enJOY it

developing a completely new skincare routine.

accepting that this next half marathon may involve a good amount of power-walking.

sending cards to Paul almost daily.

writing emails, workshop lessons & articles.

wearing new boots that are just perfect.

lamenting the fact that I left my big camera at home because while it's a hassle, it's worth it for the photos.

enjoying long talks with mom & dad.

dreaming about the road trip down the California coast we are taking as soon as Paul returns.

returning to healthier eating after four days without routine.

celebrating an engagement annoucement by a sweet friend.

planning on baking this (sans a ton of the sugar) today.

embracing the curls.

drinking coffee that's just a drop of cream away from being black.

loving the shift in the weather that is more noticeable up north.

ps. I am always going to be all about the orange & gray.

    i’m into a new skincare regime also. and i swear by origins. i really, really can’t recommend it enough. i’ve had several unsolicited compliments over the past few weeks and i owe it all to origins. good luck.

    My old system didn’t work as well once my husband and I moved to Boston. I tried a lot of things with limited success. Right now I think Cetaphil + natural homemade is working pretty well for me. I’m curious what your new routine entails!

    Have you heard of the oil method? I’ve seen a lot of it on pintrest but it sounds amazing! I’m planning to try it out this week, I’m curious about what you’re planning on doing?

    no bangs for me :). I have a big forehead, so in theory, they would work, but my hair is so thin and curly, I am not going to risk it.

    Love this list 🙂 and those Madewell boots are killer – which color do you have them in? “English saddle” looks rad.

    yes English saddle. Seriously love them. I had to go a half size smaller than my usual size, but they fit like a dream.

    That bread looks amazing! I had a pumpkin swirl bread from the local bakery this weekend – delicious! But only baked at (Canadian) Thanksgiving. Now I have to make my own.
    This weekend I’m doing a half marathon too – my first! It will be interesting to see how much walking is involved.
