Workout Motivation

"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going." It's a great phrase for anyone working on their fitness. And for many, a prime motivator is new workout wear. Personally, I've loved wearing the adidas line for many years. The pieces are good-looking and comfortable whether I'm walking, playing tennis or doing yoga. And their new collection includes stylish pieces for a wide variety of sports. Check out the adidas line at adidas.com - and keep looking good, even while you're sweating :)

Living in a Zoo

Classic animal prints will never go out of style. Plus, there's a huge selection of wild animal decor for every room in your house. Recently, I recovered two of my mother's chairs in a great leopard print. Now they're the focal point in my den. So if you don't have any "animals" in your house, try adding a couple of new items and you can be "living in a zoo"!

Fresh Mint

The color mint looks fresh in any home design. Maybe we associate it with our love of chocolate chip ice cream. Who knows!
And it works with so many darker colors, including gold, black, blue, and orange. So add a fresh color to your home with a dash of mint!
