Happy Christmas!

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday!

Perfect treat for a cold morning

I absolutely love baking. And this is definitely the time of year to get your mixing bowls out and your ovens going. What better way to enjoy a cold winters morning them with a cup of tea or coffee and a warm Orange Cranberry scone?! This recipe comes courtesy of my beloved Ina Garten, and can be found here. Words can really not describe how good these little babies are. Sweet and delicious and flaky. The trick is to keep all the ingredients cold. They may not be the fastest thing to whip up, but they are definitely worth the effort.

And for some reason everyone is REALLY impressed when you make scones. I brought them into work and they got snapped up in record time!

If you know a girl who runs, this is what you should buy her

So, a busy social and work schedule prevented me from doing a big holiday shopping guide this year. For this I am sorry. However, there are a couple days left before the BIG day. And if you have a girl on your list who is a runner (or you are a girl runner and want to treat yourself - which is what I did), then these running gloves from Lululemon are a MUST! They have the great slim fit glove design I loved about the pair I bought last year, but they've added a windbreaker mitten flap! Perfect for those cold blowy days I know are coming.

Oprah's got nothing on us

Step aside Ms. Winfrey, there is a new Book Club in town! My girlfriends had the great idea the other month of starting our own Book Club. Our goal is to read one book a month. Brilliant. Our first pick was The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I LOVED this book. The story centers around a group of women in Jackson Mississippi during the civil rights movement. Most nights I was up super late because I couldn't put it down.

Just as great as reading the book, was getting together with the girls to discuss it. We had some yummy snacks and plenty of good wine. You know when you wake up with a bit of a hangover that your Book Club is a great success!!

I've been a delinquent

Hello there friends. I've been a total blogging delinquent lately. Apologies. Work's been busy. I've been exhausted. And rather social. New posts will start again tomorrow. Promise!
