day off
Sorry I've been away for so long. This new year has been just as busy as the holiday season! I'm also getting over a stomach virus too, yuck! Today I have off work! I love days off. I love sleeping in until 11:00, watching whatever I want on TV, lounging around drinking coffee, going to the gym whenever I want, and also browsing target (for those of you that know me know that I could live in target). I've been doing and still plan on doing all of those things today. I'm sad that Brian had to go into work, I wish he was able to enjoy a longer weekend too.
Oh my gosh and I just discovered the most AMAZING thing ever! It's called speculoos. It's like peanut butter but made with cookies. It kind of tastes like ginger bread. Ahh it is so good!!!! I'm obsessed!!!!!!!!!
Here are some things I adore:

Resolutions & outfit post.
I always have a difficult time keeping my new years resolutions. Probably, like most people, I'm really good for a few months (or weeks) and then it's like I magically forget about my resolution. This year I have a few resolutions and they all have to deal with health, of my body and mind.
The first resolution is to drink a ton of water, like five or more 16 oz glasses of water each day. I always have a difficult time drink water unless I'm really thirsty, if I drink water on an empty stomach it makes it hurt...weird I know. But anyway ever since I started drinking more I've noticed positive changes in my skin. It's brighter and the bags under my eyes have faded. It's a simple and very cheap way to keep your skin looking gorgeous. Oh and it also fills me up so I eat less... win win!
My next resolution is to make it to the gym at least 5 times a week. Before break I actually got into a good habit of going, but once I went home it was all down hill from there. It's not that I ate a ton and need to lose the extra lbs. it's just that I didn't work out at all when I was home, mostly because it was in the teens in WI. Not really fun to run outside when it's that cold. When I do workout consistently I feel so much better. I've been going right after work which seems to help. I want to have my best body ever and 2013 is the year!
My third and last resolution is to stress less and live in the moment. I definitely bring anxiety upon myself worrying about the littlest details that I miss out on the bigger picture and the special moments that it brings. Being in the moment is what counts because it won't happen again and I really don't want to regret missing out!
So there you go, those are my 2013 resolutions.

Here is one of two tops from J Crew that Brian got me for Christmas (sorry if some of the photos are a little fuzzy, we didn't have great lighting in the apartment and it's at night)
Sorry I couldn't find this sweater on the j crew website

Wedding (photo diary)
I can't believe it's already 2013! Time sure does fly when you're having fun! I spent NYE with my sister, Mark, and Bobcat (the siamese cat). We decided it would be most fun (and cheap) to stay in and make a pizza and some cocktails.
As I've mentioned in a few previous posts Brian and I went to our friends wedding in St. Paul, MN this past Saturday. They held the ceremony and reception in the James J. Hill Reference Library. It was a gorgeous location! Rachel was so beautiful. She wore a vintage-looking lace dress that was absolutely stunning!
We pretty much danced the night away and shut the place down~true Kari and Brian style.
