1.  Body Media Band
This year I got a little more into my health & fitness.  Thanks to my friend Nina, I was able to try out this awesome invention.  This arm band not only tracks your calories, it also calculates your sleep and steps.  I have the bluetooth version, which is essential.  You can see everything in real time on your phone and it makes logging your meals really easily.  I am able to pair it with my MyFitnessPal app, which allows me to just scan the barcode on food items to enter it.  What a cinch!  This system has really helped me to get to know my body and I learned A LOT!  You will too, so grab one and try it, they offer the first 3 months for free!  There is also a new version that you can fit in your bra and it will even track your elevated steps climbed.  It’s called a FitBit and that might be my next step:)

2.  BMW X-3
We bought one late last year and we absolutely love it!  Every time I get into it I am reminded of how much I love it.  The heated steering wheel and seats literally heat up within a minute.  Seriously!  Not to mention the oh-so-comfy seats, the power and tight handling make it worth every penny.  BMW has THE best warranty too – First 5 years with zero, and I mean ZERO maintenance – even oil changes.  Love, love, love it!

3.  John’s Shoe Repair
I found a cobbler!!!!  Finally, after all of these years… I finally found one – a GREAT one at that!  Just got a fab pair of vintage brazilian boots, like new, just needed new heel bottoms – fixed for under $10 and the boots are like brand spanking new.  Scorrrrrre!  N87w16459 Appleton Ave Menomonee Falls, WI 53051

4.  Raw Food Recipe Book
Our pal and former associate shooter, Jenna gave us this fabulous book.  When you eat more raw foods, you feel better in every way.  One of my favorite recipes is the avocolada – a pinacolada made with avocado.  Trust me, it’s awesome!  Thanks again Jenna:)

5.  Live Well Network
We love NOT having cable tv.  The shows that we do find the time to watch are on basic tv anyway – and if they aren’t we just HULU or Netflix it:)  The new LWN network rocks!  It’s like free HGTV:)  Ali Vincent from the Biggest Loser has a great show called Live Big.  Watch it!

6.  Kemps Frozen Yogurt
This is a great ice cream replacement.  I love making schaum torte with just this, the small merringue cookies, and fresh strawberries.  Even just a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips tops this tasty treat off perfectly.

7.  The Blind Horse Wine Dinner
Steven and I are self proclaimed ‘foodies’.  We absolutely love good food.  Wine dinners are the perfect place to enrich the palette and try new things.  A new restaurant in Kohler has the best wine dinners – The Blind Horse.  We have been to 2 dinners since they opened and we cannot wait for the next!  They pair each exquisite meal flawlessly.  Thanks to Carol & Charlie for introducing us to this little gem.  Worth the drive!

8.  Worthington Seamless Cami
I wear an undershirt cami with just about everything in the winter.  I used to love The Limited’s version, but then they cheapened out and changed the fabric – it wasn’t as thick!  I hate it when you can see through a cami.  I came across these fabulous ones at one of my new favorite stores, JCP.  For only $8 they are a total steal and super thick – excellent quality.  Even the white is completely opaque and can be worn alone.  I have white and black.

9.  M83 Album
When I first heard M83 on the radio I knew that I had to get the album.  Their 80’s flair reminds me of growing up.  The sounds are dynamic and easy to listen to.  I actually really love to listen to this album when I work out.  It’s so inspiring.  Sounds weird, I know, but listen to the music – it takes you to another place.  Can’t get enough.  #6 on the album, Raconte-Moi Une Histoire, makes me literally smile every time I hear it.  Listen to the album HERE – you’ll see:)

10.  Wigwam Wool Socks
When the hubs gave me these socks last year for xmas, I’m not gonna lie, I thought… “oooohhh….. that’s…. so…. sweet.”   because I just thought, socks are socks, right?  NO WAY!  These socks are amazing – especially for winter.  They keep my feet toasty (which is a miracle, I have terrible circulation), so plush, and made in WI – YES!  I have the Merino Comfort Hiker style in Light Khaki seen here.

11.  Fitness Magazine
I’m not sure how this ended up in my mailbox, but I am so glad it did!  This woman’s magazine is incredible.  Packed each month with LOADS of info.  Seriously, it took me soooo long to get through it because it was filled with sooooo many things I love… not just fitness – but health, tons of inspiration, tips and even fashion.  A bargain 1 yr subscription too, get it for $5.99 HERE!

12.  Style Blogs
OMG!  I fell in love with these things.  So much so that I even started one of my own.  However, I’m a bit delinquent in regular posting.  But I haven’t given up hope.  I just need to find a way to fit it into my life better;)  Working on it.  Check Spottswood Style HERE.  These are just a couple of my favs:  Atlantic-Pacific, Time Time Tomorrow, and Gal Meets Glam
