I saw these at Coach the other day and fell in love with the Hugo Guinness key chain/holder (first image on the left). Then I went searching on their site and found out how fantastic the whole line is, who cares if it's "for men" I want it all!
Runner/Cyclist vs Car
Runner's World is a great resource of mine. Especially while I am recovering from some knee and heal injuries. Today, I ran across this on their site, and despite it being a cycling graphic, I thought it was great for anyone who out exercising among those in their automobiles. And while I would love to write a commentary on the fight between car and bike, I will restrain myself with only one comment: Person in the car, we are not looking for a fight. You are in a car, we are on a bike. You WILL WIN. And thought that might sound nice at first, it won't be for you, your drivers license or your insurance. Just keep that in mind, next time you want to hit one of us, cyclist or runner.
These are some great ideas and alternatives to my standard "give 'em the ole bird." My personal two favorites are starred. I might actually try the "call me" one, just to see what they do.
What do you do when confronted with a rude driver? Have any other great ideas? Happy Sweating.

love
I am not a huge fan of Valentine's day. Mainly because I was single for so long and it just seemed to bring me and all my single gals down. Last year was one of the first times I celebrated it with a bf I truly love with all my heart. I will admit it was special. Along with a romantic meal at Ado in Venice, I even managed to DIY his gift based after this lovely etsy shop by sarah & bendrix (except mine was white and red). I really love how it came out. And it's really a piece of art you can display year round!
But this February 14th will be pretty low key. Not big dinner out, no big gift or celebration. We like to celebrate each other everyday. So, this year I will be focusing on friends and family on Valentine's Day to make sure they know how luck I feel I am to have them in my life.
Although I know many many of you do celebrate it. And I thought this etsy shop by Tenisha was just to adorable to not share.
Here's to a having a happy heart day!
Making it Count
I am having one of those days where you just mentally beat yourself every second. There are some changes I would like to make and one of these is definitely to start eating better. I would call myself a healthy over-eater. For the most part I eat good foods, lots of veggies and fruit, not too many processed foods and I drink 3 liters of water a day. But I love food, so I usually just eat (and drink) a little too much.
On top of it, I usually try to sweat 6 days a week. During the holidays, the bf and I hired a personal trainer during the holidays to help us both with our problem areas and lose those last few pounds. And thought I didn't gain weight over the holidays, I didn't lose either.

Sometimes you see something and you know right away it's gotta go up on the blog. I will take one of all of these, please Reiko Kaneko. But if I have to choose, I want the lipstick mug!
