This week finally "warmed up" a bit in the big city. It was actually above 30 degrees for 4 days in a row! Although I secretly love super cold weather (if not for the accessories), it was nice to be able to walk down the street without shivering.
I'm a summer girl through and through but winter can be fun too if you appreciate, embrace, and upgrade all of the required accessories. Here are some options to make a dreary winter day a little more colorful. But seriously, I'm ready for it to be over already!

I made this post in conjunction with an IFB project.
My adorable little brother, Jackson, asked his mother to make him apple kale muffins for his 2nd birthday. How amazing is this kid that he asks for muffins with KALE in them instead of chocolate cake or candy on his birthday? I only hope that one day my kids will be so awesome.
Although I couldn't spend his actual birthday with the little guy, I decided to try out an apple kale muffin recipe in his honor.
My husband Anel gave me this awesome hot pink and navy window pane shirt for Christmas (that has since sold out due to how popular it was this holiday season!). The first time I wore it, I paired it with plain black pants and an emerald green necklace, but I was feeling feisty yesterday so added some extra flair with pink jeans, yellow pumps, and some bling.
I recently read Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project and was inspired by her organized approach at creating a happier life for herself by having one aspect of her life to focus on and improve each month of the year. Although I'm a Health Coach and lead an almost insanely healthy lifestyle by normal American standards, I want to improve my health, lower my stress and anxiety, and feel better in my body in 2013.
