{Music // “Yellow” The Vitamin String Quartet}

I went to hot yoga last night and during our final pose {savasana}, this song played. With my eyes closed and my body resting in such a peaceful state, the melody filled the air and the open spaces of my wandering mind.  It was the perfect way to remain present while soaking in the beauty of the day… and the benefits of my yoga practice.

I desperately wish there was a YouTube video of this amazing String Quartet playing this version of Coldplay’s song live… but there isn’t.

Please do yourself a favor, take a moment, close your eyes, and listen to their amazing rendition…

 

 

{Do Good // Charity: Water}

This wonderful non-profit makes being charitable easy!

“Instead of birthday presents, just ask your family and friends to donate to clean water projects for your big day.” They use 100% of the money you raise to build clean water projects around the world. How fantastic is that?

You can also donate to this worthy cause by purchasing products from their online store {click here}.

 

 

{Recipe // Nutella Cinnamon Rolls}

This recipe comes to us from one of our favorite blogs…. “A Beautiful Mess.”

Clearly, I have a thing for cinnamon rolls… I think I’ve already posted a few recipes of different variations!

Cinnamon rolls + nutella = pure heaven!!

A perfect addition to your weekend!

 

 

{Design // Serena & Lily}

In terms of decor, this company truly has “everything you need for a happy home!”

I have had my eye on these handcrafted storage baskets for several months!

They also come in two other colors: pink & natural.

 

I also love their rolling storage crates!

{Beauty // 10 Minute Loose Curls}

This tutorial {via: Pink Pistachio} is fantastic for those of you that have always admired loose curls on others, but haven’t had a clue on how to produce the look on yourself!

After watching her tutorial last year {an older version – – click here to view}, I was finally able to curl my stubborn, thick… auburn hair!

 

 

 

{Kids // Classroom Valentine’s}

Now is the time to start planning your classroom Valentine’s cards!

I actually purchased Sophia Blue’s from Tiny Prints last year. They were darling, and were much more personal since I was able to add her picture and customize the cards with fonts and colors of our liking. They have dozens to choose from that you can create with or without your child’s photo!

 

 

{Homemaking // Tidying up Your Kitchen}

From “The Kitchn” 15 of their best tips for keeping your kitchen clean, tidy and smell-free!

Think I am going to focus on a few of these this weekend!

 

 

{Fashion // The Perfect Shoes & Accessories}

You probably know by now that Anthropologie is our favorite store

{serious love}.

Here’s a pair of shoes, a necklace, and a wristlet that we are ga-ga over!

{Wedding // a.m.a.z.i.n.g. Invites}

I can’t remember when I first found this incredibly talented artist, but it was some time ago. I am in awe of modern calligraphy which first drew me to her site, plurabelle. She is by far, one of the most gifted in this artform.

Recently, I went on her blog to see her most latest work. I came across these wedding invitations, which are more lovely… more detailed… and more charming, then any I have ever seen!

 

 We hope that you all have a {lovely} weekend! xo

Nicole and I thought we would bring you something new….

Throughout the week we both spend time researching for our posts and browsing the web.

During this process, we come across many things we think would be interesting, inspiring, or just plain beautiful to share with you.

Each Saturday morning we thought we’d bring to you our finest picks of the web for that week!

A little mental vacation when you secure a moment of peace to yourself…

We hope you enjoy {weekend} lovelies….

  • For rapid leg weight loss, a combination of intense cardio and targeted leg exercises is key. High-impact activities like running, cycling, or jumping rope burn calories and reduce overall body fat. Adding exercises like squats, lunges, and leg lifts tones and strengthens the leg muscles, giving them a more defined, lean look. Pairing these exercises with a healthy, balanced diet will accelerate the process.  #RapidLegWeightLoss #SexyLegs #FitnessJourney #LegToning #FatBurning #StrongLegs #CardioForLegs #HealthyLifestyle #LegDayWorkout
