1.\u00a0 Body Media Band
\nThis year I got a little more into my health & fitness.\u00a0 Thanks to my friend Nina, I was able to try out this awesome invention.\u00a0 This arm band not only tracks your calories, it also calculates your sleep and steps.\u00a0 I have the bluetooth version, which is essential.\u00a0 You can see everything in real time on your phone and it makes logging your meals really easily.\u00a0 I am able to pair it with my MyFitnessPal<\/a> app, which allows me to just scan the barcode on food items to enter it.\u00a0 What a cinch!\u00a0 This system has really helped me to get to know my body and I learned A LOT!\u00a0 You will too, so grab one and try it, they offer the first 3 months for free!\u00a0 There is also a new version that you can fit in your bra and it will even track your elevated steps climbed.\u00a0 It’s called a FitBit and that might be my next step:)<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 BMW X-3
\nWe bought one late last year and we absolutely love it!\u00a0 Every time I get into it I am reminded of how much I love it.\u00a0 The heated steering wheel and seats literally heat up within a minute.\u00a0 Seriously!\u00a0 Not to mention the oh-so-comfy seats, the power and tight handling make it worth every penny.\u00a0 BMW has THE best warranty too – First 5 years with zero, and I mean ZERO maintenance – even oil changes.\u00a0 Love, love, love it!<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 John’s Shoe Repair
\nI found a cobbler!!!!\u00a0 Finally, after all of these years… I finally found one – a GREAT one at that!\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Scorrrrrre!\u00a0 N87w16459 Appleton Ave<\/span> Menomonee Falls<\/span>, WI<\/span> 53051<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Raw Food Recipe Book
\nOur pal and former associate shooter, Jenna gave us this fabulous book.\u00a0 When you eat more raw foods, you feel better in every way.\u00a0 One of my favorite recipes is the avocolada – a pinacolada made with avocado.\u00a0 Trust me, it’s awesome!\u00a0 Thanks again Jenna:)<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Live Well Network
\nWe love NOT having cable tv.\u00a0 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:)\u00a0 The new LWN network rocks!\u00a0 It’s like free HGTV:)\u00a0 Ali Vincent from the Biggest Loser has a great show called Live Big<\/a>.\u00a0 Watch it!<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Kemps Frozen Yogurt
\nThis is a great ice cream replacement.\u00a0 I love making schaum torte with just this, the small merringue cookies, and fresh strawberries.\u00a0 Even just a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips tops this tasty treat off perfectly.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 The Blind Horse Wine Dinner
\nSteven and I are self proclaimed ‘foodies’.\u00a0 We absolutely love good food.\u00a0 Wine dinners are the perfect place to enrich the palette and try new things.\u00a0 A new restaurant in Kohler has the best wine dinners – The Blind Horse<\/a>.\u00a0 We have been to 2 dinners since they opened and we cannot wait for the next!\u00a0 They pair each exquisite meal flawlessly.\u00a0 Thanks to Carol & Charlie for introducing us to this little gem.\u00a0 Worth the drive!<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Worthington Seamless Cami
\nI wear an undershirt cami with just about everything in the winter.\u00a0 I used to love The Limited’s version, but then they cheapened out and changed the fabric – it wasn’t as thick!\u00a0 I hate it when you can see through a cami.\u00a0 I came across these fabulous ones at one of my new favorite stores, JCP.\u00a0 For only $8 they are a total steal and super thick – excellent quality.\u00a0 Even the white is completely opaque and can be worn alone.\u00a0 I have white and black.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 M83 Album
\nWhen I first heard M83 on the radio I knew that I had to get the album.\u00a0 Their 80’s flair reminds me of growing up.\u00a0 The sounds are dynamic and easy to listen to.\u00a0 I actually really love to listen to this album when I work out.\u00a0 It’s so inspiring.\u00a0 Sounds weird, I know, but listen to the music – it takes you to another place.\u00a0 Can’t get enough.\u00a0 #6 on the album, Raconte-Moi Une Histoire, <\/span><\/span>makes me literally smile every time I hear it.\u00a0 Listen to the album HERE<\/a> – you’ll see:)<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 Wigwam Wool Socks
\nWhen the hubs gave me these socks last year for xmas, I’m not gonna lie, I thought… “oooohhh….. that’s…. so…. sweet.”\u00a0\u00a0 because I just thought, socks are socks, right?\u00a0 NO WAY!\u00a0 These socks are amazing – especially for winter.\u00a0 They keep my feet toasty (which is a miracle, I have terrible circulation), so plush, and made in WI – YES!\u00a0 I have the Merino Comfort Hiker style in Light Khaki seen here.<\/p>\n

11.\u00a0 Fitness Magazine
\nI’m not sure how this ended up in my mailbox, but I am so glad it did!\u00a0 This woman’s magazine is incredible.\u00a0 Packed each month with LOADS of info.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 A bargain 1 yr subscription too, get it for $5.99 HERE<\/a>!<\/p>\n
