowly but surely I have found my closet filled with more and more horizontal lines than I can count. This little number (which is my roommate, Stephie's dress) is the epitome of comfort and style. I could live in this, sleep in this, maybe even go for a jog in it. Okay maybe not... but you get my drift.

Stripes are staple...so you better get a few into you closet. And a giraffe necklace. 

He's a very faithful and stylish companion. 

World's Easiest Pancakes

This morning I woke up and thought "I want something different for breakfast." I've been eating lots of eggs and smoothies but really wanted to mix it up (gotta keep the most important meal of the day interesting!).

Yesterday while perusing my fair share of blogs and Pinterest, multiple times I stumbled upon these ridiculously easy AND super healthy, "clean" if you will, pancake recipes. I decided to give it a shot this morning, and YUMMMMMMMMMMMM. Very satisfied according to my tummy and smile on my face. So here I give you: the worlds easiest pancakes. 

[yes that is greek yogurt  - nonfat plain - with pineapple in a margarita glass]

The ingredient list is quite extensive so brace yourselves:
