things to woot about : smoothies and vlog?

 happy Friday, everyone!
welcome to a new installment of 'things to woot about'!

Aside from the fact that we have been getting dumped on with snow, the thought of spring and seeing green grass [gasp] is way exciting.
[also, is it sad to think of 40 degrees as a heat wave? because I currently do...]
 

a dear friend gave me this awesome necklace she got for my birthday while she was in Africa earlier this year-- how cool and colorful?! I absolutely love it.  and here I am wearing it! my awesome friend Lauren took this picture of me, and she did my hair... because there was no way I could get my hair to curl that well on my own, people. she's preeettty talented.  while I was in Illinois a couple weeks ago I picked up this dress at Target for....eep, $20. It was on sale, so its somewhat of a score thrifty, but I just hate spending more than $15-20 on clothes. yeah, I'm cheap. :P thrift stores, garage sales and sale racks are my kind of shopping. however, I really love how colorful and simple it is...even has pockets on the front! [which I didn't get a picture of, sorry!] just the other day I updated my web portfolio...woot woot!! took me awhile, but I'm so glad to have that done. go check it out here!   tea is totally woot-worthy.  especially orange tea.  a friend told me this mug looked like something Cruella Deville would drink out of..haha! so naturally, I feel quite evil when I drink out of it...just kidding. :P  I recently started back up taking piano lessons...I stopped when I graduated 2 years ago, and I'm really enjoying it. so good to have motivation and a reason to push myself. around here there's an awesome local cafe that makes these incredible strawberry rhubarb smoothies:

and they've been closed for the whole month of February...

how I survived this long without one, I have no idea.

However, yesterday I got one.

so, so good.

while I live quite aways from a Starbucks/Caribou, there are some small town perks,

and these smoothies are one of them! ;)

 

I feel bad that I haven't been as consistent with blogging lately--when things are slower I get focused on other things and haven't kept this blog as updated as I would like!

But, I have a couple fun posts coming next week, and want to push myself to blog more during the week even if I don't feel like it. :)

one fun blog project I've thought about for awhile is to do a vlog [video blog] since my camera can shoot video....

sooo, I want to know if you [as blog readers] would want to see something like that,

and if so, what questions or things are you curious about that you'd like me to answer?

[i.e. how I got into photography, why I'm obsessed with orange, etc.] :)

 

If I get enough feedback or interest in a vlog I'll start working on one

 to be posted sometime later this spring!

 

anyone have exciting weekend plans?!

enjoy it!
