Here's what we're loving and living for this week.
1. We usually keep it simple on our nails, but these nail art ideas got us thinking that maybe we should branch out a little. Maybe we'll try one on our next manicure.
2. We know it's not new, but we've been addicted to Fixer Upper reruns on HGTV lately. We love Chip and Joanna's style and it inspires us to tackle some house projects of our own this summer. Stay tuned for more!
3. My husband made this One Skillet Lemon Chicken and Orzo this week and we couldn't stop eating it! It would be awesome with shrimp instead of chicken, too. Plus, who doesn't love a one-pot meal? (Especially when you're the one doing dishes like I am!) --J
4. Last night was the series finale of Scandal! So much for our Thursday tradition of wine, popcorn and Olivia Pope. If you're going to go through withdrawal without this show, then look back at this amazing retrospective of Olivia's amazing fashion sense!
5. GAP is running its Spring Sale with up to 60% off and an additional 40% off with the code HAPPY. If the forecast ever looked like it would warm up, we'd definitely be stocking up on some spring stuff!
6. If you're looking for a new comedy show to watch, try The Good Place! We recently caught up on this comedy and were sad to finish it off. It took a little while to click, but by the end, I loved the characters and was cracking up. The first season is on Netflix and you can find season two on NBC's site. --J

Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. Our mom gifted us with these adorable monogrammed insulated wine glasses for Easter! You better believe we'll be rocking them this summer around the pool or at the beach!
2. Are you getting as excited as we are about the upcoming Royal Wedding? If you (like us) love Meghan's style, you can check out this great post about how to copy her look yourself!
3. We spotted this new Essie Summer collection on Amazon earlier this week and had to order! Can't wait to try out At Sea Level for summer!
4. We are suckers for a good striped shirt, so we loved this Popsugar post with so many great striped options!
5. We're always hearing ads for MVMT watches and sunglasses on our favorite podcasts, so we finally had to check them out. There are so many amazing styles and the prices are great! Polarized lenses for less than $100!? Yes, please!
6. How delicious does this chicken milanese look on Happily Eva After? This would be great for a spring dinner with an arugula salad or angel hair pasta.

We took a little Spring Break last week, but we're back again! Also, can you believe that today's post is our 200th post! How crazy is that, right?
Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. Today is our Aunt Margaret's birthday! In her honor, we're linking to two favorite posts with some of her signature recipes, zucchini bread and no-bake cookies.
2. As part of a recent Macy's Clinique gift-with-purchase, I received a sample size version of this Clinique Moisture Surge Hydrating Supercharged Concentrate. My skin tends to be a little on the dry-side so I have loved their Moisture Surge line in the past. I used this as a serum, before my day-time tinted moisturizer and night moisturizer. I think my skin did feel a little softer and looked a little glowy. Give it a shot! --J
3. You couldn't tell it from the weather around TTO Headquarters, but spring is supposedly here! We are looking at adding to our shoe collection for spring and love these colorful sandals! They'd go with everything!
4. Even though neither of us is looking to move any time soon, this post on Young House Love about how to style and stage your house simply was super interesting!
5. You guys, Target has the most amazing new Beauty Boxes! They're available online and in-store and each one focuses on a different beauty aspect. Also, for just $7 you get an amazing variety of products! We want them all!
6. We recently started listening the GOOP podcast, presented by Gwyneth Paltrow and others from her Goop corporation. There have been several interesting episodes--from an interview with Oprah (!) to a discussion of how hormones impact women and weight loss. Check it out.

Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. How cute are these pants that Jess snagged on sale this week? Looking forward to wearing them with a strappy heel once it finally warms up!
2. We love this upcoming collaboration between Keds and Rifle Paper Co. These will be perfect for spring!
3. Our grandma is celebrating her 100th birthday this week! Can you believe it? In honor of her birthday, we thought we'd share a similar recipe to her signature cookies. She fries a batch of these up at Christmastime and they always go fast! Happy Birthday, Grandma!
4. If you're looking for a killer workout, try this 30-minute tabata on Popsugar. It will get you working hard in hardly any time!
5. Mark your calendars, the Royal Wedding is coming on May 19th! Harry and Meghan have sent their official invitations and you can see them here.
6. Are you guys following our favorite gal, Jennifer Garner, on Instagram? She's the cutest and super relatable. She has shared some cute cooking videos, which you can check out here.

Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. Last week, I saw Black Panther and it was awesome! The effects and stunts were amazing. I sure spent time this week looking up what workouts Lupita and the other stars used to get in insane shape! --J
2. Have you guys watched the new season of Queer Eye on Netflix? We were fans of the original makeover show and the new one is just as great. We love the new Fab Five and the transformations are so great!
3. I recently bought these exercise sliders after doing a Popsugar workout from David Kirsch (J-Lo's trainer). Hoping they'll make me look like JLO! --R
4. How cute are these pink Keds? Do you think I can pull them off for spring? --J
5. I used these tips for early morning travel survival on a recent trip to Las Vegas. Give them a try if you have an early morning flight coming up! --R
6. Since this weekend is March Madness, it's as good a time as any to remind you of Ry's Chex Mix recipe. We will be making it this weekend, no doubt about it!

Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. We always get excited for great Target collaborations and this week, they announced an upcoming collection with Hunter! You better believe we'll be standing in line for this one!
2. We love stripes in any season, but they're especially great in the spring and summer. Jess immediately ordered these earrings after spotting them 40% off at JCrew last week! Can't wait to rock them!
3. You guys know how much we love Smitten Kitchen and this week, we tried her black bean soup. It was awesome served up with a little avocado toast on a Meatless Monday!
4. It's time again for the GAP Friends and Family sale. Everything is 40% off and free shipping with the code FRIEND. We've got our eye on a few new arrivals for Spring including this top, and this floral dress.
5. If you're looking for a great neutral nail polish that's perfect as a spring transitional color, try Essie Mixtaupe! I tried it this week and my nails looked super professional and pretty all week! --J
6. We each pinned this recipe for Penne ala Vodka to Pinterest within minutes of one another, so it must be a good recipe! Going to have to try it out soon!

Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. Last week, we featured a post about our favorite bright lip colors as one of the latest beauty trends. Check out this video tutorial on Popsugar featuring another adorable set of twins, Shanae and Shaniece Cole on how they rock this trend.
2. Her recipes are always amazing, but how good does Smitten Kitchen's take on the classic boxed macaroni and cheese look? We may need to give this a try soon!
3. After seeing this Lavender Salve on one of our favorite blogs, Sweet Southern Prep, this week, I knew I had to order it. I'm looking forward to comparing it to my old favorite, Smith's Rosebud salve.
4. We upped our Taco Tuesday game with these fridge pickled veggies this week and they were awesome. Next time, I think we'll add a jalapeno or two! I think they'd be great not just on tacos, but on a sandwich (pulled pork?), burger or whatever!
5. The Oscars are Sunday! Will you be watching? Ry hosts an annual party (complete with swag bags), so we'll be watching together.
6. If you love Meghan Markle (the Duchess to be)'s dress at her speaking engagement earlier this week, but the Jason Wu dress is too pricey, check out this article with some similar looks! We knew we loved her--she also rocks navy and black together, which is one of our favorite looks!

Here's what we are loving and living for this week!
1. On our President's Day off, we decided to move up our usual Taco Tuesday to Monday. Jess made this crockpot barbacoa recipe and it was a total hit!
2. While making an Amazon Prime order the other day, I added these beaded tassel earrings on a whim. They're not the highest quality (hence the price point) but the color is great and they're not too heavy either. --J
3. You know how we love a good face mask. One of our recent favorites is this Pacifica Disobey Time Rose and Peptide Mask from Target.
4. As much as we all love checking all our favorite blogs, I've been thinking a lot recently about trying to quit my phone habit. I have found myself playing Monopoly with my kiddo and I mindlessly grab my phone and start to check Instagram. Not my finest mom moment, but I think we can all relate. Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere blogged about it this week and she also linked to this helpful article. I'm going to give it a try this weekend and will report back! --J
5. After seeing something similar on our favorite hostess at our favorite neighborhood restaurant, we've been on the lookout for a kimono-style jacket. We may have to scoop up this one from Target. Throw under a black tank and some skinny jeans and you're date-ready.
6. This Olympics, we were totally obsessed with Canadian ice dancers, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir. If you're like us and you can't get enough of them, then check out their 2014 reality show which is streaming on Amazon. We might have to marathon this weekend!

Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. How adorable is this rose gold brush set? And a great price for all these brushes! Ry decided to refresh her beauty routine by ordering this earlier this week and it's so great!
2. We might need to try out these easy Chocolate Chip Meringues this weekend! They look so easy and we already have everything in the cupboard! They would also be impressive on Valentine's Day for your sweetie, gals or coworkers.
3. It seems like everyone on the internet is talking about this Trader Joe's Rose Water Facial Spray. It's only $4 and claims to hydrate and condition skin with a great smell. We grabbed it on our last TJ's run and will let you know what we think after a trial.
4. How cute are these tassel earrings? And check out that price!!
5. What do you guys think of this letter board? I'm on the fence if it is super cute, or if I'm just jumping on the trend because I think it would make great Instagram pics. Thoughts? Would it work in my kitchen? In the Kiddo's room? --J
6. Updating your resumé is the living worst, but there are some great tips in this article.

1. You guys know how much we love crockpots, so we love this round-up of Favorite Crock Pot recipes on Cup of Jo this week.
2. If you're looking for some cute DIY Valentine's Day manicures, check out this slide show with so many ideas!
3. If you are looking for the coziest lounge hoodie, try this cozy pullover from Gillian O'Malley at Target. Seriously, Ry had it on and I immediately bought it on our Target trip a couple of weeks ago. It's so comfy and (full disclosure), I wear it around as atheleisure-wear, not just for PJs.
4. We're not big on New Year's Resolutions (most people have probably given up on them already!) but we're always looking for ways to be a little healthier. This recipe for Green Fish would be super tasty and healthy!
5. If you are looking for a killer workout, try this Popsguar kickboxing workout with the creator of The Cut, Christa DiPaolo. It claims to burn 500 calories and we believe it!
6. What are you making for the Super Bowl this weekend? We haven't decided yet on our main course, but we're betting we have a batch of Ryan's Chex Mix to snack on! If you haven't tried it yet, do yourself a favor and do it!

Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. We've mentioned how much we love the Essie Treat Love Color line. They provide color for your nails combined with a treatment to make your nails stronger. We often go to this after removing our shellac to help our nails get back on track. Essie has recently released a ton of new colors in this line and Essie Envy has a great review with swatches!
2. We have talked about our love for the Lilly Pulitzer Elsa blouse before, but we both ordered new ones at the After Party Sale this year! This is literally the most flattering blouse ever and we could wear them anywhere!
3. This chicken tortellini soup looks easy and delicious. If the weather is as cold where you are as it is at TTO Headquarters, you might want to give it a try!
4. These cord leggings are on super sale and still available in a few sizes! I bought them after the holidays and love them! The stretch is great and they're as comfortable as they are cute. Wear them to work with boots and a tunic sweater like me! -- J
5. How cute are these gingham flats at Target? Even though it will probably be a while before they make it into our wardrobe rotation, we may have to scoop them up this weekend on our weekly Target trip!
6. How cute is this ruffle bodysuit at JCrew on SUPER SALE! Ry has it and loves it! Also, all JCrew final sale is an extra 50% off with the code SAVENOW.

Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. Last week, we saw I, Tonya and we can't stop talking about it. We've been huge figure skating fans since we were kids, so we totally remember the whole incident very clearly. In fact, we were volunteers at the 1994 National Figure Skating Championships in Detroit and we were at the venue just the day before Nancy was attacked. Anyway, we thought this was an interesting and sometimes funny take on all of the drama. Plus, Allison Janney is amazing!
2. This is an awesome hair tutorial which highlights common mistakes we make when drying our hair. We've all been guilty of some of these from time to time.
3. We love listening to podcasts and our recent fave is called Keep It. Host Ira Madison III takes on pop culture and politics in one podcast that is pretty darn funny. We are constantly saying his catchphrase "keep it" about everything we are just done with! Winter weather--keep it! Check it out!
4. I have never been a breakfast eater, so it's always a struggle to find something I want to eat in the morning. Ry introduced me to this Kind Breakfast Bars which have 8 grams of protein!--J
5. If you love The Crown like we do, you should try watching Victoria on Masterpiece on PBS. Season 1 is streaming on Amazon Prime if you need to catch up! Regular episodes air on PBS on Sunday nights.
6. Speaking of royals, no matter what our mom says, we still love Meghan Markle and her fashion sense. How about this bag she carried earlier this week?

Here's what we're loving and living this week!
1. You might remember that we had When Breathe Becomes Air by Paul Kalanthi and The Bright Hour by Nina Riggs on our list of non-fiction books to read last summer. We recently read this amazing article about Paul's Widow and Nina's widower finding love together. What a heartwarming update to their stories!
2. If you're looking for the perfect peanut butter cookie, try these from Gimme Some Oven and thank us later!
3. After the Golden Globes last Sunday, the gals at Go Fug Yourself have a great recap the whole night. Can we just talk about how much we love Oprah?!
4. I made this whole-grain breakfast cake (substituting blueberries for strawberries because that's what we had in the freezer) this week and it's been awesome! My tweak was using 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp almond extract. --J
5. How cool are these moto leggings on sale at GAP? Maybe they're meant for working out, but we'll be rocking them whenever we can. Athleisure for life!
6. If your dry winter skin could use a little help, try this Miss Spa Exfoliating Facial Scrub. It will get rid of any dead skin and leave your skin feeling softer.

Friday Pick-Six: 1/5/18
Here's what we're loving and living for on the FIRST Friday Pick-Six of 2018!
1. For New Year's Brunch earlier this week, Jess made Smitten Kitchen's Monkey Bread with Cream Cheese Glaze. How amazing does it look? And it tasted as good as it looks! Pro tip--you can assemble the whole thing all the way up to the rise in the bundt pan and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Just make sure to set it out on the counter and let it come to room temperature before baking.
2. In our stockings this year, our awesome mom gave us these adorable La-Ta-Da bracelet/hair ties. How cute are they? Also, with each purchase, La-Ta-Da donates to Girl Up, the United Nations Foundation's adolescent girls campaign that provides leadership training to girls around the world!
3. If you have a Macbook and want to protect it (and look cute), try this hard case and keyboard cover I got from Amazon last week! I love the rose gold color, but there are so many great options!
4. It's an oldie but a goodie, but we got caught up in a Parks and Recreation marathon and that show totally holds up! If you haven't watched it, you definitely need to binge it right now!
5. Every New Year's Eve, we enjoy a meal of snacks and appetizers. Most of the dishes change from year to year, but we always have these prosciutto and leek empanadas. The Manchego cheese makes them extra special and they're even good leftover the next day.
6. Are you guys watching the new season of The Bachelor? We were kind of disappointed when Arie was chosen as the new Bachelor, but we have gotten sucked into this show once again.

Friday Pick-Six: 12/29/17
Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. It's been pretty freezing around TTO Headquarters these days! One of my favorite Christmas presents this year has been getting a lot of use! I love these Sorel Joan of Arctic Boots. They're high enough to keep your pants dry in the snow and are temperature rated to -25 below zero! --J
2. If you're looking for a cocktail for New Year's, we plan to give these Holiday Moscow Mules a try! They look festive and delicious and will give Ry an excuse to use her new Moscow Mule mugs. (A Christmas present from J!)
3. Everyone starts thinking about getting into shape on January 1st, but we think about it year round. If you're looking forward to some serious workouts that don't require fighting for space at the gym, try these printable bodyweight workouts from Popsugar.
4. This year in the family Christmas drawing, my brother and I each got each other. We actually got one another same present if you can believe it! We each got a pair of these Beats by Dre Ur Beats earbuds. I got the rose gold and my brother got the red and black. So far, we like them and they're an affordable upgrade from the typical iPhone earbuds. --J
5. You know we love face masks and reship oil so we were obviously psyched when Ry found this SpaLife Hydrating Sugar and Rosehip Oil mask at Target. Give it a try!
6. If you're post-holiday shopping, don't forget there are lots of great sale codes out there. GAP has 40% off with the code WISH and an extra 20% off sale with the code GIFTS. Old Navy has 20% off your order no code necessary!
What are you loving and living for this week? We hope you have a great New Year's Eve and we'll be back with more content next week! Here's to 2018!

Friday Pick-Six: 12/22/17
You guys, this is our 151st post! More than 150 posts in the last 9 months is pretty awesome. Thanks to you all for reading and commenting and following us!! Here's to more awesome content coming at ya this holiday season and beyond!
Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. We definitely want to make this bourbon-cranberry shrub cocktail this weekend! Perfect for the holidays!
2. When picking a pedicure recently, I went with Essie's Dressed to the Nineties. It's a dark, almost black purple with a greenish shimmer. It gave me the dark wintery vibe I wanted and my kiddo thought it was "still Christmasey" thanks to the shimmer. --J
3. How delicious does this white hot chocolate look? We might have to try this out on Christmas Eve!!
4. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have released their engagement photos! Despite what our Mom and Grandma say, we love them together! Check out our fave gals on Go Fug Yourself for photos and commentary.
5. We have talked before about our love for Three Sisters Jewelry and how pretty is this new initial necklace featured on their Instagram this week? We know Christmas shopping is probably done around TTO Headquarters, but maybe for our birthday?
6. One of my favorite coworkers made candy cane vodka as one of her homemade Christmas presents this year! I cannot wait to use it to make some cocktails with it! If we mix up something we like, we'll be sure to add it to the blog soon! --J
What are you loving and living for this week? Hope you have a great weekend. We'll take a break from blog content for the holiday weekend, but will be back with new posts by Wednesday!
Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals!

Friday Pick-Six: 12/15/17
Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. Since it's release last week, we've been watching season two of The Crown on Netflix. We're only about half way through (NO SPOILERS!) but so far, Prince Philip is NOT our favorite. Hoping to finish up the season this weekend.
2. Our cousin's adorable girlfriend and faithful blog reader (Hi, Kayleigh!) is having an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party this weekend! We don't want to give our looks away just yet, but if you're looking for an ugly Christmas sweater, try Target! They just have everything, right?
3. We're big fans of stashing cookie dough in the freezer, but we never thought of this brilliant suggestion on Cup of Jo this week. Bring frozen cookie dough as a hostess gift! Your hostess can store it to enjoy later, or bake it off as an impromptu dessert! What a great tip! Plus that Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe looks like a winner!
4. We've talked about our love for Mrs. Meyer's Cleaning supplies before, but how about this Peppermint scented holiday hand soap? Love it!
5. I was looking to do a little holiday baking with the kiddo on our Snow Day this week, but I didn't want to get into mixing ingredients. Luckily, I grabbed a package of Betty Crocker Gingerbread Cookie Mix at Target last week. You just add egg and butter and you're good to go!
6. One of Ry's favorite things is the annual Haters Guide to the Williams-Sonoma catalog. We always crack up reading this!
What are you up to this weekend? Hope you have a great one!

Friday Pick-Six: 12/8/17
Here's what we're loving and living for this week.
1. This week, our family was in the mood for breakfast for dinner. We decided to try out this amazing Potato Tot Breakfast Casserole from Real Simple. It was easy, hearty and the leftovers held up great! I think this would be perfect for a holiday brunch, too. --J
2. We both love the look of shellac nails, but we hate trying to remove them ourselves. What a mess! Ry discovered these gel nail remover packets at (where else?) Target. You simply rip open the packet, stick in your finger and let it sit for 15 minutes. Much less mess than foils and cotton balls all over your bathroom!
3. If you're Christmas shopping for a kid, I found a great book this week. Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History by Vashti Harrison was a student-requested book I purchased for our class. It features 40 important Black women in American History (and adorable illustrations). It would be great for a little gal in your life who was in the 6-10 age range. --J
4. We've mentioned how much we love Julep before, but one of our current faves is the Eyeshadow 101. It's a crayon style eyeshadow with a smudge stick built in! Such a great add to your fast makeup routine!
5. Starbucks has their seasonal drinks out in full force these days, so we've tried a few new options. Just to change it up a little, we tried the Snickerdoodle Hot Chocolate this week. It was a little chocolatey, a little cinnamony and totally Christmasey.
6. At Target's Black Friday sale, I stocked up on pajamas for the whole family. I am in love with the plaid PJ set from Gilligan O'Malley I got for myself. It's so cozy and warm! --J

Friday Pick-Six: 12/1/17
Here's what we're loving and living for this week!
1. You guys, Prince Henry and Meghan Markle are engaged! We couldn't be more excited for another royal wedding. There's great coverage on People and Go Fug Yourself!
2. Speaking of the fantastic future Duchess Meghan, did you spot that wrap coat she wore in their engagement photos? How classic and beautiful. The actual coat is sold out and the manufacturer's site crashed this week, but how cool is this wrap coat Ry snapped up this week?
3. Earlier this week as I was getting through the flu (Ry and I both spent Thanksgiving week being totally sick), I wanted something cozy but work appropriate to wear to the first day back from vacation. I paired these herringbone leggings from Athleta with my favorite tunic sweater from Gap for a casual yet put-together look. --J
4. We've got an upcoming post to suggest our favorite nail colors for the holiday season, but we wanted to give you a heads-up on a perfect Christmas color! Jade to Measure from Essie's holiday collection has a little shimmer and is the perfect green!
5. If you're anything like me, your Elf on the Shelf has returned for the holiday season! If you're looking for some great ideas to set up your Elf in some fun ways, check out this post.
6. We each grabbed some of these Old Navy cozy socks at the Black Friday-Cyber Monday sale this week! Who doesn't like warm socks?
