Well what I made my wine loving friend was super easy personalized wine glasses! All I needed were a set of cheap wine glasses, as well as stickers, glass etching paint, and a brush or sponge. First step is to use the stickers to put your design on your wine glasses. I’d highly recommend doing two rounds if you try it because the wine glasses with only one round of paint didn’t turn out as well.

I like Luna Bars, Lara Bars, Think Thin bars, and Clif Bars. I found a simple recipe by Kath for baked oatmeal bars, then added some protein and changed it around a bit. * 1 cup milk (I used skim because we had it, but any will do) * 5 drops vanilla Nunaturals stevia (or other sweetener, or just vanilla, but they will be a little less sweet) Mix oats, pecans, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. They are soft like thick brownie, and much better for you than lots of the sugary packaged bars on the market.

I read a blog post of Colleen’s (RIP 🙁 ) a little while back and left a comment saying I’d always wanted to try Rodan & Fields! I warned her that I don’t have terrible skin, so my before and afters may not have a huge WOW factor if that’s what she was after. It took some commitment and getting used to since I hadn’t been spending time on skin care, but I think I only missed two washes in the whole 60 days. Maybe once I try something a little less expensive I’ll realize how great Rodan & Fields really was, but maybe not.

Saying hi from NYC where I’m visiting my boyfriend for valentine’s day, plus sharing links I loved this week and things you may have missed around here! I am currently near NYC visiting my boyfriend for a little pre-valentine’s day weekend together. We grabbed brunch around the corner today and are meeting one of my best high school friends and her husband in the city for brunch tomorrow.
