two-cent Tuesday...

yep my dears,

i'm giving ya'll my two-cents on some of the fine things in life

(according to me).

lots of links, so hope this finds you full of adventure!

on the motherhood front:

awesome post today from one of the great mommy blogs (on secretly wishing for a particular gender when expecting...)

i'm planning a diaper/bathtime supply shower for my lovely very prego sister and was researching practical gifts online and stumbled accross this AWESOME eco-friendly, unique baby product store.

post-bath snuggles. ahhhh.

on the shopping/fashion front:

i won a give-away today!! my friend Tricia has an etsy store that offers some wonderfully unique items and today i won a $20 credit to her store!!! so excited. i knew exactly what i wanted: the music note and map/atlas print coaster sets:

how awesome are these?!

....................................

my closet is looking so bare, depressing and bland these days...i'm in dire need of a new wardrobe.

{dreaming}

if i was granted a shopping spree to any one store it would SO be HERE.

 

all photos found here.

convinced?

i fashion-dream in FP. it's SO out of my price range it's not even funny. what i usually do is visit their store/websites and drool and take mental images of the items that i {love} and then hunt for similar articles online or at thrify city-based second hand stores....

on the fitness front:

confirmed benefits of taking your workouts OUTDOORS!

The study found that most trials showed an improvement in mental well-being: compared with exercising indoors, exercising in natural environments was associated with greater feelings of revitalisation, increased energy and positive engagement, together with decreases in tension, confusion, anger and depression. Participants also reported greater enjoyment and satisfaction with outdoor activity and stated that they were more likely to repeat the activity at a later date.
