That's right my lovely readers, I have been fulfilling my resolutions. For an entire month I have been dutifully crossing my t's, dotting my i's, and aspiring to make the most out of the new year. My biggest goal was to start eating better and my latest obsession has been smoothies. I generally like to pick easy recipes with just a few easy peasy steps, and I've been heading to Whole Living and skinnytaste.com for some delicious (and healthy) drinks. One single glass-full can be pleasantly full of vitamins, protein, and beautiful benefits - which I love. I'm super proud of myself and had to share with y'all! 

Here are some pics of this weeks concoction  - Power Protein Smoothie! xoxo

I don't know what y'all have planned for this weekend, but it should definitely include ZERO, a one man show starring my incredibly talented and wonderful friend, Danny O'Connor (who also just happened to be one of our handsome groomsmen)! 

This hilarious play has a little bit of everything. ZERO is the second play written by Danny and his brother, Robert. I saw it multiple times last time it was in Dallas, and I was never disappointed. It is side-aching, laugh until you can’t breathe funny, and perfectly upbeat. Even my husband, who hates going to the theatre, loves this show. With six distinct characters, you most definitely don't need another reason to go see it. Get more information here!  

See you at the show! xoxo

Y'all the Dallas Museum of Art is now free! So excited! This is one of my most beloved places in the city, and I'm totally loving this new approach to membership!  On January 21, the DMA returned to free general admission and launched a new program called Friends & Partners - completely free of charge to the public! I'm seriously stoked about being able to enjoy art without paying a dime. Click here for more information and be sure to take advantage of this amazing opportunity.

I cheated over the holidays and I'm feeling guilty about my little endeavor - and I have to come clean. Over the holiday I took a short drive to Fort Worth and was introduced to a fab restaurant. Defined by amazing meat and unique food combinations, Chef Tim Love's Woodshed Smokehouse was delish!  I wish I could pick this joint up and place it smack dab in the middle of downtown Dallas. I literally can't stop thinking about the crispy smoked brussel sprouts and the smoked marinated olives. Amazing! There are some really bizarre things on the menu, like shrimp-rabbit-rattlesnake sausage and chicken skin tacos (which I most certainly did try), but the overall atmosphere and yummy bites are not to be missed. I'm usually one hundred percent (no matter what) a Dallas advocate, but if you are heading northwest this place is a M.U.S.T.

Thanks Abbey love for introducing us! xoxo

Well, Dallasites I'm off! I leave tomorrow for Missouri. Just a quick visit to see the arch and the Show Me State. I've never visited, so I'll definitely be taking lots of pictures to share with y'all when I return! If you want to keep up with my little vacation, I would love for you to follow me on Instagram.

Have a safe and fabulous weekend! xoxo

Happy New Year Dallasites! 2012 was such an incredible year, and to ensure another fabulous year I've been pondering what I can put on my list - so this is my attempt to document and record my resolutions. 

One. Eat cleaner + start running again 

Two. Love harder + worry less 

Three. Enjoy {quality} time with family and friends  

Four. Get inspired + be creative 

Five. Appreciate + be grateful  

Six. Spend less money {the hubby will appreciate this one}

Seven: Travel + create adventures 

Too many? I hope I can aspire to all of them - wish me luck! Here's to 2013! What are some of your resolutions? xoxo
