Joy.

I can't believe it's already February!!! Where has the time gone? I usually am not a big February fan but I recently read my friend, Erin Kanter's, post about her view on the month and Valentine's Day and it really turned my mood around. If you haven't done so already, you should check out her blog @ http://erinkan.blogspot.com/ Her two most recent posts will make you smile...I guarantee it :) And who doesn't need a mid-week pick-me-up? If you know her, you'll understand when I say we could all use a little Erin Kanter in our lives. So check out her blog!

Speaking of brightening my day, I've recently noticed that I have a lot of things in my life that bring an outrageously unexpected amount of joy to my life...this is post is a little on the long side, so read with caution!

My roommate, Kacey, introduced me to my latest go-to snack item: I'm all about keeping things traditional, but these Goldfish are AMAZING. The next time you're at the grocery store pick up a bag, you won't regret it!

Over Christmas break I bought myself a little present. I'm not the biggest Lilly Pulitzer fan, but this planner has absolutely saved my life! Despite the obvious cuteness factor, all the holiday's are marked, the months are themed, and you can decorate with stickers! Talk about a fun distraction for those boring lecture classes....what?

Awhile back ago my grandmother went to the mall in hopes of purchasing some new makeup. She ended up getting a free makeover and got a ton of samples and products that they used on her. She hated the foundation they used "It makes me look so Yellow!" was her complaint. Well, one girls trash is another's treasure, because she gave it to me and I have used it ever since! The coverage is even without the "cakey" affect we so desperately aim to avoid. A natural look with long lasting coverage...what more could you want?

There really is no explanation for this next one. It's a great bag and I carry it with me all the time. I use it as a bookbag and as a purse. It's a little on the pricey side but it's absolutely worth the purchase. It works all year round and it's ready for any weather! You can even go online and design your own!

This one really needs no explanation. Who doesn't love a show about friends, fashion, love and New York City? But the real question is...which character are you?

And finally, the ones who get a lot of credit for giving me the best semesters of college anyone could hope for. I don't know what to do with them...but I don't know what I'd do without them. They have been such a blessing in my life and provide me with nonstop joy. I wish everyone was lucky enough to experience living with these two crazy girls :)

Sorry for the long post but these things give me so much joy I couldn't just keep them to myself!

That's the LoDown.
Have a joyous day
