And just like that, the holidays come to an end and the new year begins! This also means the regular Table Talk Tuesday posts are back in full swing. It has been awhile…a long long while since I had the chance to create one of these posts. They are some of my favorite to write as they are filled with things that interest me, as well as new and exciting finds that I get to share with you all. I also have used these posts to answer any questions you may have, so feel free to always leave any questions in the comments below or shoot me an e-mail at [email protected].

New Year, New Motivation:

I have to admit, I like to believe in the whole mantra “new year, new you.” After completely over indulging for the past month (holiday cookies are my downfall) I am looking forward to getting back on my healthy eating routine as well as making time to work out again. In addition to wanting to better myself and lifestyle, I also love picking up a few new workout pieces for a little extra motivation on those freezing cold mornings I just don’t want to get out of bed. I recently stumbled upon these cute pink sneaks and I have been loving this Fossil Q smart watch that tracks your activity throughout the day, but also functions as a trendy, wearable watch! My favorite feature has to be the watch’s ability to take a selfie on your phone by simply pressing the tiny button on the side of your watch.

Warm Weather Getaway…One Stop Shop:

I recently was introduced to Everything But Water, which is an online boutique packed with so many of my favorite resort and swimwear designers and brands. They carry one of my go-to designers, Marysia, and I recently added this scallop bikini to my swim style wardrobe. I am also dying to try this high waisted bikini bottom by Mara Hoffman (they also have a ton of Mara Hoffman pieces on sale)!

Steal of the Day:

You all know by now how much I love a great faux leather jacket. Blank NYC is one of my favorite brands and currently have their classic moto jacket on sale for 35% off coming in at just $69! I’ve been wearing mine paired with a grey scarf (only $10) for these chillier winter days.

Winter Recipe:

My mother-in-law made this vegetarian chili the other night and it was to die for! It is from Sheryl Crow’s cookbook (that I totally forgot I had myself), so yummy and very healthy. The perfect start to 2017! She made corn bread muffins to accompany the chili and it was the perfect meal after a long day on the ski slopes. I can’t wait to go through this cookbook again and find other recipes to make.
