Gustav Klimt

i received this painting as a christmas present about three years ago and could never find the name or artist. today my mom came home with a new wall calendar full of paintings by Gustav Klimt, finally helping me end my search! she thought it screamed me and she was right.

i am obsessed with this man. the way he uses color and the way he captures the human body is amazing. LOVE!

pour some sugar on me

for anyone who has a sweet tooth like me, I have just discovered the power of green tea!(although I fear the concept has been around for quite some time) i have uncontrollable sugar needs, so finding out that one cup of green tea suppresses the need for snaking is probably the best thing of my life.

i'm not a huge green tea fan but add in a little flavor and i'm your girl.

as a graduation gift to myself, i am trying to drop the ten pounds stress from school gave me. this little trick, my amazingly delicious meal plan (more on that as i see results), and some much needed working out should help me get there in no time!

One day.

it is so cold here in Chicago and there is snow every where. i am anxiously waiting for spring so i can waltz around in sheer shirts, maxi skirts, dresses, and my favorite jean shorts.
