weekly roundup

oops. It's been a while since I've done a post full of worthy links. I haven't really made any new year's resolutions yet, so maybe I'll resolve to doing the weekly roundups every Friday.  This weekend couldn't have come soon enough.  Tonight is the best kind of girls night... a sleepover.  (You might remember seeing  pictures on instagram where we had a pajamas and pearls sleepover shower for Ryan.  Well, we had so much fun we're doing it again.)  Hope you all had fantastic weeks and have fun plans for the weekend.  Grab your beverage of choice (I was going to say coffee, but it's Friday and five o'clock somewhere, right?) and enjoy these links I've bookmarked recently.

I've been thinking about this recipe ever since I first saw it on Monday.

Brooke Burke is definitely one of my fitness role models.  So if she listens to this, then I shall too.

Great, great tips in this article.  Do you do these eight things every morning?

Ten ingredients to avoid in beauty products.  Noted!

Do you remember Lo from Laguna Beach?  She is making youtube videos that document her culinary school experience.  I'm definitely making her mac & cheese recipe.

Absolutely love this robe by Plum Pretty Sugar.  So feminine.

This quote is more meaningful now than ever.

Nodded my head over and over while reading Natalie's post about buying less, but buying better.

This is such a great little black dress.  Such a classic with an unexpected back.
