1. A little behind the scenes on the much anticipated 50 Shades of Grey movie, because, who doesn't want to know the juicy details from the making of the movie?

2. The age old question that everyone seems to continually argue about... Cardio or weightlifting? Which comes first?

3. Only the coolest healthy food blog ever. This blogger uses a spiralizer (a machine that makes zucchini and other vegetables into noodles) to create the most creative, healthy versions of pretty much every single recipe that originally uses noodles, rice, carbs, etc.

4. The most gorgeous interior ever. A bright and cheery California home that I'd gladly steal if possible.

5. Did you know that 10 minor adjustments in body language can possibly boots your career success? 

6. Utterly in love with this whole look. I am so into winter whites and pastels, even in the dead of winter.

1. Master your elevator speech. You should all have one... and business cards too!
2. A great list of new reads coming out this year, because, who isn't looking for a new book to add to their list? 
3. I love an industrial chic interior look (especially with hints of gold), but that bathroom? Holy cow... I would take a daily bath if mine looked like that!
4. It's that time when everyone starts applying for new jobs (if you were planning to do so of course), because it's hiring season! Top places to work and career advice, right here. 
5. Creative, yummy and yet healthy breakfast idea I've been wanting to try.
6. How to survive the depressing winter months. I don't know about you, but I actually like the winter... I guess I'm sort of a freak?

A few other things I'm loving this week...

• This cardigan. I think this might be my birthday gift to myself, since I cannot stop thinking about it...
• A really cool workout gear company I just discovered, oh and this top.
• The 50 Shades of Grey trailer. Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.
• How to manage stressful situations. I stress over everything. It's something I need to work on in the new year.
• Leaving your job and going out on your own: pretty much the scariest thing in the world, but this post is incredible and inspiring. I got chills (really). 
• The Aritzia sale is good... really good. And it got even better today with more markdowns!
