Favorite Song
A couple of nights ago, I was putting together a new playlist on my phone for training. The only thing that gets me through a workout is music so my playlists are sacred to me. I add a couple of new songs each week just to keep things exciting but I still love hearing songs that have been on this playlist for months or even years.
My new favorite addition to the playlist is Hardwell's "Dare You." Another thing I should add here is that I have an obsession with Amy Purdy, the U.S. Paralympic Snowboarder, now turned motivational speaker. She came in 2nd place last season on Dancing with the Stars and performed with this song. Needless to say, it was unforgettable.

Favorite Quote
I can say with absolute certainty that I am in a place in life that I never thought I would be. 22 years old is an age when you are bombarded with questions about what you're going to do with your life, who you're going to be, etc. And that can get exhausting... real fast. I always think to myself, do these older and established people end up exactly where they thought they'd be at 22 years old? Probably not.
This quote reminds me of why New Years is one of my favorites. I actually hate the pressure to have the coolest plans ever, wear a tight sparkly dress, sip champagne all night (ok, I love that part), and find a hunk to kiss at midnight. BUT I love the symbolism of a clean slate. A fresh start. You can do anything you want with the 365 days ahead of you! I love New Years Resolutions and having a new attitude towards the time ahead of you. But I'm not going to wait until New Years to have that feeling.

Favorite Drink
So have I not mentioned that my mom is my favorite? On Sunday, I was in the basement, snuggled under a blanket, watching Peyton get clobbered by the Pats (can someone throw those Manning brothers a bone, please?!) Suddenly, my mom appears with a cocktail. We were experimenting with a new signature cocktail for the holidays and I found one on Pinterest (obviously) that we had to try. She asked me to try it and HELLO it was delish. It's my new favorite drink! Plus, it's super easy to make.
1 part Caramel vodka + 2 parts apple cider + sprinkle of cinnamon = Happy Maddie
