Happy 2017! It’s the first Friday of the new year and it’s already going by fast!
I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year’s and a Merry Christmas! We’ve been back in full swing on Chemistry Cachet this week, and it feels great to get back into a routine.
My parents got us a Keurig for Christmas. I absolutely love it! We’ve been experimenting with different coffee roasts and brands. I will share soon all our favorites.
If you follow me on snapchat (add me with username alexisroch), then you’ve seen Ruger’s latest obsession. His has become crazy over my yoga mat! I’ve been doing Pilates almost everyday while it is cold outside, and he immediately runs over to the mat and plops down on it. He will even bring his toys with him lol
When I tell him to get off, he looks at me like this.
One of the ways I am staying happy this winter is working out everyday inside. You can read Monday’s post about all my tips to stay happy this winter!
I snapped this picture with my phone on our way home one day. Winter skies in Texas can be so pretty! Especially out in the middle of nowhere 🙂
I’ve been playing around more with my zoom lens and saw this cute little bird way up in the tree. I had to look up what kind he was because I have never seen one like this! I took Ornithology in college, but it was in the spring, so we didn’t see as many winter birds. This is a Field Sparrow that only comes to Texas in the winter! So cute though 🙂
You can see more pictures on instagram (like Ruger being a cutie) 🙂 !
People always ask questions about my favorite salt on snapchat . You can read my chemist tips on it here. We have a fun snack recipe coming up soon using this salt, so stay tuned for that! It will be perfect for the superbowl!
If you missed yesterday’s post about organizing, check it out here! I am not sure why, but every new year I start organizing just about everything in the house! It feels so good to get everything back in order after the holidays!
What are your plans for the weekend?

We use a pink salt with some of our foods and it’s so tasty! Love that pretty sunset picture & yay for a new coffee maker! We’ve used ours (almost to death) for the last 5 years!! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston

I seriously am obsessed with Himalayan Pink Sea Salt now. I’ve even gotten my mom hooked on it. SO much better than regular salt. <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
Alexis says
So many good chemicals in it!

Damn read the post got stuck talking to Tim, had to read again, got stuck talking to Tim again and now have to read post again to remind me what it was all about, bloody Tim……………………lol
Oh yeah I was going to tell you about DC a dog we had whenever I exercised (don’t faint) I used to exercise all the time anyway he loved to get under my feet or if I was on the ground he loved to try and lay on my back which was somewhat annoying
Alexis says
That’s too funny!! Ruger sometimes will try to sit on my lap too…which can be painful since he is so heavy lol
Laurie S says
Happy Friday! The first week of the new year is done, already?! Ruger is such a cutie and so mischievous at the same time. Looks like you might need another yoga mat. ? This weekend – trying to stay dry in the upcoming massive rain storm.
Alexis says
I think he definitely needs his own mat 🙂 Have a great weekend! We had a little snow yesterday which was pretty random, but neat too!
J @ Bless Her Heart Y'all says
Such pretty Texas sunsets! It still looks warm even in the middle of winter! I need to try the pink salt thing. I hear people raving over it. And Ca-uuuute gold nails! Love them!
Alexis says
Thanks girl!! Pink salt is really neat. And has so many good benefits too!!
