Color Me Domestic - Guilty Pleasure

I should make a list of all the guilty pleasures I have. There are several because I don't feel particularly guilty for any of them!

One of my latest additions to my guilty pleasure list is the aerolatte frother.

It was actually Molly of A Foreign Land who clued me into this little guy. She said it was one of her guiltiest pleasures and with a recommendation like that how could I resist?

The frother tool works like the wand at your local Latte shop. It creates air bubbles in your milk (or half and half) to make a delicious foam. You can froth as much or as little as you like (think latte vs cappuccino). 

I know spring is coming and iced coffees will be my drink of choice soon but it is still chilly in the morning and a warm frothy cafe au lait is the way I'll choose to start as many of them as I can!

Color Me Styled - Merrier Mondays

In spite of snow being in the forecast tonight and tomorrow here in Chicago... spring is coming. Spring brings longer days, fresh foliage and brighter fashions. All of these combine, at least for me, into the perfect recipe for positiveness!

Breaking out of our winter shells will bring a smile to any gal's face but I think there are a few extra things we can to do make our days even just a hint more positive. Every Monday in the Month of March (heck yes alliteration) I'll share a tip for living a more positive life. 

Working Titles: Merrier Mondays. Project Positive. Color Me Merrier. Color Me Tickled. (Let me know your favorite on Facebook and Twitter)

Color Me Styled's first step to Positiveness is to smile! If you're sitting at your desk, answering your client's 4th email asking for something they already have, you're probably scowling. Stop, take a deep breath and smile! Your cubicle mate might think you've cracked but you'll feel a million times better.

When you pass strangers on the street, or at the store, or in the hall, greet them with a smile. It doesn't have to be over-the-top but if they see you wearing a smile, they're more likely to smile and that could very well change their day! 

Smiling is contagious and it helps to spoil any sour mood. It is free. It is easy. And you can't overdo it. 

So, Happy Monday!! Keep smiling :)
