Morning! Well, it is another freezing day in Boston! Is it bad that winter has actually only been around for a little over two weeks and I am already over it? Ugh…I found myself stalling leaving my apartment this morning, not because I don’t want to work, but because I am just sick of feeling cold! Oh well, before we know it it will be spring and summer, right? Clearly, I am trying desperately to remain optimistic!
Yesterday evening while at the grocery store I found and was really excited to try it! This girl loooves pomegranates!
I mixed this yogurt with 1/2 a cup of Kashi Go Lean Crunch, 1/2 a cup pf Kashi Honey Sunshine, 1/2 a cup of blueberries, and 1/2 of a REALLY RIPE (almost to the point of rotten) Banana.
It was good. I liked it enough. I guess I am not really a fruit yogurt kind of girl. I prefer vanilla, plain or honey. It feel like it was a little sweet for me, but this may be because I never really eat the fruity ones? Who knows! It had a great pomegranate taste though.
As always, there was a little coffee involved!
When I got to work, I put this up right away! My friend Ibelis gave this to me as a gift! Isn’t that little doxie adorable??? I mean, clearly he is no Oscar, but he is still so cute 
Today’s outfit:
Black Turtle Neck (H&M), Black/ Blue Patterned High Waisted Skirt (Michael Kors), Black Tights (Target), Black round-toe Knee-High Boots (Steve Madden).
Here is the pattern of the skirt close up! SO FUN!
In Other News:
Well, if you follow me on Twitter, you will have noticed I challenged people to make 2010 their year of self-love- or the beginning of a lifetime of self love. In January 2009 I made the commitment to begin my journey to self love ( a journey that will constantly evolve, I am sure), you can read more about that in the Meet Ali section of my blog as well as this post. Since many people are currently making New Year’s Resolutions this month, I have decided to make January SELF LOVE MONTH!!!
I will be providing you all with one tip a day on how to love yourself from January 5-Feb 5. I would love to get readers/other bloggers involved! So, if you want to share your story about your journey to self-love or want to share a way that you show self love, shoot me an e-mail (foodfitnessfashion@gmail.com). These can remain anonymous if you want them to, no problem! I hope this inspires people to start their journey to self love and self improvement in 2010, it is truly the best gift you can give yourself!
So, for today the Self Love Tip is: Pay Yourself a Complement: At least once a day complement yourself on something, it can be based on the person you are, “I love how I am always willing to help out a friend”, it can be about you physically, ” I have pretty awesome quads”- superficial or deep! I will make you feel better, promise, even if it is just a little bit better. Soon you will get in the habit of focusing on the good things about you and not the flaws!
(yes those are actual complements I just gave myself )
Have a fantastic Tuesday! See you at lunch!!!!

Do you by chance know the “name” of your boots? They are adorable! I am so picky and have been looking for the right pair of black boots forever!
Allison:
HAHA I totally just pulled my boot off to look for you ans smacked my forehead off my desk just as my boss came to ask me a question. So, here I am shoeless holding my forehead!!! At any rate, they are called the Heidi and I love them!
I’m So glad you’re going to be giving Self Love tips. I don’t usually blog about it…but I have a lot of down days and feel bad about myself. I’m really going to make an effort to change for the better and I need all the help I can get.
PS: Love the skirt! Perfect for winter with tights and I can picture it in the summer with some brown sandals. (assuming it’s not a heavy fabric
)
Great, Melissa! It is not a heavy fabric at all, I wear it in the summer too. Here is it as a summer outfit (This was the day I decided to get it taken in. It fits so much better now!)

I love this idea! Especially for the month of January when everything is fresh and new.
Hahaha I’m just picturing you and what your boss was thinking. lol! Well thanks for being such a dedicated blogger and hitting yourself in the head while embarassing yourself! You’re the best!
Cute boots. Do you ever flip them up and wear them over the knee?
Thanks! Sometimes, but the reverse side of the leather looks a little different- different texture!
I love the skirt!
I have to say that since I started my blog and learned about Operation Beautiful, I stop my self-hating thoughts before I can finish them. Yay for Self-Love month!
I love self love month!!! after I pay my tuition this friday…im joining the gym….!!!! Starting it off right!
