Uguisu
I'm loving these fun office/paper products from Uguisu.
Next week I'm heading down the hall to a new office. Perhaps I should
buy myself some fun stuff to add to the new office? I think so!

Recipe Wednesday: The Perfect Jumpstart to Your Day
Ah the life of a working girl. There is no rest for the wicked, really. After having over one week off to lounge around in my cute pj pants and watch Hoda and Kathee Lee every morning (I'm not joking. I want to join their show) it's back to reality. For the past two days I've had to get up before 7am and be a functioning adult by around 8:30ish...or at least by noon. Rough stuff, I know.
What is the point of all of this rambling, you ask? Well, I can't function without coffee (duh) and a tasty breakfast. Sadly I'm one of those people that eats her breakfast at her desk and it's usually greek yogurt with fruit. Boring, yes. But usually pretty tasty. Sometimes, though, I get crazy and break from this routine. This week I've been eating the best breakfast ever. It's simple and just the perfect amount of sweet and heat to get you going.
How does one make this perfect breakfast, you ask? Don't worry, I'll tell you. First, get a tasty bagel. I'd suggest a Gotham Bagel if you happen to be in Madison. Toast that badboy until it's golden brown.
Now that you've got a piping hot bagel slather some cream cheese onto it. Simple? Yes. But this isn't the end of it. Who on earth would call a bagel with cream cheese The Perfect Jumpstart to Your Day? Not this girl. Lame.
This bagel will no longer be ho hum once you put on Clem's Hot Pepper Relish. The relish is a combination of red peppers and sweet onions which results in a magical blend of sweet and heat goodness. You could eat this stuff by the spoonful. What makes this extra special is the fact that it's made just outside of Madison in Baraboo, WI by Hawkwind. From their site: Hawkwind is 75 acres of enchanted woods and farmland located in the Baraboo Bluffs. It is a marriage of our passions: farming, crafting our products, an Adventure Challenge Course, and Healing Center.
And that, my friends, is a great way to start any morning.

Music Monday: The Workout Edition
Well hello there and welcome to 2012. We're two days into the new year...so far, so good?
It only seems right that the first post of this new year would revolve around (almost) everyone's resolution to GET FIT. So, let's make this extra special and not only give you a song that will motivate you to get up in the gym but also some extra sexy outfits to make sweating to the oldies (and by oldies we mean jamz from the late 90s) just a bit more fun.
While spending a leisurely Sunday perusing some of my favorite blogs I came across a link to MICHI. I quickly put down my banana bread (Thanks Jos!) I was stuffing into my face and vowed to look like this by the beginning of the summer!
MICHI originated from the desire to fill the gap between provocative, glamorous lingerie and comfortable, utilitarian athletic wear. The designer, Michelle Watson, has worked for Kate Spade, Donna Karan and Ralph Lauren. Pretty impressive resume!
How's that for motivation to get your butt up in the gym? Not enough? Need some music? Ok, well here's the tune I've been slightly obsessed with for the past few months. How convenient that the title is Work Out. Any song that does a bit of a cover of Paula Abdul is a winner in my book.
Now, I think it's time for some beer, don't you? An entire keg of it.

Fashion Friday: C'est La Chine
For any of you that think Etsy is just a bunch of glue-gun wielding stay-at-home moms, you might be surprised at what you can find. Check out C'est La Chine. The styling for each shot is fantastic.

Living In...500 Square Feet
My Google Reader is currently out of control. Real world problems, I know. My goal is to tackle the insane amount of unread blog posts...but only after I stop drooling over this super cute place that was featured on Apartment Therapy. Can you believe it's only 500 square feet???
