Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, my friends! It’s 2014. ย Time keeps tickin’ and we’re still kickin’.

Are you starting any cool projects this year? ย A photo a day? ย A blog post a day? ย A gratitude journal? ย It’s fun to think of how to document a year from the start. ย My friend Tracy documents her year week by week with her My Everyday Life.

I like to start the new year fresh. ย With fresh intentions, a clear calendar, a clean kitchen, a glassful of juice, and… a new pair of kicks doesn’t hurt either.

One of the most satisfying things about January is a newย 2014 Datebookย ย ย โ€ขโ€ข ย It feels so good to fill the blank pages with lists. ย It feels like success!

My phone is for taking pictures, not telling me the time. ย Duh. ย I like a new watch the mark the new year. ย This ย La Mer Watchย ย ย โ€ขโ€ขย  is part watch and part bangle.

Let’s juice it up with aย BluePrintCleanseย ย โ€ขโ€ข ย I like to spend a few days juicing at the start of the year. ย After the holidays, after writing the dessert book, after a week in New Orleans… juice please juice! ย BluePrintCleanse is kind enough to offer us a discount on their juices! ย 20% off between January 1st and January 4th using code:ย JOYLOVE. ย Good for deliveries between now and January 31st. ย Get on it!

Fresh start withย Pretty Pink Lipstickย ย โ€ขโ€ข ย It’s almost weird how easily lipstick can change my mood.

Stomp into the new year with some classy sneaks. ย I likeย Red Converse Shoesย ย โ€ขโ€ข ย I mean business when I wear my red shoes.

Yea I’m wearing aย Tiger Sweaterย โ€ขโ€ขย so what!?

I’ve got my heart set on this Toasted Pecan and Blueberry Couscous Saladย ย โ€ขโ€ข ย It’s part healthy and part comforting. ย Perfect for the new year.

I just got Megan Gordon’s new whole grain breakfast book! ย So excited to dive intoย Whole Grain Morningsย ย โ€ขโ€ข

Creamy Zucchini and Tarragon Soupย ย โ€ขโ€ข ย Things are probably going to get pretty soupy this January. ย I feel a soup kick coming on. Prepare yourself.

Happy New Year to you. ย I hope you’re resting well today and gearing up for a beautiful new year. ย I promise to help you make it tasty. ย xo!

  1. Happy New Year to you too. You changed the direction of my blog with Homefries. I forgot to say ‘Thank You’ for that last year. So, ‘Thank You’.

    I’ll never wear pink lipstick, or do a juicy cleanse. But I do have red converse and I do believe we’re friends. XOGREG

  2. THANK YOU for validating my (hidden) desire for an actual, physical, on-the-desk, made-from-(recycled)-paper PLANNER. My planning brain is analogue, apparently.

    =) xoxo

  3. Love that sweater! I might just have to impulse buy..like right now?

    I’m doing a yoga project for 2014 on my blog: 52 Poses in 2014…a post every Sunday on a different pose incorporating photography, quotations, artwork, & writing….sharing with my students at my studio! Should be fun!

  4. My sister gets me an Erin Condren planner every Christmas and it’s my favorite way to start the year (until about June when suddenly it’s blank…). Happy New Year!! :)

    Sues

  5. Happy New Year and I like the date book for 2014. Not only would I fill up the dates of things to do, I wold fill it up with things I should do before its too late. Another bucket list but this year I would make sure I do the most amazing things I’ve never done before. On that note I am looking forward to 2014 it will be the best year of my life. LOL Paulette

  6. happy new year joy! this year I’ve committed to keeping one consistent sketchbook instead of random pages in I don’t know how many sketchbooks I have.

  7. Happy New Year. Today starts the day that my husband and I are each doing a art journal. Twice a month we pick a theme and have two weeks to complete it. First theme is landscape.

  8. Happy New Year and I love juicing after the holidays, trips, dessert cookbooks, or really just anytime. It’s such a great reset button when there’s been way too much everything :) Love that shade of MAC and that’s a new to me book – thanks for the tip!
