Good morning!
We have a special visitor over the next little while. My brother in law Pete is here visiting from out West! Eric picked him up from the airport last night at midnight. So last night I decided to make a loaf of fabulous Brown Sugar Banana Bread. The house smelled awesome!
After that Eric and I got on our hands and knees and scrubbed the floors. Then vacuumed up our mess from stripping wall paper. It was a great workout. I appreciate any form of exercise these days.
Now it is time to announce the next contest! Weeeeeeeeeee.

I didn’t have a great sleep last night due to our baby…..errr….cat Sketchie! He meowed and played with his ping pong balls all night! And then when we wouldn’t get up in the morning, he meowed and meowed and meowed. I said to Eric, ‘Whose bright idea was it to have KIDS!?’ lol. So we got up.
I definitely needed a Green Monster this morning. I swear these drinks make my skin glow! I really think I have noticed a difference in my skin since I have been drinking them (a few weeks now??).
Do you see what I see?

pick me! :D
Fellow Canadian Here!
My lululemon pants! Love your website, keep up the great work!
my seven jeans!
Good morning!
I love my running skirts. Even when I’m slow they make me feel fast!
my favorite article of clothing in my closet is a PINK hoodie, it is so comfie, and i wear all the time!
To be honest, since I started losing weight (in April) my closet’s been looking pretty depleted, and since I’m still far away from my goal weight, I’m not crazy about anything in there right now!
If I had to pick, I’d say my North Face fleece.
oh this is a hard one. Especially since I have my whole (summer and winter) wardrobe in my closet. I’m lucky it’s pretty big. But push comes to shove it would be a “dressy” sweatshirt from Aritzia (Canadian store). It’s great sweatshirt material, but not super casual looking so I can wear it out and not look like I’m going to/coming from the gym. I love it so much I got it in 3 different colours.
have a good one!
yay for contests and canadians.
i just got home to ontario…whoa for snow. there is definetly no snow in nyc.
my favorite piece of clothing is definetly my lululemon capris. i wear them to spinning everyday and they have lasted fooooorrrrrrever.
cheers!!!
probably my R&R jeans that i need to wear crazy high heels with because they are too long!! So while I love them, my feet probably don’t:-)
love the blog Angela, you’re awesome!
My giant green fuzzy bathrobe.
My favorite thing are my yoga pants I got from Gap.
My favorite piece of clothing is this tight black dress that has a red band around the waist and white around the collar. I wear it with high black shoes…it’s my boyfriend’s favorite!!
I love my Lululemon athletic v tank!!!
i love seeing pictures of your house! It’s so neat.
Probably this grey T-shirt my lil sis gave me, or a huge flannel beast of a shirt that someone like an aunt gave me. Sentimental stuff :) But I love wearing both!
Your clothing is so cute. And you, of course, are just gorgy! It makes me think of drinkin my own smoothies for glowin skin… but I’m not sure I can quite give up my mornin oats!
My favorite piece of clothing is a black high-waisted skirt from H&M. It is unique because it is a 50’s look with a modern edge to it. It is my favorite piece of clothing not only because it is fabulous but because I bought it when I lived in Sweden on a shopping date in Stockholm with some of my girlfriends who came to visit me for the summer. I don’t have a blog but my email is [email protected]
Morning i just discovered your blog about 2 weeks ago and can’t get enough!! Super excited for the gear its adorable!! My fav. pieces of clothing would be my jeans with a ribbed tank and heels!!
a pair of jeans i’ve had for years. they are beginning to fall apart!
i love all of my yoga pants and could probably live in them forever. i dislike wearing real pants.
My favorite piece of clothing is a comfy pair of jeans and a white t shirt. Its such a classic and relaxed look and is suuuuper comfy!
My favorite item is my Aerosoles suede wedge shoes. They give me the perfect 1.5 inches of height I need to stretch me up :)
I really should try one of these green monster smoothies one of these days.. they sound awesome!
My favorite thing in my closet is not really a piece of clothing… but its my gold pair of Asics. I always wear 2130s.. and usually end up going through all of the colors of the season. I qualified for Boston running my first marathon in those shoes! They are officially retired now.. but I will never get rid of them (or any of my old running shoes! I’m gonna need a bigger closet soon)!
BLACK LULU HOODIE! LOVE IT!
Great contest! My fav is a sweater a good friend’s mother knitted for me. Her mom actually lives in Korea now, so it brings back tons of memories.
And I make green smoothies too! Only I make mine with soy milk, banana, frozen mixed berries and spinach. People think I’m odd for putting spinach in a smoothie, but I think it is wonderful and leaves me feeling super clean.
My PJs!!! :-)
My favorite piece of clothing is the hoodie from the racing stable where I worked one summer. It is super comfy and has so many memories attached to it. :-)
That brown sugar banana bread looks amazing. I am off to check out the recipe. Yumm.
My favorite piece of clothing is my vintage Red Wings fleece pants – http://shop.nhl.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3308834&cp=&kw=red+wings+vintage+pants&origkw=red+wings+vintage+pants&sr=1
So comfy and so soft…

I love my skinny jeans!!!
Definitely my jeans….couldn’t live without them!
Hmm… that’s SO tough! I guess for the bottom it would be my lululemon pants (of course!) and for the top I have a New Balance running jacket in a sapphire blue from my first 1/2 marathon!
Have a good day Angela! :)
That bread looks DIVINE!
Yoga pants. 5 pairs all in black, I wear them everyday !! I will link back to this post.
Bread looks awesome.
Love your blog! My favorite piece of clothing is a orange short sleeve baby doll sweater, that I wear all too often with a long sleeve white tee under. I always get compliments on it, and it makes me feel cute. Too bad it was from a boutique , and pretty pricy, so it was basically the only piece of new clothing I bought since fall :-)
From Raleigh here!
I love your website!
My favorite piece of clothing in my closet is my UNCW sweatshirt. It reminds me of college life, sitting around in my comfy clothes ;-)
Thanks Angela!
Dana
I love my flight suit….keeps me safe and looking all Top Gun!
My favorite thing in my closet right now is my pair of 7 sevens which I got on crazy sale and fit my body amazingly.
My green hoodie…so comfy!
oooo I love my blue summer dress!!!! I have a contest up today:)
Ooohhh good question. I think my favorite its a short blue turtleneck dress that I have. I like to wear it with knee high boots when its warm enough :-)
my jeans that are now too big because of some of the weight I have lost. It shows progress!
I love my yellow LL Bean fleece vest. It’s my favorite thing!
I love my silky tops… they go with everything!
hmm…I would say its a toss up between my black north face fleece, my black scarf or jeans…I love them all and wear at least one of them most days!! thanks!
Mel
I love your oh she glows gear its adorable! My fav piece in my closet is a recent addition actually. My mom is an amazing bargain hunter and found the most beautiful pair of shoes ever for me! They are such a pretty shade of purple (almost have a soft shimmer to them) peep toed pumps that have this almost black ruffle on the back. I’ll have to post a pic on my blog now that I’m thinking about it because I just love them!
One of the benefits of green smoothies according to Victoria Boutenko (who wrote a whole book about green smoothies, called Green for Life) is getting a nicer skin, so it definitely could be the green smoothies. :-)
Ah I have work out capri’s that would match the hoodie perfectly! I need it!
My favorite piece of clothing is probably my skinny jeans. Definitely couldn’t live without them. And fuzzy socks!
favorite piece of clothing – my extra long yoga pants from victoria’s secret!

These orange Abercrombie and Fitch sweatpants that used to be my little sister’s and a Culinary Institute of America hoodie that looks sort of old but I just got in the fall…haha, I like to be comfy!
My AMAZING yoga pants from Casall! I bought them in the most amazing little shop here in DK that just sell dancing clothes and yoga outfits, and the girls working there can make you feel like a million bucks when working out. The pants make my ass look amazing, hugs my flat tummy and have exactly the right width as to doing yoga in them – perfect!

About a month ago I started eating healthier than ever, I have shed a few pounds and the hubby has lost 17! Thank you I may be a regular!
Oh and my favorite article of clothing…jeans! I work in a professional environment so I live for weekend clothes!

Woah, this is a hard question! Hmm… probably my blue gown that I bought for a harp concerto concert. It’s so nice!

My favorite piece of clothing light peach Gianni Bini dress that I wore to my husbands graduation! Ohhhhhhhh its too lovely for words! :D

My favorite piece of clothing is two pieces: two pieces that go with that “little black dress,” jeans, skirts, anything and that’s why I love them–they’re open-toed royal blue/purple pumps that I bought for my high school prom! I call them my “mermaid” shoes–you know how dorothy clicks here red sequined heels together…? You get the point, they make me feel special! I also love them because of the memories I’ve had while wearing them. They are great to dress up an outfit–Oh, and they’re COMFORTABLE! :]

Hi Angela!
My favorite piece of clothing is my fleece from Horny Toad! It is so soft!
My favorite piece of clothing is a soft warm black San Francisco tee shirt with rhynstone stars in the sky!!
My favorites things are my new Asics. They are the Gel-Nimbus ones, and they are what is taking me from being lazy, to running my first 5K.
My husband got them for me for Christmas, even though they were expensive and I am in no way ready to run at all. But I WILL be, and he showed his unending faith in me by giving me these.
So I guess what is really my favorite thing, is my husband’s love!
My favorite article of clothing….
My heated slippers! lol
As much as I hate wearing it sometimes, I really love being able to dance around in a leotard, tights, and a tutu :)
i love that hoodie!! i will link back to you asap.
favorite clothing … my flannel cupcake pj pants!
Hi Angela! My favorite is my northface fleece. I hope you have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
Ohh….do I have to pick just one item?! I have a spring jersey dress that I absolutely adore…great for warm summer days or with leggings!
Tough question BUT I think I have an answer :) I have this shamelessly scandalous dress from the Roberto Cavalli for H&M collection. It’s leopard print, shows off the girls, and makes my butt look great!!
Most of all I think I love it because back in my bigger days I would have never been able to wear it. It reminds me of how far I’ve come!
PS: I’ll also link back to this post on my blog!
My favorite piece of clothing is probably my favorite pair of jeans. But I just lost a bunch of weight, so I don’t have many clothes in my new size.
favorite…my pink shag clogs (aka slippers). My friends know to expect me wearing them when they come over!
The hoodie is cute!!! I need it! :)
My favorite article of clothing is a cute, girly, wrap sweater that I got from Anthropologie this fall. It was the perfect special piece for the fall/winter!
Kaneil, balanceisbest
My lulus of course!!
Super cute hoodie :o)
Oh She Glows has quickly (and easily) become my fav blog to check each morning (and throughout the day!)
My favorite article of clothing is a gorgeous blue Rebecca Taylor dress I wore for my engagement pictures and my bridal shower. I feel so pretty and feminine in it. I’ve been trying your green monsters lately and they are so filling and yummy. I had some frozen pineapple in the freezer, so I threw some of that in and it was the best!!
My favorite article of clothing are my yoga pants! I could wear yoga wants every day for the rest of my life :) So comfortable!
I love that hoodie!!

My favorite article of clothing in my closet is my supercomfy long black sweater that wraps around me and is perfect to snuggle up in. I love to wear it! And it had been on sale- even better!
My favorite item is a pair of lounge pants I have from Brooks. I change into them as soon as I get home from work and I live in them on the weekends.
My favorite piece of clothing is this pair of gray fleece pants that are so comfy for lounging and keep me super warm in the winter!

My fav clothing item…has to be my sweater dress because it is the most comfortable thing I own but doesnt look like Im being lazy! Love the contest thanks :)
My Adidas running capris!
My favorite piece of clothing is my wedding dress. I had an idea in my head of what I wanted for forever and I found the exactly perfect thing on sale at Black Market White House for $28! My dress was probably the cheapest part of my (very inexpensive) beach wedding and I LOVE it!

I have a dress that I bought at Ann Taylor a few years ago… It’s silk taffeta with blue roses on it. It looks vintage to me, and I feel beautiful when I wear it.
By the way, I LOVE your blog. I never leave comments, but I visit it several times a day. You’re such a inspiration!
Oops… I forgot to add my name to my comment:

I love my Maryland sweatshirt…It’s where I went to college, and of course it’s got TONS of use when I would roll out of bed and go to class, so it’s all soft and everything. Perfect!
My favorite depends on my mood. For going out it is definitely my “little black dress” which is amazing. For other times it is my Hardtail yoga pants I bought at the yoga journal conference last January.
My favourite piece of clothing is my Lulu cropped workout pants. They’ve fit me from my heaviest to 20 pounds lighter! They are little miracle workers.
I love my plaid pants. Why? Well, everytime I wear them, I get many compliments from my friends, and I even got a compliment from this one fellow saying that it made my butt look nice in them. XD Not only that, they’re incredibly comfortable, and I can pull them up over my belly on the days I’m bloating. They make me feel completely confident, and that’s why they’re my favorite.
well, it’s not “in” my closet, but I have this one pair of jeans that I love. They’re falling apart – I’ve already had them fixed once – but they’re so soft and worn in. I hope I never have to get rid of them :)
My favorite piece of clothing in my closet is my full length, green paisly Express jacket!! Love it!
My favorite piece of clothing is my 3/4 sleeve white shirt that fits under tee’s so well when it is cool outside, but I still want to wear my cute summer tops!
Favourite piece of clothing… a cute black, belted dress that can be worn day or night -winter or summer!! :)
