Whenever Rob and I tell people that we live in Minneapolis, you can bet that the first thing that comes out of their mouth is usually, "Oh, gosh, you know it's cold there, right?" And at the risk of sounding like a huge brat, let me say that yes, we do know. This weekend was exceptionally cold, with a windchill of -26 on Sunday, but on Saturday, it was an entire nine degrees above zero, so while we were out running some errands, we stopped at Lake Normandale to snap a few photos.

I must be adjusting well to this climate, because I decided to leave my jacket in the car and was outside for ten whole minutes! So without further ado, here's what I wore this weekend (mostly under my parka).

Sweater + Corduroys: J.Crew | Glasses: Kate Spade

Vest: Ralph Lauren | Necklace: Ann Taylor LOFT

Boots: c/o Oliberte | Bag: Hobo

Watch: Gift from Rob | Bracelet: J.Crew

  

Stay warm out there, friends.

Finding yourself back in a fitness routine again after the holidays can be rough--I know. But simple things like colorful, comfy clothes can make the transition a little easier. Lorna Jane sent me a great pair of leggings and a bright tank top to spice up my gym (or living room) time this year and I'm really loving them so far. I was excited to try cropped pants since most leggings I wear are full-length. The tops run a little big, so if you're going to order something, maybe go a size down.

Lorna Jane also has an awesome e-book packed with tips and recipes to help you kick sugar to the curb in 2014. Check it out here. And while you're at it, visit Move Nourish Believe, Lorna Jane's beautiful blog. This is an awesome company and I'm so glad to have the opportunity to work with them.

It's a new year! Let's make the most of it.

A couple of months ago, my friend Jenna sent me and a few other Paleo-minded bloggers an email with an idea. 

"I want to start a website," she said, "and I want it to take what I always loved about my blog and make it into a magazine-style site that women go to for:

Recipes: specifically clean, paleo, allergen free

Workouts: functional workouts, yoga, active recovery

Skincare: makeup, routines, masks, etc.

Haircare: tutorials

Advice: on all of the above

Female health i.e. hormones, reproductive health, pregnancy

The kicker? I don't want to be the sole writer. I want the site to work as a team of writers - contributing when they can."

So that's exactly what we did. And it's my pleasure to finally show you what we came up with. I hope you find yourself enjoying The Eighty Twenty as much as we do.

Let us know what you think! Have a wonderful weekend, friends.
