With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, the gloom of winter is starting to be overcome by all things cute, heart-shaped, and romantic.
Even on the years that I haven’t had a special someone to share the holiday with, I’ve always enjoyed Valentine’s Day because of how much it celebrates my favorite thing – LOVE!
One of my favorite things to do on or around Valentine’s Day (or any time of the year, for that matter) is go to the movies with my guy or my girl friends. And this year, a new love story is coming out at the perfect time.
ENDLESS LOVE will be released on February 14th – Valentine’s Day. The film stars Alex Pettyfer (Magic Mike) and Gabriella Wilde (The Three Musketeers) in the story of a privileged girl and a charismatic boy whose instant desire sparks a love affair made only more reckless by parents trying to keep them apart. Check out the trailer:
I’m a sucker for a good love story, so I can’t wait to see Endless Love. In the meantime, though, I got some of my girl friends so share their favorite love songs for a fun little Valentine’s Day Playlist to get you in that romantic spirit before February 14th.

What’s your favorite love song?
i heart mondays.
Like most people, I used to dread Mondays with a passion. But lately? They’ve become one of my favorite days of the week.
Mondays are now what I consider one of my days off, in a sense. Even though I still work all day, they’re when I’m able to spend the most time alone, recoup from the weekend, and prepare myself for the week ahead. Lately I’ve been trying to have little to no plans on Mondays so I can do exactly that.
Yesterday was a particularly great Monday. I woke up and had some devotional time before getting started with the week.
I’ve been loving the Bethel “Without Words” album – definitely recommended if you’re looking for music to relax and unwind to.
After a quick 30 minutes at the gym, I eased into the work day. First up was a blog post, followed by starting my normal 9-5 work routine.
And then of course, there was breakfast! I’ve been loving Udi’s bagels lately – half topped with almond butter, the other half with a fried egg. Perfection.
In the afternoon I usually take a break to run some errands, and yesterday I stumbled upon this great new natural market right around the corner. Now I won’t have to travel all the way to Whole Foods for some of my favorite healthy foods. And that’s like, a big deal, people.
One of the best things my laid-low Mondays? Being able to wear comfy clothes all. Day. Long.
Probably the main reason yesterday was a great Monday is because I treated myself to a massage after work. My back has been bothering me lately, and thanks to a deal on Lifebooker I feel a million times better!
I wrapped up the day by catching up on some more work and a bit of good old reality TV.
…Oh, and a cupcake. Just ‘cause.
(That would be a Ticklebelly White Out Cupcake, and it was CRAZY good.)

What songs are you loving right now?
workout jackpot.
Recently I’ve been wanting to get back on the exercise bandwagon, but all I seem to find myself doing is sporadic 15-20 minutes on the elliptical machine.
And by sporadic I mean like, twice a week. Tops.
I realized that the main reason I hate working out is because I just get so bored. The easiest fix for me is always a good playlist, and Pandora clearly just wasn’t cutting it…
…and then a friend introduced me to KapSlap and this Spring Break mix (which you can download for free on the KapSlap website).
The first 30ish minutes are the best (hello my favorite Lana mix), but the whole thing is perfect - especially for cardio.
