I have found two life missions today.

How have I missed these posts?

Well, I want to check off these babies:

• 25 Bakeries Around The World You Have To See Before You Die 
• 27 Ice Cream Shops You Need To Visit Before You Die

Mission accepted. 

Life will be complete!

One cavity, one brain freeze at a time!

I think these might be up there with my Ralph's addition!!! 

Have you all been to Ralph's in NY & NJ before?

If not, stop what you are doing now. And go.

It won't dissappoint!

Thank you buzzfeed for this intense research.

Sincerely,

The Sweetest Tooth aka Tee

Oh Capri!

You know when you see lots of quotes about 

how travel changes who you are and how you see things?

You wonder - really?

Well my blogging friends:

I absolutely, 100% agree with all of those wise tales.

It simply shows you beauty in ways 

you are not use to experiencing it. 

Travel shows you culture.

Embraces how others love their life.

How simple life can really be.

Tells stories of history like you ever seen [or read].

Ooolala. 

Our trip to Italy was amazing. 

We cannot wait to return.

We cannot wait to travel again. 

We cannot put into words what we experience.

Life. Travel. Love.

My new motto. HA!

Has anyone else been to the Isle of Capri in Italy? 

I just want to go back! 

The tiny town.

The beautiful water.

The grottos.

The boats.

The wine.

The views.

Italy stole a part of my heart, forever and ever.

Breathtaking, truly.

Can't wait to some day return to that beauty.

Simple Meal

Good morning blogging world!

Last night I whipped up some spaghetti and meatballs.

Something about that meal just makes everything right in the world.

Don't you agree?

Hope you have a happy hump day!

Ants in the Pants

I love the color black.

In my wardrobe, she rules.

She is slimming.

Works with most everything.

Dress on up.

Dress on down.

Outside, inside.

Black works for all things possible.

And I wear it all the time. 

All. the. time.

Classic, yes.

Trendy, can be.

Leading me to this topic...

As I am preparing for an 

amazing adventure with my better half,

As I embark on trying to be fancier

 for the new year...at both work and out of work.

As I want to spice up my wardrobe...

I fancy these classics.

Yes oh yes I do.

These are the traveling pants, as I like to call them.

Like I mentioned above, an adventure is about to take place.

Airports, trains, buses, taxis.

Less wrinkles, 

Timeless look.

Sign me up.

Lilly Pulitzer - Hepburn Cigarette

Oh the work outfit. 

My classy cubicle would love this scalloped look. 

Kate Spade Scalloped Hem - Jacki Capri

As would it love this one 

with the various ways 

one could dress up or make it casual. 

J.Crew - Minnie Pants

Please add all three to my closet

in the near and dear future of mine! 

Do you love the color black in your wardrobe?

Cozy Feet

This Florida girl is going to FREEZE tonight!

Literally.

HAHA.

Any FSU fans out there?

We are heading to a local bar that mainly has seating outside. 

Makes sense, Florida is the Sunshine State. 

BUT tonight,

Tonight! Of all nights.

It is dropping to the 30sssssss.

EEEEEkkkk.

Like I said, this girl is going to be frozen.

I am stocking up on my camp socks.

Love those babies.

Layering on up.

And hoping my beer keeps me warm 

as we cheer on a win for Florida State.

Happy Monday ya'll!

Week 3 of 3

These past 3 weeks have

flown. by.

Wow.

Weigh in will be in just 4 more days. 

Cross your fingers for me.

Cross your fingers for the 6 ladies who have been

heaven sent to me.

And I hope me for them!

It is hard to stay on track.

To live healthy.

To pick the right choices all of the time.

But it is okay to slip.

Just don't fall too much off the wagon.

That's the trick.

Here's to just a few more days until my next chapter.

Hang on lovelies!

Week 2 of 3

Week 1 Recap:

So far so good. 

Staying on path.

I do need to make much more healthier food choices.

But getting up and moving for 30 minutes and

walking the pup has been successful.

5 times a week.

Then enter the weekend.

Bad.

Bad.

Bad.

But Monday rolled around and I was on fire!

I will take it!

Better than bad bad bad 7 days a week right?

So changes already taking place:

Smaller food portions.

Got to start somewhere.

And that is what I am focusing on.

It is hard.

Not going to lie.

What small changes can you make?

Courage

I am preparing for an interview. 

An interview with a panel at that.

Have you ever interiewed with a panel of 8 people before?

8 pair of eyes staring at you.

Feeling like they are judging you.

Talk about nerves. 

This may tie into my areas of improvement.

Those pesky weaknesses.

I am not one for public speaking. 

I am not one to answer random questions 

and come up with great responses on the fly.

Who knew so many Americans were!

And it has it's own name...Glossophobia.

Learned something new today!

Which got me thinking.

I need to change that.

I need to improve that quality.

I need to practice.

Speaking out loud.

Answering questions to groups.

Take advantage of any and every opportunity.

Whew. 

My anxiety kicked in quickly just thinking about it.

This girl loves to be behind the scenes.

Not in front.

Hello, I eloped for a reason!

2014. 

You will be the year I start to conquer....

Public Speaking.

Where oh where can I get that motivation from?

Let me tell you a secret...

I have always dreamt of teaching 

an event course at a college.

[Remember I live for events]

But if I can't breathe in front of 8 interviewers...

How in the world will this girl 

get the courage to speak in front of 30 students.

What are some areas you can create more courage?

Do you have a weakness that can be worked on?

We all do. 

Let's tackle them together.

TRUTH: I need your help.

So I have been thinking. 

{No it does not hurt}

 Pff!!

November is here THIS WEEK. 

I am turning [30] in a few short weeks. 

Scary. Anxious. Nervous. Sad. 

Mixed feelings to say the least.

Thanksgiving will be here one day after my birthday.

Best. Holiday. Ever. Hands. Down.

And I need help motivating myself 

and in turn will help others. 

For 21 days. 

ONLY 21 days. 

Start a new rountine.

I am doing three things differently come November 4.

Come on, starting on a Monday is cake and helps keep me accountable. 

1. Eating more veggies and proteins and giving up on the starches. 

I will share my recipes, You can share yours too!

2. Kicking up my fitness to 25 mintues in the morning for 5 days (Monday - Friday). 

I will be doing a program called T25. 

You can head to your gym, 

run around your block, 

flip on the TV and 

do any fitness program. 

Your Choice!

3. Being more positive. Saying those kind words. Thinking positively.

Let's change the inner me too.  

Easy peasy. Right? 

I need help with this. 

Will 5 people join me? 

We will hold each other accountable.

A text in the morning.

An email checking in during the day.

A facebook message asking how it is going.

A weekly phone call.

A drive by (if you are close by).

Anything, yes anything to stay on task for 21 days.

I will help YOU too in the same measures or where your weakness comes in.

I WILL BE THERE FOR YOU. friends style.

do you have that song in your head now?

This is what I need. 

Don't you need it too?

A C C O U N T A B I L I T Y.

There is no denying it. 

I need it and I am asking for help.

Your lovely faces help. <3 

Message me if you are up for it. 

taylor {dot} montgomery 3 {at} gmail {dot} com

No gimmicks. 

No tricks. *It is after Halloween on purpose*

Just me + you (and 4 others).

Getting in a rountine to make it stick. 

Becoming life friends. Aww so sweet!

Let's do this TOGETHER! 

Can't wait for this journey.

But I need your help.
