Tune in Tuesday | Guilty Pleasures

Not only have I guiltily indulged in drinking coffee again, but I've got some old-school college-day tunes on repeat these days. Despite my typically excellent and eclectic (aka bragging rights) taste in music, there are always a few exceptions to every rule. One of my exceptions is: John Mayer. I know! How embarrassing to admit that on a Tune in Tuesday!? Maybe it's a girl thing, the guilty pleasure of John's ooey-gooey crooning about love lost, that provides comfort and familiarity. I promise to redeem myself next week, dear readers! Bear (induluge) with me.

What I Want Wednesday


To market, to market with Melanie Linder today! What WE want?! Yummy, delish, organic, good-for-you, indulgent TREATS! And of course, that's exactly what we had. One of my new weekly feel-good rituals is to make a trip to see the fabulous Melanie Bare, of Fields and French Hens, at the Fairgrounds Farmer's Market. I get to stock up on organic protein bars for my long weekend runs (more on them later!), try a new sweet treat and get a hug from marvelous Melanie. (She's such a fox, I have decided she gets her own post just so I can tell you exactly how genuinely foxy she truly is.) Who wouldn't want to go to the market for that? And today it was double-trouble with my two favorite Melanie's in the same place at the same time! Overload! So now we're all hooked, on treating ourselves to treats (that are good for you inside and out) and on each other.

As an added bonus, Melanie Linder and I have also taken it upon ourselves to educate you, dear reader, on one treat a week that we both devour and then give you all the details.

First up: the Organic Cup of Joe cookie or maybe it was Organic Coffee Coconut - we ate them too fast to remember!

Christin swoons: Mmmm, chewy and moist texture, with just the right amount of coffee balanced with coconut flavor. Perfect pick-me-up for a gray Thursday afternoon. Loved the burst of the two crunchy coffee beans holding court in the middle of the cookie.

What did Mel think? Head over to blog to check out her take on our first treat tasting!

What I Want Wednesday | Your Regulary Scheduled Programming

Back to the basics this week of truly fabulous finds! And boy oh boy did I find a great gem to kick off the new year with - Odette. I will be pining away for any of her pieces all year long, I can promise you that! Her organic designs with Nordic elements, crafted in bright brass with sterling make my heart all a flutter and have me plotting and planning what my first pretty piece from Odette will be! Not to mention I can think of over 100 ways and days to wear any of her designs. It's pretty perfect. Oh, and can we please talk about her apartment featured on Design* Sponge? Just a little Wednesday wanting bonus: her blog.
