Using this for motivation to get me through the rest of the week.
School and work are picking up, and I’m starting to feel a little run down. Only 2 more days until the weekend!

pipe dream.
Yesterday Molly from A Piece of Toast posted about her pipe dream.
Until then, I had never heard of the concept of a pipe dream, but now I can’t stop considering what mine would be. A pipe dream is basically what you would do if you had nothing holding you back or preventing you from living the life you want
It’s funny how the first thing that popped into my mind was to open a restaurant or cafe. I’m studying communication in school and have never really done anything to qualify me to work in the food industry — except love to eat good food! However, I have been trying to improve my cooking skills since moving into my own place and finally having a clean, nice kitchen.
While I don’t think dropping everything and starting my own restaurant is in the cards for me (at least not now), I am trying to make an effort to explore anything that interests me right now. Who knows where it could lead!
So in that spirit, I’ve decided I’m going work on trying out some new recipes and attempting to branch out a little from my usual meals of pasta and salad. Look out for some new food posts coming soon!

Beyonce Bowl.
How amazing was Beyonce’s performance at the Super Bowl last night?
It was by far the highlight of the night for me; who cares about the football! She’s coming to Chicago in June, and now I’m dying to go to the show. I’m planning to spend the whole day today blasting her music and dancing around the apartment!
early morning.
One of my favorite times is when I wake up early enough to leisurely drink my coffee before running off to work of school

It doesn’t happen very often because I usually snooze until the last possible second, but I’m always grateful when I do pull myself out of bed a few minutes early. Being able to slowly drink my coffee while relaxing and reading some blogs always starts my day off on the right tone.
I’m really trying to make an effort to be more of a morning person and to wake up in time to enjoy time to myself in the mornings. It’s especially difficult on the weekends when I have no real reason to get up early, but this weekend I’m going to try my hardest to continue my habit of being an early riser.
rain, rain.
The past few days it’s been very rainy in Chicago. While some people might not like the rain, I’m actually a huge fan of it! For one thing, rain in Chicago means it’s finally warmed up above freezing (it was 60 on Tuesday!), and that’s always a welcome surprise in January. Rainy days also bring cute rainy day outfits.
In fact, rain is one of my favorite types of weather to dress for. Just behind dressing for sunny days at the beach. I love splashing in puddles in my rain boots, wearing a fabulous trench coat or rain slicker and carrying a cute umbrella.
Here are a few of my favorite rainy day looks:
If anyone needs me, I’ll be outside splashing around in a puddle! Have a wonderful (and dry) day.
