It’s a grey dreary day, smack in the middle of January and as we all come down from our tinsel and mistletoe filled holiday high I wanted to share three things that have brought me joy this past week.  Enjoy!   

 

 As a musical die-hard, I’ve been dying to see La La Land since I first saw the trailer in November and after all the Golden Globes it won this weekend I want to see it even more.  It looks both spectacular and beautiful.

 

It’s that time of the year when everyone is trying to eat a little healthier (the produce section was packed at Fred Meyer this weekend!) and there’s simply nothing easier than whipping up a smoothie for breakfast or a mid-day pick-me-up.  This green smoothie is one of my favorites and I’m looking forward to trying this pomegranate, beet, and greens smoothie tomorrow morning.  

 

While it’s no secret that fresh flowers skyrocket in price throughout the winter there are weeks that I crave the pop of colorful joy that fresh flowers bring to our home.  I loved a tip I read recently:  the secret to simple arrangements is a vase with a small neck.  Even a single bloom will look beautiful, instead of sparse and fewer flowers = cheaper!
