Happy New Year! I hope that 2013 has started off on a great note for you and your family. I’m excited to see what this new year will bring. I’m going (relatively) easy on the resolutions this year, since my theme for 2013 is “less is more”. I have been a list maker since I was a little girl though, so below are 13 things that are on my “food wish list” for 2013:

Enhance the soundtrack to your life with SOL REPUBLIC headphones
(Review and $129.99 Value Giveaway)
Congrats to the winner: Migdalia
I love working from home. The post image is a reflection of how I spend a chunk of my day – listening to background music on my Macbook Pro while I research and write. Although I’m at home by myself, the walls in our home are thin, so I don’t want to bother my neighbors. That is why I wear headphones.

Every time that I hear an inspirational song that I like, I just add it to my playlist. I listen to the songs on a loop so that I can stay motivated! Anyway, SOL REPUBLIC recently reached out to me to see if I would like to do a review and giveaway of a pair of their headphones. Since I actually had new headphones on my holiday wish list (since I wear them so much and my poor old pair was getting worn out), I was happy to accept their offer.

I have the four kinds of love that the movie so vibrantly illuminates…
