...a clever logo
I have many weaknesses (just about any sweet treat from Trader Joe's, the entire J.Crew and Tory Burch stores, being a control freak) and strengths (being able to resist things from Tory Burch and pay my credit card bill, knowing I am a control freak and trying to change).
Designing logos is a major weakness of mine. My brain just doesn't conceptualize ideas well enough to come up with a great logo from start to finish. So when I see clever logos, I have ton a respect for designers who succeed with them. Like this little gem...Rewind Candles...

...healthy hot chocolate
I swear. This is a legitimately healthy snack, and fills you up for daaayyss (not really, but you get the point)!
You could of course make this with regular milk and it is just as good, but I actually prefer it with almond milk. I've slowly been phasing dairy out of my diet, so I tried almond milk in my smoothies one morning instead of yogurt. We fell in love and now I'm an almond milk kind of girl.
1 cup of almond (regular/soy/whatevs) milk
2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
Heat this in the microwave for 1 - 1:30 minutes, then stir until all the cocoa powder dissolves and add 1 tablespoon agave syrup.

...getting prematurely excited about summer
I haven't bought a new bathing suit in years. Late last summer I borrowed a friends suit at the beach and discovered what it was like to wear one that is A) the correct size, and B) doesn't have elastic so hilariously old that you're forced to cling to your bottoms as you emerge from the waves.
So, I decided this summer I will buy all new suits and throw out the old. Spotting this one from Anthropologie (wildy out of my price range unfortunately) got me all excited about summer and new bathing suits. Unfortunately, it is still January and I fear actual winter hasn't even hit us yet. Sorry.
