Joie de Vivre

Joie de Vivre is a new weekly tradition that I will be kicking off this year!  I want to share with you guys the joys of living (joie de vivre).   It will include things that I sometimes take for granted that make me happy as well as other fun things that I currently love. Perhaps it will inspire others to stop and smell the roses. 

My new cape.  I had been searching for one for so long and I finally found one and it was on sale too! I've been wearing it almost every day that I can.  It looks great paired with fun tights or skinny jeans and long gloves.

Whiskers on kittens.  Yes, it is very reminiscent of the song on "The Sound of Music" but I must agree. I love  how cute kitties are with their whiskers.

As some of you know, I will be getting married in June and it is time to get serious about weight loss!  My heart rate monitor has been one of the most encouraging tools!  It tells you exactly how many calories you have burned during your work out session!

I received this book as a gift from one of my co-workers and I absolutely love it. It brings an instant smile to my face when I read it. Its literally pages of poems written in cat's point of view.  Definitely a great book for the coffee table or restroom.

Whats so great about this lip treatment is that it was absolutely free. I received it as a free gift from Sephora and I didn't pay it much attention until I couldn't find my usual chapstick.  This stuff is wonderful!  It keeps my lips moisturized during the cold weather and its slightly tinted so it gives lips some color.
